The Boutique Hotel Bol’s location slightly away from the main town ensures a quieter experience while still being within walking distance of Bol’s key sites. It is a 5-10 minute walk down the hill to town and the waterfront promenade. A few perks of this location:

• It’s almost next door to one of Bol’s top restaurants, Ranc, which specializes in Dalmatian cuisine. This is one of our go-to spots in Bol.

6. House Marti

For travelers seeking an authentic experience, House Marti offers a charming escape in the heart of Bol. This 4-bedroom vacation rental is a traditional stone house with beautifully decorated rooms and modern amenities. We had a chance to stay at House Marti, and loved the shady front terrace, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, and an outdoor meal. The backyard pool hit the spot on hot sunny days after a hike. Its central and quiet location just up the hill from town makes it easy to walk to all of Bol's attractions, restaurants, and beaches. The majority of our neighbors were locals rather than tourists, which we enjoyed.
