Small hotel & restaurant · island of Vis
Open the shutters. The sea is right below.
Twelve rooms in a restored stone house right on the shore, a restaurant on the terrace above the cove, and hosts who reply to you personally. Book direct: no middlemen, and breakfast is included.
The House
An old stone house, twelve rooms and one quiet cove.
Fishermen built the house about a hundred years ago, from stone quarried right behind it. We restored it slowly, side by side with local craftsmen: the walls are still thick and cool, the shutters still green, and the beams in the attic are the original ones.
Today it's a small family-run hotel with twelve rooms, a restaurant on the terrace and a view of the islet across the water. No entertainment programme and no music until midnight. Just the sea, the pines and dinners that last as long as you like.

Guest notes
What our guests write to us once they're home.
We sent our enquiry at midnight and had a reply before breakfast. On the ferry there was already a message with the exact transfer time. From then on, we didn't have to think about a thing.
“Grilled sardines and a glass of Vugava while the sun went down behind the islet. We ate like that four evenings in a row and never once wanted to go anywhere else.”
Thomas, Munich “The rooms aren't big, but they're exactly like the photos: stone, white bedding and shutters you open onto the sea in the morning. We didn't need anything more.”
Ivana, Osijek “With two small children, we were worried the trip to the island would be complicated. Our hosts sent us the ferry timetable and a list of beaches with shallow water before we left, and the kitchen was happy to cook simpler dishes for the little ones.”
Sanne, the Netherlands “Peaceful, with no noise and no crowds. We took a kayak from right outside the hotel and paddled ourselves to the caves round the headland. The best day of our summer.”
Jakob, Vienna
The Restaurant
Dinner on the terrace, as the sun sinks behind the islet.
Our kitchen cooks whatever came off the boat and out of the garden that morning: fish from the grill, Vis flatbread pie, vegetables from the neighbouring fields and wine from the island's vineyards.

Breakfast on the terrace
Bread from our own oven, island cheese and prosciutto, figs, home-made jam and eggs just the way you like them. Included with every direct booking.
The Island
Vis is best taken slowly, one cove at a time.
One of the most remote inhabited islands in the Adriatic: hidden coves, vineyards and fishing villages without the crowds. We'll gladly help you find them.
By kayak to the sea caves
Kayaks and gear are waiting outside the hotel. Half an hour along the coast brings you to caves and rocks you can swim right into.
By boat to the Blue Cave
A full-day trip to Biševo and hidden coves with a local skipper, with lunch on board.
Swimming in peace
We'll show you coves you can only reach on foot, with no sun loungers and no crowds.
Sunset from Hum
From the island's highest peak you can see the whole archipelago. It's about a twenty-minute drive.
Vugava and Plavac
Wine tasting with family winemakers in the island's interior, with cheese and home-cured olives.
Fishing villages
Stone houses, little harbours and family restaurants along the waterfront. The evening stroll guests most often go back for.

Getting Here
The island is closer than you think.
Your journey to us starts at Split harbour. Before you arrive, we send you the current timetable and arrange your transfer, so there's nothing for you to worry about.
Car ferry from Split
In season, the ferry to Vis leaves Split harbour several times a day. You can bring your car or leave it in Split.
By catamaran
The faster way, without a car. The catamaran docks on the waterfront in Vis, where we'll be waiting for you.
Transfer to the hotel
Free for guests who book direct. A short drive through the vineyards down to our cove.
From Split Airport
Take a taxi or the bus to the ferry port. We're happy to help you time your flight with the boat.

FAQ
Before you book.
Answers to the questions guests ask us most often.
No. We meet you off the ferry, and for trips around the island we can arrange a taxi, a scooter or an e-bike. The sea is twenty metres from the house and the restaurant is on our own terrace.
Once we've confirmed a room is free, we send you a link to pay a 30% deposit by card, or our details for a bank transfer. You pay the rest when you arrive.
Cancel up to 14 days before arrival and we refund your deposit in full. If you cancel later, you can use the deposit for another stay this season or next.

Very much so. We set up a cot and a high chair free of charge, and the Suite with Bathtub and the Room Under the Beams have space for an extra bed.
Yes, in two of our rooms, if you let us know in advance. The supplement is €15 per night.
Yes, by reservation. There are only twelve tables on the terrace, so for sunset we recommend booking the day before.
The house is old and has stairs. The classic room on the ground floor has just one step at the entrance and a level-access shower. Get in touch and we'll work out together whether it's right for you.
