About this property
Nautilus-Bay Stonehouse - Luxurious stonehouse in old village Zavala, sleeps 7
Exclusive Dalmatian stone house with panoramic views
Our lovingly restored, Dalmatian "stone house on Hvar for 7 people" is located on the wonderful south side of the island of Hvar in the popular seaside resort of Zavala. At some distance from the sea (about 90 meters above the sea), the stone house is located in the historic village of Zavala, picturesque and quiet between other partly lovingly restored stone houses. The somewhat secluded hillside location on the upper edge of the village ensures plenty of peace and quiet and a magnificent view over the offshore islands of Scedro and Korcula.
The property is situated on a hillside plot. From the garage or the additional parking space, you can reach the entrance to the stone house via a lovingly designed stone staircase - past enchanting terraces and garden sections that invite you to linger. The house has two levels with a total of 3 bedrooms with 7 beds and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen is located in the open-plan living and dining room. From here you enter the covered main terrace, where guests usually eat and linger. The open fireplace is ideal for barbecues.
Due to the location in the village, the way to the sea is too far for some guests, so it is advisable to travel by car. To make it easier for you to find a parking space, we have reserved a parking space for your car on our property by the sea (at our apartment house "Villa Gorma" Zavala 189, 21465 Zavala). There is also a small clean pebble beach.

Fantastic, relaxing vacation on Hvar
If you are looking for a relaxing, away-from-it-all vacation in the Mediterranean with fabulous views, then Zavala is the right place! We spent nine days on the island and wish we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were wonderful and very helpful in answering our questions and giving us tips and insider information about places to visit during our stay. The house itself was luxury pure, with lots of space both indoor and outdoors (three bedrooms and bathrooms, four different terraces on the south, west, and north sides of the house). Appliances and furniture were new and state-of-the-art, and the beds were very comfortable. Everything within the description was accurate, as were the pictures. The house was clean and well-maintained, and our hosts were quick to respond (without being called) after a torrential rain shower (uncommon on the island). The house is nestled within the heart of the old town of Zavala, overlooking beautiful vineyards and the pure blue sea. Although it is a good, steep walk away from the beaches (about 500 meters), the views are spectacular and well worth the jaunt down to the beach promenade. Day trips to visit the larger towns (Hvar, Stari Grad, Jelsa) are easy to fit in and are only 15 minutes to an hour away. If you have the time, we highly recommend a day trip to Scedro for snorkeling and lunch or dinner, and be sure to visit the Restaurant kod Ive on the island -- terrific seafood, and the kids can swim while you wait. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Hvar Island and can't wait to return again soon!
