Bel-Art

Eight rooms fill this stone townhouse on Ulica svetega križiča, tucked into Hvar Town's old quarter a five-minute walk from the harbor promenade and the Cathedral of St Stephen. Bel-Art suits couples wanting a quiet base away from the ferry-terminal crowds while staying close to the evening korzo.

Rooms keep exposed limestone walls and wooden shutters rather than a uniform boutique finish. No restaurant on site, but the owners direct guests to a family-run konoba two streets over for grilled fish. Fortica hilltop fortress is a steep ten-minute climb above.
