Villa Cora provides you with 280 square meters of living space, comprising two stories and a wine cellar. There are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, three of them suites.

Hvar, the island in Adriatic Sea, is the longest and the sunniest Croatian island and one of the most beautiful islands in the world. The island Hvar is famous for its pleasant Mediterranean climate.

Friendly people, well-indented coast, numerous picturesque and intact beaches and bays, virgin nature, very rich historical and cultural inheritance, the scents of lavender, olive trees and wine are the reasons that island Hvar welcomes more and more tourists each year.

Vrboska is situated in a long, picturesque and shady bay whose shores are connected by three tiny Venetian-like stone bridges that give the place an indescribable charm and warmth. Vrboska consists of two parts: Podve which is a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque houses lined up along the shore and Pjaca with churches, narrow streets, remnants of Municipal Loggia and houses with Renaissance and Gothic details. Because both sides are connected by a small stone bridge it carries the name “Mala Venecija” (Little Venice). Surrounded by thick pine forests, with its small bridges, paved streets, Renaissance and Gothic style houses on both sides of the bay together with a very small island within the bay is a sight that will leave few indifferent.
