Apartments Stella Mariela Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartments Stella Mariela, I’ll be honest — the building itself doesn’t scream high-end, but there’s something immediately welcoming about the place. It’s tucked away on Ivana Meštrovića street, which actually turned out to be perfect because you’re close enough to everything but far enough from the tourist chaos. The parking situation alone won me over — having your own guaranteed spot in Šibenik is basically gold, especially during summer when the old town gets absolutely packed.

The Apartment Experience

What really surprised me was how spacious and well-thought-out my apartment was. I mean, this is a four-star property, so I had decent expectations, but the attention to detail caught me off guard. The kitchen actually has everything you need — not just the bare minimum like some places. I ended up cooking a few meals using ingredients from the local market, and honestly, it felt more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel. The air conditioning works perfectly (crucial in Croatian summers), and the Wi-Fi is solid throughout.

Location Perks

Here’s what I love about where this place sits — you can walk to Šibenik’s UNESCO-listed cathedral in about ten minutes, but you’re not dealing with the noise and crowds right outside your window. The location gets an 8.9 rating from guests, and I totally get why. There’s a small grocery store just around the corner, and if you’re into morning runs, the waterfront path is easily accessible. Plus, if you’re planning day trips to Krka National Park or the Kornati Islands, you’re perfectly positioned without having to navigate through the narrow old town streets with a car.

What Makes It Work

The staff here actually knows what they’re doing — they’re not just going through the motions. When I had questions about local restaurant recommendations, they gave me spots where locals eat, not just the obvious tourist traps. The cleaning service is thorough without being intrusive, and they’re flexible about timing if you want to sleep in or head out early. The whole operation feels family-run, which in Croatia usually means they actually care about your experience rather than just processing bookings.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples rate this place 8.8 for good reason — it’s got that sweet spot of privacy and accessibility that’s hard to find. You get the independence of having your own space with a proper room setup, but you’re not isolated from what makes Šibenik special. The 9.6 rating isn’t just about the apartment itself; it’s about how the whole experience comes together. Whether you’re using it as a base for exploring Dalmatia or just want to soak up the local vibe without the hotel crowd, this place delivers without trying too hard to impress you.

Apartments in Sibenik suit long stays with stone balconies, kitchenettes, and views of St. James Cathedral.
