Lovely little place in a great location
Vrboska is a great place to base yourself for a week. We found the Villa to be very comfortable (lovely beds) and also nice and cool with the help of the air conditioners. The house is well-equipped too. The house is better located than the map suggests, being just north of the estuary and only a few minutes walk into the heart of this charming town. Bozana lives just around the corner and she was a great help - just get her number and you can message her via WhatsApp. The owner, Sue, was extremely helpful in the run up to our stay. Recommended: hire some bikes. The routes to Jelsa on the south side and Soline on the north side are both perfect for cycling and the scenery is breath-taking, particularly early morning. We also cycled to Stari Grad early one morning in the hope of getting some fresh fish but the fish market wasn't open. This was still a worthwhile trip though, taking in the tomato and pepper crops and even a small airfield. Jesla is best for fish and there is a primary fish market but also a secondary one where the guy will clean and gut your fish for you. Go to Hvar town, where you will be able to take a trip to the Pakleni Islands. If you have time, walk around the town. The view from the Fort is spectacular. Bozana will arrange a taxi for you (300HRK) or there is a bus for about HRK45 each. Go to the Bay of Olives, which is a fraction under 10 minutes to walk. The water there is gorgeous for swimming. Finally, try the Ajvar - this is a bell pepper paste that goes very well with pretty much everything. We loved Hvar and will go back one day. In hindsight we got lucky - Vrboska is a perfect place to base yourself. It doesn't quite have the architectural beauty of Jelsa or Hvar but it doesn't feel too toursity either and it has a real charm to it. Getting there is easy enough although the ferry journey does make the journey that little bit longer. The ferry from Split takes two hours (to either Stari Grad or Hvar - SG is better as it's closer to Vrboska). We had to get the catamaran on the way back which goes from Hvar and costs more (HRK130 rather than HRK55) and only takes just over an hour.

Lovely stay
This was our 5th visit staying at Sue’s property and once again very enjoyable. The property is very well appointed with all the facilities we needed. Sue has added extra capabilities and is keeping the property up to date with new windows, bug screens etc Vrboska is lovely with a number of very good restaurants and the friendliness of the locals and staff in the shops and restaurants is a joy. Already thinking of our next visit.

Lovely house in peaceful location
Very easy to book, and Sue always responded quickly. Bozana was extremely helpful when we arrived and gave us recommendations of bike rentals and restaurants. The area is beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sue King

Host profile image
My husband and I bought Vila Karobel 18 years ago and our delight in the place has never diminished. To us it is our sanctuary - a place where we can relax, unwind and really be ourselves. Vrboska is a wonderful place and the local people, our neighbours and friends, have made us so welcome, a real home from home. We stay in the villa twice a year in spring and autumn as do our children and grandchildren but are happy for other people to share our home at other times and enjoy the place for themselves. The rest of the year we live in Cheltenham, UK.

Why they chose this property

The island of Hvar has the best sunshine hours in the eastern Mediterranean. The island was voted one of the 10 most beautiful islands in the world by Traveller magazine and Vrboska is one of its gems. The island not having its own airport means that it is not a victim of mass tourism.

What makes this property unique

The villa was designed 40 years ago by an architect from Zagreb for her own use as a holiday home. The design is simple but it works so well! Similar care was given to the layout of the garden which offers both sun and shade with pretty planting of Mediterranean plants and trees. Being on a quiet road yet only a few minutes walk from the town centre Vila Karobel has the best of all worlds.
