The attic studio apartment is noted for its spaciousness and cleanliness, with roof windows adding to an airy feel. Guests should be aware of church bells ringing early in the morning.
“Studio apartman- potkrovlje vrhunski uređeno, što u starim kamenim kućama nije lako izvesti i održavati. Sve besprijekorno čisto i uredno, kupaonica top, prostora i više nego dovoljno za komodan boravak, nimalo skučeno. Krovni prozori pridonose osjećaju prozračnosti i čistoće.”
“Though Vbroska itself is far from Hvar town, the place was close to the bus stop. Highly recommend getting getting the bus schedule beforehand. Taxis are expensive. Petra was super helpful with all of my questions and helped me find my way after the taxi dropped me off in the wrong place. A small market and a couple of restaurants close by. The kitchen was very well-equipped! Bathroom was great and had a washing machine. I definitely think Vbroska is worth staying while in Hvar, especially if you have a car rental.”
“There was nothing we didn’t like but, fair warning- it is merely meters away from the church bells which ring at 6 AM on the dot 😂”
