Villa Pharos

Nestled on the island of Hvar, in a valley surrounded by greenery and dramatic rocky cliffs, is the unique villa Pharos, sleeping eight guests. True to the area's heritage, this villa is a maze of stone walls and multiple layers of rooms reflecting the cascade terrain it resides in. The villa's rustic charm can be seen from the outside. Light blue shutters frame the windows with authentic stone walls.

On the main terrace, a sun deck with a pergola surrounded by comfortable sunbeds looks out over the valley. A private pool is on the same level, so you can cool off while admiring the idyllic landscape. Sheltered under a wicker roof, the outdoor dining table overlooks the landscape. Enjoy dining while a wood fire barbeque blazes behind you, making this stay even more authentic.

The interior merges modern and traditional details, creating a calming home away from home. The kitchen is light and full of essential modern appliances. A second beautiful indoor dining room adjoins the kitchen with direct access to the outside. The table with two long wooden benches on either side creates an authentic and unique dining experience. Connected through a doorway from the kitchen, the lounge is tucked away in the property. Emerald velvet green chairs add warmth to the room, matching the long floor to ceiling curtains; a cosy space for when the evenings draw in.

Submerse yourself into relaxation with an indoor jacuzzi and sauna adding a note of luxury to the villa. Bring your heart rate back up in your private gym. With the sea so close you can include sea swimming in your daily exercise.

Spiral staircases and hidden passages lead you to the upper floors' bedrooms and adjoining ensuites. Open stone walls continue in every room. With beams above you and comfortable double beds below, it will be easy to get a good night's sleep. Each room has a flat-screen tv plus plenty of storage and space to settle into. The ensuites have the luxury of modern features and walk-in showers but are in keeping with traditional-looking fixtures.

The main bathroom in the villa has a dual sink and a rounded top bath to soak up the day's adventure. Towels and toiletries are supplied, plus bathrobes and slippers! Some bedrooms have access to hidden terraces with a table and chairs to enjoy a quiet moment.

At night is when this villa glows. Subtle lighting illuminates all the hidden stairways and seating areas so you can continue enjoying this rustic villa under the soft glow and in the company of the valley.
