After almost 5 years of planning and construction, my purpose-built holiday house on wonderful Hvar island is almost finished. It has been designed and built by an expert team. Construction will complete mid-April 2024, with furniture installed in May 2024. I have had it carefully designed to be perfect for extended families and groups of friends. It is easy and beautiful walk to the lovely, ancient town of Stari Grad, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has a great range of places to eat and drink and things to do. It is easily accessible to all Hvar's attractions.  I promise you a holiday you will never forget. 
This is the official website and definitely the best place to book. Prices here are at least 10% cheaper than anywhere else, with no hidden charges.  
I am always happy to answer questions and normally reply quickly. 
With best wishes in planning a memorable Croatian holiday.

Nine Olives Hvar

There are so many things to love!

The house itself has been very thoughtfully designed. The shared spaces, like the lounge, kitchen and outdoor terraces are designed perfectly to allow people to gather, relax, eat, drink and watch the sun go down. The lounge in particular is a wonderful view point, with huge windows which can open fully to let in the sea breezes. It's one of the loveliest social spaces we have seen!

The bedrooms meanwhile provide a comfortable, quiet and spacious environment for a great night's sleep.

The pool is heated (if heating is needed) and is big enough for a proper swim, which is a bonus.

From the house, its just a couple of minute's walk down to the sea and a big, safe swimming area, perfect for a morning swim. There is also a beach bar right next to it, but sadly this had just closed for the season by the time we were there.

The walk into Stari Grad town, with lots of restaurants and bars, takes about 10 or 15 minutes and follows a lovely traffic free path alongside the water.

On our way home we decided to treat ourselves to a water taxi which took us from the port in front of the house straight to Split airport - a perfect way to finish a delightful holiday.

Fantastic holiday

We came with our kids and another family - is a perfect space to share! The kids loved the pool and there was plenty of space both inside and out for eating and socialising. The beach was a5 minute walk with amazing sunsets, and there were loads of fab restaurants for adults and kids in stari grad, which was an easy walk. A perfect trip away for all the family!

Fabulous spacious house

Our week at Nine Olives was wonderful. It is a very comfortable and spacious house with everything needed to enjoy our time there. Lovely views across the bay, our own pool, plenty of patio and seating, and a short walk to both a beach and into Stari Grad. We had a car so could explore different coves on the island - often a short walk down a path from the parking area - some with restaurants, some not. The alternative would be a taxi boat from Stari Grad but the car gave us flexibility. 
Stari Grad and the island of Hvar are beautiful and I would highly recommend Nine Olives as the perfect retreat or base for your adventures.

Spacious house in stunning location

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Nine Olives Hvar as a party of two families, comprising eight guests with children from 12-18yrs. The house itself is wonderfully spacious and its position on the edge of Stari Grad makes for delightful morning swims in the nearby cove and charming evening strolls into the town. The house has been designed and fitted to a high standard. The many terraces and seating areas around the property afford beautiful sea views and sunsets, as well as shaded spaces for relaxing, dining and hanging out poolside. We hired cars from Split airport, which enabled us to explore numerous remote bays around the island, as well as visiting the stunning waterfalls at Krka National Park on the mainland. Nine Olives is a fantastic house and base from which to explore Hvar and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful stay in delightful Stari Grad

We stayed as a group of two families for the last week in July 24. From the start of the booking process all of the communication with the owner was first rate. Quick and complete responses for all our queries and additional helpful information. When the timing of our incoming flights to Spit looked to be a bit tight for the fast ferry he helped us to organise a private transfer via speedboat which was great. The villa itself was idea for purposes the four main individual bedrooms (all with en-suite) were set up for us as two doubles and two twins which was a nice touch. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and very classy with fitted mirror wardrobes, double sinks and great showers. The pool shower in the garden was excellent also. The location of the villa is ideal, a few minutes drive from the ferry port (1km) and a pleasant 10 minute stroll to the heart of the town, which was full of nice restaurants and had a great bar. The living accommodation in the villa was great with exceptionally well equipped and brand new kitchen and very comfortable dining and sitting areas as well as two terraces with a perfect sunset view. We will most certainly try to return.
