    Nothing everything was perfect.

    Absolutely beautiful. This villa exceeded expectations. The views were outstanding. Swimming pool was perfect to chill around and take a morning dip. The host Jaksa and his wife were very friendly and helpful, nothing was a bother for them. The villa was immaculately clean as was the whole property and gardens. If you want somewhere to recharge your batteries, this is the place to go. We loved every second and will return again. Highly recommend! Also, try Jaksa's wine it's fabulous.

    The poolside bathing area is small and without parasols. It was very hot during our stay, and finding shade on a lounger after 2pm is tricky. . Although there is an indoor area to sit in with table and chairs . The walk back from Boll is a trek after a relaxing evening - the extra expense of a taxi might be worth it !

    The villa is superb in terms of its panoramic views, high spec of the interior, and undeniable dedication of the host Jaksa. Uniquely, the location offers one to one experience of the mountains wildlife. If you enjoy nature, there's plenty to see - birds ,butterflies and crickets that sing all day and night. We particularly loved the diving swifts! Apartments themselves are beautifully appointed, plenty of fresh towels including swimming ones. The pool is impressive with its incredible views and is exceptionally clean. Boll itself is charming and has good vibes going on. It peserves its class, even though it is busy. The food is good quality BUT nowhere near as delicious as Rank restaurant recommended by the host. It's a most go dining experience and very reasonably priced. Supermarkets are very well stocked and handy only 5 minutes walk. The beaches are impressive-stoney, though and 20 min walk. Waters are dreamy. A great boutique villa !

    There’s nothing to complain about with Villa Franka

    Villa Franks is a very well built complex and has well groomed grounds. The integration with the vineyard next to the site is also charming and better yet, it’s all authentic with the host having been born a few doors up the road. We loved our time there.

    We thought property was totally non smoking but other guests were smoking by the pool. The hill down to the harbour is very steep so be prepared for a very good climb to get home. Great way of exercising off the calories after a delicious meal though 😁

    We stayed in penthouse apartment which was stunning. The views of Hvar and Zlatni Rat were awesome.

    It's an amazing experience! Hospitality of Mr. Jakša is outstanding, the house looks and feels new, comfortable, modern, with classic furniture. The house is located away from crowd and noise, allowing you to hear only the nature, and that is priceless. Highly recommended!

    The property is exactly how it looks like and much more beautiful. The location is perfect to stay out from the traffic but close enough to walk to the city center. The olive trees, the vineyards, the sea view and the crickets make it magic. We have loved the dark and the stars in the evenings and the pool was amazing. The apartment was equipped with all needed. Thank you!

    There is nothing that we did not like :)

    The Villa is set in a beautiful location, just a 5-10 minute walk away from the beach and it’s town/restaurants. There is a shop just round the corner from the villa. It is beautiful, well kept, very clean, super comfortable, and perfect if you are after a relaxing place to stay that is close to the town and beaches but also not in the hustle and bustle or where it’s noisy. it’s so peaceful and calm. The swimming pool is a great bonus, it’s a beautiful infinity pool and great for a morning or evening relax before or after your day. Franka and her family are wonderful people and they made sure that we had everything that we needed and helped us with planning our trips. They are really attentive and made sure we had the most wonderful time!

    We enjoyed every aspect of our stay : the nice house, the comfort of the penthouse, the incredible view and the lovely swimming pool. The hosts were perfect. We strongly recommend Villa Franka.

    We had a fantastic week staying here in June! Jaksa was so friendly and very helpful. Our apartment was extremely clean and the views from the balcony were stunning! It is a good 15 minute walk uphill from the port but there are plenty of taxis. The location is beautiful and lovely and peaceful away from all the hustle and bustle. We even received a lovely bottle of wine made from the vineyards next to the property!

    Great location in regards to being just outside Bol with great access to the beaches, hills, Bol and the shop. However, the climb up the hill was a little difficult in the heat.

    Fantastic host, Jaksa was very thoughtful and accommodating. Really appreciated all the support and assistance from Jaksa. The room was super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The balcony was particularly amazing with great views. The pool was a real added bonus :)

    Although both these things were sorted out quickly our kettle leaked which was quite dangerous when boiling water went everywhere and we didn’t have a corkscrew bottle opener. The bedroom really needed air conditioning as it was very hot. The rooms were a strange mix of old and new and the lounge area wasn’t a comfortable space to sit in. The property and its surroundings were quite noisy - strimmers, loud conversations at night etc and when the room was in use above that was noisy too. But all in all we had everything we needed

    The balcony was lovely to sit out on and the bed was huge and very comfortable
