Peaceful and secluded Retreat House Kod Kapetana is surrounded by stunning nature and has an amazing view. Our beautiful house was built in 1903, by my grandfather and renovated in 2020, with an intention to serve as a retreat to guests who respect nature, enjoy the beautiful views, and need some peaceful and meaningful time away. The property has a free parking area. Our property features two completely detached apartments. This apartment is secluded from the other apartment with its private entrance, private outdoor grill and private patio area that includes outdoor dining area, pool table and sunbeds. This area calls for beautiful and peaceful sunset views. It features 1 separate bedroom with an attached bathroom and a separate entrance right next to it that also has a kitchen and a bedroom upstairs with an attached bathroom. This is a perfect apartment for 2 couples or parents with 2 children. The apartment can accommodate four people, it is completely air-conditioned and features an equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and a kettle. There is a seating area in the kitchen as well. It also has a direct path to our garden area where you can unwind, relax, and enjoy our property and the richness of our island. There is also a saltwater pool available for you where we provided more sunbeds and large patio umbrellas to allow you to rest in that area throughout the whole day. As you enjoy the pool area, you can also see the sunset and the sea and other islands. Our house is on the topmost part of the hill so you will also have a village view as well.

We are a family who owns a restaurant in Hvar and who decided to restore our beautiful family house and share it with you. We are outgoing and friendly & want you to experience Hvar at its best. Our family is large, and we like good people, food, wine, nature, sport, kids and pets! During 1960 and 70's, the small village of Grablje was one of the biggest producers of lavender and generated around 3% of the world lavender production. As the generations grew older, there was more interest in tourism and a few bush fires destroyed the lavender business. At that time, our family moved to Hvar to be closer to the city. However, this house was always our safe place, a place where childhood memories and the magic of nature mixed to create meaningful memories. Almost everything you find here is family owned or bought from people who shared special love for these items. My wife carved her love into decorating this property and making it feel like home away. My wife’s father was a Croatian singer Toma Bebic who criticized the urban life and talked about going back to nature and bettering our life harmony. As such, you will find some beautiful items that her family owned and that have a special energy and meaning for us as a family. Let us know if there is anything you need, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful stay. We are also proud owners of a lovely seafood restaurant called Kod Kapetana. We would be delighted to create a tasting menu & have our chef cook for you in the house per your request. Our restaurant serves only traditional dishes and fresh fish as we developed a special connection with the locals. As a family, we aspire to make this house ecologically friendly and efficient, and our solar panels are a part of that project. We are currently working on making a small vineyard which would enable us to make our own wine, reserved only for our guests and locals. Let us know if there is anything you need, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful stay.

Our property is located in the eco-etno village of Velo Grablje. Velo Grablje has multiple trails and roads that you can enjoy during your stay. A few of the trails with take you to the most amazing views of our island and the coast. Velo Grablje is an Eco-Etno village traditionally know for lavender festivals and very lovely and friendly locals that will make your stay even more beautiful. Velo Grablje has around 10 residents, a post office, a church, and a lavender distillery right next to our house. This village was one of the largest producers of lavender in the 70's and was producing around 3% of the world's lavender. After three bushfires, the residents decided to rely more on the other products and give more attention to tourism so most of them moved to city of Hvar. Nowadays, there is more and more lavender being planted as the locals seek to relive their village and preserve tradition. There is a nice local restaurant only 15 minutes’ walk away. The area is known to be one of the biggest producers of lavenders. The village is also rich with herbs such as rosemary, oregano, immortelle and similar.
