INSIDE
Accommodation at Villa Lapis is spread over two floors. The outstanding contemporary design has been conceived to make the very most of the enchanting sea views and sunsets. Walls of sliding glass doors pull back to unite the indoor and outdoor areas in a seamless flow, and light floods in, tempered by gentle sea breezes. Quality fixtures, fittings and furnishings complement the architectural aesthetics and add to the overall feeling of laidback luxury and understated glamour.
The main entrance leads straight into the heart of the home, a generously proportioned open-concept communal space that is filled with light and a sensation of well-being. On the left, serving a dining table behind, is a sleek, well-equipped contemporary kitchen complete with a coffee machine, an ice maker, oven, microwave, oven, and wine refrigerator. The stylishly furnished living zone next to the dining area is replete with only the best tech: a 55” Samsung QLED TV, a Playstation 4, Starlink wifi, and an integrated sound system with Bowers & Wilkins speakers.
Two walls of fully extendible sliding glass doors open up to allow a frictionless flow out onto the terrace that runs along the entire façade of the villa, while at the same time bringing in the bewitching views of the Stari Grad Bay.
A staircase leads from near the living area, past the downstairs bathroom, up to the first floor, which is home to Lapis's sleeping quarters. The master bedroom features a king bed, a smart TV, and an en-suite bathroom with bathtub. The two secondary bedrooms boast glorious views out to sea, are also equipped with smart TVs, and share a dual-sink shower room. The first floor is also home to the integrated infrared sauna.
The staircase continues up to connect the first floor to the panoramic roof terrace, of which more below.
OUTSIDE
The main terrace runs along the entire façade of Villa Lapis, accessed directly from the open-plan communal area, and offers numerous possibilities for al fresco living. Loungers and beanbags envelop the splendid centre piece: the 29 square metre heatable pool from which swimmers may take in the glorious views out to sea.
Villa Lapis sits in grounds of 600 square metres that merge with the surrounding Dalmatian countryside. No matter where you are, the wonderful views of the Stari Grad Bay, with its sparkling blue waters and its hilly pine-forested shoreline are always present. On all sides, the gardens are delimited by handmade dry stone walls, providing a full sense of seclusion and privacy.
Finally, as mentioned above, the top floor of the villa is home to the well-shaded panoramic roof terrace from where the vistas are magical, not least in the early evening as the sun sets into the sea. This terrace is equipped with a Napoleon gas barbecue, a dining table for six, an outdoor Samsung TV, an independent sound system, and a bar, making it the perfect spot for long, lazy, sea-view lunches and convivial dinners under the stars.

The Area
Villa Lapis is the last property in Selca, an almost-abandoned hamlet that sits in a wonderfully panoramic position above the Stari Grad bay, and just a 5-minute drive from the town of Stari Grad.
Stari Grad is the oldest town on Hvar and one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe, founded by Greek colonists from Paros in 384 BC. Set deep within a sheltered bay on the island’s northern side, Stari Grad has long been shaped by agriculture, trade, and fishing. Its compact historic core is a tangle of narrow stone streets, small squares, and understated palazzos that reflect centuries of layered history, from Greek and Roman foundations to Venetian influences. Stari Grad has the relaxed air of a place that is comfortably lived-in, with a quiet confidence born from centuries of continuity. Everyday life carries on alongside the history here – market stalls set up beneath Renaissance façades, locals chatting over coffee in squares laid out by ancient Greeks – as if residing in a 2,400-year- old town is simply the norm.
This ancient town is an ideal base for exploring both culture and landscape. A UNESCO-listed heritage site, the Stari Grad Plain, begins just outside town, offering flat walking and cycling routes through vineyards, olive groves, and ancient dry-stone walls. Beaches such as Maslinica, Lanterna, and Bonj are within walking distance with many more in the underrated Stari Grad peninsula within reach by taxi boats. The town’s dining scene favours substance over spectacle, with family-run konobas and fish restaurants passed down over generations. Stari Grad is located next to the ferry port, making arrivals from Split that bit more straightforward.
