    Location at the "top of the hill" few hundreds meters from harbour. Not a minus but you should prepare to climb a bit. Just as a hint: There's no reception and room keys are available backside of the building and downstairs where cleaners have their "office" ☺️

    Spacious and clean rooms with balcony and cooking facilities. Nice pool area.

    The location is at the very end of town and is a very steep climb all the way as we were on foot. We also had a lot of ants in our apartment. We chose a ground floor but wouldn’t do this again. The bedroom was really warm as the air on is only in the living room area but this seems to be a recurring theme in Croatia. We were in 5 different locations and this was a problem in all of them as it made sleeping uncomfortable.

    The pool and outdoor area were really nice and were a real bonus as the weather was hotter than normal, we had been to several locations previous during this trip with no pools.

    Location was okay as we are young and healthy however its probably the highest you could be up the mountain. Very Very steep hills if arriving on a ferry with luggage, dread the walk home after a belly full of food and drink from the town.

    Lovely pool to use which was a suntrap and very quiet.

    Little hike up to the apartment but nice views from the top.

    Very well equipped apartment suitable for a long stay. Very spacious and comfortable. Patio was nice and the pool is a added bonus too. Staff while not based on site were very attentive and could meet you on site for your arrival. They also offered to hold our bags down by the dock which was extremely helpful after we checked out before our ferry.

    The pool was a little... cloudy. It didn't seem to bother the children swimming in it. We hadn't planned on spending much time around the pool area, but did go up one afternoon after being the beach all day. Decided not to swim in it. You can hear people in the other rooms. We knew this was going to happen so wasn't a big deal. We had some lads next to us for a few nights and they liked to party - until 6am. We were more impressed with their stamina (!) than annoyed at hearing them. Out of the 11 nights we stayed, they were the only few nights that we had out sleep interrupted. Not a big issue to us, but mentioning in case this is something that could ruin your stay.

    We had a one bedroom apartment on the top floor - amazing views across to Hvar. We could also see Zlatni Rat in the distance. Our apartment was clean and the kitchen was well equipped enough make ourselves breakfast each day. Whenever we did encounter any problems with the room the staff on had sorted things out very quickly. The room was definitely big enough for a couple. Bed were twin beds pushed together, and were very comfortable. Air con kept the room nice and cool - and it was 36 degrees when we were staying there so much needed! Also in the room was a table that seated 4, a sofa/pullout bed and table/chairs for two on the balcony. On arrival our phone map sent us on the quickest route to walk to apartment, but this is also the steepest. There are a few other ways up and down, lovely little walks that add on a few minutes, but make the trek back up a little easier. It can be a heavy walk back up in the heat, but we clocked that as our exercise for the day (= more gelato, wine, etc) and there was always a breeze on our balcony. Zlatni rat is 20-30 minute walk away. And a really lovely walk. We only swam there once, preferring the coves to the east of the harbor. Harbor is a short walk, and it is absolutely beautiful. So many postcard images in one place. And places to eat/drink.And so clean - no litter and rubbish like you have elsewhere. Lots of pride taken in this little community. Oh, Fishermans Market on a Wednesday night- the harbor side fills with people selling cooked seafood from their stalls Delicious seafood and a festival vibe!

    The towels where dirty when we got there, the pool didn’t seem very clean and when we asked for a fan they never brought one. It’s also on a very steep hill although it is close to the centre of bol.

    The pool was lovely to have outside the apartments and it looks the same as it does online. It had a good shower and kitchen utensils

    The mattresses and sofa bed were not very comfortable and the pool closes very soon 7pm.

    The views from the apartment are amazing and the swimming pool area is fantastic. Also, the location es quite good, although it is in the upper part, it just is 400 meters to the center (15 min).

    Would have liked a few more basics like oil, salt and pepper and sugar, as we had to buy large of all of these, same with clothes cleaning softener.

    Amazing views, short but steep walk to Bol centre, great having balcony and pool, and also a rack to dry clothes on!

    A small drawback is the fold-out sofa in the living room - only the wife was able to fold it :) The pool should be open until at least 8 pm:)

    Property on the hill overlooking the sea and the island of Hvar. Strong steep climb :) but for health and calories burned it is ok :) The pool is clean. We spent 10 days here, the children were very pleased. The town of Bol is very nice, great restaurants.

We also had some worms inside. Because of that they should do some cleaning
