Apartments Ankica Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Apartments Ankica on Katarine Zrinske street, you immediately get that feeling of stumbling onto something locals know about but tourists haven’t quite discovered yet. It’s this unassuming three-star property that sits quietly in Šibenik, and honestly — that’s exactly what makes it work. The building has that Mediterranean charm without trying too hard, you know? Clean lines, local stone, and none of that flashy resort nonsense that screams “tourist trap.”
The Apartment Experience
Each apartment here feels like staying in someone’s well-kept Croatian home rather than a sterile hotel room. The kitchen setup is actually functional — I mean, you can cook a proper meal if you want to, not just heat up instant noodles. What really caught my attention was how thoughtfully everything’s arranged; there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped, and the furnishings strike that perfect balance between practical and comfortable. The air conditioning works properly too, which matters more than you’d think during those sweltering Dalmatian summers.
Location and Getting Around
Here’s what I love about the location — you’re close enough to Šibenik’s old town that you can walk there in about ten minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with crowds of day-trippers right outside your window. The street itself is residential and quiet, lined with those typical Croatian apartment buildings that give you a real sense of how people actually live here. Plus, there’s parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend because finding a spot in the historic center can be a nightmare, especially during peak season.
What Makes It Special
The thing about Apartments Ankica is that it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. You’re not getting a spa or a fancy restaurant, but you are getting a genuine Croatian experience without the tourist markup. The owners clearly understand what travelers actually need — reliable WiFi, clean spaces, and that sense of having your own little base while exploring the region. I found myself using it as a launching pad for day trips to Krka National Park and the nearby islands, then coming back to decompress in what felt like my temporary Croatian home.
Why Guests Love It
Couples seem to really connect with this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own private space in this historic coastal city. You can grab fresh ingredients from the local market, cook dinner together, then walk hand-in-hand through Šibenik’s medieval streets. The free parking means you can easily explore the Kornati islands or drive up the coast to Zadar without worrying about where to leave your car. It’s that perfect combination of independence and authentic local flavor that makes you feel like you’re actually experiencing Croatia, not just visiting it.
Hotels near me in Sibenik deliver easy walks to cathedral squares, craft markets, and sunset bars.

za nás ok
Jediné co bych malinko vytkla tak mi v apartmánu chyběl jar , byla tam myčka ale tablety do myčky nebyli nebo pytle na odpadky televize byla nefunkční a ovladače bez baterek a hned po příchodu jsem se malinko zalekla vánoční výzdoby na dveřích 🙂 ještě mi tam chyběl smetáček a lopatka nebo koště jelikož jsem zvyklá po sobě uklidit tak mi chyběl nějaký hadřík neberu to jako stížnost to ne ale info pro majitele co by mohly doplnit. cena mi přišla malinko přehnaná ale jinak se nám tam moc líbilo byt čistý krásný terasa velká s grilem bazen cistý určitě se někdy vrátímeBernd from Germany – 17 September 2023 (9/10)
Wir haben das Zimmer für einen Zwischen Stopp gebucht. Es war sauber, hell, modern eingerichtet. Der Pool konnte mitbenutzt werden.
What could be improved: Die Aussicht ist gruselig und wir hatten Probleme mit W-LAN, was aber für eine Nacht letztlich auch nicht schlimm war.Jerzy from Poland – 14 September 2023 (9/10)
Czystość, dobry kontakt, miła atmosfera
What could be improved: Nie było takiegoPeter10 from Slovakia – 5 September 2023 (3/10)
What could be improved: The sea can only be reached safely by car, because there are no sidewalks in the locality.
The room is a converted garage, it has a maximum of 20m2, not 28 as indicated. In the photos it is not so cramped.Aurélie from France – 22 August 2023 (8/10)
L’appartement et la piscine étaient très bien
What could be improved: Une odeur désagréable (cigarette froide ?) dans l’appartementMerja from Australia – 18 August 2023 (4/10)
The pool was the only good thing about this place. The host did not speak English but was friendly enough
What could be improved: The location was awful- virtually in the middle of an industrial area. Surrounding places (accommodation yard was well looked after) were overgrown, rundown houses and junk. Our downstairs accommodation seriously looked like a garage that had been converted. Very small. The microwave didn't work although the owner did have another one to replace it with. The air conditioner temp was stuck on 1 setting so it was really cold. The area to sit outside our accom was in the driveway and the outdoor seating was old and uninviting. Don't book here if you haven't got a car- its a long way from the old town and the beach. I wish Booking dot.com could vet these places better and be more accountable. It seems like false advertising when you see something that looks great in pics but crap in realityVladimir from Slovakia – 27 July 2023 (7/10)
Pool was really nice and room was fine equipt with everything what you need on lond vacation.
What could be improved: Location of apartment. Apartment is far away from sea and about 15 minutes from nearest shop.Jalene from Belgium – 19 July 2023 (8/10)
Our whole holiday are awesome 👌facilities are excellent 👌 very comfortable place to stay👌 location is great , near with beaches and shops 👌
And Ankica ( the host) are very friendly 💕 I can say it’s highly recommended 👌Jean-marc from France – 16 July 2023 (9/10)
Appartement idéal pour séjourner après de grandes ballades. L'équipement très complet permet de faire son repas sur place ainsi que son linge. (Machine et sèche linge disponibles). Les fenêtres sont équipées de moustiquaires ce qui évite les intrusions. La piscine est la bienvenue car la mer est loin.
Nous sommes arrivés tard et répartis très tôt le lendemain sans que notre hôte ne soit gênée. Merci pour votre adaptabilité.
What could be improved: Rien à redire
