Accommodation at Villa Dvor Ardito is set over three floors. Original features abound throughout the property, including exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, restored ceramic stone flooring, and the gorgeous living room fireplace.
To arrive at Villa Dvor Ardito, you must first enter the Mediterranean-style stone courtyard that connects the villa with his three Dvor siblings: Villa Dvor Nicolo, Villa Dvor Marietta, and Villa Dvor Giovanni. Upon entering the courtyard, even before reaching the villa, one is immediately struck by the feeling that this is a very special place indeed. Young locals have renovated these centuries-old stone houses and revived their former glory, but the storied history is almost palpable.
The entrance to Villa Dvor Ardito is on the left side of the courtyard, and opens immediately into a voluminous, well-equipped kitchen and dining area. To one side is the staircase that leads to the first floor, which comprises a living room with two comfortable sofas and an HD home cinema, and two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is also ensuite, and contains two single trundle (pull out) beds, so is ideal for up to four children sharing together.
The staircase from the living room leads to the villa’s second floor containing the largest principal bedroom, complete with a super king bed, a full bathroom with a tub, and the balcony terrace upon which you can gaze out across the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.
Outside on the ground level, the dining terrace is an excellent area for al fresco dining, sheltered by a wooden awning, and offering a beautiful view across the verdant landscape. A staircase from here leads down to the pool area, surrounded by sun loungers and olive trees. Beyond the pool terrace, step out into the extensive vegetable garden full of organic Mediterranean plants and produce, and feel free to help yourself!

- The pool is open seasonally from May 1st to October 31st.
- The pool is not heated, therefore may be extremely refreshing at the beginning and end of the season.
- Villa Dvor Ardito is the next door neighbour of the smaller Villa Dvor Nicolo (also with a private pool) and Villa Dvor Marietta, and the larger Villa Dvor Giovanni (also with private pool). So if you are a larger group of guests, then there is the possibility to rent any or all of Villas Dvor in any configuration. The most popular groupings are Ardito, Nicolo, and Marietta together as Villas Dvor Trio; or all four villas together as Villas Dvor Quattro.
- Note that construction noise is illegal in this region of Croatia from 1st June – 30th September. If you book outside of this time, i.e. in May or October, there is the possibility of construction noise impacting your stay.
- Restaurants and other establishments mentioned are subject to seasonal availability. Opening and closing dates are determined by the businesses themselves and may vary. Some venues may be closed outside the peak summer season. Please contact us for specific opening times of the local village amenities.
- As with all residential areas on Hvar Island, quiet hours are from 1pm to 4pm, and 10pm to 8am. No music is to be played outside during these hours.
The Area
Villa Dvor Ardito is situated in the heart of Pitve village, one of Hvar's oldest settlements and considered by many as the most picturesque.
Pitve is a picturesque hamlet positioned at the foot of the dramatic hills that separate it from the sea. It is one of the oldest hamlets on the island, established to watch over the settlements and fields below from its incredible vantage point. Shaded by the rim of the island’s ridgeline, Pitve stays much greener than the rest of Hvar and enjoys a breath of cool mountain air, even in the peak of summer. This historic town is perfectly preserved. There is no new construction here, just beautifully restored stone houses in a setting that would suit a Mediterranean fairy tale.
Today, Pitve attracts travellers who appreciate quiet, generous space and easy access to both nature and the coast without being right in the midst of the action. Hiking trails start directly from the village edge, cycling routes wind through nearby fields, and both the northern and southern side beaches lie just a short drive away. To reach some of the finest beaches on Hvar, simply pass through the Pitve-Zavala tunnel – an experience that feels like a small adventure in its own right. Pitve works best for guests who want to slow down and experience Hvar from its interior, away from more popular hubs, yet still not far away from anything.
