Villa City Hvar

Baroque Elegance in the Heart of Hvar Town

Steeped in centuries of history and perched just above the lively waterfront, this remarkable villa offers one of the most iconic vantage points in Hvar. From its original 17th-century stone balcony, guests enjoy uninterrupted views of the Riva’s palm-lined esplanade, the sparkling harbour, and the stately yachts moored just metres away. Overlooking it all is Fortica—the island’s historic fortress—framing the skyline alongside the scattered Pakleni islands.

A Legacy Rooted in Venetian Influence

Built in 1612, during a period when Venetian aesthetics flourished along the Adriatic, the villa is a proud testament to Hvar’s layered past. Originally owned by the respected Stalio and Marchi families—both central figures in the island’s aristocratic history—it reflects baroque architectural principles with details that have been carefully preserved.

Heritage Meets Contemporary Restoration

Between 2007 and 2009, the entire estate—including a striking Gothic-style pool house and enclosed garden—underwent a meticulous restoration in accordance with the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments. This thoughtful approach ensures the villa retains its historical character while offering modern comfort.

Unmatched Access to Island Life

With the Riva below, guests are immersed in Hvar’s vibrant rhythm from a serene, elevated setting. The restaurants, galleries, and boutiques of the old town are steps away, yet the villa’s thick stone walls and landscaped garden create a retreat-like atmosphere. Whether watching the yachts glide into the harbour or enjoying an evening beneath the fortress lights, this residence offers a rare blend of cultural immersion and private grandeur.
