Only those who really want a slice of true, quiet paradise will make it here. That is because La Villa Bleue is a truly secluded location in a quiet bay in Hvar island’s remote centre, accessed down a bumpy and steep 4km/2.5-mile gravel road that is steep in places. The bay is home only to a handful of houses. The combination of the gravel road and the faraway location serves to ensure the three pristine beaches of this bay stay quiet and peaceful, even during summer’s peak.

La Villa Bleue’s architecture pays homage to its historic Dalmatian roots while the selective interior design keeps it modern with high quality furnishing and a few quirky vintage pieces. Accommodation at the villa is laid out over three levels. The main entrance door is accessed via the lower dining terrace facing the sea, meaning that you’ll already be awestruck by the location before you’ve stepped into the house. The front door leads immediately into a welcoming open-plan dining room, with a well-equipped kitchen behind, off of which the rest of the accommodation flows. The bright walls, sleek ceramic flooring, and blend of contemporary and vintage touches provide a blueprint for the rest of the house.

Down a few steps is the comfortable living area, with a large, well-cushioned corner sofa and armchair looking towards a smart TV with Netflix. For those who prefer a different kind of entertainment, the living room window provides a captivating view where the sea seems so close, you begin to question whether you are in a house or on a boat.

On the other side of the dining area, a hallway leads to the first double bedroom which, like all four bedrooms, is equipped with a queen size bed and its own air conditioning. Next to the bedroom, the ground floor bathroom with a walk-in shower.

A staircase leads up to the first floor, which is entirely given over to two bedrooms, which share a bathroom. The master bedroom has direct access to the upper terrace, home to three sun loungers, and the perfect place to catch the sun’s rays while gazing out at your incredible surroundings.

The third floor of La Villa Bleue is accessed via an external staircase that leads up from the upper terrace, which can also be accessed independently from the terrace at the rear of the house. This level comprises the fourth and final bedroom, which contains a queen bed and a single bed, and is equipped with an en-suite shower room.

Exploring behind the house, you will find your complimentary two SUP boards and kayak. Up the stone staircase, there is another patio served by a traditional barbecue and a pizza oven, where you can prepare meals with fresh, local ingredients.

If you prefer not to cook on vacation, there is a farm-to-table restaurant with breathtaking sunset views in the nearby village of Zastražišće, just a 5-minute drive from the top of the gravel road.

  • A bumpy and steep 4km gravel road is required to access the villa, therefore an SUV/4x4 is advised. We can of course assist you with procuring such a rental vehicle.
  • In the bay, you will find only a handful of houses – no cafes, no shops, no bars, and no restaurants.
  • This remote location is not connected to the grid, and therefore all power comes from the villa's solar panels and back-up generator. We reimagined what off-grid can look like, so guests are welcome to (mindfully) use all of the modern amenities (AC, washing machine, dishwasher) for a maximally comfortable stay. ​This is back to nature, but at its most comfortable.
  • All of the bedrooms are equipped with AC units.
  • The villa has a private parking with space for two to three cars.
  • There is a water tank that holds the water, and there is a limit to the number of water deliveries we can have on the island per year. While there is no restrictions or limits for our guests and the house is equipped for a comfortable, well-facilitated stay, we ask that our guests are simply mindful of these resources and conscious of where the power and water comes from.
  • The secluded location doesn’t mean a loss of connectivity – La Villa Bleue is equipped with Starlink internet.

  • The support of our island-based team to help you choose your perfect villa
  • Local support on hand to throughout your stay, with 24/7 availability.
  • The expertise of our dedicated local concierge to assist you with trip logistics and to plan a range of Experiences and in-villa services.
  • A detailed guidebook to your villa and the surrounding area, including our restaurant recommendations, must-sees, and our curated Experiences.
  • Exclusive access to the villa, the grounds, and the amenities.
  • Croatian VAT, tourist taxes, electricity, gas, wifi, linen, and towels.
  • Baby cot and high chair (provided upon request at no extra cost).
  • Final cleaning (fee specified if applicable). Additional housekeeping may be provided on request with surcharge.

The Area

La Villa Bleue is situated in Medvidina Bay, at the end of a 4km winding gravel track, between the inland villages of Gdinj and Zastražišće.

Zastražišće is a small village situated in the rural eastern part of Hvar Island, and remains a hidden gem cherished by those seeking a retreat from the bustling tourist spots. The village, enveloped by rolling fields of lavender and ancient olive groves, epitomises rural Mediterranean charm. Despite its diminuitive size, Zastražišće is home to essential amenities including a minimart and a farm-to-table restaurant.Accessible by car from both Stari Grad and Sućuraj, Zastražišće promises a scenic drive through rugged landscapes, though the journey from Sućuraj includes narrow roads that demand careful navigation. Plans for a modern highway in the future may alter this rustic charm, making current road conditions a unique part of the experience. For maritime enthusiasts, arriving by boat offers an enchanting alternative. Pokrivenik Cove and Vela Stiniva provide serene anchorages and picturesque surroundings, framed by limestone cliffs and quaint seaside taverns.

Zastražišće is a haven for nature lovers and epicures alike. Its landscape, rich with olive groves, is home to Croatia’s oldest olive tree, dating back 2,500 years, reflecting the region’s deep-rooted agricultural traditions. Visitors can indulge in tastings at Seca, a modern olive oil tasting room, or explore botanical delights at Grgo Lučić’s lavender farm, renowned for its pure essential oils. Culinary experiences are equally enchanting, with local eateries like Kod Kućera offering panoramic views and authentic Dalmatian cuisine, and Fish Restaurant Veprionva in a neighbouring bay providing a one-of-a-kind experience.The village’s coastal splendor extends to its numerous pristine beaches, ranging from secluded coves accessible only by boat to scenic spots like Medvidina and Vela Stiniva. Each beach allows its visitors to unwind in nature’s untamed, untouched beauty – making Zastražišće a haven for sun-seekers and adventurers seeking respite.

Guest reviews for La Villa Bleue

“Can’t say enough great things about our stay! We had an amazing, relaxing week - the pictures don’t do justice for how beautiful this place really is! One of the best experiences. Matt and Elisha were super responsive and so helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed leading up to our trip. Their communication and preparation made our experience feel personalized and also took the stress out of planning a holiday.“

Dana P, USA, June 2024

“Matt & Elisha were super knowledgeable and very friendly. Matt came by every now and then to ask if everything is okay. The location is great for people like us who appreciate peace and quiet. The house is super clean, everything is available and the sea was crystal clear. Thank you for the good care of Matt and Elisha.“

Markus P, Austria, June 2024

“It’s the first time I’ve been to Hvar and I have to say… This beach house is placed so well that by just looking at the photo you feel like it’s paradise. There is a private beach right next to the house and other ones are just a minute away. I’ve had the best experience with the kayak, sailing to other beaches. The sea is clean so it was great for our little one. The house is new, seems modern on the inside while maintaining the traditional look on the outside. I highly recommend spending at least a week there because there is so much to do. Elisha and Matt were nice and helpful.”

Ladislav B, Czech Republic, August 2023

“We had a wonderful week in this lovely house. The standard is high and the place and the house are exactly as the pictures describe. Fantastic cleaning and perfect service from Elisha and Matt who were available whenever we needed them. The area around the house consists of fantastic nature and crystal clear water. We give this place our best recommendations. We have already booked the house for our next holiday.”

Christina H, Norway, July 2023

“This setting is simply heaven! Elisha and Matt were superb hosts from Hvar Away. I can highly recommend them! The villa is very clean and is perfectly located for those who like an off the beaten track secluded luxury holiday! The gravel road is not bad at all, just take it slow and soak in the views! Ask Elisha for the best secret spots to visit and eat at! Yes we will be back!”

Heath B, South Africa, June 2023

“This house in located in such a special place, we spent a week as in heaven. The house is very comfortable, super clean and nothing was missing. I really and sincerly recommend anyone that need a nice break to stay in La Villa Bleue. Every one can do what he wants: relax and sunbath on the top terrace or have a nap in the shadow of the other terrace. A magical stay.”

Clem N, France, June 2023

“Elisha & Matt did everything to make us feel comfortable as best. Supermarket is far away but Matt brought all what we asked by. Antun offered us the last day a very delicious dinner with a tasty Grappa and a wonderful house wine. All over it was one of our most relaxing vacation week, even it is a remote area. We will sure come again.”

Uhland K, Austria, June 2023

“This is by far my favorite Airbnb, the photos can not describe this place, one of the few places that look better than the actual photos. Getting here is a bit of a challenge, but that was part of the journey we enjoyed. Loved the road to the villa. Elisha was a great host. Loved her vibe...Elisha, if you ever start a YouTube channel, let me know. I would love to follow you and your life journey.”

Gundeep S, India, June 2023

“An amazing place, with both Matt & Elisha being gracious hosts - taking great care of us. Will be visiting again!”

André V.T, Netherlands, October 2022

“Amazing stay. Matt went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and amazing. The house was well kept, amazing views, secluded beach, class A host, we paid a little extra for the boat that we took out to watch the sunset. Everything about this space is as advertised unlike other places. Only thing I’d recommend for future bookings is defintely get some groceries as it’s a bit of a trip to go to nearest supermarket. All in all - amazing stay, thank you!”

Kreshnik M, USA, September 2022

“Truly magical piece of paradise. I’ve been fortunate to travel around the globe and stay in some special spots. This place is at the top of the list for sure. Don’t book this place if you’re thinking you want to spend time in Hvar town or doing a lot of sightseeing. Definitely book this place if you want to get off the grid and really unwind and relax in natural beauty and essentially your own private bay with only a couple of neighbors and daytime visitors. We spent our days out on the provided SUPs, kayak and snorkelling. We ate grilled fish, lamb and veggies next door every night at Antun’s Konoba. I would show up with plenty of groceries for your stay as the long gravel road doesn’t lend itself for quick trips to the market. Matt and Elisha were very helpful and even went to the market for us a couple times as our rental car wasn’t well suited for the road. I’d highly recommend renting an SUV or something a bit high off the ground to make the drive easier. I would return to this place in a heartbeat. Truly special spot.”

Elyssa D, USA, August 2021

“Great villa, great hosts, little paradise. The blue villa is the ideal villa to completely unwind. It is beautifully situated in an almost private bay, which makes every day a treat. It is really beautiful. Inside and outside. The villa has 2 terraces so during the day you have options for sun and shadow. There is also a nice bbq area behind the villa. To our pleasant surprise there were also 2 sup-boards and a conoe. Matt and Elisha are great and professional hosts that really help you in every way they can. Tips, boat reservations etc. The week before out arrival we received a professional ‘welcome guide to the villa’ with all the necessary information about the villa, things to do in the neighborhood etc. Definitely a villa we will visit again.”

Stephan V.E, Netherlands, July 2021

Island Experiences

No visit to Hvar is complete without dedicating some time to pure enjoyment on the Adriatic. Cruise in luxury aboard a private mini yacht, rent your own boat for leisurely exploration, or dive right in with snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, or scuba diving.

Indulging in Hvar’s vibrant culinary scene is not to be missed. From in-villa chefs to private cooking lessons, to olive oil tastings and hilltop farm-to-table dinners overlooking the sunset, our array of gastronomic experiences invites you to savour the taste of the island's cuisine.

Adrenaline enthusiasts need look no further. Few adventures are as thrilling as rock climbing up the south side’s limestone cliffs, cycling through rugged black pine forest up to Hvar’s highest point, or quad bike touring through the island’s labyrinth of hidden gravel roads.

Despite storied history dating back millennia, Hvar's wines remain a rarity outside of Croatia. Winemaking is an intrinsic part of life here, just as it is throughout the Mediterranean. Enjoy tasting experiences in the winemaker’s company, where passion and authenticity converge in every sip.

Our in-villa wellness specialists offer a host of holistic treatments including massage, reflexology, and sound therapy. Restore balance with private yoga sessions on your terrace, or keep fit whilst on holiday under the guidance of our personal trainer with bespoke fitness sessions.

Time goes by, but the essence of Hvar’s rich past still lingers. The in-depth knowledge of our expert guides brings life to the island’s historic old towns, quaint fishing villages, and UNESCO heritage sites, ensuring a truly immersive exploration of its past.
