Villa CR5255

Surrounded by the Mediterranean. Totally unwind in this beautiful, rural, idyllic setting!

Sitiated on a vast estate surrounded by lavender fields, cypress, fig and olive trees, the stone house was originally used as a place of respite for the workers in the surrounding fields.

Built at the beginning of the 20th century using the same grey stone as the nearby village of Humac, it sits peacefully amongst stunning natural surroundings where olive oil, herbs and spices have been cultivated for years.

The interiors are delightful, with a mixture of modern and antique furnishings.

The villa is on the island of Hvar. With rustic charm and immense character, surrounded by 30,000m2 of fields of lavender, rosemary and olive and fig trees it is a rural idyll with stunning sea-views from the wonderful pool and terraces.

The nearest village is Humac (3km), a sixteeth century hamlet without electricity set upon a hilltop on this remote and beautiful part of the island.

Just further south you will find Zavala (7km) with a further choice of restaurants serving excellent local cuisine, beautiful pebble beaches with crystal clear waters and a range of watersports.

From here you can take a boat trip to the small and tranquil island of Sćedro from the little harbour. Drive a little further to the abandoned village of Gromin Dolac for more stunning beaches.

Heading north to Jelsa (14km), you can enjoy fresh fish and local wine in a decent choice of tavernas and restaurants plus a supermarket and further facilities. It is a great base for exploring this part of the island. You can walk or cycle through the dense pine forests, discover pretty beaches and coves or take boat excursions a little further afield. There are numerous walking tours that start from Jelsa and various trekking paths across the island.

The island of Hvar is yours to discover, whether it is wine-tasting in local vineyards, kayaking at sun-set along the coast, cycling across the countryside or exploring the villages and towns on the island.

Stari-Grad (20km), one of the main ports for arrivals from Split, was founded by the Greeks in 400 BC and is the oldest settlement on the island. Nearby you will find Stari Grad Plain, a cultural landscape dating back from the Greeks in the 4th century BC, now a UNESCO heritage site.

Or head to the glitz and glamour of Hvar Town (42km) which has recently gained a reputation as one of Croatia’s trendiest destinations.
You’ll feel at home in the spacious living area, and the kitchen has everything you need. There is also a fantastic barbecue in the courtyard.

The pretty bedrooms are all uniquley styled, with traditional features, exposed stone walls and wood beamed ceilings.
