The palace is withdrawn from the shore and raised on a plateau, retained by the stone parapet with long balustrade, and contains a garden, too. In the parapet there is a portal with family heraldic insignia. In front of the Palace there is a landing place -jetty with a spacious mole enclosed boat-port that used to belong to the Palace. Behind the Palace are terraced gardens. The Palace is built of fine trimmed stone from Korčula Island, it contains a vault, two floors and a fourth level suited to be a belvedere, with a baroque shaped gable. The very top of the belvedere bears a tower shaped decoration. The facade is dominated by a balcony on the second floor, whose supporting consoles are covered with ornaments with acanthus leaf motif.
