Casa Belinda | Quaint Village Stone Cottage on Hvar Island

Simplicity at its best at this quintessential Dalmatian stone house just steps away from all that’s best of quaint Vrboska. Casa Belinda has a gentle, sweet-natured soul and a deep-rooted connection with its surroundings, and sits under the watchful eye of the 16th century fortress of St. Mary. A loving refurbishment has exalted the intimate charm of its internal spaces and transformed the courtyard and balcony terrace into a little oasis of peace, where the pleasures of al fresco living are irresistible.

Casa Belinda is a semi-detached stone house spread over two levels. Wherever possible, the property's stone tile flooring, exposed stone walls, and original wooden beams have been left to speak for themselves, giving guests a real feel for the dwelling's architectural heritage.

The main entrance takes one into a welcoming, open-plan dining area and kitchen, with the mixture of cheerful red kitchen cabinets and antique solid wood furniture setting the tone for the rest of the house. Behind the dining table, you’ll find the lounge area and the ground floor bathroom, complete with a bathtub shower.

A staircase to the right leads you upstairs, where you’ll find the bedrooms, two doubles and a twin, and a further bathroom.

Life at Casa Belinda is meant to be spent outdoors. The simple, cosy indoor living areas spill out onto a spacious courtyard terrace. Fully furnished for relaxing, eating, reclining, and cooking (courtesy of the barbecue and sink), the terrace is where you will spend most of your time. The balcony terrace is also a wonderful spot for morning coffee, from where the views across the village rooftops out to the sea are magnetic.
