The Dalmatia region
Folie a Deux is in Duboka Bay, one of the most desirable locations on the Adriatic. Protected and secluded, the bay is a well kept secret even today.
Experience the best of island life at Duboka - relax in the sun, enjoy the lovely view of nearby islands and watch the sailboats, yachts and island boats pass by.
The fishing village of Milna is within walking distance, less than 2 kilometers away, with outdoor market, fresh fish from the fishing boats, grocery shop, konobas, restaurants and beaches.
Milna Harbor is the bay of a thousand ships - safe harbor to ships large and small for over 400 years.
One of the original coastal villages on Brac, Milna has always been a centre of culture and commerce. Today people from all over the world are drawn to Milna for its unspoiled island living, sheltered bays, spectacular boating and exclusive lifestyle.
Island of Brac / Duboka Bay area
Duboka Bay is about 30 meters below the villa. We have kayaks, two restaurants on the water within paddling distance, swimming platform with umbrellas and lounges chairs.
Scuba diving is available in the village as well as rafting trips, parasailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding and other water activities on the island. Rental boats can be delivered to Duboka Bay on arrangement with Personal Touch Hospitality™.
The island of Brac is the gateway to Dalmatia - its culture, its islands, its cuisine.
For centuries, people have been drawn to Brac for its artists, its stone work, its spectacular bays, its clear, clean water and its weather (they say the best in all the Adriatic).
Today, an emerging international community melds gracefully with traditional village life, re-creating a charm and beauty that attracts visitors from around the world.
Enjoy the Grape Harvest and Wine Tasting in September, the Olive Harvest and Pressing in November, quiet village life in December and Wildflowers in early spring.
In spring, autumn and winter, join us to visit the stone masons and artists and even try your hand at stone carving!
Come to Brac and discover why, since earliest times, people "came for a moment and stayed forever".
