Apartment Mario – Šibenik center Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Apartment Mario – Šibenik center, you immediately get that “local gem” feeling — it’s tucked right into the heart of Šibenik on a quiet street that somehow manages to be central without all the tourist chaos. The building has that authentic Croatian charm, and honestly, Mario clearly knows what he’s doing here. This three-star property delivers exactly what you need for exploring one of Croatia’s most underrated coastal towns. The attention to detail and thoughtful design make it an excellent choice for travelers seeking an authentic local experience.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s the thing about the location — couples are rating it 9.8 out of 10, and I totally get why. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from St. James Cathedral (that UNESCO World Heritage site everyone talks about), and the old town’s stone streets are right at your doorstep. What I really appreciated was being able to wander down to the waterfront in the evening without dealing with crowds, then slip back to the apartment when you’ve had enough. The Krka National Park is about 20 minutes away by car, which makes this a perfect base if you’re planning day trips. The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
The Space Itself
The room setup is pretty smart — it feels more like staying in a friend’s place than a typical hotel. There’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in, which you don’t always get with three-star places. The kitchen area is basic but functional, perfect for making coffee in the morning or storing those Croatian wines you’ll inevitably buy. Everything’s clean and well-maintained, and you can tell Mario takes pride in keeping things up to standard. The thoughtful layout maximizes comfort and convenience for extended stays.
Practical Perks
One thing that really stood out — free parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in a European old town, you know this is basically gold. No circling around narrow medieval streets or paying ridiculous daily rates. The whole setup just works smoothly, from check-in to getting settled. The building’s quiet too, which matters when you’re trying to recover from long days of sightseeing or those Croatian wine tastings that go later than planned. These practical amenities make all the difference in your overall experience.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to overwhelm you with fancy amenities or a flashy lobby, but it nails the fundamentals perfectly. You’re staying in one of Croatia’s most beautiful historic towns, in a spot that locals would actually choose, with none of the tourist trap nonsense. The 9.5 rating makes complete sense — it’s the kind of place where everything just works as it should. For the price point and location, you’re getting genuine value rather than paying for extras you probably won’t use anyway. This property represents an outstanding choice for discerning travelers.
Hotel in Sibenik reservations spike before summer festivals, so savvy travelers lock in sea-breeze suites months in advance.

Apartman Mario je ispunio sva naša očekivanja i potrebe. Na idealnoj lokaciji, na samo par minuta hoda do starog grada i luke. Mario je bio idealan domaćin sa svim potrebnim informacijama i uputama, i veoma susretljiv tokom našeg boravka. Sve preporuke za apartman i domaćina Maria.

Mlinarić from Croatia – 31 July 2022 (10/10)
Apsolutno sve je onako kako je navedeno, najbitnije nam je bilo to što je apartman čist, tako da sve pohvale. Također, pohvale domaćinu Mariu koji nas je dočekao i prošetao s nama susjedstvom kako bi nam sve pokazao i dao preporuke što posjetiti van grada, gdje jesti, itd.

Mario è una persona molto gentile e disponibile, ci ha dato consigli su dove mangiare e sui posti da visitare, la struttura era pulita ed il parcheggio privato in loco è molto comodo. Distante solo 5 minuti , a piedi, dal centro città. Consigliato come soggiorno.
