“Violeta was right on the spot and check-in was fast and easy”
“This place was incredible!! It’s exactly as pictured, the views out the balcony are stunning, it’s a short walk from the main downtown/old port area, but just far enough where you still get a good night’s rest. Check in was very simple, and the staff were very kind and accommodating. Also, I have to mention, this place had by far the best shower of any place we stayed in Croatia. There were a few thoughtful touches too, like they left 2 beach towels for us to use, which was very useful since we were traveling light and didn’t want to spend money buying anything! It was also very spacious, clean, and quiet - a perfect spot for couples looking to have some relaxation time! We will definitely be back!”
