Spread across three separate 16th-century stone heritage buildings, this impeccably restored boutique hotel in Brač’s fishing village of Sutivan is ideal for those looking for a peaceful retreat. On arrival, guests will be greeted by immaculately maintained gardens filled with bougainvillea, roses, hibiscus, swaying palms, and hundreds of fragrant lemon trees. There’s also a wealth of interesting interior design touches, including use of the island’s famous white marble set against bright hues of yellows, greens and reds inspired by local herbs and produce.
The hotel has 23 suites and 12 rooms, all offering plenty of living space as well as stylish features such as Murano chandeliers, silk fabrics and rugs, high-quality linens, and individual decor. On sunny days, guests can relax on loungers by the large outdoor pool or spend time at the hotel’s private stone beach area shaded by a pine forest.
A luxurious heritage hotel on the island of Brač, we love Hotel Lemongarden for its fragrant gardens and private beach area. We were especially impressed by the excellent level of service from welcoming staff.
