Where the Silk Road begins.... A private retreat in the heart of the old town. An ideal escape for couples or groups of friends. Lešić Dimitri Palace stands within the heart of the old town of Korčula, with a refined elegance that represents the rich history and culture of its destination. Celebrating the marriage between old and new, this boutique bolthole has just five unique and spacious suites. They were designed by an Asian-Croatian team of architects and interior designers and inspired by Korčula's famous resident, Marco Polo and his travels along the Silk Road which people say started from this beautiful island. The 18th Century Bishop's palace was lovingly restored over five years and now offers luxury hotel accommodation for those wishing to escape, create, relax or unwind. It offers guests the chance of experiencing the essence of Dalmatia, through an intimate yet unobtrusive level of service, from a team passionate about the destination and sharing it with its visitors. Our goal is to celebrate, share and promote the best that Croatia has to offer, from the richness of its history, culture and scenic beauty, to the breadth and quality of its gastronomy

We are here for our guests. To ensure their stay with us is as relaxing as possible and to showcase the destination and all it has to offer in a personalized and creative way.

Korčula is one of the larger of the 1,000 + islands that make up Croatia's coastline. It lies between Dubrovnik and Split and is a wonderful base to explore the Pelješac peninsula and other islands in South Dalmatia. It has a rich history and strong local culture, especially in music, arts, wine and olive oil production. Lešić Dimitri Palace is hidden within the walls of the medieval town of Korčula, with its winding alleyways, terracotta-tiled houses and tiny churches, next door to the house of Marco Polo and only a stone’s throw from the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. Discover delightful vineyards, charming villages, secluded beaches and historic buildings. Indulge in wine, olive oil and oyster tasting sessions and courtesy of the palace’s private sailing yachts, explore the surrounding islands.
