Apartman Dora, Sibenik, Sibensko-kninska Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartman Dora on Ulica Vatroslava Lisinskog, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. This four-star apartment sits in one of those quiet residential streets that locals actually use — you know, where you’ll hear Croatian conversations drifting from windows rather than just tourist chatter. The building itself has that Mediterranean charm without trying too hard, and honestly, the location score of 9.6 from recent guests isn’t just numbers on a screen.

The Heart of Šibenik

Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re actually in Šibenik, not some tourist bubble on the outskirts. The UNESCO World Heritage Cathedral of St. James is practically around the corner, and you can wander those narrow stone streets without feeling like you’re following a guidebook route. I mean, you’ll stumble across little konobas (that’s local taverns, by the way) where the owner’s grandmother is still making the pašticada. The old town’s maze of medieval streets becomes your playground, and when you need a breather, the waterfront promenade is just a few minutes’ walk down the hill.

Your Home Base

The room setup here works really well — it’s got that apartment-style layout that gives you space to actually live a bit, not just sleep and shower. There’s a proper kitchen area where you can store those Croatian wines you’ll inevitably buy (trust me on this), and the whole place feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel. The furnishings are modern without being sterile, and you’ve got good natural light coming through — something that matters more than you’d think when you’re planning your day over morning coffee.

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

I get why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. Šibenik has this intimate scale that bigger coastal cities like Split sometimes lack — you can explore the entire old town in an afternoon, then find yourselves a quiet spot overlooking the Krka River estuary as the sun sets. The apartment gives you privacy and flexibility, so you’re not tied to hotel meal times or crowded lobby areas. Plus, you’re perfectly positioned for day trips to Krka National Park (those waterfalls are absolutely worth the hype) or the Kornati Islands if you’re feeling adventurous.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Apartman Dora apart is how it connects you to authentic Šibenik life while keeping you comfortable. You’ll wake up to the sounds of a real neighborhood — maybe church bells from one of the historic churches, or the morning bustle from the nearby market. The location means you can grab fresh produce and local specialties without hunting for tourist-friendly shops. And when evening comes, you’re not stuck choosing between overpriced hotel dining or wandering aimlessly — you know exactly where to find that perfect little restaurant tucked away in the old town’s labyrinth, because you’ve been exploring like a local all day.

  • Marie from Czech Republic – 3 August 2024 (8/10)

    Ubytování bylo čisté, prostorné a nově vybavené. Klimatizace je jen v obýváku ale vychladí všechny pokoje. Majitel je skvělý komunikuje rychle a poradí se vším. Umístění apartmánu je skvělé kousek do města a autem par minut na pláž. Funkční myčka sporák, vybavení na vaření dostačující

    What could be improved: Malé minus bylo jen vyšší patro bez výtahu.

  • Mina from Croatia – 29 July 2024 (8/10)

    This is a very clean and nicely decorated apartment (it looks better than on pictures); it is very comfortable and has all necessary appliances. Location is excellent as shops, the old town, bus station and ferry port and basically everything needed can all be reached on foot. The owner is nice, pleasant and responsive.

  • Ferenc from Romania – 16 July 2024 (8/10)

    Minden tökéletes volt, csendes, nyugodt környezet,szép kilátással, segítőkész házigazda

  • Vukorepa from Ireland – 9 July 2024 (8/10)

    Apartman Dora was an excellent stay, both comfortable and beautifully decorated, located at the calm part of the centre of Sibenik – only a short walk away from the riviera. The facilities exceeded our expectations and the host was just amazing.

    Well done to the host!

    What could be improved: Everything was great.

  • Tjasa from Slovenia – 2 June 2024 (8/10)

    Perfect location, few minutes from ‘historical’ city/open food market. Apartment is clean, kitchen is fully equipped (freshly renovated), I really enjoyed morning’s on the eastern balcony (it has it’s charm). Host is very nice, friendly and supportive, so you will really feel like home. There was also no problems with parking space. Highly recommended!

    What could be improved: Only positive thoughts.

  • Zuzana from Czech Republic – 15 September 2023 (8/10)

    What could be improved: Jediný nedostatek je vyšší patro bez výtahu.

  • Matić from Croatia – 20 August 2023 (8/10)

  • Marin from Croatia – 31 July 2023 (8/10)

    Prije svega objekt je izuzetno čist i uredan, vlasnik je uvijek dostupan i izuzetno pristojan, lokacija je odlična ima puno sadržaja do kojih se može i pješke, sve u svemu izuzetno iskustvo, i definitivno bi se opet vratili!

  • Jean from France – 17 July 2023 (8/10)
