Property details

  • The place to visit: The island of Brač is often named as one of the best places in Croatia to holiday, and the southern resort of Bol is a great place to stay. Enjoy views over the pretty town’s terracotta roofs and sun-baked stone houses from a tucked-away setting, a five-minute walk from the pretty seafront where there’s an atmospheric marina and a collection of restaurants.

  • Mediterranean charm: The hotel has been open for over 30 years, with welcoming staff providing great insider intel on what to see and do on the island. Take a stroll through the garden, retire to the terrace and order a refreshing drink, and relax – you can’t get more elegant than that.

  • Wake up well: After a good night’s sleep, wake up in your stylish bedroom in homely and comfortable surroundings. Each of the rooms and suites is beautifully decked out in upscale furnishings and features modern amenities to improve your stay. Head down to breakfast and enjoy a delicious buffet spread of homemade cakes, fresh fruit and cooked options.

How to get there

The hotel is found within the town of Bol on the southern coast of the island of Brač. To reach Brač, drive from Split Airport to either Split or Makarska and catch a ferry to the island (the ports of Milna in the west or Sumartin in the east). The entire journey should take roughly three hours, and we recommend hiring a car to make the land portion of your journey smoother.

Villa Giardino Heritage Boutique Hotel, Novi put 2, 21420, Bol, Croatia

Boasting 2,700 hours of sun a year, Brač is Dalmatia's most sun-drenched island and the perfect setting for a truly tranquil escape from it all. Fragrant pine forests and olive trees cover the landscape with lush greenery, while the vivid, turquoise Adriatic laps on its shores. The picturesque seaside town of Bol sits on the southern coast and is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Mediterranean, Zlatni Rat (the Golden Horn), which is constantly changing direction due to the ocean currents. The dazzling white-pebble affair is Croatia's most photographed beach.

Elsewhere, hikers will love climbing Vidova Gora, the highest peak on the Adriatic islands, while those looking for a spot of sightseeing will love exploring the island's main town of Supetar, where must-dos include strolling along the promenade into the town’s historic centre and bustling harbour, from which you can get a ferry to Split on the mainland. Here you can see the impressive buildings of the capital of Dalmatia, including the wonderfully preserved UNESCO-listed Diocletian's Palace, which dates back to the 3rd century A.D.
