Rezidence Castello

Across the bay from Korcula's walled Old Town, Rezidence Castello sits on Zrnovska banja, a quiet shingle-beach stretch favored by locals over the harbor promenade. The three-star property suits couples and families wanting a swimmable stretch of coast without giving up a five-minute boat or car ride into the medieval center.

Rooms face either the Pelješac channel or the pine-backed hillside behind Zrnovska banja; the channel-facing units catch the afternoon ferry traffic passing toward Orebić. A small private jetty replaces a formal pool.

Korcula's Old Town, with its Marco Polo house and St. Mark's Cathedral, stays a short drive around the bay rather than a walk.
