My sunset.
My Hvar.

Carlos does — in person. He or a member of his team meets you at the door, hands over the keys, walks you through the home, and stays a message away for the whole stay. Born on the island, three years hosting, Superhost from the first season. You're not dealing with a call centre in another country. You're dealing with the person whose name is on the door.

Something else. We keep a small, private collection of homes we actually know — not a listings wall. Carlos already manages these properties on the ground, so the person recommending the villa is the same person who'll be there when you arrive. One point of contact, start to finish.

As much or as little as you like. A boat for the morning, a table at the restaurant that doesn't take bookings, the fridge stocked before you land, a private chef, an airport or speedboat transfer. Tell Carlos what kind of days you want and they're set up before you set foot on Hvar.

You message Carlos, agree the dates and the home, and pay through a secure, structured process — a deposit to confirm, the balance before arrival, never an informal transfer to a stranger. Clear terms, one accountable person, the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

You message, and it's handled. A late arrival, a question, the small fix that always comes up somewhere in a stay — this is the part guests remember. Being looked after by someone who lives here is the whole point of booking with us instead of a screen.

Yes. Villa del Mar sleeps sixteen and has hosted weddings, milestone birthdays and private gatherings; the smaller homes suit couples and families. Whatever the occasion, Carlos and his team shape the details around it. Tell us what you're planning.
