Why Our Location Is One of Korčula’s Best-Kept Secrets

When planning a stay on the beautiful island of Korčula, one of the first questions many travelers ask is: “Where should we stay?” For some, being in the heart of the Old Town is the top priority. But for others — especially those seeking peace, space, and a deeper connection to the island — the best experiences happen just outside the tourist flow.

Žrnovo: Where Tranquility Meets the Sea

Our apartments are located in the peaceful village of Žrnovo, right on the seafront and only 1.7 km from Korčula Old Town. It’s a location that combines the best of both worlds: close enough to access the culture, cuisine, and charm of the historic center — yet removed enough to enjoy true relaxation.

You can reach the Old Town in just a 5-minute drive, a short bike ride, or even a scenic walk. But once you return to Žrnovo, you'll feel like you’ve entered your own private corner of the island.

Away From the Crowds – And That’s a Good Thing

For our guests our peaceful setting is one of the main reasons they come back year after year.

Being slightly removed from the tourist hotspots allows you to:

• Avoid noise, traffic, and large groups
• Truly relax in a natural environment
• Hear the waves, not the nightlife
• Enjoy stargazing instead of streetlights
• Wake up to birdsong and sea breeze — not city sounds

A More Authentic Island Experience

Žrnovo is not just a place to stay — it’s a place to experience. Here, you’ll find local vineyards, olive groves, family-run konobas, and welcoming neighbors who still live and work in rhythm with the island. You can swim just steps from your apartment, hike scenic trails nearby, or simply enjoy a glass of wine on your terrace as the sun sets over the Adriatic.
