Apartments Ante - Hvar center, pool

Sixteen steps up from Vicka Butorovica street, Apartments Ante keeps its shared pool terrace above the rooflines of Hvar's old town, catching afternoon sun long after ground-level courtyards fall into shade. The three-star property suits self-catering travellers and small families wanting kitchen space over hotel service.

Units split between courtyard-facing (quieter) and partial sea-view (higher floor, more stairs). Hvar's harbour and the Franciscan monastery waterfront sit a seven-minute walk downhill; the return trip is the only real drawback of the elevated position.

Parking is street-side and limited in July and August, so arrival by taxi boat or on foot from the ferry pier works better than driving.
