About this property
Purpose-built new seaside holiday villa with great views and heated pool
Nine Olives Hvar is a new architect-designed holiday house on the edge of the historic and beautiful town of Stari Grad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on Hvar island.
It has been carefully designed to be perfect for extended families and groups of friends to holiday together.
Nine Olives Hvar overlooks a beautiful bay, with beach and swimming area. It faces north-west, so sunsets are stunning.
It is an easy and beautiful walk along the harbourside to the town centre, where there is a great range of places to eat and drink and things to do. A car is not needed.
It is easy to get to Stari Grad by ferry from Split, with several ferries a day. Many airlines fly to Split.

About the host
Hosted by David Geddes
I was born and brought up in Southern Africa, but have lived in England since 1980. I am a business consultant specialising in culture and heritage. I have many interests and travel extensively. I deal with all interactions with guests. The house is managed by Sanela Moškatelo, who lives locally.
Why they chose this property
I was first introduced to Stari Grad by a colleague in 2005. She had spent a lot of time looking for the best place in Croatia to have a holiday house, and settled on Stari Grad. She considered it an exceptionally beautiful town and pleasant place to spend holiday time. I agreed with her judgement. We jointly owned a holiday rental home in the town until we sold it in 2019. I then looked for the ideal place to build a purpose-built new house. Nine Olives Hvar is the result, after 5 years of detailed planning and construction.
What makes this property unique
The house is truly unlike any other holiday villa. The design has won awards.
It is very unusual in being purpose built as a holiday house, rather than just being a normal house used for holiday making.
Each of the four main bedrooms the same size, with a view of the sea and large ensuite shower room. They are large, well fitted and very comfortable. Each can either have a double bed or two single beds.
The fifth room, which has two single beds, forms a suite with one the main rooms. It is designed specially for families with children. It also works fine for adults because it can be accessed independently.
A bathroom (with a large bath tub) is shared by all the rooms. There is also a beautiful secluded outdoor shower, with hot and cold, in the garden.
The chapel style structure at the upper levels has the dining and kitchen area, with a lounge at the highest level, where the views are best. The dining room has a round table seating 10. There are also tables seating 10 on the roof terrace and in the garden.
The house has excellent natural ventilation, with cool breezes off the sea in the summer. It has also has ceiling fans and full thermostat controlled air conditioning.
The house faces north west, looking directly into the sunset. There are fantastic sunsets most evenings.
The beautiful swimming pool is heated to 29 degrees in cooler months. It is treated by hydrolysis, with no chemicals.
The house is 100 m from a lovely swimming area and beach, with a beautiful beach bar. A short walk along the harbourside leads to the town centre, where there are many bars, restaurants, shops and other things to do. Stari Grad is one of the oldest continuously occupied towns in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There is great walking and cycling from the house and many nice day trips.
