Historic House Hvar Town – A Gothic Gem in the Old Town
Hidden amongst the beautiful stone streets of Hvar’s historic centre, this wonderfully individual Hvar Town house combines centuries of architectural character with a stylish and comfortable interior. For anyone searching for an authentic home in the Old Town, it offers something genuinely different.
Arranged over five floors, essentially with one principal room on each level, the house has the intriguing vertical layout typical of Hvar’s oldest properties. Inside, exposed beams, stone details and carefully chosen furnishings create a relaxed Mediterranean feel, while the accommodation includes two double bedrooms, comfortable living space and a charming attic study beneath the eaves.
The house is particularly notable for its beautiful historic stonework. Several windows incorporate highly decorative Gothic-style carved stone surrounds, including an especially striking double opening which provides a wonderful reminder of the building’s architectural heritage. Other original details and stone niches appear throughout the property, giving each floor its own character.
Perhaps its most unusual feature lies at the lower level, where an original stone water well has been incorporated into the house. Now forming an atmospheric stone chamber, it makes a wonderfully characterful wine cellar and is precisely the sort of unexpected feature that makes historic houses such as this so appealing.
The location is equally captivating. Set within one of Hvar Town’s oldest pedestrian quarters, the house is surrounded by handsome stone buildings, tiny squares and narrow lanes that have changed remarkably little over the centuries. Artisan shops, galleries and some of Hvar’s best restaurants are close at hand, while the Pjaca, harbour and waterfront are only a short stroll away.
Beautifully presented and immediately usable, this is a house with a strong sense of place: intimate, historic and full of personality, offering the opportunity to own a particularly distinctive home in the very heart of Hvar. Its combination of architectural detail, imaginative interiors and exceptional Old Town setting makes it a rare and memorable property with an atmosphere entirely of its own.
