Villa Antonija

Villa Antonija enjoys a lovely waterfront location in Selca on the Island of Brac. It is a blissful location, perfect for those that enjoy an early morning sea dip and sensational sea views.
 
Selca enjoys centuries-old tradition, gorgeous Brac white stone buildings and monuments and a warm and friendly ambience. Selca’s central square, its charming cobbled streets and its famous neo-Romanic parish church make it a wonderful holiday destination. The forty-five metre tall bell tower dominates the square and rightly bears its other name, the Brace Cathedral. It is home to the statue Heart of Jesus by the famous Croatian artist Ivan Mestrovic.
 
The nearby village of Sumartin was founded in 1645 by Dalmatian pilgrims who were trying to escape the Turks. The village’s Franciscan monastery and church appeal to history lovers. The village boasts irresistible beaches, crystal clear sea, rich culinary experiences and a warm welcome. There are a number of summer events, including the Lady of the Angels festivity, which is held annually on 2 August.
 
The Island of Brac is famous for its attractive white stone. The famous White House in Washington is made from Brac stone. It is also famous for its  ‘buhavica’ olive oil, cheese, honey, and wine. The Stina Winery on the waterfront at Bol is lovely and the Prosec, a little like Australian muscat, is delicious. Bol is the oldest town on the coast of Brac. Its sand and pebble beaches stretch for 10 km. The mesmerising Zlatni Rat Beach is just one of them. Thanks to its particular shape, it is one of the most exceptional beaches in the world. Zlatni Rat’s elegance and appeal have made it the symbol of both the town of Bol and Croatia. The government of Croatia protects the beach as a geo-morphological monument. In the town, you can visit many historical monuments, including tombstones, a Roman water collection mechanism, pre-Roman churches, a Baroque Renaissance palace and lots more.
 
Milna, on the northwest side of Brac, was called ‘Valle di mille navi’ (the bay of a thousand ships) by the Venetians. Its stone houses stretch along a stunning coastline, small masterpieces of plebeian architecture, and its Baroque church with its typical Dalmatian bell tower is very beautiful. Milna will enchant you with its healthy Mediterranean cuisine, specialising in fresh fish, quality olive oil and home-made wines. You can enjoy sailing, fishing or scuba-diving from the harbours.
 
Sutivan is located on the northwest coast of Brac, in front of Split on the mainland. Sutivan is a small, tranquil village with beautiful beaches. The pretty promenade runs from the little harbour Lucica to the bays of Likve, Prubuje, Stinive, Stipanske, Male Tihe and the Vicja Luka harbour. Olive groves, vineyards, mandarin fields and forests surround Sutivan. Jakov Natalis-Bozicevic is a stunning building built in 1505, and the 17th century castle Kastil Marijanovic stands proud on the eastern part of the harbour. The summer cottage of Kavanjin was built between 1690 and 1705 with a pretty baroque garden. The village boasts several excellent restaurants and bars. A festival of extreme sports takes place in the village every May. The park is lovely, with a small zoo as well as bowling, basketball, football and a small playground.
 
Also beautiful are the delightful coves of Osibova and Lucice, the Bobovisca harbour, Lozisca village and the nearby small island of Mrdulja situated at the entrance of the harbour. You must try some winetasting while on the island.
