The Villa Heraclea complex is located in the town of Hvar on the island of the same name, in the area called Burag. It is located in the historic core – the very center of the town, only 20 meters from the sea and the main town promenade.
The Villa was built in the Baroque period, between 1590 and 1612. As a cultural monument, it has been placed under the protection of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of the Republic of Croatia.
From 2007 to 2009, the building itself and the interior courtyard/garden were reconstructed and adapted according to the instructions of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of the Republic of Croatia, as well as furnished as a luxury residential building for tourism.
The complex has an area of 450 m² of indoor space and a 200 m² garden. It consists of:
Baroque House
The main entrance with staircase and the water tank are located on the ground floor. The living room (45 m²) with balcony door, two double rooms (27 m² and 20 m²) – each with a bathroom, hallway, WC and kitchen with dining room (35 m²) and balcony door to the interior courtyard are located on the elevated first floor.
The 200 m² garden is enclosed by a stone wall that is over two meters high. It is covered in Mediterranean vegetation (lemons, oranges, figs, lavender…). There is also a dining table for 10 people as well as garden furniture with deckchairs by the pool.
There are a hallway and three double rooms (50 m², 36 m² and 25 m²) on the first floor – each with its own bathroom.
Medieval (Gothic) House
It is connected to the Baroque palace on the ground floor. The first floor houses an indoor pool (approx. 25 m²) with movable walls that can be opened, thus transforming the pool into an outdoor pool connected to the garden.
The lowest floor houses the wellness facilities (40 m²) (sauna, whirlpool, relaxation room, massage room, shower, WC and a small trim).
Connected to this is a wine cellar with a selection of first class Croatian and foreign wines.
All areas are heated and air-conditioned, as well as furnished with first class new or antique furniture. You have at your disposal refrigerators, ice machines, wine refrigerator, stove and oven, coffee machine, toaster, dishes, glasses, plates and everything you need for a pleasant stay. All of the rooms are equipped with LCD TV, satellite TV, telephone connection and wireless Internet. In the living room, there are an open fireplace, a library with a desk, DVD with home cinema and a safe.
A housekeeper is at your disposal every day to clean the house and, if you wish, to serve you breakfast, lunch or dinner, and to help you spend a pleasant holiday.
