We spent six nights at this lovely hotel in early June. It is a reasonably small hotel run by lovely staff . The décor and garden's are very tasteful and relaxing as is the pool, with lovely views of the garden and hotel. We were lucky enough to be able to have all our meals on the garden terrace, the breakfast spread was amazing. Pucisca is a small pretty town with a lovely harbour. It has several restaurants, pizzarias etc. Ideally you need a car to explore the rest of the island. We very much enjoyed our stay at Puteus Palace and would recommend. Thank you.

Beautiful hotel in a quiet village on Brac. Excellent location for exploring the rest of the island by public transport, bus stop being only a 3 minute walk away. The hotel is very peaceful, and the staff extremely helpful and attentive. The bed is large and very comfortable, and the separate seating area in the deluxe room is very welcome. Breakfast choice is superb, and the restaurant is of a very high standard. Totally recommend staying here!

“Stay ruined by non stop soft pop music”

My wife and I stayed at the Puteus Palace Hotel twice, both times for 3 or 4 nights, but after the second visit in September 2025 we decided (regrettably) not to return again.

My wife and I stayed at the Puteus Palace Hotel twice, both times for 3 or 4 nights, but after the second visit in September 2025 we decided (regrettably) not to return again. This is because of the soft pop music piped throughout the hotel and grounds from 10am until 11pm. At first it was rather pleasant and innocuous but after a while it started to get on our nerves till it became unbearable. It is too bad because we absolutely love everything else about the hotel, a true gem of beauty and peace in the centre of a quaint friendly village, without wonderful service. In fact, we found the pop music didn't go at all well with the amazing ancient stone building and natural surroundings. Instead, it felt a bit like aluminium siding on a castle, or being overfed on honey. In the end it ruined the place for us.

“Lovely place not 5 Stars”

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting but sadly falls short of its 5 stars. The building itself is a beautiful restored 18th century palace with traditional white stone and lots of traditional features. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly reception who took details and showed us to our room. … more

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting but sadly falls short of its 5 stars. The building itself is a beautiful restored 18th century palace with traditional white stone and lots of traditional features. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly reception who took details and showed us to our room. There was no welcoming touches such as a welcome drink etc which we have received in other 5 star hotels. The room was generous enough in size but fairly minimal and was let down by some cheap furniture which did not match the traditional look of the hotel. The bathroom was a huge let down. The shower was over bath which was small and the shower head did not even go high enough to go over my husbands head. The shower screen leaked and the floor got very wet. The bathroom was also cheapened with Ikea type cupboards. There were no suitable towel rails and therefore it was difficult to get towels dried and also nowhere to properly hang swimwear where it would dry sufficiently. Towels were changed only on request daily which needed to be done considering they never dried. There was also no turn down service in the evening which is something we have always received in other 5 star hotels. We were told that towels were available on request to visit the beach as they didn't want us hanging our own towels out of windows as it was a heritage hotel. When we planned a full day away at the beach we requested 4 towels from reception staff so that we could have clean towels after sunbathing to shower with before going for a meal. This was met with a tutt and and a raise of eyebrows and we had to settle for 3 towels instead. Another day a different member of staff offered us 4. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the evening meals which we had twice were both very good. The restaurant staff were also very friendly and helpful with recommendations. At times i felt the restaurant was a bit understaffed, particularly at breakfast where new guests were standing about not quite sure where to go. All in all we had a good holiday and Pucisca is definitely worth a visit, particularly if you like a quiet place. Its just unfortunate that this hotel lacks the extra luxury touches that other 5 star hotels offer.
