15th Century Monastery Luxury Oceanfront Vacation Rental

A restored 15th-century Franciscan monastery perched on the northernmost tip of Lopud island, Lopud 1483 has opened its doors to rent exclusively for private stays. Overlooking Croatia's Elaphiti Islands and Dalmatian coast for centuries, the medieval fortified monastery was constructed in 1483 as a cloistered sanctuary for quiet contemplation and healing. Today, guests can enjoy its majestic buildings and exclusive position overlooking the small harbor and islands beyond.

The thirteen original cells for monastics have been converted into five beautifully furnished and spacious king suites, accommodating up to ten guests. With stunning gardens and a variety of sympathetically restored spaces, this luxury oceanfront vacation rental is ideal for group retreats, corporate seminars, concerts, and intimate ceremonies and celebrations.
 
Inside the walled fortress of Lopud 1483, guests are greeted by the main monastery, a church, fortress, and sprawling gardens. Guests enter via the Angel’s Hall which features two 18th century baroque angels and original wall inscriptions. The interior of this luxury oceanfront vacation rental has been meticulously restored using bespoke joinery and historic plastering techniques, effortlessly blending tradition with high-end luxury living.

Elegant handmade furnishings by Italian designer Paola Lenti and a vast art collection beautifully complement the estate’s original 15th-century features. Extensive gardens, including the Sacred Garden between the fortress and monastery, combine art, architecture, spirituality, and healing along with deep local historical roots.

Sweeping ocean views are abundant throughout this luxury oceanfront vacation rental, with multiple terraces for informal gatherings and meals. The tastefully restored interior dining room and large interior courtyard provide ideal settings for formal meals, celebrations, and group functions.
