This hideaway in the center of the old Venetian city of Korčula is centered on an 18th-century bishop’s palace and a number of nearby townhouses. Five suites each have a different décor inspired by the travels of Korčula native Marco Polo. The airy Arabia, on the top floor (no elevator), has windows in all four walls with views of the Pelješac channel and red city roofs. Its open-plan layout is unorthodox: Elements of the bath mix with the rest of the furnishings. Other good choices include two-bedroom China, with its panoramic roof terrace, and Venice, a three-bedroom residence on the piano nobile. A superlative restaurant with a seaview patio offers an extensive list of local wines. Friendly staff book spa treatments and tasting appointments at one of the many wineries nearby.

The unique accommodations; the excellent restaurant by the sea; the jewel of a spa.
The historic buildings prevent the installation of an elevator.
If arriving by car, alert the hotel in advance so that a porter can be arranged to lower the old city’s parking barrier and help with luggage.
Editor’s Choice: Ceylon Residence, $580.
