If you’re seeking history and character on Croatia’s Adriatic coast, Puteus Palace Heritage Hotel is a rare gem.
Set in the harbour village of Pučišća on Brač Island, this 15-room palace dates back to 1467 and blends centuries-old architecture with modern comfort.
Accommodation at Puteus Palace includes 13 rooms and two suites, each individually styled with an elegant, understated approach that complements the building’s heritage. Interiors balance historic proportions with modern comforts, creating light, restful spaces designed for relaxation. King-size beds, quality furnishings and thoughtfully chosen amenities ensure a comfortable stay, while opening windows invite in the island breeze. Some rooms enjoy views across the harbour, while the suites offer extra space and private balconies.
Food is an integral part of the Puteus Palace experience. The hotel’s restaurant is set within the palace’s beautifully restored cellar and garden, offering an atmospheric backdrop for dining inspired by Dalmatian and Mediterranean traditions. Menus focus on fresh local produce and regional specialities, reflecting the flavours of Brač and the wider Croatian coast.
For a more relaxed moment, the Puteus Wine Bar provides a welcoming space to sample a carefully chosen selection of Dalmatian wines, paired with light bites. It’s an ideal spot for an aperitif or a quiet glass of wine as evening settles over the harbour. Tucked away within the palace walls, a secluded garden and outdoor swimming pool offer a peaceful escape during the day, perfect for unwinding after exploring the island’s beaches, villages and coastal paths.
“For travellers seeking an intimate stay with genuine character, Puteus Palace Heritage Hotel is a real gem. Its remarkable history, peaceful garden setting and thoughtful approach to luxury make it an exceptional choice for experiencing the quieter, more authentic side of Brač Island.” - Ellie Marr, Senior Product Executive
