Location
About the surrounding area of Villa IrmaSurrounded by verdant vineyards and romantic olive groves, with dreamlike vistas of the sea, Villa Irma is the perfect place for anyone who is drawn to the idea of a peaceful island escape. Overlooking a honey-coloured courtyard in the picturesque village of Pitve, the villa’s romantic location will have guests feeling as though they have stepped back in time. The laidback pace of life on Hvar is truly spellbinding, leaving visitors eager to return to the island time and time again.
After a few days spent lounging by your own private pool and dining in Pitve’s excellent restaurants, you may wish to venture slightly further afield to soak up some of Hvar’s rich culture and heritage. The island offers visitors a treasure trove of beautiful beaches, from the turquoise waters of Pokonji Dol to Dubovica’s beautiful bay. Malo Zarace’s crystal-clear waters are perfect for a sunset swim, while Mina is a secluded sandy haven only a fifteen-minute walk from Jelsa. For those who fancy a day of island hopping, a visit to the Pakleni Islands is a magical experience. Pack a picnic and hire your own boat for the day, making your way to hidden coves and bright blue lagoons. Alternatively, you can join any number of boat tours departing from Hvar town’s main harbour.
If you decide to spend a morning in Hvar town, almost any of the pretty side streets will eventually lead you to Dalmatia’s oldest square, St. Stephen’s Square. Home to beautiful Venetian and Renaissance architecture, including the imposing St. Stephen’s Cathedral, this vibrant square in the town centre is the ideal place to enjoy a cup of coffee as you watch the world go by.
History enthusiasts will adore a trip to Hvar town’s historic fortress, overlooking the old town and the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Originally constructed at the beginning of the 13th century, the fortress was reconstructed in 1579. Today, it is home to a small museum with an impressive collection of historical artefacts discovered around the island. The panoramic views from the top of the fortress are truly spectacular.
On the island’s northern coastline, Stari Grad is one of the oldest towns in Europe, located only a twelve-minute drive away from Villa Irma. Encompassing ancient winding streets, quaint laneways filled with flowers and plenty of Mediterranean charm, the town is the perfect place to visit for a quiet afternoon spent wandering along the promenade, followed by a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. The blooming gardens at Tvrdalj Castle are enchanting, while a trip to the Stari Grad Museum is sure to fascinate visitors, with archaeological collections dating back six thousand years.
The UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain is home to a wealth of excellent wineries. You can also visit vineyards and intimate wine cellars in Jelsa, such as Vina Tomić and the Duboković Winery. There are gastronomic tours available around the island, offering visitors the opportunity to sample a wide variety of fantastic wines, often paired with traditional delicacies such as exquisite local olive oil.

Best Suited For: All AgesYounger visitors to Villa Irma will be delighted by the property’s large swimming pool and magical surroundings.

The island’s shimmering Adriatic coastline offers a seemingly endless array of well-maintained pebble beaches to discover. Perfect for families, Mina is a sandy beach with a shallow cove, making it a great place for children to paddle and swim safely. You may also wish to spend the afternoon snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters of Dubovica. Hvar town is the ideal spot for those who are after a day of watersports, with stand-up paddleboarding, sea kayaking and sailing excursions all on offer. Tours of the magical Pakleni Islands offer diving experiences in beautiful lagoons, where you can witness the colours of the underwater world.
Kids will be enchanted by the lively streets of Hvar town, where the whole family can enjoy the charming sights of St. Stephen’s Square in the sunshine before a visit to the nearest ice cream shop. The walk up to the town’s hilltop fortress is challenging but enjoyable, involving a series of steps before you pass the old town’s historic walls, reaching a path through the pine trees to the top. You can also take a taxi all the way, via the road. Once you reach the fortress, kids will love running around and exploring its nooks and crannies, including cannon lookout points and an old prison, while the panoramic views will appeal to visitors of all ages.
There is plenty of hiking to be done around Hvar, with family-friendly trails taking in coastal gems, rolling hills and beautiful lavender fields. Pack a picnic and spend the day exploring on foot, or hire bikes and make your way to scenic seaside viewpoints. After you have returned to Villa Irma for a relaxing sunset swim, enjoy a family dinner on the terrace before the stars come out. Everyone will be sure to sleep soundly after another day of fun and adventure!
