Description
The surrounding village showcases the traditional charm of Hvar Island. Classic stone houses, historic churches, and narrow streets represent authentic Dalmatian architecture, each speaking to the region's timeless beauty and culture.
This property is located in Grablje, also known as Velo Grablje, a highly sought-after inland village with conservation protection. The village is rich in history and cultural heritage and has a strong connection to lavender production. During the early 20th century, Grablje gained fame for its lavender. By the mid-century, it became the largest producer of lavender oil in the former Yugoslavia. At its peak, Hvar Island produced around 10% of the world's lavender oil. Today, the annual Lavender Festival celebrates this legacy, honouring the role lavender has played in the village's development. Traditional customs like folk songs, dances, and religious festivals are still preserved, adding to the cultural identity of Velo Grablje.
The village is conveniently located just 13 km from Hvar town. In the opposite direction, the Stari Grad ferry port and town are only a few kilometres away. This prime location offers easy access to the island's main attractions while providing the tranquillity and authentic experience of a historic Dalmatian village.
