Hvar Away Anmeldelser 

One of the best companies on the island . Matt came on time , did excellent job ( air conditioner, tiles in the bathroom, stone / cement in the garden ,repairing locks ..) and left everything clean behind . We already have appointment for when I come back .

Matt was a pleasure to have working on my bathroom renovation. His ability to provide expert finish and with a very professional attitude towards the clients needs. I was also really impressed with his problem solving and he went all the way to make sure i was happy with the result, even it wasn't the quickest and easiest option for him. Cheerful and friendly. A real find in the building world on Hvar. Highly recommended!

Matt installed our AC this summer and did some handy work. He was just perfect. What else could I add???? Nothing except we highly recommend him.

Hvar Away Property Care Program, Handy Man … and so much more !
I can not begin to explain the difference it has made finding this service and the man behind it all -Matt .
I’d almost given up trying to get anybody to do anything on this island it’s been so difficult, so many let downs and disappointments!!! Then a friend put me in touch with the lady at Hvar Away - Elisha - wow an immediate response phone call… then zap an email with links to their website and all their services … I was stunned it all looked incredibly professional! … and low and behold a year later … I can tell you it is! - hooray from the roof tops.
After setting out what I needed “ The Man” arrived I say man; Matt is more like Arnold Swazenegger The terminator “Don’t worry I’ll be back” -
I don’t think there is anything he can’t do. He jet washed of years of grime and algae off my terrace, 50 m2 of stone slabbing, hand crafted a beautiful wooden pergola, table and seating, installed all the outside ambient lighting, he just keeps on going a one man machine !
I’ve now left them in charge of the monthly care and maintaince of the property, whenever I’m not there I no longer have to worry or even think about it, he just does everything from Aircon installation & maintenance to checking everything is safe secure and working down to the last tap, door lock and light bulb. When I return it’s all working clean and tip top. I almost don’t want to share Matt & Elisha with anybody else .. but that would not be fair ! I recommend you give them a call, sit back, relax and enjoy your free time 👍😁🙏

We have been on Hvar Away's property care program for over 18 months, including pool maintenance. Matt has also carried out numerous repair works identified from the property care visits, including: rewiring main fuse breakers/sockets as a result of burned main cable in our absence, replacing the boiler, air conditioning installation & servicing, chimney cleaning, roof repairs/broken tiles.

In all circumstances, the service has been exceptional and what feels like life-saving on an island where reliability is often questionable. Matt’s ability is second to none, and his knowledge and quality of work gives us confidence that things are being done to a high level of quality. He has often made his schedule work to help fix urgent issues and always turns up when he says he will.

There is nobody else on the island in our experience who can provide this level of service, communication and professionalism.

We would have been lost with all of our projects in our new-but-old Hvar home without Matt and Elisha! As other reviews make clear, Matt and Elisha are super-professional and responsible, pro-active and creative in a wide variety of "home solutions". Matt has installed half of a new kitchen for us, including a dishwasher; cleaned the roof and unblocked gutters; put in new air conditioning units (in the nick of time during this year's later summer heatwave!); poured concrete to make our garage more usable; and various other tasks that were beyond our own capabilities. And each task has been executed in a fully pre-costed and transparent manner, which is rarely the case with others here on Hvar...
We hate to think where we might be without this exceptional couple running Hvar Away, who are also highly friendly and personable as well! Bottom line is there is probably no home-related task that we would hesitate to ask them to carry out for us. A five-star rating in not only merited, but perhaps too low ;-)

We can full heartedly recommend Hvar Away. From the first meeting at our holiday home, Elisha and Matt came across as professional and dedicated. They had clearly done their research and knew the holiday home market on the island. They spent time really getting to know us and our ideas.

The most valuable aspect for us is Elisha and Matt’s reliability. They are available, proactive, and think ahead of issues you may have not thought about yourself – and whenever problems do arise, they provide a menu of solutions to choose from. The invoicing and record keeping is also impeccable and transparent.

Elisha and Matt’s professionalism and reliability is outstanding, and their offer of services was more comprehensive than what we saw elsewhere. They are also very friendly and easy to work with. We have no regrets choosing them as our business partners. When we are snowed under in our everyday life, we know that things are taken care of in Croatia and we don't need to chase anybody. This is invaluable!

Matt helped us with our air conditioning. He was very responsive and available quickly when needed.

Matt is highly professional, efficient, and competent. His sunny personality and physical appearance makes you feel like nothing is impossible for him – we feel that we can trust him not only for professional matters, but personally too. Matt speaks perfect English, understands/speaks Croatian, and makes good use of his local experience and connections/network on the island. He has the knowledge and skill to provide the services he promises, in addition to troubleshooting and aftercare on your project

Hvar Away manages our villa – and I can say that they are a great company. From the start, we felt that Elisha and Matt were trustworthy and professional. It’s given us such peace of mind to know that they are on-site with local knowledge, connections, and valuable experience.

We feel secure knowing we have reliable people looking out for our home, and it’s also exciting to see it generating more revenue than we could have anticipated. The Hvar Away team marketed our house with a beautiful website, photos, and lots of thoughtful touches for guests that must make them feel like they’re in a five star hotel. The result has been a fully booked calendar and consistently great reviews from guests, which always brings a smile.

Overall, we have been so impressed with Matt and Elisha’s initiatives and proactivity to make our villa shine at its full potential. In fact, we have invested into building another villa on the island which is currently under construction, and we hope to also be managed by Hvar Away upon completion.

I am a working mom with a toddler. I had ordered a bunch of furniture from Ikea, but could not find any time to assemble it. I called Matt and he SAVED THE DAY. He put everything together in just a few hours - perfectly assembled - and was so sweet and patient with my little boy who was fascinated by all of his tools. Calm, focused, cheerful, professional - this was by far the best experience I've ever had with a handyman. I 100% trust Matt's honesty and skill. He is pure gold.
