There are such places that stay with you, and there are some you fall in love with. Brač is just such a place: a divine island of hard-to-match beauty, located off the coast of Split. As the third largest island in the Adriatic, it competes for the title of most beautiful of all - so feel free to call it a piece of paradise. It is in this special place that you will find Puteus Palace: a classy boutique hotel housed in a palazzo from the 15th century. Here you can taste pure Croatian cuisine and unwind in the lush Mediterranean garden. Sunbathe at the lovely pool or at the beach a little further away. Nice touch, because Brač happens to be among the sunniest areas in Croatia. Another reason not to hesitate and go there right away.
The hotel is open from mid-May to mid-October.
15 rooms.
You can check in from 3pm. Check-out is by 12 noon. Late check-out possible on request.
From 275 euros.
Brač is famous for its white, marble-like limestone that formed the basis of many iconic buildings. Diocletian's Palace in Split is a fine example of this - and one, moreover, that has stood the test of time exceptionally well. But there are even more impressive illustrations: the White House in Washington D.C. is also said to be built from Brač limestone. More to the point, the stones are said to come from the quarry of Pučišća, the town where Puteus Palace is located.
All rooms are elegantly furnished and feature parquet flooring, air conditioning, TV, telephone, free Wi-Fi and safe, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities. The spacious bathrooms each come with a shower, hairdryer, cosmetics, bathrobes and slippers.
In this location, it would be a shame not to have a sea view. So, if you can, definitely choose a room with a sea view.
There is a lovely outdoor swimming pool with loungers and parasols in the hotel's pleasant courtyard garden. As an extra, you will enjoy views of the green hills and the beautiful church tower located behind the hotel from your lounger.
The hotel has a small spa with sauna and jacuzzi. Massages and treatments are available on request and for a fee. In the vicinity of the hotel, there is a wide range of water sports for the more active in summer.
All ages are welcome, but don't expect extensive facilities for children. This hotel is therefore the ideal place to unwind.
The restaurant's historic spaces are cosy and ooze character, but in fine weather, a table on the terrace is always preferred here.
Smart casual.
In the morning, a very extensive and quality breakfast buffet awaits you. There are plenty of options both for those who love sweet and those who prefer a savory breakfast. In restaurant Puteus you will enjoy Dalmatian and Mediterranean à la carte dishes. For a delicious aperitif moment, visit the hotel's cheese and wine bar.
Puteus Palace is located on the beautiful island of Brač, in the small centre of Pučišća, some 500 m from the nearest beach. Bol and the famous beach of Zlatni Rat are 23 km away, Supetar 25 km away and the monastery of Blaca 26 km away. From Supetar, you can reach Split by ferry in about 50 minutes.
Split airport is the closest. You can easily reach the mainland by ferry.
A transfer is possible on request and at a supplement.
There is free outdoor parking for hotel guests.
Beautifully renovated and historic palace from 1467 with comfortable rooms, delicious cuisine and very attentive service.
