About the home

A nice, just refurbished, big room with air con (in the high season cost included in the price) for a good night sleep and continental breakfast. Free airport transfers. In central position in lovely old town of Zadar. Pedestrian zone in the center of the town, quiet and clean. Balcony with a view. Linen and towels provided. New comfortable beds and mattresses. Unlimited Wi-fi if you wish to use your laptop or you can use ours occasionally to stay in touch and keep informed. You can choose culture, sun bathing and swimming, bird watching during your stay. Four national parks in short driving distance from the town: mountains, islands, lakes or waterfalls. We can take you to Plitvice or Krka waterfalls, island of Pag, Split, Medjugorje or you can go yourself, plenty of choice in town. If you wish to look for the property to buy we know the area, law and customs.

IMPORTANT: We don't mind smokers, as they can enjoy cigarette and a drink on the balcony, we don't smoke ourselves and prefer smoke free house.

For OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS see rental rates information below.

PLEASE NOTE: Zadar is fully functioning Mediterranean town with all amenities and beautiful surroundings so you can be entertained in the town and escape to uncrowded beaches and places during the day if you wish to do so.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Many places advertised are in remote location, with no amenities around and still with a lot of tourists and crowded in the high season. Out of season very, very boring and after a day you will have to come to town where is quiet but a lot of good quality choices for eating out, entertainment, beaches, shops and transport. You have to calculate the cost of local transport, taxis or car hire if you want to see something and do something. They are advertised as Zadar but they are not, it takes an hour or more to reach the town and there is no air con in the buses and it is hot and crowded in the high season. You will pay for the local transport as much as for accommodation and you will have to use taxi in the evening.

If they say it is 10 minutes from the town don’t believe it if you don't have a pair of wings. It is not a city bus, it goes every 2 hours, it is not reliable and you have to wait for it and walk to and from the station and on +30 C heat (from the early morning) it is not a pleasant experience. To waste 2 hours of your valuable holiday time and energy is simply a bad holiday experience. We talked to the people who made a mistake staying out of the town but it was too late to change it and that is why we would like you to choose wisely.

STAY IN THE CENTER OF THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN, HAVE FUN AND LONG WALKS BY THE SEA. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: ENTERTAINMENT AND PEACE, IT IS YOUR CHOICE.

“Fantastic location” The property is right in the center of the town. The see front is just a few minutes walk to either side. The appartment is up 4 flights of stairs and beside the bell tower which rings at 7 every morning, this may not be to everybody's taste, but we didn't mind it. The accomadation was lovely and the food, cooked by the warm and loving Vladka, was beautiful. Goran and Vladka brought us on many trips and went out of their way to show us their beautiful country. They couldn't have done more to make us feel part of their family.

“Fantastic Holiday!” Really lovely room, very clean and bright. The couple were so friendly and helpful. Advised on the best things to do with our week in Zadar and always told us the cheapest way we could do trips (which we really appreciated being students). Would definitely stay there again as the location was perfect. Really really enjoyed my holiday. Response: We always try to help guests with some advice. The wise guests always ask locals/us and have a better holiday. It is a pleasure to help people who think and care. We are independent and not connected to any establishments whatsoever in any shape or form. We seen and tried all the things and places we recommend and also listen to our guests and other visitors and try to collect correct information and then pass it on. The only reason we do that is that happy guest means satisfaction for us and a great pleasure that someone had fantastic holiday.

“Amazing location with friendly hosts” Excellent location in the heart of the city, literally just beside the main promenade. The only downside of this are the bells which ring quite loudly which may not be to everybodies taste. The hosts could not have done more for us during our stay and provided us with an insight into Croatian culture, history and a taste of some beautiful homecooked dishes prepared by the loving & warm Vladka. Response: In accommodation located in the pedestrian centre of beautiful medieval Mediterranean Zadar (or any other town like this) by the 9th century church and 13th century cathedral and a bell tower and other churches and monuments around, there must be some noise from the bells. Guests are expecting that and it is a part of the charm of having a holiday in town such is Zadar. It is no desert island and guests actually love the combination of monuments, churches, promenade, sun and nice weather, long walks by the seaside, sea and beaches, good food and good value, choice of restaurants and bars, good free and paid entertainment, transport links, 4 beautiful national parks in vicinity, relaxing atmosphere and enjoyment and excitement of holiday. The advantages of accommodation in centre of the town with all the bells and whistles (sometimes) are many; otherwise people choose desert islands or remote villages but the bells from the village church might still bother someone.

Hello Goran
Thank you again to you and your wife for looking after us so well when we stayed with you last week. We really had a wonderful time and to have a birthday cake especially baked for David was really so kind. Hope you have had a good week and it was so nice to meet with you both.

Dear Goran,
Indeed yes they have both been telling me all about their fantastic adventures and what wonderful hosts you both are! Next weekend we are going to cook stuffed peppers for me as I hear it’s completely delicious!
Thank you both for all the kindness you showed to my family.
With very best wishes, Sally

Dear Goran,

I am sure we will be back some day, or if you come back to Scotland let us know.

Hi Goran
Just a quick note to say what a great holiday we had in Zadar and thank you for making it extra enjoyable with the trips out and the advice and information you gave us.
We've told all our friends and family what a great place Zadar is and how it appears to be an untapped market for the British holidaymaker!
I am sure we will return one day.
Thanks again
Jo and Simon

The property's weekend rates apply to: Saturday and Sunday nights

NB: Prices may be subject to change at the advertiser's discretion.

Nightly rate in Euros (or in any currency as long as it is equivalent to the price in Euros) per night for two people including continental breakfast tea or coffee and transfers from Zadar airport on arrival and to Zadar airport on departure (50 E value if you use taxi). Weekly rate include discount. Ideal for 2 people. Early and late in the season single guests welcome, 2 weeks staying additional 5% discount. Prices do not include local city tax of 7 HRK (less than 1 Euro) per day per person, payable directly to the local council. This is necessary for insurance purposes and your own safety, security and piece of mind. This is obligatory to all guests in hotels, camps or private accommodation. Use of air conditioning included in the high season (July and August), the rest of the year the prices are lower and don't include air conditioning. However on paying additional fee of €5 per night you can use it if you wish. This is only for the night use and not for 24 hours use (presumably you will spend time outside and on the beach so you would not need it during the daytime). It is widely known that we do not produce energy ourselves and that we have to pay for it same as all other people so the charge is normal and the rate is usual in this parts of the world.

PLEASE NOTE-AVAILABILITY: Availability calendar is not always marked correctly and always e-mail or call for up to date availability.

PLEASE NOTE-PRICE: Accommodation is priced very correctly as we know the market. The rates are higher that the hostels but you will get much more for not much more money, good quality, adjustable, made to order real oak beds and proper (not cheap tourist sort) mattresses , breakfast, transfer, privacy, good advice and personal help if you need it and location close to the sea, entertainment, restaurants, public transport. It is also much, much better value than expensive hotel Bastion just 100m away or even average hotel Porto in the industrial suburbs of the town hard to find and far from the center and in the heath not easy to walk. We do not pay or receive any commission from anybody and recommend only what we know and hear from our guests. We are trying to keep guests happy and for what we offer the rates are more than reasonable especially if you calculate all extras we add for free.

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS Stay in Zadar and see more of Croatia in relaxed, comfortable and informed way (one day for 2 people, car, petrol and driver and guide included; attractions tickets and food not included). Payment on the day of the excursion, further details and prices available on request. Those are just recommended itineraries based on our experiences what people like and what is possible to see in a day but we can change it according to your preferences. More details about those places easily available from official web sites and town's internet pages.
