Villa Haven

Villa Details

OVERVIEW

The villa consists of a two bedroom farmhouse and two small barns, with one double bedroom each. The three units are within a few meters of each other. The courtyard of the villa is paved with old local stone, which is aesthetically very pleasing. From the villa and its grounds there is a really amazing view over the vineyards of Hvar and the beautiful Adriatic sea. The villa is sensitively restored and decorated with a tasteful panel of Mediterranean colours, with windows and terraces orientating towards the best views.

The villa is in a remote location reached by an unsurfaced but easily driven road. The villa is powered by solar energy with a back up generator with ample power to operate all electical appliances. The villa does not have airconditioning but is in an elevated position where a gentle breeze keeps the house cool. The bedrooms have fans.  

This villa is set in the lavender fields of Hvar with breathtaking views across the Adriatic and provides a truly unique and authentic experience.
