Don't expect much...
Apartment was walking distance from ferry pier if you don't have heavy bags, beware of extra tax per head not being mentioned before booking, kitchen and sitting room in attic so we hit our heads all the time... bath room can be more clean and tidy...a very basic apartment overall!

Sandra is very friendly!
A storm came in and Sandra had to have repair men come in, so we were unable to stay here. She arranged alternate rooming right down the street and walked us there to meet Teo. She was very friendly and helpful, and showed us some places and gave us some tips for Hvar along the way. The transition was very easy and we had not problems! We hope her rooms can be fixed soon, we would love to stay another time.

Apartment in excellent location of old town Hvar
We loved the location of the property. Within minutes we could walk into the centre of old town Hvar. We arrived by ferry with heavy luggage and Sandra collected us and drove us to the apartment Which was fantastic on the heat of the day. She also left us back when we were leaving. Sandra did a little laundry for us which I really appreciated. She recommended beaches and walking to the fort which was great.

Needs some TLC
I found the hostess Sandra to be very accommodating and helpful. When she saw how much luggage we had she offered us a room one floor lower so that we had less climbing to do. That was much appreciated. However the accommodation, especially the bathroom, needed work. The bathroom door did not close without slamming it. The shower basin was not properly fitted on the floor. The shower spray would not stay up on the holder. Also be aware that it is uphill from the main square.

Unique and awesome (if a bit cramped) housing
This is a very unique apartment in the northeast tower of the old city wall, with some rooms having awesome views of old town Split. The wifi worked well and the bedroom size was great. However, three bedrooms share one bathroom, and it does create a bit of a wait in the mornings and evenings. And the one bathroom has very very low slanting ceilings. I bumped my head no less than 15 times in the two-night stay. All in all, I'd stay here again given the cool-factor of the location and the price.

Nice apartment, friendly staff
This is a nice apartment with two good size bedrooms, bathroom and a small kitchen. Its nicely located just above Hvar town. There are a good few stairs to climb on the way up - but ring ahead and the owner will be able to drive you up / down from the bus station. Was very happy staying here for a few days with the family.

Lovely, clean and comfy apartment very close to centre of Hvar town but a 6 minute walk away so nice and quiet. Up a hill with lots of steps or up a slopey road, failry steep in parts, but we are fine, despite not being very fit. We really enjoyed our stay - great value.

Great service, awesome location
Really excellent service with a pick-up at the ferry!! It would have been a long walk and difficult to find if we did not get a ride. Only a 5min walk into the heart of Hvar town which made the accommodations very quiet at night (thankfully). Nice and affordable place for August rental and extra bed and room was an added bonus.

Helpful owner
Having been moved to an apartment with no balcony and right by busy road junction due to water damage in the apartment (prior to our arrival), we complained and on our second try the owner put us up in another property that was very nice. We were there for 3 nights before being moved back to the apartment we were supposed to be in in the first place (the damage having been repaired). This was acceptable but our holiday overall was spoiled by having to move 3 times in a week. Even the original apartment was not quite what we had expected from the description and we suggest you e-mail the owner direct to ensure you get what you want; he speaks excellent English and is very helpful. Villa Sandra can be accessed from the town without climbing steps and is close to the bus station.

Good apartments!
Stayed here for 3 nights. Rooms were very spacious with a massive bed. Had aircon and fans! Balconies had the sun all day! And nice sized kitchenette. Bathroom was not great - just a bit small with a shower curtain. Owners sometimes friendly. Great location only literally a 4 minute walk down the steps to the main town. Reasonable price too. Would stay again and recommend.

Excellent value accommodation
As others have said previously , there are steps ( many of them! ) to reach the appartment, but it is only some 400 yards from the bus station.As you enter the main square from the bus station, you will find a large church on the left hand side ( St. Stephanos I think)- just climb the steps behind the church, keep ascending, until you come to a "normal" road , then you should see the appartments. We were very pleased with the accommodation, ours was an appartment with kitchenette and also a sun trap balcony; the appartment was adequately furnished with good functionality throughout, and strong wifi in the appartment too.If you are visiting Hvar for the first time, do note the cataraman service to Hvar town harbour only operates in the main season, ( in 2013 from June 1st) otherwise you will ( presumably travelling from Split) need to take the ferry to Stalin Grad ferry terminal ( on a good day a serene 2 hour sail with splendid vistas) , then a laid on bus taking about 30 minutes to Hvar town.The village of Stalin Grad , about 2 miles from Stalin Grad ferry terminal is well worth a visit too.Overall, again, would strongly recommend the Sandra appartments for the value.

Helpful owners
Well appointed rooms with cooking facilities. The location is a good one above Hvar harbour. In theory this place should be extremely easy to find as it is just a half block off the main entry/exit road to Hvar, however the misleading Google map I had printed sent us off in the direction of a oneway street with no turning points. The people of Hvar cane to our rescue (reversed car) and supermarket kindly phoned sandra who sent her husband to guide us. The Croatians and particularly those from Hvar greatly impressed us with the kindness shown. Happy to recommend Villa Sandra.

Great choice in Hvar
Great apartment in Hvar old town, everything near by. We had a kitchen with oven and fridge, TV and A/C, good Wi-Fi reception. Walking distance to some small beach spots. We took a catamaran from Split to Hvar and you can walk up there from the dock in 5 min in the small narrow streets (many steps). In Croatia, you must pay cash (Euro or Kuna) for accommodation in apartments. There is a city tax as well to pay cash. Great choice.

Good clean - though, modest accomodation.
It is an acceptable 3 star apartment about 10 to 12 minutes from the town centre. On the way down to town, it might be OK but on the way back up again, you need to be fit for the stairs and the steep incline!

lovely stay
This private apartment was lovely. We had the two bedroom top floor apartment and it was located only a short (5-8 min) walk from the street level of Hvar Town. The owner was nice enough to pick us up when we arrived and drop us our bags when we left. The rooms were big and nice. Air con and fans. The bathroom and kitchen were great too.

Excellent apartment in amazing city!
The Villa Sandra was perfect for our getaway. It would be perfect for anyone's. Perched on the hillside on a quiet street just off the main highway into Hvar Town the apartment building only has a few units and the proprietor lives on site. Parking is easy, either paid/reserved or on the street and there is a market just a few streets away. Our unit was a 2-bedroom with a kitchen and was clean and comfortable. The beds could be a little softer but it didn't matter--everything else was amazing. We had two balconies and no view but some units have a view. The location was just far enough from the center of town (the marina) that it was quiet at night but after a 5 minute walk down the hill you are in the center of it all. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Great for any occasion, singles or couples.

Good for group of 4
Was a nice place to stay although we lost power for a couple of hours on the 1st night. As per our neighbours in the other room they said it had happened the night before as well, something to do with a fire which had occured. Nothing was mentioned to us upon arrival and when my sister went down to speak with the owner his wife arrived at the door and wasn't overly concerned with the situation which seems silly as we were paying quite a bit of money. The male owner was lovely though and picked us up and dropped us off at the bus stop which helped as we had quite a bit of luggage. Overall would recommend it but would have been nice to have known about the possibility of power going out and maybe provided candles.

We loved Hvar!!
We had such an amazing holiday in Hvar, it was the perfect combination.. beautiful place, bit of cultural surroundings, loads of nice places to chill, beach is beautiful, but come nighttime there are great (and cheapish) places to drink and eat. We met some really fun people whilst holidaying there, We plan to go back every year. Forget Ibiza and the million pound drinks, Croatia is the place to go. Villa Sandra was great, 5 minutes out of the busy town which we really liked and the owners are really nice and helpful. The neighbours even look out for you. We plan to go back for sure. The only thing I would say is that the kitchen was quite small (just two hobs and no oven) and the apartment was not cleaned at all while we were there, we were 3 messy girls on a party holiday and after 4 days it could have done with a clean..and new towels. If they introduced this into the package I could not fault the service. WE HEART HVAR x

Highly recommended
Comfortable, light and airy room in a good location just a few minutes walk from the town centre in one direction and small beach in the other. Very hilly all around so would be difficult for people with mobility problems but then that applies to Havr in general. In particular, we must mention the kindness of the owner, who arranged for my partner to see a Doctor during our stay as she'd been ill for several days. We felt our stay was very good value given the generally high prices on the island in peak season, and would have no hesitation in returning.

Great hotel, great location, nice proprietor, but terrible temperature control
We accidentally booked this hotel for the wrong nights. We booked it for the two night before we actually arrived. Thankfully the proprietor was very understanding, he both had an apartment available for us and did not double charge us for the nights that we missed. The hotel is a house with several apartments that are rented at a daily rate. The size and quality well exceed the price. The location is great, although the lack of street signs made it difficult to find. Thankfully we speak Croatian and were able to ask locals where we could find the house. Tip on finding the place, when you enter the city from the direction of Stari Grad, head straight through the first intersection to the 4th house on the right--do not head down the hill. We did, however, have temperature control issues. Unfortunately the island of Hvar had a cold snap in mid-October. It was in the 30's overnight and the apartment was freezing. We had to put our infant son in the kitchen underneath the only heater and boil water on the stove in order to warm up the room before bedtime and in the morning. I cannot speak for the Air Condtioner as we did not use it.

Great price and location
Travelers looking for a simple clean and practical appartment, this is the place to stay. Although it was a little difficult to find, it was very convenient not to be located close to the restaurants and bars which can be quite noisy in the evening. The appartment was about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the center of Hvar.

Some problems, but overall good
The room was big, spacious and comfortable and the host is very nice. The problems I had wererelated to the wifi, that varied between a slow connection and no connection at all, and to the temperature of the shower, that was warm at the beginning of the day but, towards the night, we had to take cold showers. Despite that, the location is great and me and my friends were very satisfied with the place.
