Jelsa is all adorable stone houses and quiet grace, but many of those buildings hide real magic. The Dobrović House is arguably the best example (or at least the most accessible), with a gorgeous interior preserved after a 19th-century refitting. The house sits on St John’s Square (close to the most adorable church in town) and is widely considered the best example of Jelsa’s neoclassical residential architecture, but it is very much a “words don’t cover it” sort of place. The permanent exhibition and ground floor gallery are the brainchild of artist Juraj Dobrović — the last person to live here full time (lucky ducky) — and carry his trademark attention to detail. Nip into the tourist centre in Jelsa to arrange a visit.
