Accommodation at Villa Dvor Marietta is set over two floors. Original features abound throughout the property, including exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and restored ceramic stone flooring.
To arrive at Villa Dvor Marietta, you must first enter the Mediterranean-style stone courtyard that connects the villa with her three Dvor brothers: Villa Ardito, Villa Nicolo, and Villa Giovanni. Upon entering the courtyard, even before reaching the villa, one is immediately struck by the feeling that this is a very special place indeed. Young locals have renovated these centuries-old stone houses and revived their former glory, but the storied history is almost palpable.
The main entrance to Villa Dvor Marietta opens immediately into a spacious open-concept living area and well-equipped kitchen complete with a central dining table for 4 people. The living room has a large comfortable sofa (which can be transformed into a double-sized 140cm sofa bed for groups of up to 4), and an HD home cinema. A staircase leads up to the first floor mezzanine bedroom, which contains a king size bed, a dedicated workspace, and direct access to the balcony terrace complete with an al fresco dining area and deckchairs upon which you can gaze out across the surrounding vineyards and olive groves. Next to the bedroom, a gorgeous bathroom with double sinks and a seamless walk-in shower.

The Area
Villa Dvor Marietta is situated in the heart of Pitve village, one of Hvar's oldest settlements and considered by many as the most picturesque.
Pitve, one of the oldest hamlets on Hvar Island, offers visitors a picturesque escape with its beautifully restored stone houses and lush, green surroundings. Located 168 metres above sea level, the village enjoys cooler mountain air even in the peak of summer. The hamlet is divided into Upper (Old) Pitve and Lower (New) Pitve, with narrow, labyrinthine streets and quaint inner courtyards that evoke a setting of a Mediterranean fairytale. With its tiny population of around 50 residents, Pitve's charm and tranquility make it a unique destination on the island.While Pitve has no amenities of its own aside from one restaurant, the village is just 2 kilometres from the town of Jelsa, accessible via a short and easy drive or taxi ride. Jelsa has two large new grocery stores and parking is blissfully cheap. Having a car is advisable for easy travel around the island, particularly if you're staying in Pitve.
Pitve is ideal for those seeking meaningful solitude and restorative quiet. Visitors can hike to the Church of St. James for panoramic views or take more challenging trails to the Chapel of St. Anthony and beyond to the seaside village of Zavala. The Viticulture Collection, a newly opened wine museum in Pitve, offers insights into Hvar’s winemaking history with exhibits of original vineyard tools and traditional cookware. Beach enthusiasts will find that Pitve’s location makes it easy to reach both the northern and southern coasts, offering a variety of idyllic coves and pebble beaches.Dining in Pitve is centered around the Konoba Dvor Duboković, a family-run restaurant located on a hilltop with sweeping views of vineyards and the Adriatic. This charming eatery, adorned with vibrant flowers and rustic decor, serves delicious homemade food in an enchanting setting. Reservations are recommended. For more dining options and a lively change of pace, the nearby town of Jelsa offers bars, art galleries, an open-air cinema, and numerous gelato bars, making it perfect for an evening out or a resupply.Despite its diminutive size, 14km long and 4km wide, Alonissos has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beaches. Arguably the best ones are to be found along the east coast and on the southern tip.
