PB hotel design editorial

Vineyard rows descending to the Adriatic — with the Pelješac peninsula's limestone hills at the back and the scattered Korčula archipelago ahead — give Villa Korta Katarina & Winery one of the most precisely framed settings on the Dalmatian coast. The property, developed by American wine entrepreneur Mike Grgich's extended family and drawing on the winemaking heritage of the Grgić Vina estate, combines a working winery with a boutique hotel of around fifteen rooms spread across a five-storey stone-clad tower and a lower arcaded wing whose barrel-vaulted dining room carries the atmosphere of a Romanesque chapel — exposed brick voussoirs, wrought-iron chandelier rings, and stone-flagged floors that place the space in unmistakable dialogue with Dalmatian ecclesiastical architecture. The guest rooms navigate a tension between European grand-hotel convention and something more personal. One category wraps walls entirely in blue-grey toile de Jouy, pairing the pastoral print with striped drapery and a gilt-framed dressing mirror; another deploys a heavily turned dark-walnut four-poster, warm sand-toned walls, and a botanical throw over white bedding — both approaches sharing dark-stained oak floors, crystal flush-mount fittings, and iron-railed balconies open to the Adriatic. Below the main building, a limestone-terraced pool platform steps down to the waterline, lit at dusk in a geometry of warm uplighters against pale Dalmatian stone, the whole composition grounded as much in the peninsula's vernacular building culture as in the winemaking tradition that gave the estate its reason to exist.

Villa Korta Katarina & Winery Reviews

"And this was one of the best wine tasting/food pairing experiences we have ever had. The wines were delightful and the pairings were all exquisite and perfectly matched. The property is lovely as well (would love to come back and stay at the Villa). Go out of your way to come here."

"Our stay at Villa Korta Katarina exceeded every expectation and became one of the most memorable hotel experiences we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, every member of the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever feeling intrusive. Luggage was whisked away to our room, water appeared poolside before we even thought to ask, and every interaction with staff was met with kindness and professionalism. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and were overwhelmed by the special touches arranged for us. Fresh flowers, fruit, a wine tasting experience, and a beautifully romantic private dinner overlooking the water made the occasion truly unforgettable. The five-course dinner was outstanding, beautifully executed, and perfectly matched to the setting. The staff created an evening we will remember for years to come. As an interior designer, I’m quite particular when it comes to hotels and accommodations. Korta Katarina is one of the rare properties where every design detail feels intentional and perfectly executed. The fabrics, rugs, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and decorative touches create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and deeply inviting. It is not simply beautiful—it is a masterclass in thoughtful design. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a stunning two-bedroom suite, which quickly became one of my favourite hotel accommodations anywhere in the world. What truly sets Korta Katarina apart is the combination of extraordinary hospitality, breathtaking surroundings, impeccable design, and exceptional food—all delivered with genuine warmth and care. Thank you Tea and everyone for making our anniversary so special. We left with memories we will treasure forever. Highly, highly recommended."

"I visited Villa Korta Katarina last weekend, and I have to say, it exceeded all expectations. To be completely honest, based on the website, I had a different picture in mind. However, the moment Tea and Ana, our wonderful hosts, shared the story behind the villa, everything fell perfectly into place. The design is simply beautiful, elegant, refined, yet incredibly warm and cosy. You can truly feel the legacy and vision of the owners throughout the property. With only 7 suites, it offers a level of privacy and intimacy that is rare, even in luxury hospitality. It’s a proper ultra-luxury experience, but without any stiffness, very personal, very welcoming. What truly elevates the experience is the team. Tea and Ana were always present, attentive, and genuinely kind, striking that perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. Denis, the restaurant manager, is clearly passionate about gastronomy and wine, his storytelling around the winery and its philosophy added so much depth to the experience. We enjoyed a marvelous dinner paired with a wine degustation (special mention to our server Toni, attentive, genuinely warm, and effortlessly professional, he made the entire experience even more memorable), which really showcased where it all began, the wines. Pošip American and Plavac Mali were outstanding and definitely stood out. As a hospitality professional with more than 20 years of experience, I can confidently say that this is a property Croatia should be very proud of. We also had the chance to see their sister property, Hotel Katarina, equally impressive and designed by the same architect. The two complement each other beautifully, offering different price points while maintaining a consistent design language and quality. I sincerely hope Villa Korta Katarina continues to attract the kind of travelers who appreciate such attention to detail, authenticity, and passion, especially given its perfect location, slightly off the beaten path. Congratulations to the entire team, bravo! Suite 101 was my personal favorite 🤩"
