The house
WatermanHarborside stone retreat
The hotel stands directly over the harbor, letting guests watch the ferries pass from an olive-shaded terrace or the open-air rooftop.
What it’s good at
Notable
Palazzo-style Dalmatian stone architecture pairs with clean, late-modernist interior lines.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a unique place, and a tale of two buildings: a palazzo-style heritage building whose rooms combine classic architecture with contemporary furniture, and an adjoining late-modernist structure.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Supetar's waterfront promenade and ferry dock sit right outside, with views stretching across the channel to the mainland.

The rooms
Many rooms look out to sea from private balconies, fitted with understated contemporary furniture.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated freshwater pool sits on an elevated stone terrace, looking out across the rooftops to the Adriatic.
Restaurant
OTOK
An open kitchen prepares Dalmatian dishes inside, and candlelit tables fill the stone courtyard under seventy-year-old olive trees.
At the table
Wine Room Pyandura pours regional Dalmatian vintages around a long wooden tasting table that opens onto the courtyard.
How it began
The main stone structure served as Supetar's town schoolhouse before joining an adjoining modernist wing in 2014.
