Villa Features
Completed in June 2024 after five years of meticulous planning and construction, Villa Ceto is a brand-new property located on a prime site, ensuring that everything you need for your holiday is within walking distance. While Hvar Town is only a 15-minute drive away, you may find little need to venture beyond Stari Grad.
The villa masterfully blends modern and traditional design elements, creating a space that captures the best of both worlds. A testament to the creativity of the local architectural studio, Morpharos, Villa Ceto’s design highlights the careful attention to detail, ensuring that every corner of the property maximizes the natural beauty of the location. The villa provides exceptional facilities for all guests, whether extended families or groups of friends.
The villa has 272m2 of interior space, with two large roof terraces and a spacious loggia. The entire plot spans across 1100m2.
Villa Ceto has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, all opening directly onto a large veranda, which flows seamlessly into the Mediterranean garden, complete with olive trees, lush plants, and a stunning 40m2 heated pool. The pool, equipped with a “sitting shelf”, is maintained through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for chemicals. Nearby, a large concrete table seating 10 and a barbecue pit invite outdoor dining, and there is also an outdoor shower with both hot and cold water.
The four main bedrooms are identical in size, each offering panoramic sea views through French windows. Each room has two single beds that can be separated or combined into a large double bed, and each features walk-in showers with dual basins. The fifth bedroom also has two single beds and can be used independently or as part of a family suite, with its own standalone bathroom featuring a bathtub and an outdoor al fresco shower.
A stunning chapel-style section of the villa is accessible after ascending around 20 steps from the ground floor. This bright, airy space is fully glazed with retractable windows that open to reveal mesmerizing sea views. It includes an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with a round table seating 10. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine lounge, offering more fantastic views and cozy sofas for TV watching or simply enjoying the scenery.
Two spacious roof terraces flank the chapel section. One terrace enjoys natural shade, while the other features a gazebo with a dining table for 10 and a professional electric barbecue. Every outdoor area is equipped with comfortable furniture, including loungers, tables, and chairs, providing plenty of spaces to relax and soak up the beauty of your surroundings.
At the back of the villa there are two smaller rooms, one a laundry room with a washing machine, the other a storage room where you can leave things from the beach.
While Villa Ceto is designed to remain naturally cool, each room is also equipped with ceiling fans and air conditioning. The bedrooms feature professional-grade mosquito nets, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.
The villa is just a short walk from local swimming coves, beaches, and beach bars, as well as the shops, restaurants, and bars in the heart of Stari Grad. The surrounding area is ideal for walking and cycling, with beautiful landscapes to explore. However, Villa Ceto itself is so comfortable and visually appealing that you may find yourself wanting to stay in and relax. The thoughtful design, warm materials, and cozy furniture create an atmosphere that invites relaxation and serenity.
Located on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, according to Conde Nast Traveler (https://www.cntraveler.com/galleries/2014-10-20/top-30-islands-in-the-world-readers-choice-awards-2014), Villa Ceto offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat with easy access to the best of Hvar.
