What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
An 1810 Brač stone house just steps from the harbor, this ten-room retreat brings together laid-back design and contemporary minimalism.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Harbor konobas and the ferry quay are a five-minute stroll away, and cruiser bikes reach Prirovo beach in minutes.
The rooms
Beds come dressed in Dalmatian lace trim, and select bathrooms have basins carved from Brač stone.
At the table
Kava brews specialty coffee and serves continental breakfasts in the morning, pouring cocktails on the stone square at night.
How it began
American designer Loulou Rees restored the 1810 residence in 2022, detailing the stone interiors with local woodwork and Croatian textiles.
