Hvar Away Reviews 

We spent a week at Luma Hvar and it was absolutely one of the nicest stays. It’s calm, quiet, and the sea view from the house is picturesque.

The house itself is beautiful, calm, exactly what you want when what you’re after is a real rest. Honestly, every comfort you could need is there. We were a mix of generations, grandparents and a toddler included, and the house worked for all of us without any fuss or compromise.

A special mention for Marina, who manages the villa. She’s kind, polite, always available, always with a smile - she’s a big part of what made the stay so lovely.

I’d recommend this place with my eyes closed. We already miss it a little and we know we’ll be back - to this house again or another one from Hvar Away.

Words cannot convey how incredible Villa Verde and the entire team at Hvar Away are. From the very beginning, Elisha was absolutely amazing. Her communication was thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly helpful, and she went above and beyond to help us plan every detail of our stay. From transportation and restaurant recommendations to activities, scheduling, and all the little questions along the way, she made the entire experience feel effortless. We arrived feeling completely taken care of before the trip had even begun.

Our mornings with Daisy preparing a wonderful breakfast were such a treat, and Richard was an exceptional villa manager who made sure we had everything we needed and were having the best possible time.

The photos truly do not do this villa justice. For our group of eight women, it was perfect, with five spacious bedrooms, en suite bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, and gorgeous sweeping views. Every detail felt thoughtful, comfortable, and luxurious.

We truly did not want to leave. Villa Verde exceeded every expectation, and the care from Elisha and the Hvar Away team made the experience even more special. We will absolutely be back!

I wish I could rate even higher than 5/5! We stayed at the Villa Anabel and hosted a small elopement ceremony. The villa was absolutely GORGEOUS, so spacious and clean, the view was the best we've ever seen. Our stay was better than we could've ever imagined. Our hosts, Karmen and Elisha, were amazing and so accommodating. Elisha booked us a private chef for one night and we would absolutely recommend doing that- it was the best meal we had our entire trip, and everything was completely taken care of. The villa is only 5–10-minute walk into town and the hosts will schedule taxis to take care of luggage when needed. We will definitely be booking through Hvar Away again and are so thankful for our experience here.

I’ve incorporated those points naturally into the review:

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Villa Verde on Hvar and would happily give it 5/5.

The property itself is exceptional. The views are stunning, and the villa’s layout and setup are impeccable. Everything is thoughtfully designed and maintained to a very high standard, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Hvar.

A special mention must go to Richard and Daisy, who took incredible care of us throughout our stay. They were attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were fully stocked and had everything we needed at all times. Elisha was particularly helpful, providing excellent local advice and recommendations that really enhanced our experience on the island. The entire team was always available whenever we needed assistance and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The rooms were extremely comfortable, with spacious king-size beds throughout. Breakfast each morning was excellent, and the BBQ organised by the team was a real highlight of the trip.

The location is also ideal. It’s an easy walk into the town centre and nearby bars, while still feeling peaceful and private. The pontoon is very close to the villa as well, making private taxi boat drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient.

Hvar is a beautiful island, and Villa Verde feels perfectly suited to its surroundings. From the service and amenities to the location and views, every aspect exceeded our expectations.

Overall, a truly outstanding stay and an easy 5/5 recommendation. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend Villa Verde to anyone visiting Hvar.

We enjoyed a three night stay with our family of five at Villa Pelagos. The house was great…very clean and spacious. The location is great with about a 15 minute downhill walk into town. We loved the entire experience.
We had excellent communication from Elisha before our stay and from Marina during our stay. We had some event bookings through Hvar Away and everything went smoothly. Hvar is such a beautiful island and Villa Pelagos is a beautiful home.

Perfect service before ( grocery and activity booking)., during the stay ( new towels , cleaning)

Very nice villa just a bit to far.

I will recommend Hvar Away 100%.

We had a 5 star stay at St George court. The level of services is premium, you have nothing to think about, they take care of everything. The sea view of the villa was unreal. We did a boat tour with Hvar Away and highly recommend too. I would recommend them if you had to do anything in Hvar for a fantastic experience.

Our experience with Hvar Away was fantastic from start to finish. The service and support we received before and during our stay were excellent. During the booking process, Elisha was always just a message away and incredibly responsive, making everything easy and stress-free. Once we arrived, Marina took wonderful care of us throughout our stay and was always available to help with anything we needed.

Everything was seamlessly arranged for us, from taxi reservations to the villa and even dinner recommendations on the first day, making our trip completely stress-free.

One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the boat tour recommended and arranged by Hvar Away. It was a must-do experience and something we’ll remember for a long time.

Luma Hvar was simply beautiful, so peaceful, relaxing, and perfectly located right in front of the sea. The villa is only a minute’s walk from one of the most stunning beaches, with crystal-clear turquoise water that looked like something out of a postcard.

We would definitely recommend Hvar Away to anyone planning a visit to Hvar. Beyond the beautiful accommodation and exceptional service, we loved meeting and interacting with the locals, which made the experience even more special.

One thing to note is that we visited during the low season, which we personally loved because it was incredibly peaceful and relaxing.
We enjoyed our time so much that we would absolutely love to come back to Hvar in the future.

We recently stayed at two villas on Hvar, Luce di Mare and Luma Hvar. Both were ideally located right on the beautiful seafront in Ivan Dolic, and very well-equipped. They thought of everything! The support we received from Elisha at Hvar Away, before and during our stay, was excellent. This was our first holiday in Hvar, and we we plan on returning.

Elisha & the team were great hosts and very professional. Leading up to our trip, Elisha provided us with tips, a list of activities and car arrangements to make our trip extra smooth. It went a long way with such a big group!

The villa itself was beautiful and comfortable. The location was great and right in the middle of town and walkable to the beach, port and local restaurants! We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

We had an incredible family vacation at Villa Azzurro with my adult daughter & boyfriend and my 88-90 year old parents. It was 5 stars throughout. Elisha was super responsive and expertly coordinated our trip; reserving the villa, booking our rental car, arranging our arrival transportation and planned a spectacular Blue Cave & Vis Island private boat tour. The villa itself was beyond gorgeous, we only wished we could have stayed longer. Richard and the onsite team took such good care of us, from the welcome on arrival, the pre-stocked fridge of requested items, beautifully prepared breakfast each day, housekeeping and laundry. We certainly felt very spoilt and if we are lucky enough to visit beautiful Croatia again, will definitely book with Hvar Away.

I book the villa Estelle for the bachelorette party of my sister and everything was perfect! The house, the facilities and the kindness of Elisha. Thank you to her to be a wonderful host and to help me to plan everything

We recently returned from a holiday in Croatia, specificly the city of Split and the island of Hvar.
We had the help and guidance of Hvar Away and Elisha. The home(Villa Verde) and the service was outstanding. Elisha had everything planned from taxi service, restaurant reservations, boat tours, were spot on! It's also great to wake up to coffee made and breakfast served by our new dear friend Mimi!
The additional help and servicefrom Richard the house manager was also much appreciated. He took care of daily details which made for a stress free holiday. Highest recomendations!

Hvar Away was amazing at helping us coordinate an amazing trip! We utilized Elisha and her team to reserve the most amazing boat day (Simon and the Pelagosa), a night at the villa with private chef which was our best meal the entire trip, a wine tasting and driver to Stari Grad and several other details. And need I say I contacted Elisha to add a bottle of champagne to celebrate our daughter's wedding proposal to a dinner reservation and it was perfectly executed.
The villa is as pictured, perfect for 6-8 people on the most perfect piece of property in Ivan Dolac. We ran on the ocean path each morning, jumped in the water off our own landing area and walked easily to the market and restaurants in ID. The only thing to note is that it is 45 min and a expensive taxi to Hvar main, we liked the peacefulness of the villa but until the road is completed, you are luckily secluded from the chaos which made for a wonderful time.
We truly enjoyed our time at Luma Hvar and the team is outstanding in coordinating experiences and making the most of the island. I hope to return someday!

Absolutely Disappointing – Price-Performance is Outrageous

We were looking forward to a pleasant stay at Vila Bleue on Hvar, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed. At nearly €1,000 per night, we expected a 4–5 star property – in reality, it is more like a 3-star house, which was not clearly communicated beforehand.

The rooms are tiny, sparsely furnished, and don’t even have wardrobes. The furniture feels cheap and partially worn. For 9 people, there are hardly any refrigeration options for food and drinks – especially frustrating since the nearest supermarket is almost an hour away.

The access road is a real challenge and makes arriving unnecessarily stressful. The garden and outdoor areas feel neglected, and right at the entrance we encountered a poisonous plant that sprays liquid when touched – completely unsuitable for children.

The nearby beach is full of trash and not inviting at all. Access to the house is very inconvenient for older guests. The terrace offers no privacy, as other guests walk right by. On the upper terrace, there are no sunshades, making it barely comfortable to use.

Overall, the price is completely out of proportion to the standard offered. We were extremely disappointed – neither the location nor the price justifies the poor condition and lack of care for the property.

We had the most wonderful experience with Hvar Away. From the very beginning, Elisha was incredibly helpful, not only in finding us the perfect house to rent for our family of six, but also in making sure our stay on the island was seamless. They went above and beyond by advising us on where to eat, what to do, and even where to buy the best local vegetables, which made us feel instantly at home.

The house itself was nothing short of a corner of paradise, set amidst lush vegetation with its own private beaches, it offered complete tranquility and beauty in every direction. It was the perfect retreat for both parents and children, combining comfort, privacy, and a truly unique setting.

We cannot recommend Hvar Away highly enough, their exceptional service and stunning properties made our stay in Hvar unforgettable.

Myself and 6 friends stayed at "Vertigo Palace" to celebrate my birthday. Such a beautiful villa tucked away in the streets of Jelsa, you would think you were hidden in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful calming space, and just a short walk from the supermarket - so we never had to drive anywhere.

The service from Hvar Away was incredible both before and during the time. They went out of their way to answer every question, and while we were there , there was never a request too big. I was really touched when at my birthday dinner at a restaurant, Elisha (from Hvar Away) organised a surprise bottle of bubbles for me.

Having everything so well organised, and never really having to think about anything made for such a memorable stay. I would HIGHLY recommend Hvar away.

In June I took my family through Croatia for 30 days, and the highlight of the trip was the stay with Hvar Away at “Villa Grace”.

Elisha was an amazing host, greeted us on arrival and gave a tour of the home which really started things off properly.

Throughout our stay Elisha catered to all of our needs, facilitated special requests and organized amazing activities ranging from boating excursions to a personal chef at our villa (which was the best dinner of the vacation!)

The entire trip was magical, and one we look forward to repeating.

Thank you Elisha!

We had a fantastic time at Villa Belpur in Pitve. We were a family of 6 with three older children. The property is excellent. The ground floor is a very large, stlyishly-designed open plan space with kitchen and living area which was perfect for us. The outside space wraps around the villa and is huge with a great view to the hills and then also to the sea from the first floor terrace. All the bedrooms are on this floor and are all en-suite. In the basement, we regularly used the pool table, excellent sauna and hot tub.
Elisha at Hvar Away is lovely, helpful and super-responsive. Thanks to Tina also for meeting us on arrival and showing us how everything works and how not to break the patio doors :).
Some tips and recommendations:
- car is needed really (taxis are expensive)
- the local Tommy supermarket is very close but quite expensive
- we found eating out to be fairly reasonable and the local Konoba Dvor Dubokovic is beautiful with huge portions
- Stari Grad is a must visit, great restaurants around a very picturesque bay
- We also enjoyed Vrbosk which is a great location to hire a bike. You can cycle to Jelsa from here along the coast.

Dobbiamo riconoscere che e' stata un'esperienza molto positiva. Elisha e il suo team impeccabili . Ad ogni nostra richiesta hanno risposto con professionalità e tempestività. Veramente bravissimi e ben organizzati.
La villa Estelle bellissima , arredata con grande gusto. Sembrava di essere a casa! Consiglio a tutti di utilizzare questa agenzia.
