17th Century Castle on Dalmatian island

Kastel Spanič is a unique Adriatic family house located on the Croatian island of Korčula. Recently restored to its original 1674 format. The house is designed for those wishing to enjoy the more traditional island way of life of a wine-growing village. With beautiful views of the sea and vineyards, it is removed from the tourist centres of the island. The closest beach is 2.4km away, but isolated coves are all within easy reach, as are excursions to other islands and inaccessible bays. Visit https://kastelspanic.com/ and follow @kastelspanic.korcula to discover more.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored and very comfortable castle , in the July heat. Alex the host was very helpful , friendly and easy to contact. The garden and planting was wonderful -and tended to by a lovely lady named Vinka. It was so pleasant to sit on the terrace at the big table or swing in the hammock on the lower terrace during the warm evenings. The rural location was still and silent -apart from local agricultural traffic and the growing of cockerels, both usually early in the morning! No television , which discomfited my teenage children initially (!)- but good WiFi and lots of intresting books , especially ones about Korcula and Croatia . I would highly recommend this property to others .

Time spent in a small village
The property was beautiful and we really enjoyed staying in a national landmark with such a rich cultural history. The view over the vineyards to the sea was so calming every morning as we enjoyed our coffee out on the terrace. Delightful landscaping ... all the roses and jasmine were in bloom while we were there. The castle is well located in the middle of this small island, everything is quite accessible. We found the local beach to be only 5 minutes away with several other beaches only a short drive. We liked the Lumbarda beaches very much. We got used to the hourly bells which are in the church across the street from the castle. Also, the market is conveniently right next door with a lovely little coffee cafe facing the main street. There is also dedicated parking for the car which can be hard to come by in Croatia. We found Alex to be a great host who made sure we had everything we needed. He was very responsive to our queries when we were first settling in. He also helped us figure out some of our other travel plans. We would definitely stay at Kastel Spanic again.

Amazing property in excellent location. Plenty of outdoor space and sensational views!
Really lovely converted castle (!) sitting towards the top of Cara village with sensational views across the vineyards and out towards the sea. Plenty of character and outdoor space. Great, central location for exploring Korcula island. Alex is a great host and provided loads of useful information on where to go. Our favourites included jumping off rocks into the harbour at nearby Zavalatica, getting a boat to Proizd island where the beaches are amazing and beautiful Vaja Bay. The local wine’s pretty good too!

Wonderful, charming place to stay
We spent a week as a family of six in this place and we absolutey loved it!!! The house is very tastefully renovated, with an amazing view, located in a charming little village - we immediately felt at home! You need a car to get around, but it is also really nice to take a morning walk to the nearest beach, around 40 min by foot. Alex, the owner, was really great and always reachable gor anything we needed! We really hope to come back one day!

La vie de château !
Très belle île, la maison est idéalement située pour la découvrir. Merveilleuse journée à Lastovo avec Tonci. De très belles criques à découvrir. Alexander a plein de bons plans et est très attentionné et réactif. Cara est un village viticole actif très tôt...la maison n’est pas faite pour des enfants en bas âge.

Highly recommendable
We stayed the first 2 weeks in September. The Kastel has a lovely atmosphere and is in very good conditions. Every night,we had dinner outside at the terrace; cooking facilities are sufficient for 8 persons and the super market in one minute walking distance has almost everything including a Pekaria. You can walk to the next cove in 30 minutes through the vineyards or drive the first 3 kilometres by car and then explore all the different coves by feet. The owner and the people in the village who take care of the house and the garden are all very helpful and friendly. It is a perfect place for a big family or a group of friends who like holidays off the beaten tourist tracks. During night, listen the jackals!

Empfehlenswert
Ausstattung des Hauses und Gartens sehr schön. Einziger Makel ist die Entfernung zum nächsten Badeplatz am Meer, die nicht wie abgegeben1.4 km beträgt, sondern 3 km. Damit ist die Bucht zu Fuß wirklich weit weg. Bei 6 Erwachsenen mit einem Auto stellt das ein logistisches Problem dar.
