About this property

Pharos Stone Retreat | Historic Courtyard Cottage

The charming historic town of Stari Grad, with its excellent seafood restaurants and harbour, provides the perfect backdrop to Pharos Stone Retreat. A quintessential Dalmatian cottage, the retreat’s original stone arches open onto a gorgeous private courtyard, where the pleasures of al fresco living are irresistible.

Sensitively restored interiors connect seamlessly with the original exposed beams that root the property in its historical context, right in the heart of Hvar Island’s oldest settlement. You’re just steps away from the waterfront’s bustling restaurants, shops, cafes, and bars.

Pharos Stone Retreat is spread over two levels with the intimate courtyard at its centre, and the upper level bedrooms accessed via an external staircase.

The main entrance takes one into a welcoming open plan living area with exposed stone walls, white-painted wood-beamed ceilings, and a large wooden dining table. Behind, find the well-equipped kitchen with bespoke wooden cabinetry, fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.

The arched opening to the right leads out to the courtyard, your little oasis of peace. This gorgeous space is a convivial shaded dining area, and the perfect spot for al fresco breakfast each morning, or for sipping on an aperitif before strolling out for dinner at the nearby restaurant of your choice.

The main bathroom contains a step-in shower and washing machine, and is accessed through a separate arched entrance off the courtyard.

The first floor, accessed externally via stone steps ascending from the courtyard is home to two bright, interconnected bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, with en-suite WC. The second bedroom is accessed only through the master bedroom, and contains a further double bed.

These two bedrooms are both fitted with individual AC units and have an interconnecting door that can be locked.

The historic town of Stari Grad boasts ancient charm with its cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and scenic harbour. As one of Europe's oldest towns, it offers a rich tapestry of history, from its UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain to its charming stone houses. Visitors can wander through narrow alleys, enjoy waterfront dining, and soak up the sun on nearby beaches. With its blend of culture, beauty, and Mediterranean vibe, Stari Grad promises an unforgettable getaway for travellers seeking relaxation and exploration.
