Accommodations
Our Campus
The Field School of Hvar is housed in The Fontana, a small, nostalgic resort located directly on the sea, ten minutes by foot from the bucolic town of Jelsa. Our coworking lounge and learning center are located at the Fontana, and most families stay in the resort’s rental apartments, although they don’t have to. The combination of proximity, privacy, and safety that the resort offers creates the atmosphere of a family coliving village and has been one of the most beloved aspects of the program. The resort also has two pools, a kid’s club, a gym, restaurant, and tennis courts. Here are a few of the resort’s merits:
-
Every apartment has a terrace, living room with fold-out couch, kitchen or kitchenette, desk, and storage. They are larger than comparable vacation apartments and hotel rooms.
-
The Fontana has a knowledgeable local concierge working 24/7. Car, bike, ATV, and SUP rental are available on site. Because the resort is so walkable, no car is needed, although free parking is provided.
-
The group rates available to Field families at Fontana are very affordable for Hvar, one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean.
The Field School of Hvar draws on the beauty of our island in many ways. The town of Jelsa is the perfect playground for our community. Extremely safe and mostly car-free, the riva or seaside promenade is full of children selling shells and crafts in the summertime. There are mini-discos, a trampoline, and a playground in the town’s large park. Several gelato parlors surround the piazza for late night scoops or apertivo. Jelsa is a vibrant, strongly family-oriented village, with a lively calendar of concerts, festivals, art happenings, and outdoor cinema in the summer. It also features several amenities like an emergency room and health clinic, modern grocery stores, beaches and walking paths, a post office, local produce, boutiques, a lovely library, and a packed Catholic church, for those who observe.
The Coworking Lounge and Learning Center
Our Coworking Lounge and Learning Center are large, open-plan rooms overlooking the sea, with floor to ceiling windows. They are located across a foyer from each other in the Fontana resort, so pick-up and drop-off are only a few minutes away from the office.
The Coworking Lounge has reliable internet for normal professional use, as well as a printer. It does not have private call spaces, but all apartments at the Fontana have one desk per bedroom.
In the summer, there is a cafe downstairs, as well as a pool, walking trails, and the beach, should parents want to pause for a quick chat or refuel. Adults sometimes also enjoy exploring the island by hotspot.
Our program for children takes place primarily outdoors, but the Learning Center remains our hub for daily meetings, crafts, tools, and books.
