Notes from the host
Villa Vito
Villa Vito is situated at the beginning of the western slope of Veli dolac cove and vale, located between villigies of Milna and Zoraće, 4 kilometers from Hvar and 10 kilometers from the ferry port and shopping center in Stari Grad. Veli dolac cove is a new microdestination near the town of Hvar where are only three houses and one small restaurant at see shore. At the bottom of the bay is a lovely beach of white, rounded pebbles. To the west of the beach, all the way to the village of Milna, there is a rocky shoreline, also a place where many tourists find a completely secluded place to enjoy the sea and the sun without any disruption..Olive orchards are dominant in the valley, and on the slopes of grove Mediterranean bushes, like wild olive, spruce, rosemary and bearberry.
Villa Vito uniquely blends the authenticity and tradition of the Mediterranean with modern, urban details, which at points veer towards hipsterism. Orienteted to the wide horizon, the experience of the vastness of the open sea and the sky is the most powerful sensation offered by Villa Vito. Almost alone in the cove, just a hundred meters from the beach, and only 10 minutes drive from Hvar offers the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: peace of lonely coves in the valley and on the side crowds of parties, clubs and restaurants in the town of Hvar, Enjoy.
In numbers, villa looks like this – the living room, kitchen, and ground floor toilet cover 35m2, the first-floor room with the bathroom and toilet also covers 35m2, whereas the attic spreads over 25m2 with a bathroom and a toilet. Along with the western facade, there is a patio spreading over 25m2, with a fireplace, a wood-fired oven, a summer kitchenette, and a table with five chairs. The area also has a pool the size of 25m2.
In front of the house, there is a large front yard covering 80m2 with a pergola on stone and wooden pillars. On the eastern side, there is a stone bench covered with pillows and with two low-lying tables, which is also the lounge area of the yard. At the center of the yard, you’ll find a massive table with 6 chairs. The yard with a view of the open sea reminds us of a moving ship. Adjacent to the yard, you’ll see the olive grove, where you’ll also find deck chairs.
On the ground floor of the house, you’ll find a brick kitchen with a fireplace, an olive-wood table with chairs, a sofa that can extend to a bed the size of 160 x 200 cm, an LCD TV with satellite programs, and a stereo mini HI-FI. The ground floor also has a toilet. The fireplace is the center of a wood-fired central heating system which is important for guests who is coming out of the summer season.
The stairs are leading to the first floor, where you’ll find a room the size of 30m3, with a matrimonial bed (180 x 200 cm), two chairs and table, an LCD TV with satellite programs, and a bathroom.
The staircase continues to the attic, where you’ll find a room the size of 25m2 with a matrimonial bed (180x200 cm), two chairs and table, an LCD TV with satellite programs, and a bathroom.
The house is remote and not connected to the electricity network and electricity and hot water are obtained from solar panels.
All rooms and the ground floor face the south, and the views from each corner are simply divine. If you’re lucky, in bad weather you can see low clouds along the Monte Gargano on the Italian side of the Adriatic. You’ll otherwise witness endless blue: equally divine but different day in day out.
Around the house you’ll find the olive grove covering 2000 m2. Most of it stretches along the eastern part of the road that leads to the house. It also has a garden pavilion equipped as a self-standing apartment. Large glass walls are striking, and allow the guests to enjoy the view of the old olive grove terraces. In the shade of the trees you’ll see a table with two chairs, probably the best morning coffee spot in the entire cove.
The garden pavilion covers 15m2 and stands out with interesting architecture and imposing glass walls. It is entirely open towards the olive grove, and the idea was to have a space where you’ll enjoy the paradigm of the Mediterranean surrounding – an olive grove on terraces built on drystone walls. The pavilion has a bathroom, a small kitchen with a fridge, and a sofa with a table. It also has a matrimonial bed (160 x 200 cm) in the gallery, and it is for rent together with the main house as the third, separate room of the accomadation.
