We had an amazing stay at Villa Porta Maestra.The apartment is in a beautiful old building in an excellent location right off the main square.Very walkable. Beautiful renovation with charming details but every convenience we could ask for! Stefani was amazing! Assisted with bookings for day trips and always available for recommendations and any help needed. Shout out to Rosa and the fantastic breakfast provided in the next door restaurant.Highly recommend!

Super comfortable, clean and very nice decorated Appartment. Perfectly located downtown, but still quiet. Well equipped and nothing was missing. You just feel like home when entering the Appartment. The host Stefani is super friendly and a kind person. Absolute recommendation!

Our stay was very nice. The apartment was big and nicely decorated with a modern mid-century vibe. There was plenty of room for storage. We felt right at home. The toiletries, steamer and hair dryer were all top notch. Our host, Steafani, met us at the ferry and helped us to get to the property with all of our luggage. The breakfast, which was just a few short steps away, was great!
The location was in the heart of all the action but it was quite loud in the evenings making it tough to sleep.
We stayed for three nights, but no one came to clean-dishes were left in the sink, towels not replenished etc...
The manager could have been a little more attentive during our stay-taking initiative to inquire about whether we needed anything or offer suggestions instead of waiting for us to reach out.

A traditional property which has been renovated to a high standard.
The property has all the amenities that you require for your stay and is in a central location.
Steps would be a problem for some.

Villa Porta Maestra was clean, comfortable and makes you feel right at home. If you might have forgotten something on your trip then they most likely have it already in the villa for you (literally from a Dyson hair dryer, lady products, scissors etc). The location is really convenient and walking distance from great food spots as well as the ferry. Truly loved our stay here. Stefani was a great host too!!

Amazing location and apartment! We loved everything about this apartment so clean and new with a lovely gift basket on arrival. Just off the square but very quiet for sleeping. Stephanie was a great host and gave us lots of recommendations. We loved Hvar and staying at Villa Porta. Highly recommend!

Villa Porta Maestra was one of our favourite stays in Croatia. The location is fantastic, right off of the square. We had the 2-bedroom apartment which was beautifully decorated, spacious and very comfortable for our family of four. Wonderful touches like fruit, snacks and water were a welcome treat when we arrived. Breakfast is delicious and served just a few steps away at an adjacent restaurant. The building is historic, and has a small museum housing original tile flooring from 89 AD and other artifacts dating back to 400 BC. A very special place!

Beautifully furnished property in a stunning location. The private terrace standing on the 14th century balcony was just magical and completely unique - breakfast was served just a few steps away and delicious…and the nearby restaurants were superb too…very friendly and supportive host who helped us out brilliantly…all in all just a real pleasure to stay in a wonderful place
Nothing at all…

Villa Port Maestra’s location is perfect - a hidden gem. A comfortable bed with quality linen, well appointed kitchen, impeccably clean, generous welcome basket, friendly greeting and assistance from Stefani. Everything you could ever need - and more. Don’t hesitate to book. A fantastic base to discover the delights of Hvar

The hotel has a great location, close to the harbour, the city center just next door, perfect for a short stay and had everything you needed. The host was a great host, she allow us to had early check-in, and she welcome us with fresh fruit, drinking water, and some bottle of nuts, and cookie in the room (which was absolutely gorgeous). The room was very clean and very comfortable, nice functional. The bed was cozy and the Wi-Fi was good.

The apartment is beautifully located in the very centre of Hvar. An ancient building now furnished with the most modern of amenities. The care and attention to detail is extraordinary. It is an exceptional property. The owner could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Luxury indeed.
Nothing whatsoever.

Porta Maestra is in the heart of downtown Hvar. We could hear the church bells ringing and the birds singing. Our hostess Stephanie was very gracious, efficient, and always available. Our apartment included 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a balcony, and a partial view of the harbor.. She provided snacks and a generous breakfast in a nearby restaurant. We celebrated Mother's Day here.
We loved everything. For us, it was luxurous.

Excellent location, beautiful and roomy apartment - very modern. Quiet and comfortable and steps away from all the best locations in Hvar town. Stefani was very helpful with recommendations as well!

Location was the best. Easy to ferry, walk around the harbor, window shop in little galleries and all the rest. Staff was top notch. The design of the apartment was so gorgeous - mixing the local stone flavor with more modern touches. Beds were big and comfortable as were the bathrooms.
The appliances and AC were tough to figure out so just ask for the instructions on day 1.

The property is located on top of the city's 15th century main gate, with great cocktail bars and restaurants just down the stairway. The apartment was an eye candy, we appreciated the meticulous design. It is equipped with brand new (and high quality) appliances, tableware and everything you need to feel yourself at home and to prepare a delicious breakfast from the local market's produce (located just a short walk away). The receptionist/administrators were extremely helpful and nice, they also operate a cellar/wine shop stocked with great wine that we also appreciated.
Hvar Hrad is a city of stairs and the entrance to this property is no exception; you'll have to conquer a couple of steep stairways on the way to the flats, take it in mind especially when equipped with heavy luggage.

During our stay we stayed in two apartments of Villa Porta Maestra (apartment 1+2). Both apartments are beautifully furnished! The apartments are perfectly equipped! The double beds as well as sofa beds are very comfortable. The apartments are located right in the center, the location could not have been better! Despite the central location, the rooms are well insulated. Especially apartment 2 is very quiet, and this apartment has a wonderful terrace with a view of the city center/sea. Apartment 1 does not have a terrace, but compensates for this with its spaciousness. The hostess and staff were super nice and are always available. Beach towels could be changed daily. Actually a luxury hotel in the form of apartments. We will definitely come back again!

The apartment is beautiful- decorated so tastefully, very clean, comfortable and so well equipped. It’s in an amazing location based in the heart of the old town. The host Stefani and all of the staff we so lovely and left a gorgeous tray of fresh fruit, chocolates and fresh coffee pods on our arrival, which was a really lovely touch 😁

Wonderful! Brand new with luxury furniture, spacious and comfortable in the most prestigious location on the island.
We felt like in the movie, as the villa itself is set on the archeological site, and it has a mini-museum with antiques.
The wine cellar is fantastic, with the best Istrian wines from the famous Meneghetti winery.
If you like the luxury Mediterranean style, this is The Place!
We will be back for sure!

FANTASTIC! Location, location, location.
We were in Hvar for the first time and it couldn't be better. From the first moment when we met a host who waited for us in the harbor and after a 2 min walk we’re inside of the museum!! This is a unique breathtaking place, not just a simple accommodation. Our apartment was on the second floor, a real small flat with anything you need to stay longer, modern kitchen, nice sofa.. but balcony was the best.

Superb!!
Simply great. Old historic villa but everything new inside, perfect location. I liked the mattress, need to buy the same for my home. Even a small book room was helpful, a lot of interesting books there at your disposal. During the night it’s better to keep the windows and shutters closed because sometimes during the night you hear drunk people outside but if it’s closed it’s ok. We were given electric scooters to use for free and it was great, you reach the beach within minutes and you can park it anywhere. Breakfast is nice, worth it, Natalia is a very nice lady.

Amazing, speechless for this history and the whole story around this villa. Hvar is beautiful, but this accommodation made the experience much better. We’re here for the first time and this place was the perfect choice, the location is right in the center, you cannot miss this place, even tourists were coming to check the house since it’s on the list of Hvar heritage. We were given free parking which is 200m away, but they waited for us at the entrance and helped with the luggage. Nice and calm, no noise from outside even if it's so close to piazza.

Perfect location, professional service, and high-end accommodations. Very happy we stayed there and we’ll definitely be back. Such a lovely place!!

Wow!!! What to say, we need to come back asap. Obviously, they didn’t spare on anything when renovating this heritage place, even Dyson hair dryer in my room. Overall unbelievable experience, attention to detail, but, BUT location is outstanding, you can’t be closer to anything then this. The view from the balcony was perfect, drinking coffee and looking at sea and boats, and then it takes you one minute to be standing in front of the boats. Awesome experience
Bad thing is we couldn't stay longer. :)
Some rain. But also, staying inside is very pleasant experience.

We had an apartment on the first floor. It wasn't your standard rental property - far from it. This place was built and equipped with style and class, and you could feel it in every nook and corner. Even though we didn't have a view from our apartment, it didn't take away from the experience one bit. Just a quick 20-step walk and we were standing in the main piazza, taking in the jaw-dropping beauty of Hvar.
The kids found their sleeping spot on the living room sofa to be quite comfortable and roomy. It was the perfect place for them to relax after long days out.
One of the highlights of our stay was learning about the villa's history from the super-friendly lady Stefani at the front desk. Turns out this place is on the Hvar heritage list, which only added to its charm.
All in all, this villa was nothing short of a homerun for us. It's the kind of place that makes you feel at home while also giving you a slice of luxury. We can't wait to pack our bags and head back there. So, if you're looking for a spot with history, comfort, and a touch of class, don't look past this villa. We couldn't recommend it more!

Amazing! Perfect!!!
We booked the whole villa at the very last moment and we didn’t really imagine that this is a real cultural heritage place, in the heart of the town, simply stunning experience, everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.
They allowed us to enter the room much before regular check in, every single detail in the room and the whole villa is beautiful, comfortable, new beds, lighting, stone walls, view to Hvar marina and fortress.. We were told that the renovation of this middle age villa lasted 5 years and it is probably the best stay ever in Hvar, you can’t find such places anywhere else. We must come again but for longer, this was too short. The ground floor with Romain mosaic and floor heating system is dated from ancient time, something like 2000 years old, really something unique you cannot see around while we slept there, unbelievable. Also, the balcony at the 2nd floor just above the old gate and overlooking piazza is unique, you can feel the history there and just sitting there with a glass of wine is enough, you don’t need to go out. The owner helped us a lot the last day when we missed the catamaran boat, so he offered us a ride with his speed boat to Split airport since he was planning to go there anyway so didn’t want to take any money for that.

Great!! What a location, it simply can’t be better. Seating at the balcony in the evening was the best experience but during the day can be hot I guess. Bed was amazing, but I tried pillow menu, I had a lavender pillow and its just a perfect match for Hvar.
Breakfast was also superb. The cost is 15eur per person and it’s really a good deal. They serve it outside in the garden of villa Nora which is just a few steps away in the street. They offer only homemade stuff, from vegetables to bread and sweat pies which impressed me the most
