Villa City Hvar — Heritage Living on the Waterfront
This professionally managed luxury villa is overseen by a professional local team, ensuring a seamless stay with no uncertainties. Guests enjoy the privacy of a private home combined with hotel-level reliability, supported by one dedicated point of contact from arrival to departure. From the outset, guests benefit from consistent quality standards and an accurate listing that reflects the villa’s historic character, location, and level of care.
A fully managed private villa ensuring smooth coordination, privacy, and peace of mind for group stays, Villa City Hvar is positioned in the historic heart of Hvar Town, directly overlooking the Riva promenade and harbor. From its stone Baroque balcony, the villa captures open views of the waterfront, where yachts and sailing boats line the quay, while Fortica Fortress rises above the town and the Pakleni Islands frame the horizon. Everything unfolds just beyond the doorstep, yet the villa itself remains a composed private residence.
A Protected Baroque Residence
Originally constructed in 1612 during the Baroque period, Villa City Hvar reflects centuries of Venetian influence along the Adriatic coast. The property is officially protected by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments and remains preserved as a heritage monument. Formerly owned by the Stalio and Marchi families—among the oldest recorded families in Hvar—the villa carries historical significance that shapes both its architecture and atmosphere.
Between 2007 and 2009, the villa, together with its Gothic pool house and garden, underwent a comprehensive renovation carried out in strict accordance with conservation guidelines. The result is a rare balance between preserved historic fabric and modern comfort, allowing guests to stay within a landmark property without compromising everyday functionality.
Interior Spaces and Shared Living
Inside, the villa blends traditional stonework and period proportions with contemporary systems designed for comfort and reliability. The living areas are arranged to support shared time together, whether for relaxed evenings or structured meals after a day in town. A fully equipped kitchen allows for private dining, while a wine cellar adds a discreet space for tastings or quieter moments away from the main living areas.
Throughout the villa, modern infrastructure supports the historic shell, including reliable Wi-Fi and climate control, ensuring the property functions as a professionally managed villa rather than a museum setting. Daily cleaning is included, reinforcing the sense of order and dependable upkeep expected from a reliable, professionally maintained property.
Bedrooms with Historic Outlooks
Villa City Hvar accommodates up to ten guests across five en-suite bedrooms, each oriented toward the medieval stone streets or the seafront. The master bedroom features a super king-size bed, a bathtub, a tropical shower with underfloor heating, and views that extend from the harbor to the historic lanes below.
The remaining bedrooms are arranged with super king or king-size beds, some configurable as twins, making the layout adaptable for different group compositions. Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and widescreen HD television, maintaining consistent standards across the villa while preserving the sense of place through original architectural details.
Wellness Features and Outdoor Areas
Despite its central location, the villa includes a private garden and pool area, offering a quiet counterpoint to the activity of the harbor. A heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna provide space for relaxation throughout the day and evening. These amenities are integrated into the historic setting without dominating it, allowing guests to unwind while remaining connected to the character of the property.
Location, Operations, and Peace of Mind
Located directly on Hvar’s Riva, the villa allows guests to explore the town on foot, with restaurants, cafés, beaches, and boat excursions all within immediate reach. Electricity, water, and gas are included, and the villa operates as a non-smoking property. Pets are not permitted, supporting consistent maintenance and standards.
Throughout the stay, a local team is available to assist as needed, ensuring communication remains clear and expectations are met. The villa is presented as an accurate listing with verified features and photographs, reinforcing confidence from booking through departure.
