Verdict
The Pucic Palace

The Pucic Palace

A small 18th-century baroque-palace hotel set right inside the Old Town walls, on the Gundulić square market.

The call

Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.

    One of the only true luxury hotels within the walls, in a restored 18th-century baroque palazzo overlooking the daily fruit-and-veg market.

  2. 02

    You step out the door into the heart of the medieval city — atmospheric and central, with the trade-off of street noise and no sea pool.

    Our read

Is it a fit?

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • Stradun and Old Town sights (steps away)
  • Gundulić square market (right outside)
  • Old Town restaurants and bars (all walkable)
Cut off from
  • Beaches and sea swimming (no on-site access)
  • Quiet — the centre is busy and can be noisy
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

A handful of individually styled rooms in a baroque palazzo; quieter rooms face away from the square, while market-facing rooms trade calm for atmosphere. Small property, so book well ahead.
