The Area
Casa Barbiere is situated a few hundred metres from the centre of utterly charming Jelsa, whose historic architectural treasures, harbourfront restaurants, sandy beaches, and vibrant cafés and bars are all just a stroll away.
Jelsa, situated on Hvar’s northern coast, offers a serene summer retreat with a blend of modern conveniences and Dalmatian charm. It's an ideal destination for families seeking a laidback atmosphere amidst stunning natural beauty. The town features a vibrant waterfront adorned with bars, art galleries, and a delightful open-air cinema. Visitors can choose from a plethora of dining options, explore farmer’s markets, and enjoy a different gelato bar each evening. Surrounding Jelsa are exceptional beaches, including some rare sandy coves, perfect for little ones.You can reach Jelsa in a few different ways. If you're travelling from Split, the primary gateway to the island of Hvar, you have several options. You can opt for public catamarans (pedestrian-only) or ferries (pedestrians and vehicles), which depart from Split. One catamaran each day docks directly in Jelsa, whereas several a day arrive in Hvar Town. Ferries only dock into Stari Grad Port. From either port, Jelsa is a short drive away, approximately 15 minutes from Stari Grad and about 30 minutes from Hvar Town. Alternatively, there are private transfer services available, which provide a more direct route and are particularly convenient for those arriving late or with specific scheduling needs.
Jelsa boasts a rich cultural heritage intertwined with its picturesque setting. Historical sites like the Church of the Assumption of St. Mary and the Chapel of St. John offer glimpses into the town’s medieval past. Art enthusiasts can explore local galleries and museums, such as the Jelsa Municipal Museum, showcasing Dalmatian life and history through exhibits and artworks.The town’s vibrant social hub is the main square, 'pjaca', a popular meeting spot for locals and tourists alike. It’s a place to unwind, enjoy coffee or ice cream, and soak in Jelsa’s relaxed ambiance. Recent infrastructure developments, including road expansions and waterfront enhancements, have revitalised Jelsa, making it a welcoming destination for travellers seeking both tranquillity and modern convenience.
