Inside

Riva Lavanda sits on the second floor of a 15th-century building, wholly refurbished in 2016. Across 130 square metres, ancient stone walls meet elegant, understated modern finishes: a large lounge, a beautifully equipped kitchen, and streaming music running through the lounge, kitchen and terrace.

Two en-suite double bedrooms sleep four. The main room has an Italian-designed king-size bed; the charming attic room, a queen. Triple-glazed windows and noise-reduction shutters keep the buzz of the town outside when you want the calm.

Outside

The terrace is the heart of Riva Lavanda, and possibly the closest to the Adriatic in all of Hvar. It looks straight over the yachts and superyachts to the Pakleni Islands.

Sundowners before you join the nightlife, coffee as the harbour wakes: a private world set a single floor above the restaurants and bars.
