There is something especially inviting in the thought of vast natural beauties of the Mediterranean, the abundance of dry, green vegetation and the daily rise of their fragrances, forced out by the heat of the Sun and dispersed through the islands by the gentle winds from the open sea. This atmosphere is for some the main way to harness energy lost throughout the year’s hard work. If you are looking for a good place for that refill, in the company of your friends, family and pets, you’ve found it.
Villa Orange is a set of beautiful villas located on the outskirts of the old town Bol, on the island of Brač. The outskirts mean a plentiful touch with the surrounding nature and a guaranteed privacy and peace from the town’s commotion. The villas are relatively new, but built in the traditional fashion of the Adriatic, meaning that their main building block is stone, that it uses red roof tiles and green wooden window shades. That is exactly the unwritten rule of the style. But this is far from the greatest quality, as the parcel is home to a vast garden with a great number of olives, and two paved terraces, each with a swimming pool from where you can even see the sea and across it, the island of Hvar, a truly magnificent view. By the pools there is a number of deck chairs or sun loungers, which you can position beneath the wooden canopy close by if you need shade from the sun.
The interior is well worth the praise as well, which is evident immediately upon entering the houses. It is furnished in a modern fashion, as opposed to the exterior, providing a feeling of luxury and a sort of freshness inside. The flooring is wooden, the walls painted white, the decorations are many and picked with great taste and care. You will see a lot of fine ornaments and trinkets, little pictures and really cool lamps all around the place. The rooms, in continuation of the overall theme, are very elegantly designed with well-used space and comfortable beds. The kitchen and the bathrooms are fully equipped for all your daily needs. The villas have 9 bedrooms (accommodation for 24 people), 5 bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen, leading to the large covered terrace, which has separate dining and seating areas. Behind the villas are the mentioned terraces with pools, a grill and a dining area. The villas are air conditioned, with an internet and WiFi connection, a maid service on request. If you wish to try tasty local food at home, a private chef is also available on request.
As for some exploration, a 5-10 minute walk takes you to downtown Bol where you can enjoy all sorts of content, such as bars, restaurants, town exploration, rent a boat, wind surfing and more. From there you can visit one of the beautiful beaches in the town’s proximity, most known being Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). Other interesting options for exploration might be Vidova Gora right above Bol (the highest peak of Brač offering a stunning view in every direction), Supetar (the island’s official center, providing a lot of content in the likes of festivals, fisherman fests, etc.) and Blaca hermitage (a remote 16th century monastery built into a cliff). Enjoy your stay!
