Lesic Dimitri Palace

Set on the island of Korcula in South Dalmatia, Lesic Dimitri Palace is a 17th century Bishop’s Palace that’s been lovingly renovated, along with a cluster of neighboring stone cottages. The result is five luxury apartments in the heart of Korcula’s pedestrianized Old Town, offering the impeccable service of a boutique hotel.

Each apartment is named after the voyages of Marco Polo, believed to have been born here. Offering between one and three bedrooms, they’re a blend of old and new, with stone lintels and wooden-beamed ceilings alongside modern furniture and open-plan bathrooms with freestanding tubs.

Breakfast is served on the restaurant terrace overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Guests can feast on locally sourced meat and seafood, or prepare food in their fully equipped kitchens.

Explore the island’s beaches by taxi-boat, enjoy gourmet tours and guided walks, and cruise on the hotel’s private boat, before returning for some pampering in the spa.
