Belado Residence Bol

Lovely duplex apartment; impeccably clean; extremely spacious; 2 ½ baths; fully stocked; lovely views; furnished; AC works extremely well. The owners have thought of everything and supplies are plentiful. Towels and linens are very high quality and they exchange clean for dirty daily. Showers have good water pressure. Bathrooms have spacious counter space and skylights. Each bedroom has large closet space for both hanging area and several large shelves. Two luggage racks which is very appreciated – most hotels these days only have one if they have one at all, which is very annoying as most travelers each have a suitcase, a carry on suitcase, and a personal bag. There is plenty of storage space and room to spread out. The hot tub has nice partial water views and is private and secluded. Benjamin Vdo (owner and manager) is incredibly helpful and immediately responsive; will pick you up and drive you back to the ferry dock and offers suggestions for anything if asked but does not intrude or try to plan your trip for you. The views are terrific and it’s an easy 10 minute walk downhill to the village of Bol and the waterfront. It’s about a 20 minute walk from there to the famous Zlatni Rat beach through a lovely shaded paved walk along the sea. Note that in midday, the white stone gets very hot and reflective, so climbing the stairs up can be hot. There are no “amenities” like a hotel (no restaurant or gym) but the hotel Restaurant Argento next door serves a very nice, comprehensive breakfast for only 15 Euro. This is our third year staying at the Belado -- See you next year! Thank you very much.

We - a whole group of us, 8 people all together - stayed for a few days in July, 3 generations of family, ranging from 1 to 64 years. We had two apartments plus a double room, and everyone was very pleased with the Belado. The apartments were clean, spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need. Great view from the terrace, and perfect location just a short walk from the center of town. Topping that off with free use of bikes to get around , and great communication with the host Ben, and there is simply nothing to complain about. 5 stars, we are definitely coming back, thank you for a wonderful stay. 😊

We had an amazing time in Bol and the apartment was the very best. We stayed at the one with the pool which was well used in the hot July heat! The apartment was spotless and very well maintained. It was about a 3-5 minute walk to the centre and to the nearest beach. Ben was a great host and was always on hand with anything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

We love staying at Belado, and can’t speak highly enough of Belado and of Ben who goes over and beyond regarding service! 3 years in a row, and can’t wait to be back! Favorite is staying in the “House”, amazing view from bedroom, the kids love staying there to❤️

Fantastic apartment on this amazing island. V short walk from all the restaurants and beaches. Perfect location for relaxed Bol holiday. Highly recommend Ben is fantastic and truly accommodating/helpful. Would visit again without doubt

This is the second year in a row we've stayed at the Belado. See last year's review for more detail. It is an exquisitely beautiful and clean small boutique hotel perched up high with expansive sea views. Our duplex apartment is incredibly spacious, with every single thing that you might need supplied (from fully equipped kitchen to paper products to beach towels to fluffy bathrobes, etc.) Daniel and Benjamin (father and son) own and manage this hotel with the ultimate of gracious hospitality. They deliver baskets of fresh towels every morning; will pick you up and drive you back down to the ferry; offer whatever suggestions and help you may ask for; and are always available to answer questions. The apartment is spotless. We look forward to coming back.

The Hotel Belado is a “we will definitely return” excellent hotel on a hill overlooking the harbor with amazing sea views and breezes. It is a four-story villa with most rooms sea facing with a balcony or terrace. The location is very quiet and safe, and an easy 5 – 10 minute walk to town / harbor / beaches. Keep in mind that that is all downhill and returning to the hotel is thus all uphill via built-in steps or narrow streets on cantilevered hills like in Amalfi and Positano. Ben, the son of the owner Daniel, is the go – to person for taking care of guests and is very helpful, professional, and immediately available if you have any questions. There is a parking garage on the street level. Most importantly and uniquely, this hotel (unlike most these days) comes equipped with all kinds of things that makes a stay easier and better. In the top two-floor duplex, the living room, dining room, balcony, full kitchen, two bedrooms, and 1 ½ bathrooms were spacious and not as cluttered with unnecessary knick knacks as in so many hotels, so you have room for your things. The suite was incredibly clean, and very essentially, the air conditioning worked extremely well which was even more important in the heat wave of June. Even the “little” things were thought of – towel hooks accessible from the shower, lots of paper products, enough and very nice towels, and even a bottle of rose to enjoy on the deck with the private jacuzzi hot tub (in which the water is actually hot, unlike lukewarm the way Germans like it). The bathrooms have plenty of counter space, the bedrooms have big closets and lots of storage space, and the shower has real glass doors and very good water pressure. The only downside was that the nightstands were too small to put anything on, and there are not many electrical outlets.

We stayed in Belado for two weeks and loved every minute of it. The apartment is fantastic and really comfortable with beautiful views. Ben was a wonderful host, brought us to and from the port, organised laundry for us and gave us a gift of wine. Bol is fabulous and we walked to the various beaches every day and then to the town for dinner in the evening. I thoroughly recommend and hope to be back.
