Heritage Hotel Kaštelet

Nestled along the Adriatic coast in the small seaside town of Tučepi, Heritage Hotel Kaštelet is an ideal home base for exploring all that Croatia’s Makarska Riviera has to offer. Brimming with historical elegance and Mediterranean romance, this coastal hotel in the Split, Croatia, area welcomes guests into an 18th-century villa crafted of white Dalmatian stone and crowned with rich terracotta tiles. Once the summer house for local aristocrats, the Grubišić family, Heritage Hotel Kaštelet boasts a setting fit for nobility, from its expansive courtyard dotted with olive trees and a serene water fountain to sweeping views of the sea from many of its guestrooms.

Best of all, thanks to Heritage Hotel Kaštelet’s location along the waterfront promenade, those same azure waters and the riviera’s picturesque, pebbled beaches are mere steps away, as is Tučepi’s town center, which rests roughly 500 meters (around 0.3 miles) from the hotel. With only 28 guestrooms and suites, each tranquilly decorated in soothing neutrals, the hotel offers an intimate setting perfect for a relaxing vacation or romantic getaway. Guests can also savor the flavors of Dalmatia, like seafood fresh from the Adriatic punctuated with herbs grown on nearby Biokovo Mountain, at Kaštelet Restaurant & Bar, open for breakfast and dinner.

Please note that Heritage Hotel Kaštelet is only open seasonally, from the end of March through early October.
