Villa Nora

(Hvar) The The Villa Nora is a new hotel situated in the middle of Hvar old town, enclosed by the 14th century walls with fortifications towering above the city. 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 feel the atmosphere of ancient mediaeval Hvar. This ancient Palace, built in the XIV century, once the rich and magnificent residence of the aristocratic family Gazzari, has been completely restored as the elegant and refined Hotel Villa Nora.

At the Villa Nora you can enjoy the mediaeval atmosphere of the old town whilst relaxing in rooms furnished to a high-quality. 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.
