On the island of Hvar, surrounded by the scents of lavender and rosemary, this charming stone villa offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful sea views from its swimming pool. Set within an estate of lavender fields, cypress, fig and olive trees, the house dates back to the early 20th century and was once used by local workers seeking shade or warmth. Built from the same grey stone as the nearby village of Humac, it sits quietly within unspoilt natural surroundings where traditional cultivation still thrives.

Inside, the villa blends modern comfort with rustic character, featuring a mix of antique furnishings, exposed stone walls and wooden beams. The living space is welcoming and relaxed, while the kitchen is well equipped and complemented by a barbecue in the courtyard. The bedrooms are individually styled, with two en-suite rooms in the main house and two more located just across a stone path. Daily housekeeping is included, with the option to arrange a private chef for part of your stay.

Outside, the grounds are designed for enjoying the landscape, with a swimming pool overlooking the sea, shaded lounge areas and an alfresco dining terrace. There’s also a tennis court, while hiking, cycling and horse-riding can be found nearby. The historic village of Humac is just 3.5km away, and the beaches of Zavala and lively Jelsa offer further opportunities to explore this beautiful island.

What Oliver loves...

  • Set on a 30,000m2 estate of lavender and rosemary fields with beautiful fig and olive trees
  • Amazing sea-views from the glorious swimming pool
  • Lovely family activities in the grounds such as tennis, basketball and bocce
  • Only 3.5km to Humac, a hamlet dating back to the 13th century which still doesn't have electricity - dine by candlelight in the village konoba, be sure to book in advance!

What you should know

  • A 4x4 vehicle is needed to reach this idyllic villa, the tracks to get to it are uneven and rocky. 
  • Two of the bedrooms, including the twin, are in little stone houses just across from the main villa.
  • The upstairs of the main house is accessed via stone steps outside.
  • Its a great place for slightly older kids or babies but the rocky gardens and external steps means it's not so suitable for toddlers.
  • The tennis court is accessed by walking along a low-level rocky wall.
