Living Waterside
The family fell in love with Harbour House because, although
right by the sea
(there are panoramic views from every room and especially from
the large
terrace) the house feels safe, solid and friendly. Built of
Brac stone like the
White House in Washington, it is a famous landmark and often
appears in
photos of Bol.
Orange Grove House offers a completely different experience
from Harbour
House. Also harbourside it solidly built of Brac stone but
is quite palatial with
large rooms and high ceilings. It is like a small palace, and
may well have been
one as the Postiran nobles originally built their dwellings
by the sea.
Some say that Vladimir Nazor, Croatia's most famous poet, was
born in the
house and this might be true as there is a statue of him immediately
outside it.
