Hvar Island, Croatia
Press Reviews
The Observer, June 2009
"The largest of the Pakleni Islands, which lie a short boat-taxi
ride from the island of Hvar, Sveti Klement boasts sandy coves and
pine-backed beaches and the picturesque hamlet of Palmizana where a
clutch of elegant villas lie surrounded by pine forest. The
Meneghello family have lived on Sveti Klement since the 19th
century, creating a lushly beautiful botanic garden along with
villas, bungalows and a renowned restaurant."
The Guardian, February 2009
"Glitzy Hvar is Croatia's celebrity magnet. It's here that the
moneyed dock their mega yachts, stepping ashore to strut the town's
pale marble promenade. But 10 minutes away courtesy of a private
speedboat, lies the island paradise of Palmizana and Pansion
Meneghello whose bungalows and two restaurants are tucked around
200m of sandy beach. A botanical haven, the thick Mediterranean
pines, palms and fragrant eucalyptus that cover the island were
planted a century ago by Eugenio Manghello, the grandfather of the
current owners."
The Independent, July 2008
"The Meneghello family has run its Palmizana resort on the island
of Sveti Klement, near Hvar, for more than a century. Now they have
opened this luxury villa on the island of Hvar itself. Rent one of
a pair of three-bedroom apartments, or get a larger group together
and splurge on the whole villa. It is set in a lush, private garden
complete with swimming pool, hammocks and everything else you need
for a tranquil holiday."
