Villa Mateljan

Stretched along the quieter eastern shore of Hvar island, Villa Mateljan sits in the small village of Zastražišće — roughly 25km from Hvar Town's ferry crowds — making it a practical base for travellers who want Dalmatian coastline without the summer congestion of the main port.

The property sits directly beside the beach, with free parking on-site — a genuine advantage on an island where car access is restricted near most hotels. Breakfast and a restaurant serve guests without needing to drive into town.

Zastražišće is reachable by car via the island's central road or by local bus from Hvar Town. The surrounding coves along this stretch are less visited than Hvar's western beaches, suiting guests after calm water rather than beach-bar atmosphere.
