Designer House | Epic Pool | A+ Location Overlooking Stari Grad Old Town
Our house is located in the very heart of Stari Grad village, overlooking the picturesque harbor. The villa was updated in 2020 with custom furniture designed for the house and we added a 15M pool (the largest pool on the island) in 2021. We wanted to create a relaxed yet sophisticated beach home that we would want to rent. No expense has been spared to create the most stylish and comfortable interiors on Hvar.
You will find a spacious, private and bright home with a large terrace that you will enjoy from early in the morning until late at night.
It is the perfect house and location to enjoy a Croatian island getaway. Great for couples, well traveled families, or a group of friends traveling together.
The house is set on a big, green property (impossible to find in town), which gives you the feeling of being removed, but at the same time only 100 meters to everything that you need in town. From the villa it’s a stroll to anywhere in the village with its bars, restaurants, supermarket, farmers market, butcher. There are also safe swimming beaches in walking distance.
The villa is two story: The upper floor has a large, but simple kitchen with a new refrigerator and dishwasher that leads out to the terrace with its beautiful view over the historic old town.
The terrace has a new custom lava stone table from Naples, and is where guests spend a lot of their time from morning to night. A BBQ is also located on the terrace.
The upper floor has a lounge, with cozy sofa and two airy bedrooms. The master bedroom has a custom king size bed with walnut accents throughout. The second bedroom has a custom queen bed. Both rooms have big armoires with ample storage and hanging space for your clothes.
There is a newly renovated large shared bathroom that has an open walk-in shower and a freestanding tub.
On the lower floor there is a big lounge area which has custom sofas and chairs and is ideal place for the family or younger adults to hang out. There is also a table to play games at and an area for working out/doing a yoga class. The lounge stays cool even on the hottest summer days.
There are two bedrooms downstairs. One room acts as a second master with a custom upholstered queen bed with its own entrance from outside and has an en-suite bathroom.
The other bedroom contains two twin beds with its own half bathroom. There is also a common full bathroom with shower downstairs.
There are four bedrooms in total, one king, two queens and one with two twins. All beds feature brand new comfortable mattresses and bed linens. As owners we are very conscious of wanting you to sleep restfully when you are here.
The downstairs terrace has a beautiful new lounge to relax on in the afternoon out of the sun.
The villa is fully furnished and has all the equipment you need, including wifi, and wireless speakers upstairs. No expense has been spared on accessories, Turkish towels, linens, and kitchen equipment.
POOL - A 15m x 10m private pool (the biggest pool on the island of Hvar)
The villa has two parking spaces.
If you like to explore, Hvar has many beaches, historical sites and other villages to visit and Stari Grad is ideally located in the middle of the island.
Stari Grad is where the ferry arrives, so it allows for easy access to the villa. We realize not everyone wants to stay a week in one place, and you might want to arrive on a Tuesday...we are very flexible on arrival dates and have a minimum stay of 5 nights unlike other villas.
The house is managed for us by a lovely local woman. She truly knows everyone on the island and is a great resource if you ever have a question while you are staying.

Absolutely lovely. Perfect location within walking distance of restaurants, bars, beaches and shops. Location could not be bettered.
Spacious villa on two floors with terraces on both the ground and first floors.
All facilities, including AC and the wonderful pool, worked very well. As an extended family we were delighted with our stay.

Bill & family - Thank you very much for staying at our house and the kind words. It makes us very happy to have such kind, thoughtful people staying there. Hope to see you back in Stari Grad.

We stayed at this amazing home with 2 families including 4 children (3, 7, 7, & 9). The home absolutely blew away any expectations we had. The views and location were perfect - short walk to all amenities. The pool + pool area were spectacular. The kids never wanted to leave to go to the beach and when we did, they were thankful to be back "home." Martina and Jodi were extremely helpful hosts, as well.
5 stars are not enough for this place!

Thank you, Joe!
You were great guests and we hope you will return to Stari Grad in the future. The pool is waiting for the kids!

My family and I had a great time in this lovely house. It was spacious, clean with a big terrace and a gorgeous view of the harbour. All amenities including restaurants, shops, info office, bakeries and a bus station were within a very short walking distance. We all loved it and will, hopefully be back!
Jodi's house is perfectly located just few steps from the harbor. It has all the equipment needed, and very practical for a larger family to stay at. We had a great time celebrating my dad's 70yr birthday!

We are the owners of this wonderful house in the beautiful town of Stari Grad and happy to be sharing it with you.
We have spent the past two years improving the house substantially for your enjoyment and are in the process of adding an incredible pool to the property.
Why they chose this property
We had been looking for a house on the island of Hvar for quite some time, and after many visits to Hvar Island we decided that Stari Grad was by far the best town, so well preserved, and away from the busy Hvar town, yet a short drive away. We've stayed in many places on Hvar and this house has the best location of any rental out there, and now with a pool, it is impossible to find.
What makes this property unique
The view of old town from the balcony is just the best thing to experience at all times of day. You can leave any noise behind when you stroll to the Villa, and who doesn't like being able to walk for a swim in the morning or a gelato in the evening. :)
To have a large pool at a house IN the village is unheard of on the island and we are thrilled that we can make this a reality!
