The channel between Brač and Hvar has a steady afternoon wind in summer, which makes Bol one of the best-known windsurfing spots in the Adriatic. Schools and rental centres line the coast towards Zlatni Rat.
At 778 metres, the highest peak of all the Adriatic islands rises right behind Bol. Hike or drive to the top for views over Zlatni Rat, Hvar and, on clear days, Vis and the coast.
Stone houses, narrow streets and the harbour promenade, with cafés, konobas and the evening passeggiata. Five minutes' walk from the apartments.
Founded in the 15th century on the Glavica peninsula east of the harbour, with a church, a small museum and a peaceful garden by the sea.
Above the village of Murvica, the Dragon's Cave holds mysterious medieval carvings (guided visits only). Further west, the Blaca hermitage clings to a steep valley, reached on foot or by boat.
Besides Zlatni Rat, pebble beaches and coves line the coast on both sides of Bol, with clear water and shade under the pines. The nearest beach is about 15 minutes' walk from the house.
Brač is known for its olive oil, lamb and the Plavac Mali wines of the south coast. Taste them at the wineries and konobas of Bol, a few of them just around the corner from the house.
From Bol harbour, excursion boats and water taxis go to quiet coves, to Blaca and across to the island of Hvar.
