Dating back to 1706 when a band of Venetian brothers were given permission from the government to build a castle in exchange for colonizing the 12-mile-long island of Šolta, this fairytale-like boutique hotel is magical.
There are just seven classically styled suites built around a pretty open-air central courtyard, all of which feature carefully selected antiques sourced from Europe and a decor scheme that remains true to the building’s original architecture. There’s also a heated outdoor pool lined with loungers, a large garden for relaxing with a book or relaxing with a glass of fine Croatian wine, and an excellent restaurant for Dalmatian cuisine and picturesque views of the marina.
OUR OPINION:
We love the fairytale vibe, attentive service, and soothing decor at this converted castle located in the charming fishing port of Maslinica on the beautiful Dalmatian island of Šolta.
