Apartments Darinka Lupi: Stone House with Vineyard View

I used to spend many of my summer holidays in Stari Grad but it's a long time since my last visit. This year I decided to go there again and I felt quite excited about visiting the island after all these years. It was obvious that I was going to stay in the house of Darinka and Vinko Lupi again. I made a contact with their son Nikola asking about the apartment. Fortunately it was still available for the period of time that I wanted to stay.

They rent two apartments: one for 2-4 people and another for 7 people, both situated in the first floor. Our apartment had a big kitchen with a living room, bedroom, bathroom and a terrace. In the living room was a big sofa bed so each of us had her own room for sleeping, which was good. The apartment was fully equipped, with satellite TV and even a washing machine. For two people it was 30 euros (June 2010).

When we opened the fridge we found a pleasant surprise! Beside the big bottle of cold water there was one with their home-made wine, a nice welcome for us :) From our apartment there were magnificent views, of the old town on one side and of the vineyards on the other.

Unique Quality: The house is quite big and it's made of stone. At the back there is a place to put chairs and a table, a big vegetable and herbs garden, and a vineyard. In the basement is a wine cellar; they make their own wine and rakija (very strong alcoholic beverage made of fermented fruits). I also liked the idea of outdoor kitchen which they use during summer.

Darinka, Vinko and Nikola are some of the friendliest people I've met! They helped us to find best quality local products that we wanted to buy and take with us, from wine and olive oil to anchovies, goat cheese and lavender honey. Several times Darinka brought us lunch - she's a real master of pasta dishes - and we could always take vegetables and herbs from the garden. In the evening, when Vinko left to work and Nikola out with his girlfriend or friends, we sometimes had long conversations with Darinka, always accompanied with wine. The atmosphere was very homely, and one more time, I would like to thank them all to make our holidays truly memorable :)

Just-mir: Vrboska's oldest house

Built in 1573, a ruin for more than 200 years until it was lovingly restored by an artist, this old stone house right in the heart of Vrboska was our home for the time we were on Hvar.

With three bedrooms and a bathroom on the middle floor, it sleeps six people but as the living spaces are quite small it's probably more suited to just three or four. The well-equipped kitchen is shared with the owner who lives on the ground floor. There's a small, sunny elevated terrace at the front of the house and a tiny back area with a barbecue. Guests have their own entrance through this area.

The house is just a few yards from the main waterside area of the town where you'll find shops and restaurants. The town's most famous landmark - the great fortified church of St Mary - is also very near. Parking is available in the church square. Access to the square is via a turnoff on the way into the town centre - a route to be taken with great care as you negotiate the narrow space between the house walls.

Unique Quality: We loved the simple charm of this old house, so sympathetically brought back to life. The house is not airconditioned, there's no television and the amenities are basic but the owner is delightful and the house oozes character - we're certainly intending to return.

private home: How its done

Don't stay in a commie era hotel! Just get on the hydrofoil in Split. When you get to the dock in Hvar town, plenty of people will meet you at the boat with rooms to rent. We rented a whole floor in a house, with a little kitchen and bath for a great price, one block off the bay, right near where the hydrofoil comes in, around $63 night (I probably overpaid at that, but bought both rooms for the privacy). It had a rooftop terrace where you could sit at night and ennjoy the sights, you could see the bay and the fort. It's a little scarry to go that far out without accomodation, but I wouldn't do it again any other way, it's the only way to go to Croatia. Of course, YOU CAN'T CHARGE ANYTHING IN CROATIA anyway, so have plenty of cash in your account!

Unique Quality: Great views, good deal.

Capnovak Apartments: great view of the harbor....

Decided to rent an apartment this time for my visit to Hvar. A adequately furnished 1 bedroom apartment - the couch in the living room folded out to a bed thus my friend and I could have separate sleeping areas. Great view. The one draw back - lots of stairs if you took the most direct path from the square to the apartment. A more round about way was less strenous but more convoluted.

Private accomodation: Sobe

Hvar has a long tradition for tourism, and as everywhere on the Adriatic coast, private accomodation is very common. Some of the letters are very active; we were shanghaied on the ferry from Split! The letter called her husband from the ferry and ordered him to meet us in Stari Grad, but she herself had to go by bus, since she had shanghaied a finnish / swedish couple too, thus there was not room for her in the car :-)

I would not say it is risky to accept an offer like this, fooling us would be bad for their business. But it is wise only to agree to take a look at the place, and not make a decision until you know what you get.

Unique Quality: We got a big room with a balcony and a view of the ocean on the first floor ( second floor in norwegian and american), sharing two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen with two other rooms. Walking distance to downtown Hvar was 10 - 15 minutes.

Private room: Nela private accomadation

Very nice room and outside patio with views of the sea.

15 minute walk from town, uphill on the way back.

Decided to leave early as wanted to travel to Korcula and was charged the two nights we booked but did not stay. This was despite giving 48 hours notice and being in August when the room would have been very easily filled.

renting a room

It's easy finding an accomodation at Hvar. If you haven't booked accomodation earlier of across Internet, you can always find it in a harbour. When you exit the boat, there's lots of people there offering rooms and apartmens. Me and my friend rented a room for 100 kunas a person (about 14 euros) and it was almost in the centre of city.

Unique Quality: It has a little balcony, part of a terrace, a fridge and a coffie machine. Nothing fancy, only the neccesary things.

Private accommodation: Excellent room

After arriving to Hvar town we managed to bump into a young lady on the main square. She had a room for rent and we decided to have a look. Once again (as in Dubrovnik) we were very lucky. The room was very very nice & also just one block from the main square.

This young couple (Teja & Tonci) that owned the room also offered scooters, bikes & boats for hire at a low price, so eventually we went for the scooter.

Unique Quality: Very nice modern room with a big breeze availible (recommended during nighttime).

The couple was very helpful and nice, and the price for the room (200 Kn per night for a doubleroom) was extremely cheap!
