The Villa, with its beautifully appointed accommodation, has an unrivalled view and position, located only minutes from beaches and the town main square. You have the feeling of living in a house due to the large indoor and outdoor spaces and your own private entrance.
Villa Marchi, built in 1873 and restored in July 2016, is set in terraced gardens of lemon and orange trees, with beautiful cobbled- stone steps leading down to an eye-catching iron gateway and directly to the sea.
Built for a trader in Japanese artefacts and designed by reputable architect Nikola Marchi, it originally contained a theatre and a large collection of oriental art. So significant was its reputation as “the most beautiful villa in Hvar” that it was visited by the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef I in 1875. Today, the villa is divided into three parts and we are offering a remarkable first-floor apartment with a Romeo and Juliet balcony, views across the harbour and islands, private terraced gardens with seating areas, also a summer kitchen ideal for preparing al fresco meals and refreshments. In addition, on the ground floor is a separate apartment of 60m² with Its own direct access to private gardens.
Entered through the wrought iron gates the pebbled stone steps lead you past several terraced garden areas until you reach a stone column portico. The main door to the Villa with its intricate engravings leads into a spacious stone floor communal hall with stone stairs and an intricate elaborate wrought-iron balustrade taking you to the first floor.
The outside area is an important addition to any accommodation, and the garden has been designed in order to maximise the eating and living space. There are several relaxation areas on various terraces and also in the meditation room, which is a lovely stone building that has been restored in exposed stone and wood. There is also a summer kitchen which is ideal for preparation of food for those outside al fresco meals.
Apart from the beautifully appointed accommodation, Villa Marchi has an unrivalled position, being located, only minutes from the nearest beach, and also within 5 minutes of Hvar town main square! Pretty much everything is on your doorstep, from the catamarans to Split to taxi boats, to cafe bars and restaurants.
