INSIDE

Accommodation at Villa Fulmin is arranged over four floors, including an attic. The main entrance is up an exterior stone staircase that leads to the first floor. On this level you will find the luminous open-plan living and dining area. The emerald sofa and armchair complement the long, flowing curtains of the same rich colour, with the rustic styling providing an instant pleasing ambience. To the left is a well-equipped countrystyle kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, oven, and large fridge.

A spiral staircase leads up to the second floor to the main deluxe bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom comprising both a shower and a bathtub, double sinks, and a bidet. Across the hall, a corridor connects the lovely suite to another kitchen and dining area. This kitchen is styled even more rustically, containing some antique pieces and an original brick barbecue, and is set next to a solid wood dining table for 8 people.

The spiral staircase continues to lead up the final attic level, which houses two more bedrooms. Each is equipped with a queen size bed, an ensuite shower room, and an additional sofa bed that can be used for groups of 7 or 8.

Villa Fulmin is completed by its ground floor, which is reserved only for relaxing and rejuvenating purposes. The converted stable contains an infrared sauna, a hot tub, some gym equipment, and another full bathroom. These fabulous spa facilities provide the perfect finish to a day at Villa Fulmin.

OUTSIDE

In addition to the interconnecting staircase inside, each floor at Villa Fulmin has a separate entrance from the outside. Dotted around these entrances you will find small breakfast terraces with tables for two, allowing each couple a little private space, if you so desire.

Guests spend most of their waking hours on the expansive stone terrace that extends southwards from the house, which is home to the alfresco dining area with impressive stone table and barbecue grill, and the splendid heatable pool. Sun loungers flank the pool offering the perfect spot to relax and take in the wonderful views. Under the pool terrace, step out into the extensive vegetable garden full of organic Mediterranean plants and produce, and feel free to help yourself!

For more context on this otherworldly location, Villa Fulmin is situated in the abandoned ethnovillage of Malo Grablje and its location offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Surrounded by houses that have been abandoned since 1950, you are in your own secluded world, in total privacy in your retreat tucked in between the cliffs. What we love most about this location is that, despite the feeling of complete remoteness, you are only one kilometre – that’s not even a 5-minute drive – from the stunning beaches of nearby Milna, and only a 10-minute drive from Hvar Town with all of its restaurants, cafes, and bars.

And that’s not all! Villa Fulmin may be the only living house in the abandoned village, but there is also one living restaurant. Konoba Stori Komin is within walking distance of Villa Fulmin and serves a small menu of delicious traditional meals. This location is the true definition of the best of both worlds.

The Area

Villa Fulmin is the only living house in Malo Grablje, an abandoned ehtnovillage whose last residents departed by 1950 in search of a life away from argiculture.

Malo Grablje lies hidden in the hills a few kilometres east of Hvar Town. Once a thriving rural community built around lavender cultivation, olive growing, and small-scale agriculture, Malo Grablje was gradually abandoned in the mid-20th century as residents moved towards the coast and abroad. Today, its roofless stone houses, overgrown courtyards, and collapsed terraces tell a quiet story of island life shaped by hard work and isolation. Wandering through the village, it is easy to imagine daily routines that once unfolded here, now reclaimed by nature and silence.

Despite its abandoned status, Malo Grablje is far from lifeless. A carefully restored konoba (local restaurant) has brought measured revival to the village, offering food and wine in a setting that respects its original character. The area is also a popular destination for hikers, with trails linking Malo Grablje to Velo Grablje, Milna, and the southern slopes of the island. Views from the surrounding paths stretch across vineyards, hills, and out towards the sea, rewarding the effort it takes to reach this secluded spot. Malo Grablje is best experienced slowly, as a place to pause, explore, and appreciate a side of Hvar that has remained untouched by modern tourism.

Jeanna S.Stayed July 2024

We loved staying at this beautiful house! It is a short drive to Hvar town, and we really loved being close but not in the tourist hustle and bustle of town. The house is beautifully surrounded by nature and an abandoned town that is fun to explore. The pool and outdoor space were wonderful, and the…

Lewis J.Stayed June 2024

This Villa was absolutely stunning! 5 of us stayed in this villa for 5 days. The location was perfect, away from any busy roads or places, yet only a short 10 minute drive to the old town of Hvar. We could not recommend this Villa highly enough, everything was 10/10!

Stacy M.Stayed June 2024

Outstanding stay!! The Villa’s history, location, amenities, and hosts were exceptional. We feel so lucky to have discovered this gem. Book this home if you have the opportunity. I hope to return.

This is one of the best villa we have ever stayed in. The view is breathtaking and the facilities in the villa are second to none. We would definitely visit again and recommend this to anyone.

Anna C.Stayed August 2023

A true escape. Gorgeous villa located in an abandoned village. If you’re looking for peaceful stay, it has a nice pool, lounge area, cozy indoor space and multiple dining areas. There is a resident cat, who isn’t a bother, and they ask that you either feed her daily or allow them to come to do so.…

Sarah E.Stayed July 2023

We had an amazing stay at this villa… it’s very private with no other houses around but only a short drive to Hvar town (10min). Our host was always available 24/7 and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would stay again & recommend to anyone planning to visit Hvar.

Karen L.Stayed July 2023

Emma E.Stayed May 2023

The villa is located in a very peaceful and beautiful abandoned village. When the weather turned, we enjoyed the great spa facilities. We cooked some nights at the villa and the kitchen was fully functional. One night we had a “takeaway” delivered by the hosts. Overall, they could not have been more…
