Villa Reginetta Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Nestled on the hills above the charming, sleepy village on Gromin Dolac, Villa Reginetta allows you to get away from it all, to enjoy the smells of dense pine forests, to listen to the songs of crickets and birds and to enjoy the fabulous sea views and sunsets from your very own idyllic retreat. Surrounded by the calm beauty of nature, this characterful villa has been beautifully restored to offer contemporary, luxurious comfort and appeal. With 3 gorgeous bedrooms, Villa Reginetta sleeps 6 guests very comfortably though there is an extra single bed and a sofa bed that you could use to increase the numbers.
Gromin Dolac is located on the south coast of Hvar, just along from the village of Zavala, 12km from Jelsa and 40km from Hvar Town. The village features delightful stone houses, some dating back to the 17th century and originally built as strongholds against pirates and some beautiful coves below the village. Villa Reginetta is just 200 metres from the beach.
The restoration of Villa Reginetta is very impressive. The living space is open plan with a contemporary, glossy blue kitchen, a lovely dining area and a lounge area with a large television. Modern doors open to a fabulous terrace with a gorgeous alfresco lounge area, alfresco dining and a high bistro table and stools. The views are magnificent. Though the interior of the villa is lovely, you will definitely be spending most of your time outside. You can enjoy pre-dinner drinks watching the sky change into varying shades of pink, orange and purple at sunset. The terrace leads round to the fabulous swimming pool and sun deck. The whole area is very attractive with beautiful stone walls and floors, deluxe sun loungers and the most incredible views. Further away from this terrace, you will find the built-in barbecue and another, covered rustic alfresco dining area. It is utterly charming with a terracotta floor, a pitched wooden roof and fabulous planting all around. The whole plot is brimming with ancient olive trees and mature plants. You can easily find a quiet terrace to enjoy your holiday read in peace.
On the lower level of the villa, you have some treats in store with a sauna and a very well-equipped gym. One of the double bedrooms is located on the main living floor with a double bed and space for the single. The remaining two havens are upstairs enjoying pretty vaulted, beamed ceilings and stunning views. The brilliant white walls are decorated with attractive art. Both bedrooms boast fabulous double beds. The villa enjoys three exquisite, contemporary bathrooms, all with top notch showers and gorgeous tiles.
Villa Reginetta is a fabulous blend of charming rusticity meeting contemporary design to magical effect. You cannot go wrong here!The beautiful island of Hvar enjoys two parts, the fashionable, high octane, party part centred around the town of Hvar and the historical, nature part located on the slopes of the Stari Grad Plain called Hora or Ager.
The sleepy, tranquil village of Gromin Dolac is located east of the village of Zavala, approximately 100 metres above sea level. It is a pretty village with authentic architecture and much greenery. The village is a delightful blend of stone houses surrounding an imposing tower, a fragrant blend of Mediterranean herbs and trees and pretty pebbled beaches surrounded by crystal clear sea. Just above Gromin Dolac is the ancient Grapceva cave with its two chambers and beautiful stalagmites and stalactites.
For shopping, the best place to go is Jelsa. Zavala does have a few bars, cafes, restaurants and basic shops but Jelsa is much bigger. Jelsa is the tourist center on the north shore of the island. With its fragrant dense pine forest, wonderful sandy beaches, numerous vineyards, historic cultural landmarks and good range of shops and gourmet restaurants, Jelsa a fabulous place to visit. Vitarnja Beach is a delightful, beautiful cove near Jelsa.
Hvar Town is roughly 45 minutes away in the car. It is the vibrant heart of Hvar Island. Its riva esplanade and harbour is totally captivating. Hvar has gained a reputation as one of Croatia’s trendiest destinations with the town itself becoming a celebrity hot-spot. Visitors flock to the town in the summer, visiting the beaches by day and partying into the night. The town also enjoys many historic buildings including its wondrous medieval castle above the town, its 15th century monastery and its baroque cathedral. There are some lovely unique shops where you can buy souvenirs.
The UNESCO Heritage site of Stari Grad Plain, a cultural landscape dating back to the 4th century BC is perfect for cycling, smelling the magnificent lavender fields, enjoying the countryside landscapes and exploring the quaint, charming villages.
