The pool and courtyard
Villa Juno is an outstanding, historically important Baroque period villa, situated in an exceptional location on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, the island of Hvar in southern Croatia. This villa was built in 1600, when the architecture of Hvar reached its most sublime period under the influence of the Venetian culture. After a year of renovation under the strict supervision of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments the villa has retained all its architectural period features and the character of a wealthy Venetian home, with every luxury and comfort inside, including a walled garden, a wellness room and a swimming pool. The villa is in the heart of Hvar’s medieval centre and only 30 metres from the sea front. An unusual feature for a villa in the very centre of Hvar is the villa’s 200 square metre garden.

RESTAURANTS, BARS and NIGHTLIFE
Many good restaurants and bars are dotted all around the town of Hvar, serving either simple fresh seafood and pasta, or providing a full-on gastronomic experience, such as Macondo restaurant in one of the small Hvar streets. Seasoned party goers recommend the Carpe Diem nightclub in the harbour, which is furnished with exotic Arabian furniture and décor and provides cocktails and champagne until small hours of the morning.
More superb restaurants are located on the nearby Pakleni islands, which you can reach by a small ferry. Our favorites are Patak (also known as Kod Patka) and Meneghello, the latter in a lush tropical garden and decorated with exotic art work; they are both restaurants which provide great cooking and a magical location.

BOAT TRIPS and BOAT HIRE
A visit to “Pakleni” islands is highly recommended. You can swim there in one of the quiet unspoilt bays with azure water so clear that you can see the sand on the sea bed.
All water sports are provided – sailing, water skiing, scuba-diving, fishing.
Well worth visiting are nearby islands of Brac and Vis, each one spectacularly beautiful. Brac has a famous Bol beach great for windsurfing, and near Vis is equally famous blue cave of Bisevo (small island), where you can be taken inside the blue cave by local guides.
