Villa Skansi

Hvar's biggest hostel has brightly coloured dorms, fancy bathrooms, a great terrace with sea views, a bar, a book exchange and a laundry service, and rents scooters and boats. The pleasant but overpriced private rooms are in a separate block next door, surrounded by citrus trees, pomegranates and bougainvillea. Plus there are barbecues or pub crawls every night.
