The Story
A hundred years above the bay
Vinišće has always been a village of stone. Ivan Duknović, one of the great sculptors of the Renaissance, was born here and quarried the coves of this bay for Trogir’s cathedral. In the 1920s, when the village lived from fishing, vineyards and olives, this house was raised the same old way — Dalmatian limestone, thick walls, shutters against the afternoon sun. Its name, Antini Dvori, means “Ante’s Courts” in the local dialect.
A century later, Ante — the father of the family that owns the house — rebuilt it with his own hands, stone by stone. The 2021 renovation kept what matters — the limestone, the proportions, the calm — and added everything a modern stay asks for: an en-suite bathroom for every bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning throughout, and a private pool in the garden.
What you get is rare on this coast: not a white concrete box, but a real Dalmatian home a few steps from the water. Ante, Maria and Nikolina live just behind the house — close enough to welcome you with figs and grapes from their own garden, never in the way.
