Part II

Last week we presented the first 10 of our top 20 awe-inspiring properties all around Hvar. We chose those because of their design, their story, overall apearance, amenities they offer, location, but mostly their look and feel. They are more than just properties for rent - they are places with a distinct soul, and in most of those we would like to spend a better part of the year ourselves.

So, here is the second part of our top 20 villa selection, together with a reason why. Music is added to the mix, since we just love music, and feel that it is sometimes most accurate in representing how a certain space feels like. We introduced this musical pairing last year, and we plan to use it in the future. Because sometimes, words fail us, pictures don't do us justice, but music always manages to express the unimaginable.

THE BEST IN LOVABILITY

Villa Nyx

There once was a lady so fair but lonely in her lovely stone house with walls so perfectly suited for free climbing, and windows large enough to let a hipster prince through. And happen it did one night. The hipster couple lived happily ever after in a pool with a jacuzzi and a view of the Hvar fortress.

THE BEST IN VIBE

Villas Moirae L, B and U

Once upon a time, there were three goddesses, with lovely, pleasant, even hedonistic destinies. All three fell in love with the town of Stari Grad and built themselves a surprisingly beautiful place to relax about 2 kilometers from the town, a place where they and their guests could stimulate all their senses. This is the story of Moirae L, U and B.

Location: Stari Grad

THE BEST IN STARVIEW

Villa Prometheus

If we were to choose our favorites, Prometheus would surely be shortlisted. The first reason is of aesthetic nature – contemporary architecture, minimalist interiors, and design details. Another reason would be the location – we love the sun and pebble beaches, the peace of small towns, and the vibrant energy of the south. Prometheus has it all.

Location: Sveta Nedelja

Room for: 6

THE BEST IN JOIE DE VIVRE

Villa Nereus

A gentleman with a refined sense of charm and joie de vivre once came to our island. He fell hopelessly in love with the town of Hvar and decided to buy a house by the sea that will become a wonderful fusion of the French Riviera and Dalmatian dreams, an ode to the modern Mediterranean.

THE BEST IN CHARM

Cottage Nesoi

From time to time we have the special pleasure of including a property specific for its location in the Villas Hvar collection. You will hardly find a property for rent on Hvar island that is CLOSER to the sea than cottage Nesoi. It is so close to it that it might as well be a boat…

THE BEST IN LAZYNESS

Villa Hera

Hera positioned herself at the heights of the island where she enjoys marvelous sea views from her stone terraces surrounded by the shades of the magical color spectrum and fragrances that exist only in heaven and on Hvar. Everyone is in love with Hera, but beautiful Hera is in love with Zaraće.

THE BEST IN EXCITEMENT

Villa Chaos

Chaos is one of the best pieces of news in 2018, exciting on the inside as well as on the outside. It bears the name Chaos for a reason – it reminds us of "the nothingness that all else sprung from" and a god who filled the gap between Heaven and Earth. An extraordinary place to stay at indeed.

Location: Hvar

Room for: 6
