About Villa Nora

The Villa Nora is a charming hotel situated in the middle of Hvar's old town. The hotel is surrounded by tiny streets favoured during the island’s history by artists and adventurers searching for their inspiration, it is framed by old palaces built in Gothic and Renaissance architecture. These surroundings and the charm of the hotel itself will allow you soak up the atmosphere of mediaeval Hvar. This 14th century palace was once the magnificent residence of the aristocratic Gazzari family. It has been completely restored as the elegant Hotel Villa Nora.

At the Villa Nora you can enjoy the mediaeval atmosphere of the old town. The most distinguished member of the Gazzari family was Marin Gazarovic, writer and composer of dramatic poems and lyrics, who was born in 1575 in the house which is today Villa Nora. In 2006 an inscription was placed on the outside wall of the palace to remember the street where the famous artist was born.

Facilities

The restaurant Lucullus has been open in Hvar town from many years now and is justly famous for its typical dishes and high quality cuisine. For dinner you can try some traditional specialties of Hvar island: goat with potatoes cooked in a brick oven, cheese with capers and olive oil, carpaccio of fish, langoustine soup, mussels and many more delights. The “imperator” (as they call him in Hvar) Antun Matkovic, prepares meals under his great cook's rule: “no food is good if the cook preparing does not use his fingers and his weight is not over a hundred kilos”.

Reviews

"The itinerary was well thought out, giving us plenty of time at each location. The shining star was Villa Nora in Hvar Town. The location was perfect. Rosa was there most of our stay. She insisted on coming to the parking lot to help with our luggage. She took care of the heavier things, leaving us little totes to carry. She was the cook & housekeeper, too! Her grandmother even did our laundry and didn't want us to pay. "

"Villa Nora deserves special praise for the accommodation, excellent staff and amazing breakfast. Other hotels could learn a lot from their approach and the quality of their breakfast."

"The service at Hotel Villa Nora, Hvar was outstanding and best experienced. It was very personalised and Manager Natalie organised a highlight of our trip, a boat tour to Blue Cave etc at a discount rate for Hotel guests. "

"All went very smoothly. A beautiful country to visit and its people are very helpful and friendly. The notes provided by Andy were very informative. We took our own satnav and I think we would have struggled without it. Enjoyed all the hotels and the staff were all very friendly and helpful but particularly liked the hotels in Trogir and Hvar. Both of us were very happy with this holiday experience."

"We spent a lot of time planning our honeymoon trip with Rediscover to make our perfect trip. There was a lot of email correspondence, a lot of questions from us and a lot of patience from Andy and Dawn. We valued their advice on accommodation etc and in the end it all worked out perfectly. The documentation we received covered everything and was very detailed so we knew exactly where we had to be and when. This is what we wanted as we didn't want to think about much on our honeymoon. All of the transfers ..."

"Brilliant place, lovely people, great location, a class act. Nora was just up the alley from the main square and a pleasant stroll to the restaurants ; They have their own car park some distance from the hotel, but they will come out to pick up your bags and walk you back to the place which you would probably have difficulty finding on your own."

M Fenner, UK, July, 2017

"We also stayed in Dubrovnik which was great. The hotel was not really our taste but it was efficient and very clean and food good. A 20 min walk into old town which was fine by us but some people may not be so keen! Overall the holiday was great, sadly we had a lot of heavy rain but still got enough sun to enjoy a day on the beach off Hvar. The hotel in Hvar was absolutely fantastic and they were incredibly friendly and helpful, definately our favourite. Transfers were great and everyone very friendly. ..."

D Goodin, UK, October 2016

"Thank you very much for helping us to enjoy a most memorable family holiday. We all enjoyed every bit of this trip and we will most definitely contact you again when planning our next trip. We were very happy with five of the six hotels we stayed in. Bad weather for three of the last four days of our trip restricted the number of activities we could do in Hvar and Dubrovnik, especially missing out on the green and blue grotto's around the island of Vis was quite disappointing for the children. Not ..."
