Avis Tuscany-Styled Villa with Superb View of Adriatic and Private Swimming Pool

Very comfortable house with plenty of space and great pool

Great villa. All you need available. Great host. The villa is located a bit up the hill so a car would be highly recommended if you stay in this place (at least for a few days). Boris is a great host and swimmingpool and garden are well maintained. Highly recommended!!

We loved staying a this cute house in the small town of Skrip. While it was a little out of the way, that is part of the charm. Boris was an incredible host. He picked us up at the ferry, helped us get groceries and returned us to the ferry after our stay. We enjoyed a day and half of just staying at the house and in the area. It is very small town ( if you can call it that) but there is an interesting museum ( the curator is very hospitable) and a quaint olive oil museum. The view from the area is breathtaking. After that we rented a car for a couple of days (Boris helped us) and discovered beaches, towns and restaurants. We will always cherish our time there.

We stayed at Villa Kolacje for 9 nights at the beginning of September. The weather was beautiful.It's a very easy journey from the airport to Split (1hr and 4 euros on the bus) and on to the ferry for Brac (50mins and about 4 euros). We spent the first couple of days walking to nearby Splitzka and Postira and the ancient town of Dol, where we had a fabulous dinner at the Kastil Gospodnetic with a wonderful view to the mainland. Mini house tour and history lesson included! We went twice to Konoba Kopacina in Humac, once for lunch and then again for dinner on our last night. Taxis are expensive though so we rented a car on recommendation from Boris for the remainder so that we could explore the island ( about £40 a day for a small 4 door). And explore we did! There a couple of 'must see' sights, namely Vidora Gova - the highest point of the Adriatic Islands and an amazing sight towards Hvar, Vis, Korcula and even Italy on a clear day. Also Bol and its famous Zlatni Rat beach, although it's very commercial. Lovrecina is the only sandy beach, but there are much nicer pebbly beaches along the coast, although require beach shoes unless you have feet of steel! We went twice to Pucisca and had the most delicious ice cream. Skrip itself is the oldest settlement on Brac and in our opinion, the nicest. There is a restaurant, bar and small supermarket within minutes of the villa. There are also a couple of museums - The Brac museum and an Olive Oil museum, both of which are worth a visit. There are also a couple of 'ateliers' selling locally made goods. Supetar is the nearest large town where the ferry comes in (10 mins by car). There are lots of things to do and much more nightlife. There are also a couple of large supermarkets there, one of which, Boris' father took us to when he very kindly picked us up from the ferry and took us to the villa. The villa itself is delightful and had everything we needed. We had a barbeque one day which was really easy to use . The indoor cooking facilities are basic but adequate, but the villa is well equipped otherwise. If you spend much time there though, take CDs, DVDs, games etc as there are none there. If you enjoy cycling, Brac is the place. There are 5 circular cycling trails, from the challenging to the impossible! We watched people struggling uphill many a day! There are electric bikes to rent though. All in all we had a fabulous time, Boris and his family are very kind and we would recommend Villa Kolacje.

We spent an extremely enjoyable week at Villa Kolacje. The villa is very comfortable and nicely furnished. The terrace has comfortable seating and is a lovely shaded place to sit out of the heat of the day to enjoy the views and the myriad of potted plants in the garden. Boris was very welcoming and extremely helpful with advice prior to our arrival. Although the lovely view from the villa is partially obscured by a neighbouring property, there are still beautiful views across the island down to the sea. The downstairs bedrooms are much nicer than the pictures indicate. For my family, the single air conditioning unit in the living area was not quite enough for comfort at night time, even with fans in the bedrooms and windows open. One of the two downstairs bedrooms is not accessed directly from the living area but either through the other bedroom or via the terrace, so cool air from the living room could not reach that bedroom. We struggled to keep water within the shower area of the upstairs bathroom where the bathroom floor tended to get very slippery, but the downstairs showers were fine. The kitchen area is compact with a small tabletop oven, but also a microwave oven and is well equipped with everything that you could need for holiday cooking, with plenty of fridge space! We bought beach towels to use at the pool as we didn't find any sizeable ones in the villa. The villa is decorated with many interesting ornaments, with an open stairway to the upper floor, and the pool is very deep with no shallow end - wonderful for us but young children would need to be closely supervised! The location on the edge of the village is quiet and free of traffic, with the only noises being the neighbours enjoying their garden and pool. It is only a short trip by car to several pretty coastal villages so we used a local taxi service recommended in the villa's guest book to try out some of the local restaurants in the evenings, and had many good and memorable meals. We could happily have spent much longer than the week we had there enjoying the villa and exploring the island.

Villa Kolacje is truly lovely. The pictures can't do it justice. The location is very quiet and relaxing and the views, especially from the upstairs balcony, are amazing. The pool area is very nice with a fair size pool and plenty of space for everyone to chill out, getting out of the sun under umbrellas or shady areas if need be. Inside, the villa is well equipped with plenty of towels, linen and utensils. There's only a very small cooker/hob in the kitchen but the BBQ is very easy to use and much nicer than cooking indoors. The villa is a few minutes drive from Splitska, Postira and Supetar - all great places to eat and drink. There are plenty of beaches to choose from but a car is essential to get to them. Boris kindly helped us hire a car on the Island. Boris and his family could not have been more helpful or welcoming - thanks for a great stay!
