Perched high with views on the sun-drenched island of Hvar, Croatia, Villa Ember is an exquisite five-bedroom retreat promising an unforgettable escape for up to 10 guests. This elegant sanctuary is an exquisite fusion of modern design and traditional charm.
Stepping into Villa Ember, guests are greeted by a spacious living area made airy and luminous by floods of natural light streaming in through panoramic windows looking out onto the bay. With plush sofas, a warming fireplace and a soft palette of neutral tones, this space sets an elegant tone for the entire villa.
The open-plan design effortlessly transitions into the fully-equipped kitchen, where culinary enthusiasts will have no trouble tossing together a summer salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends. Adorned with top-of-the-line appliances and ample counter space, it’s a chef’s dream.
On the ground floor, you’ll also find the master bedroom, which boasts a king-sized bed and ensuite, including a walk-in shower and a stone bathtub. Ascending the staircase reveals four more well-appointed bedrooms with tastefully sleek wooden furnishings. Two of these rooms are doubles with king-sized beds and ensuites, while the others feature twin single beds. All upper-floor rooms come complete with their own balcony.
Venturing outside to the expansive terrace, guests will find an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the Croatian sunshine. The infinity pool beckons for a refreshing dip, surrounded by lush Mediterranean greenery, creating a serene private oasis. There is also a Finish sauna and a private gym to enjoy.
Villa Ember’s unparalleled comforts and prime location on the enchanting island of Hvar make it an ideal haven for those seeking an unforgettable retreat in the heart of the Adriatic.
Given Villa Ember’s captivating sea views, it’s no surprise its location is only a short distance (7-minute walk) from the beach. And despite the villa’s secluded position on a pristine hillside, local amenities are not far away, including a supermarket (6-minute walk) and ferry terminal (7-minute walk).
The stunning old town of Stari Grad (5-minute drive) is close at hand. Renowned as one of the oldest towns in Europe (first settled by Greeks in 384 BC), Stari Grad sits at the end of the long, protected bay over which Villa Ember looks. This picturesque town of white-stone streets, marble pathways and blooming bougainvillaea make it a peaceful port of call for daily adventures to beaches, shops, cafes, restaurants and ancient sights. Don’t miss the Stari Grad Museum set in the neo-renaissance Bianchini Palace, where the remains of a Roman shipwreck can be seen.
Stari Grad was also home to the Croatian Renaissance poet Petar Hektorovic, who built a well-preserved fortified residence as protection against attack by the Ottoman Navy. The residence includes a sea-water fish pond lined by vaulted arcades and a walled garden.
If a bit of vivacity and nightlife is what you’re looking for, look no further than Hvar Town (a 20-minute drive) and don’t forget to pass through the famous Hvar Lavender Fields on your way. Try Hvar’s signature dish of Gregada – a stew of fish, potatoes, onions, garlic and olive oil – perhaps best sampled at Giaxa.
