Situated on the grand Croatian island of Hvar, Villa Hortus rests 100 meters above sea level beneath a rugged cliff. This impressive setting provides a 180-degree view of the breathtaking Adriatic coastline and the surrounding Pakleni Islands. Surrounding this exclusive luxury home is a large garden full of lemon, palm, and pine trees, lending both shade and beauty to the villa’s guests. 

​

Of all the islands in the Adriatic Sea, Hvar boasts the most hours of sunlight, making Villa Hortus an even more desirable vacation destination. The villa’s enviable location at the end of a dead-end road ensures privacy and quiet, and a pebble beach with crystal-clear water is a five-minute walk from this secluded property.

​

With seven double bedrooms and seven bathrooms, this spacious rental sleeps 14. Indoor furnishings are modern and plush, allowing for optimum comfort. Outdoors, guests can take in panoramic sea views while breakfasting on one of the six private terraces throughout the villa.

​

Luxurious sun beds and lounge chairs rest under wide umbrellas on the villa’s adjoining stone patio. Spacious and heated, the rectangular infinity pool is ideal for swimming laps or simply taking in dazzling views of the sea and tree-covered isles. 

​

Prime amenities in this villa include modern conveniences like satellite LCD TVs in each bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen for guests who enjoy playing chef. The main outdoor terrace overlooking the sea offers ample seating and tables for a first-rate al fresco dining experience. 

​

A villa manager lives on-site in a separate villa and is available should guests need directions, sightseeing recommendations, or to arrange an in-villa dining experience featuring food prepared by a private chef in the property’s professional kitchen. 

​

This luxury villa sits within walking distance of some of Hvar’s top-quality restaurants, bars, and shops. In summertime, yachts fill this port town’s busy harbor, and guests can take advantage of EliteLyfe’s premier concierge service, which includes luxury yacht rentals and yacht charters for touring the surrounding wooded islands. 

​

Villa Hortus is located roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) from the nearest airport at Split, Croatia. 

​

With its tucked away, cliffside location, standout amenities, and proximity to all the excitement of Hvar, Villa Hortus is a luxury holiday getaway to remember.
