Fit for a king: Croatia’s palace hotel

Nothing beats a personal recommendation when you’re choosing a hotel.

As I deliberated about where to stay in Croatia, a colleague described her holiday at the Lesic Dimitri Palace as “amazing”, with that faraway look in her eyes that made me immediately reach for the computer keyboard to book a room.

A few weeks later, as my travel partner and I stepped off the ferry from Hvar to the island of Korcula, a smiling gentleman introduced himself. “I’m from the Palace,” he said. And with those words I knew I had made the right choice.
