About The Fontana Resort

Overlooking the sea, Fontana is a small, budget resort with two pools, a kid’s club, restaurant, and tennis courts. It is an easy ten-minutes from the gem-like little town of Jelsa and twenty minutes from the equally charming port village of Vrboska. Here are the strengths that inspired us to partner:

  • All of Fontana's apartments have a terrace, living room, kitchen or kitchenette, dedicated workspaces, and storage. They are better suited to multi-week stays than a typical hotel room or even many upscale vacation rentals.

  • Our coworking space and classroom will be at the resort, just a few meters from the apartments. Fontana sits on the sea (pictured above). A bike path leads to more beaches and two towns with amenities and entertainment. Of course, other Field School families are just next door for easy play dates, sleepovers, and outings.

  • Weekly cleaning and a change of linens are included in the price. The hotel also offers a pool, kid’s club, restaurant, tennis courts, laundry service. There is a 24/7 on-site concierge for bike, car, and off-road rentals. They can also help with other needs, including any questions concerning your unit.

  • Fontana is an older resort. It is not a luxury property. But being a bit “vintage” lends the hotel a nostalgic charm and mature pine trees offer welcome shade.

  • Fontana is affordable. Basic studio apartments cost as little as €925/month. A newly renovated two-bedroom apartment is at most €164/night. These are excellent prices for Hvar, one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean.

The Fontana Resort will be a great choice for most Field School participants, but not all. Large families may want more bedrooms than Fontana offers. Some groups may want newer or more luxurious accommodations. Still other families already have homes or relatives on Hvar and don’t need a place to stay. We understand that every family is unique and housing is particularly hard to standardize, which is why staying at Fontana is an option rather than a requirement.
