Apartments Durda Overview
First Impressions
Apartments Durda sits quietly on Cvijetna ulica, just a short walk from Šibenik’s historic center — and honestly, the location couldn’t be better. When I first arrived, I was struck by how residential and peaceful the street feels, yet you’re literally minutes from the cathedral and old town buzz. The building itself has that clean, modern Croatian apartment style that’s become popular along the coast, and there’s something immediately reassuring about pulling up to find dedicated parking waiting for you (trust me, this matters more than you think in Croatian coastal towns).
The Neighborhood Advantage
What I love about staying here is that you get the authentic Šibenik experience without the tourist chaos. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where locals actually go about their daily business, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. You can walk to the UNESCO World Heritage cathedral in about ten minutes, and the waterfront promenade is just as close. I mean, couples clearly get this — the rating speaks for itself when it comes to romantic getaways. There’s something about being able to duck away from the crowds but still have easy access to Šibenik’s stunning architecture and those incredible sunset views over the Adriatic.
The Apartment Experience
The three-star rating here doesn’t tell the whole story — these apartments punch well above their weight. Each unit feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed place than a typical hotel room. You’ll find proper kitchens (not just mini-fridges), which is perfect if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the local market and cook with a view. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with that clean, minimalist aesthetic that lets the Croatian light pour in through generous windows. Actually, having your own apartment setup gives you flexibility that regular hotel rooms just can’t match, especially if you’re planning to explore the nearby Krka National Park or take day trips to the Kornati Islands.
Practical Perks That Matter
Let’s talk about what really makes a difference when you’re traveling — the free private parking is genuinely valuable here. If you’ve ever tried to find parking in Croatian coastal towns during summer, you know this is worth its weight in gold. The fact that recent guests rated the location so highly (9.0) tells you everything about how well-positioned Apartments Durda really is. You’re close enough to walk everywhere you need to go, but far enough from the main tourist strips that you can actually get a good night’s sleep. The combination of residential quiet and urban accessibility is pretty much perfect for exploring Šibenik at your own pace.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.6 rating isn’t an accident — it comes from the kind of details that matter when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The apartments give you independence while keeping you connected to everything Šibenik has to offer. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners on your private terrace or using the place as a base for island-hopping adventures, Apartments Durda delivers that sweet spot between comfort and authenticity that’s honestly hard to find along the Croatian coast these days.

Reviews of Apartments Durda
Brona from Slovakia – 30 September 2024 (10/10)
Everything was perfect. Nice and calm location, just 5 minutes to the beach (we prefered the Rezaliste beach). We enjoyed the pool as well. Mrs. Durda was so nice, polite, very helpful! We stayed at the upper apartment, which has nice and long balcony with patrial sea view. The apartment is smaller than we thought (especially the bathroom that lacked a shelf for storage), but that was the only disadvantage. Center of Sibenik is just 7 minutes drive from Brodarica.
What could be improved: Everything was just fine.Aleksandra from Poland – 31 August 2024 (10/10)
Cudowne miejsce dla ceniących sobie ciszę i spokój.Klimatycznie i kameralnie. Pięknie, czysto, bardzo dobrze wyposażony apartament. Świetny czysty basen. Do plaży spacerek 5 min. Świetna baza wypadową do zwiedzania okolicy. Cudowna pani właścicielka którą serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Tatjana from Switzerland – 29 July 2024 (9/10)
Sehr sehr freundliche Gastgeber! Alles sehr sauber und einladend. Der Pool war sauber und bei unsern Kindern sehr beliebt. Wunderschöne gedeckte Gartenterrasse mit Cheminee, Küche und Kühlschrank. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. In den Kater Vicko haben wir uns verliebt 😍

Baptiste from France – 12 September 2023 (9/10)
Hôtes très sympathiques. Ils vivent au rdc de la maison et sont disponibles en cas de besoin.
Logement très propre à l'arrivée, plus grand que sur les photos. Présence d'un climatiseur, idéal lors des journées chaudes. Plusieurs serviettes étaient fournies, ce qui permettait d'en changer régulièrement comme à l'hôtel. Il n'y a pas de lit bébé mais cela ne nous dérangeait pas que notre bébé dorme avec nous. Présence d'un emplacement pour garer la voiture à côté de la maison.
Grand balcon avec vue sur la piscine donc idéal pour surveiller les enfants, et vue sur la mer au loin.
La piscine était accessible aux vacanciers. Nous avons pu y jouir de façon privée pendant tout le séjour !
Un autre logement en location est situé au même étage et juste en face. Nous avons trouvé que l'isolation était bonne. De plus, il n'y a pas de vis-à-vis entre les logements. Les balcons des 2 appartements sont situés à l'opposé ce qui permet de maintenir une certaine intimité.
Excellente localisation : à 5 min à pied de la mer et d'un petit supermarché (Konzum), d'une boulangerie, à moins de 10 min en voiture de grand supermarchés (Tommy, Lidl, Kaufland etc).
Je recommande cet appartement et je souhaiterais y séjourner si jamais je devais retourner à Brodarica avec ma famille !
What could be improved: Appartement pas facile à trouver mais n'hésitez pas à contacter les propriétaires qui pourront vous envoyer la localisation via Google Map.
Le principal défaut est l'absence de volets, ce qui fait que la lumière du jour pénètrait le matin malgré la présence des rideaux. Cela a été gênant pour nous car notre bébé se réveillait beaucoup plus tôt que d'habitude.טויזר from Israel – 14 September 2022 (10/10)
great family and amazing hospitality

private parking spot, quiet location near ŠibenikEvelina from Lithuania – 15 August 2022 (10/10)
Everything was perfect, location close to sea, it’s so cosy and beautiful.
István from Romania – 19 July 2022 (10/10)
The apartment was fully equipped with everything what you would need on a vacation, e.g. washing machine, fridge, AC, any many more. The terrace was great, was spacious, and you were able to see the sea from there. With a 5 min. walk you were at the beach. The owners were very friendly with us, and kind. They surprised us with cheesecake, and they even prepared a traditional and very delicious dinner for us, it was perfect! The apartment is located 10 min away by car from the old town of Sibenik. There are many great beaches in the area, some of them reachable in a few min by car. Primosten, which is a lovely little town, is ~20 min away from the apartment by car. I highly recommend this place.
