Cute hotel in old town Hvar with close walking distance to everything. Amazing staff!
Overview
Hotel Villa Nora Hvar sits proudly amid the Old Town of Hvar—so seamlessly integrated that you might miss its subtle sign amid the historic surroundings. This 14th-century palace, once the grand residence of the aristocratic Gazzari family, has been restored into a hotel. It offers a dose of medieval charm, and its location lets you be steps away from Hvar's most popular attractions.
Each room at Hotel Villa Nora Hvar is basic but with a warm, welcoming vibe with colorful decor and comforts like air conditioning and desks. The rooms are bright, spacious, and clean, featuring separate bathrooms and a cozy sitting area. Upgraded rooms have additional space and amenities, including the Junior Suite.
Dining at Hotel Villa Nora Hvar is a treat, as it's home to the city's restaurant, Lucullus, a favorite among tourists for years. It's renowned for its typical Dalmatian dishes and the charismatic cook entertaining guests with his stories. Enjoy your meals in the intimate walled courtyard, indulging in the locally sourced offerings. The hotel also carries a sense of cultural significance, being the birthplace of the renowned writer and composer Marin Gazarovic—a fact commemorated by an inscription on the palace's outer wall.
