Growing up, the Croatian coast has always been my favorite holiday destination, and it holds a special place in my heart. I was fortunate to live in the town of Hvar for a few years as a child, and every summer I continue to uncover new hidden gems on this beautiful island. It was during one of these summers that I discovered the charming village of Vrbanj and instantly fell in love with its tranquil atmosphere and rich history. Now, I'm excited to share this special place with you, so you can experience the magic of Hvar Island and create unforgettable memories just like I have.

Discover the authentic heart of Hvar in the charming village of Vrbanj, a place where centuries-old stone houses, peaceful surroundings and a rich wine-making tradition create a truly unique island experience. Nestled among vineyards and olive groves, Vrbanj has long been one of Hvar's most important wine-producing villages and remains a favourite destination for wine lovers. Within a short stroll or drive from the villa, you can visit several family-owned wineries, where passionate local winemakers welcome guests for tastings of Hvar's renowned indigenous grape varieties, including Plavac Mali, Bogdanuša and Pošip. These intimate cellar visits offer an authentic glimpse into the island's centuries-old viticultural heritage and are among the most memorable experiences Hvar has to offer. Thanks to its central location, Vrbanj is the perfect base for exploring the island. The historic towns of Stari Grad and Jelsa are just a 5-minute drive away, the ferry port is only 10 minutes from the villa, and the vibrant town of Hvar can be reached in around 20 minutes. The island's beautiful beaches are also within easy reach. In less than 10 minutes, you can discover the crystal-clear waters of Vrboska, Basina, Mudri Dolac and Jelsa, each offering its own unique character—from secluded coves to lively seaside promenades. Just a few steps from Casa Rustivéra, the village square offers everything you need for a relaxed stay: a local grocery shop with freshly baked bread each morning, a welcoming café for your first coffee of the day, and Restaurant Bogo, known for its traditional Dalmatian cuisine prepared with fresh local ingredients.
