Fantastic property in a great location to the harbour town with plenty of shops from food, bakeries, bars and restaurants serving local specialities. The apartment was very spacious and a sea view from the balcony. The facilities were more than adequate and well equipped and had the bonus of the separate ground floor apartment. A great place to stay.

Traumhaus für Altstadtfans

Das Haus liegt mitten in den Gassen von Jelsa. Von der Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick über die Gärten der Altstadt, auf den Kirchturm und den nahen Hafen. Die Masten der Segelboote scheinen zum greifen nah. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut, die Einrichtung sehr persönlich und individuell. Das Haus hat zwei separate Einheiten, ein kleines Studio mit Bad und Küchenzeile im EG und ein großes Wohnzimmer mit sehr geräumigen Schlafzimmer im 1. Und zweiten OG. Für uns war es ideal, da unsere Tochter bereits erwachsen ist. Sehr junge Kinder hätten wir nicht gerne im EG alleine gelassen, da es doch deutlich vom Hauptteil des Hauses getrennt ist. Die Gastgeber haben sich um alles gekümmert, der Service war klasse, das Haus blitzsauber, ausreichend Handtücher vorhanden. Für uns war es perfekt und wir kommen gerne wieder - auch nach Jelsa!

Dream house for old town fans The house is located in the middle of the streets of Jelsa. From the terrace you have a great view over the gardens of the old town, the church tower and the nearby harbour. The masts of the sailing boats seem close enough to touch. The equipment is very good, the furnishings very personal and individual. The house has two separate units, a small studio with bathroom and kitchenette on the ground floor and a large living room with very spacious bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floor. It was ideal for us as our daughter is already grown up. The hosts took care of everything, the service was great, the house was sparkling clean, there were enough towels. It was perfect for us and we would love to come back - even to Jelsa! Dear Monika, Thank you so much for your kind words. You and your family were perfect guests snd are welcome back to Hvar, Jelsa and Villa Fjaka...

Tolle Unterkunft

Das Haus mitten in der Altstadt bietet ausreichend Platz für eine vierköpfige Familie. Die Kinder sollten aber schon älter sein, da deren Schlafraum im Erdgeschoss liegt und einen separaten Eingang hat, das restliche Haus kann nur über die Außentreppe betreten werden. Das Haus ist liebevoll saniert und sehr wohnlich eingerichtet. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Von der Terrasse hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Kirche und sieht die Masten der Segelschiffe im Hafen. Die Lage in der Altstadt ist toll um den Flair der Stadt mit vielen tollen Restaurants und Bars zu genießen. Es gibt keine Parkmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe, das Gepäck muss an der Kirche ausgeladen werden und dann die Gasse hoch zum Haus gebracht werden. Nachdem Bettwäsche und Handtücher gestellt werden und eine Waschmaschine und ein Trockner vor sind, empfiehlt es sich sparsamer zu packen. Das Haus liegt etwas versteckt in einer ruhigen Seitengasse. Wir hatten einen sehr liebevollen Empfang mit Obst und lokalen Wein. Unser Vermieter war immer erreichbar, auch vor Ort hätte es Hilfe gegeben wenn dies nötig gewesen wäre. Hvar ist eine wunderschöne Insel mit vielen kleinen Buchten und einer tollen Landschaft, es lohnt sich etwas zu fahren und keine Angst vor den Schotterstraßen zu haben. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen herzlichen Dank Robert für den unvergesslichen Urlaub in deinem schönen Haus.

Great place to stay The house in the middle of the old town offers enough space for a family of four. The children should be older, as their bedroom is on the ground floor and has a separate entrance; the rest of the house can only be accessed via the outside staircase. The house has been lovingly renovated and is very comfortably furnished. The kitchen is very well equipped. From the terrace there is a beautiful view of the church and the masts of the sailing ships in the harbour. The location in the old town is great for enjoying the flair of the city with many great restaurants and bars. There is no parking in the immediate vicinity, luggage must be unloaded at the church and then brought up the alley to the house. After bed linen and towels are provided and a washing machine and dryer are in front of you, it is advisable to pack more sparingly. The house is tucked away in a quiet side street. We had a very loving welcome with fruit and local wine. Our landlord was always available, and there would have been help on site if this had been necessary. Hvar is a beautiful island with many small bays and a great landscape, it's worth driving a bit and not being afraid of the gravel roads. We can fully recommend the house and would come back at any time. Many thanks Robert for the unforgettable vacation in your beautiful house.

Fantastic place to stay!

Really great place to stay equipped with all that you need (minus a pool;) for a great summer holiday. If you're into African art/decor, then you're in for a treat:) The property is located in a superb location - centre of village - that allows you to explore the town, shops, restaurants + Jelsa is an ideal location for travelling to the rest of the island (something that we we did a lot off). We had a hired car with us at all times and could not park very close to the property, however if you dont mind a short 5min walk then it should not be a big problem. We hired the entire villa which also comes with a self-contained studio downstairs that has a separate entrance - perfect for teens/jungesters who'd like to stay late and come home without distrurbing anyone else. The owner is supe attentative and very helpful. I'll certainly would go back and would highly recommend it.

A good place to chill out and a home base to discover the island

Villa Fjaka is located in the middle of the old part of Jelsa. The owner restored the whole building which has now all modern equipment but the ambience of a traditional stone house. The outfit is somehow a bit ethno style what we liked and what creates an inspiring atmosphere. Everything was perfectly clean and well prepared when we arrived. The communication with the owner (and some of his neighbours and friends) was very friendly. – All in all for us Villa Fjaka was an ideal home base to discover the whole island. We had a wonderful 14-days-stay there with our two boys (18 years old), who occupied the basement flat (with a separate entrance). The inside guide (among a lot of other guide books and travel information) written by Paul Bradbury helped a lot (although it is more than 10 years old). If the internet access in the house does not work perfectly (and you need one) go to Café Splendid on the main place just three minutes away. All-out recommendation!

A charming property in a great location

Jelsa, in my opinion, is the best place to stay on Hvar. Very friendly, relaxed with nice restaurants. Robert’s place is tucked away in the old town and has been renovated to a high standard. Quaint, but perfectly comfortable. As well as the house itself, there is an outside terrace and garden so you can sit outside. Robert was very helpful and easy to deal with. I thoroughly recommend this rental.

A great stay at Villa Fjaka

We had a fantastic stay in Jelsa and appreciated the charm, character and location of Villa Fjaka. Well located a few minutes walk from the centre of Jelsa and it's restaurants and shops, Villa Fjaka is an oasis of calm. We enjoyed the fact that it felt like someone's home rather than a generic holiday apartment; the terrace and garden provide further spaces to enjoy. However, while the downstairs apartment was fine for our teenage daughters to sleep in, the room is quite dark and does not really provide a comfortable living space. Finally, we found the best areas for swimming on the opposite side of the harbour and further around the headland, which are still only a 7-10 minute walk from the house.

Wonderful holiday

We had a really great holiday at Villa Fjaka. Accomodation was perfect for our family, with our adult daughters sleeping in the ground floor room. Villa was comfortable, quirky and very well equipped. It is just a few minutes from the harbour, restaurants and shops and being sited in a residential area was a real plus as it was peaceful. We spent many hours on the sun terrace as a contrast to sunbathing on the variety of locations along the coast where we swam in the lovely warm sea. We ate very well in several of the restaurants in the harbour, which is a charming, family-friendly area for after-dinner strolling and ice-creams. We enjoyed exploring the island by boat and open-topped beetle and we thoroughly recommend a holiday in Villa Fjaka in beautiful Jelsa.

Beautifully presented, well located and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We ended up using the top part of the property only, which meant using the sofa bed, but that was fine. The terrace is lovely, and we appreciated the homely touches (like a well equipped kitchen!) that made it easy to stay there. The walk down the lanes to the harbour was a pleasure too. Jelsa is a lovely place.

Perfect home for perfect holiday

We have had a month in Croatia and stayed 1 week in Jelsa, this was by far our favourite accomodation.Everything has been thought of, all the local info about the area, its great to have all the condiments for cooking, as well as the nightlights when your in unfamiliar surroundings. Our kids had been backpacking for weeks so enjoyed having some space downstairs to call their own. We would stroll down to get our morning pastries and then spent a lot of time on the balcony soaking up the surroundings and enjoying the clear skies and warm weather. We loved getting our fresh vegetables and figs from a small doorway just down the road, the fresh figs yum. We did the coastal walk to Vrboska (it is 5km) with lots of beautiful areas to stop and swim along the way. This is a beautiful village that has an amazing Wine Festival the last weekend of August, which we were lucky enough to arrive in the midst of, Saturday evening.The street food was incredible, water polo games, music and finished with an amazing fire works display. We would definitely recommend staying here to our friends and hope we can return one day.

a beautiful apartment in a beautiful town. perfect for a family.

such a beautiful and characterful apartment... so well laid out... and the wifi and separate apartment was a treat for teenagers... you can't beat the roof terrace though. the views day and night are so lovely. Thank you Robert for all the care you took to welcome us and keep us comfortable... we had everything we could wish for. There is a good food scene emerging on the shore (Usmokve and me and mrs jones) and the sea swimming off mina beach (just a stroll away) is perfect for all ages and has shade and sun! We absolutely recommend Jelsa (better than Hvar town ) for sun, sea, peace and good food and the villa for comfort, peace and charm. (we miss it!)

Gorgeous house, lovely place

We stayed for two weeks in August at Villa Fjaka. The house is lovely, in the town but quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful terrace. It has everything you could possibly need - beach equipment, bikes, books, and (important for me) a cafetiere! Jelsa is really lovely, a beautiful harbour, loads of restaurants, cafes and bars, lots of swimming spots to choose from. It is easy to manage without a car - we used the bus, taxi boat, bikes, and rented a boat for a day to get around. There are lots of supermarkets and some market stalls and lovely bakeries to do your shopping. Having visited other places on the island - Hvar Town, Stari Grad, Vrboska - I would say Jelsa is easily the nicest place to stay. Robert was very helpful in terms of bookings and information. Hvar is very easy to reach from the UK, with a really convenient early morning catameran leaving Jelsa directly to Split. I can't fault this place at all, would highly recommend! (The house is divided into two with a self-contained studio downstairs, this worked well for us with two teenagers).

Great location, comfortable & relaxing

So many holiday villas are poorly equipped and soulless - Villa Fjaka is an antidote to this, clearly a place much loved by the attentive owners, well equipped and easy to live in. We loved the terrace with views to the harbour, and the walled garden for evening meals. Jelsa is a magical place which we hope to return to one day! Much recommended

About the host

Hosted by Robert De Young

Host profile image
American who has lived in Norway for the past 30 years.
Love to travel. I'm a restaurateur and sommelier living in Oslo and a big time foodie. Married to bookish Norwegian. We have three children.

Why they chose this property

Bought the villa as a ruin fourteen years ago and had it totally restored. Jelsa is a relaxed Dalmatian town reminiscent of the way things used to be on the Adriatic. We enjoy our house and the town of Jelsa so much and would like to share the experience with you. The Croats have a word for the palpable lethargy that is often felt in the island towns — fjaka, described by locals as “the sweetness of doing nothing”

What makes this property unique

We enjoy being two minutes from the main square. It's like a big living room for us, to sit in the cafes enjoying an espresso or a cold drink, people-watch and take in the life of the town. Jelsa is perfectly situated for vacationers who love to swim, fish, hike and bicycle. It also has car rental and boat rentals. Easy access to nearby larger towns of Stari Grad and Hvar town, with many charming villages along the way.
