Located on the northern peninsula of Lopud island, off the coast of Dubrovnik, LOPUD 1483 is a restored Franciscan monastery that has been overlooking the Elaphiti Islands and Croatia’s Dalmatian coast for centuries. After an extensive and sympathetic restoration by renowned art visionary, Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, LOPUD 1483 has opened its doors to guests and this five-suite, 15th century monastery is available to rent exclusively for private stays and events.
Experience the elegance and tranquility of a restored 15th century monastery with a stay at LOPUD 1483. Transformed into a place of shared experience where history, art, and botanical exploration unite the senses, LOPUD 1483’s sophisticated interiors, peaceful gardens and atmospheric ancient fortress offer plenty of space for family and friends to relax and enjoy the undiscovered beauty of the Elaphiti archipelago.
Yours to enjoy on an exclusive basis, you will be looked after by our team of discreet and highly-trained team of hospitality professionals.
The 13 original cells have been elegantly transformed into five private suites, each with its own bathroom and views over the ocean or out onto the monastery’s medicinal gardens
Thoughtfully restored using bespoke joinery and historic plastering techniques, the interiors effortlessly fuse handmade furniture by Italian designer Paola Lenti with historic renaissance pieces from the Thyssen-Bornemiza collection.
Contrasting with the ancient architecture, walls are adorned with carefully curated contemporary art pieces.
Al-fresco dining is central to the Lopud experience, from breakfasts on the sun deck and casual barbeques in the idyllic upper gardens, to drinks on the sunset terrace atop the ancient fortress, overlooking the surrounding Elaphiti islands.
Guests choosing to dine inside can enjoy the hallowed surroundings and impressive art collection in the Refectory, or in the convivial surroundings of the Old Kitchen, dining on wood-fired pizzas straight from the traditional Croatian bread oven.
