We are located on a small hilltop known locally as Glavica, which means “little head.” Our home is nestled in the historic part of Hvar, under UNESCO protection, offering a unique glimpse into the island’s rich heritage. Our family has deep roots here—my great-grandfather was a successful horse trader, and today we continue the tradition of working with the land by producing our own grapes and olive oil. We’ve been welcoming guests into our home since 1970, sharing the warmth and authenticity of local life.Our friendly French bulldog, Capri, loves to greet guests and bring smiles to everyone she meets. Hvar is your perfect base for exploring the island: take scenic drives through lavender fields, visit nearby vineyards and orchards, or simply wander the charming old town streets. Rent a boat or join an island-hopping excursion to discover hidden coves and beaches—each one close to perfection.

My name is Vinka, and I come from a long line of people who lived close to the land and worked with their hands and hearts. The name Kovačević means “descendant of the blacksmith”—a reminder of strength, craft, and quiet resilience that’s been passed down through generations. My great-grandfather was a respected horse trader, and today our family continues to grow grapes and olives on the same soil. We’ve been welcoming guests to our home since 1970, and every visit is a chance to share not just a place to stay—but a piece of who we are. Together with our friendly French bulldog, Capri, we invite you to feel at home in our peaceful corner of Hvar, where tradition, care, and connection still matter. Welcome to Jakov & Antonia Heritage Estate – where every apartment has its own charm. Whether you’re sipping espresso under a baldahin or swinging gently with a garden breeze, your perfect Hvar moment starts here.”We would also like to point out that, in addition to meeting all legal requirements for a 3-star accommodation in Croatia, we provide several additional amenities and services that go far beyond what is required. These include: • Daily towel change, • Beach towels, • Multiple coffee machines (espresso, filter and French press), • Complimentary coffee, tea and kitchen essentials, • Streaming services such as Netflix, • And a wide selection of kitchen tools (e.g. lemon squeezer, ice maker). None of these extras are required by Croatian tourism legislation, but we offer them entirely out of goodwill and our desire to make our guests feel truly welcomed and cared for. We appreciate when guests recognize the added value of this approach.
