We had an amazing trip staying in Rupert’s apartment! The apartment was clean, well-appointed, and had an unbelievable private outdoor terrace. Great views out to the Adriatic as well! It was a 3 min walk to all the restaurants and shops of the city center, but felt completely private. Rupert was incredibly attentive and responsive to our needs, and provided great recommendations. We loved our time in Hvar, and wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we visit again!

Could not have imagined a better place to stay. Absolutely beautiful.

Loved it - so central yet so quiet, great air conditioning, all the mod cons and lovely decor!

My husband and I just returned from a 5-night stay in this property and we loved every moment we spent there. The property is in a great location near all the Hvar action, but is also quite. The apartment and decor is BEAUTIFUL. We had another couple join us for part of our stay and there was ample room for 4 adults. Also, Katia and Rupert made wonderful dining and activity recommendations. Book this home, you won't be disappointed.

The location, the interior design but most important the hosts make this propert one of a kind. I traveled to Hvar with my husband and older children who enjoyed the property as much as I did. You just walk 5 to 7 minutes and you have access to the sea, the downtown, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, etc. The unit is incredibly spacious, with excellent views of the sea and the Islands. The kitchen is well equipped and Rupert and his wife were very thoughtful in leaving in the kitchen some products that cover your first necessities. The property also offers a very manicured outside patio with lounges, a BBQ set, dinner table and a meditation area. I have no doubt we will return to this incredible place in the near future. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Dawnay for the exquisite taste you have put into this property and your kindness to us.

In the most fabulous location close to shops, bars, boat hire, beach etc the views from the premises are breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the sea and islands beyond.The property is lovely clean although is you are using it to self cater we felt it was lacking with equipment. There were no treats on arrival ie; a bottle of local wine or even milk or basics in the fridge which I have been used to in previous rentals. It is worth pointing out all the steps up to the premises with your luggage, fine if you're young, fit and healthy but otherwise prepare yourself (there are no cars in this area so you wouldn't be able to get a taxi). If you're planning on using this for entertaining into the wee small hours I would think again, we had an altercation with the known aggressive neighbour when we returned from a wedding at 2.30am. The aircon was a godsend and functions perfectly. The showers in the apartment are lovely when you can get warm/hot water, we had to wash our hair in cold water on the day of the wedding which was annoying. I don't think the boiler system is up to housing the whole building! The gardens are beautiful and the sunbathing terrace is lovely but only has two sunbed. It's a real suntrap and you really need the well thought of outdoor shower below. All in all a very beautiful place but could so nearly be perfect!

Rupert and his team that will make sure every second of your stay is as magical as this villa and the island of Hvar. Communication from booking to check out was above and beyond. The interior design of the home is impeccable and everything is brand new and renovated to a 5-star standard of elegance.The rooms are large, the beds are very comfortable and the closet space is endless. Once through the double doors to the apt there is a foyer and to the left is the master bedroom and bath and to the right, the main family room with a sprawling view of the Adriatic Sea looking out to the islands beyond and boats whisking by. The second bedroom is also in this area and a good size. Beds can be put together to make a queen or separated to accommodate more guests and this room is where the Romeo and Juliet balcony is located. If you like to cook, you will love the kitchen: its complete and spacious with a window that looks out onto the Adriatic and another that opens to the modern, sleek garden/patio outdoor area. The design is like something out of Architectural Digest. Simply stunning and inviting with 4 well planned private levels that encompass the garden area into one: be it you want to soak up some sun on two lounge chairs on the very top deck with a view of the Adriatic and overlooking the modern garden or perhaps just a level below you want to meditate in the meditation room. There is also a good sized “outdoor kitchen” which houses another small refrigerator and laundry area with a washer and dryer and then the breakfast area table under a trellis of vines and flowers. You’ll also find if you need some limes you can pick one right off the trees in this garden area. Plus! the villa is right in town and yet you can feel like you are away from it all when you go home. Another plus, Rupert sent cleaners by on our 3rd day and fresh towels. The place was immaculate when we returned. The space of this property is endless regardless that the villa is owned and divided by 3 families. The families are very quiet and very pleasant when, and if, you happen to cross paths on the grand staircase up to the main door. However, if you want total privacy there is a separate entrance on the side of the villa which will open up in to the outdoor deck area. Villa Marchi is everything and more. Thank you Rupert and Kaitja for your unwavering hospitality and thank you also to the families in the villa for being so kind! Appreciate all you did for me during my stay! Thanks!

Villa Marchi was an amazing place to stay. Rupert is the best. The most gracious of host and also let you do your own thing. That being said if you needed something he had the answer. He has lived in Hvar for over a decade and knows it all. The meditation room, sun deck and villa patio are all your own. It was the best and I have been to Hvar 3 times. This was the best experience by far that I have had. Stay here if you have the chance.

Had a lovely few days in this apartment, in a glorious building, overlooking the sea with fantastic views. The owners have renovated the apartment to such a high standard, and has all the amenities you need for a great stay in Hvar town. The location is fantastic, just a quick stroll into town, couldn't be better. Can't wait to return again.
