Rental of the Week: Villa Jagodna, Ivan Dolac

While the most popular tourist destination on the island is Hvar Town, with its stunning Venetian architecture, vibrant nightlife and access to the Pakleni Islands, the southern beach resorts of Zavala, Ivan Dolac and Sveta Nedjejla offer a more laid-back experience, for people more interested in beaches, sea views and some peace and quiet.

There is a range of accommodation available in and around these villages, but one that is hard to beat is Villa Jagodna.  Sleeping ten, the villa offers commanding sea views, a small pool and a tranquil setting to enable you to relax and recharge your batteries.

Check out the slideshow below for more pictures, or go to the Hvar Tourisik website for more information about the villa, its availability and pricing.
