Tucked away in the heart of Hvar’s historic stone streets, this compact duplex Hvar old town apartment is a charming base in one of the most sought-after parts of town. Set within a traditional stone house, it offers around 30 sqm of living space over two levels – roughly 15 sqm per floor – making it an easy, low-maintenance “lock up and leave” home.

On the ground floor, you step into a small entrance area, with a shower room immediately on the right. Beyond this is a cosy kitchenette with a seating area at the back of the house – ideal for simple holiday living or a weekend escape. From here, a spiral staircase leads up to the first floor, where there is a small double bedroom and a single bedroom. Part of the upper level has restricted head height, adding a touch of old-town character and reminding you that you’re in an authentic Hvar stone house rather than a modern new-build.

The apartment is clean, tidy and ready to use, but both the kitchen and bathroom are slightly dated by current standards. For many buyers, that is part of the attraction with this Hvar old town apartment: instead of paying for someone else’s choices, you have the opportunity to modernise the space to its full potential, choosing your own finishes, colours and layout within the existing footprint. With a thoughtful refurbishment, this could become a very stylish little Hvar hideaway.

The location, however, already feels hard to improve upon. Step outside and you are just moments from Hvar’s famous waterfront, with its cafés, restaurants, boutiques and vibrant summer atmosphere. Regular catamarans and ferries connect Hvar to Split and other Dalmatian islands, making it perfectly placed for weekend visits, longer holidays or easy island-hopping.

Whether you’re looking for a simple holiday home, a first step into the Hvar market or a compact rental investment in a prime old-town position, this Hvar old town apartment combines charm, convenience and clear scope to add value through sensitive updating.
