Bol apartment home

Situated in a quiet, residential part of Bol, just five to 10 minutes' walk from the centre of the village, is Gospe od Sniga 4 (Our Lady of the Snow). The famous and much-photographed Zlatni Rat (golden horn) beach is approximately 20 minutes' walk away. This is the ground floor apartment of an original old stone house built approximately 150 years ago. Renovation has been carried out by local craftsmen to extremely high specification. The apartment consists of an open-plan kitchen and living area supplemented by a modern shower room with wash basin and wc. There is a double bedroom and a double sofabed in the living area giving a capacity of four persons.

Bol is a quite unique location and probably one of the most desirable holiday destinations in Croatia. It is the home of the most famous - and most photographed - beach in Croatia: Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn). Bol is also the oldest settlement on the island of Brac. The central part of the village is built mainly of stone of local origin but there are more modern buildings on the outskirts of the village and modern hotels are discreetly hidden among the pine trees between the village and Zlatni Rat.

Bol is linked to the mainland (Split) by a once-a-day catamaran service which leaves Bol early in the morning (6.30 am) and returns at 5 pm (leaving Split at 4 pm). This is definitely the most convenient method of accessing Bol from the mainland, taking only one hour. Other methods are car ferry from Split-Supetar-Split (one hour) and then taxi (35 minutes) or local bus service(one hour). There is an airport just outside Bol with services from Zagreb and other European locations. Apparently, a private plane can be hired from Split Airport to Bol!

There are several local beaches in the village which are very picturesque and offer a very different atmosphere to the popular Zlatni Rat. Zlatni Rat can be accessed via a pine covered tiled walkway from the village (approximately 20 minutes stroll). In season there are frequent ferries from the village harbour to Zlatni Rat and a land train which runs to and from the seafront in the village to the beach.
