Apartments Vendi Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Apartments Vendi — it’s tucked away in this quiet residential area that feels more like a local neighborhood than a tourist zone. But you know what? That turned out to be exactly what made it special. The building itself is modern and clean, nothing flashy, but there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels authentic rather than touristy. Plus, finding a parking spot right on site was such a relief after driving through Šibenik’s narrow old town streets.

The Perfect Šibenik Base

The location is actually brilliant once you understand the area. You’re about a 10-minute walk from Šibenik’s historic center, which means you get the best of both worlds — easy access to all those stunning stone churches and waterfront restaurants, but you can escape back to peace and quiet when the day-trippers get overwhelming. I mean, couples absolutely love this spot (and I can see why), because you feel like you’re living in a real Croatian neighborhood rather than just passing through. The walk into town takes you past local cafes and small shops that most tourists never discover.

The Apartment Experience

The apartments at Apartments Vendi are what I’d call thoughtfully practical — they’re not trying to be fancy, but everything you need is there and it all works properly. The kitchenette was well-equipped enough that I could make proper meals (which saved money and let me shop at the local market), and the living space felt comfortable for longer stays. The beds were actually good quality, not those saggy mattresses you sometimes get in budget places. What impressed me most was how clean and well-maintained everything felt — you can tell the owners really care about their property.

Local Life and Practicalities

Having that free parking spot cannot be overstated if you’re driving in Croatia — it’s worth its weight in gold, especially during summer when finding parking in coastal towns becomes a nightmare. The neighborhood itself has this lovely residential vibe where you’ll see locals walking their dogs in the evening and kids playing in the small parks. There’s a decent grocery store within walking distance, and I discovered this little bakery that does amazing pastries for breakfast. It’s the kind of place where you start to feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist.

Why Guests Love It

This three-star property punches well above its weight because it gets the fundamentals right — location, cleanliness, and value. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or fancy amenities you don’t need, but you are getting a genuinely comfortable base for exploring one of Croatia’s most underrated cities. The high ratings make perfect sense once you stay here — it’s the kind of place that exceeds expectations by simply being honest about what it offers and delivering on those promises consistently.

Early hotels booking in Sibenik secures fortress concerts, Kornati yacht charters, and private island picnics.

Reviews of Apartments Vendi

  • Dorota from Poland – 9 April 2025 (9/10)

    Apartman se nalazi vrlo blizu mora (samo 2 minute pješke), ima parkirno mjesto, a gospođa domaćica je jako simpatična i komunikativna. Apartman je idealan za 2 do 4 osobe (ima krevet i kauč), ima dovoljno prostora za kuhanje i mali balkon na kojem možete uživati u jutarnjoj kavi 🙂

    Mały apartament, wystarczający dla 2-4 osob (jest łóżko plus rozkładana kanapa) z kuchnią, oddzielnym wejściem i balkonem, gdzie mozna wypić poranną kawę z super widokiem. Bardzo blisko morza – wystarczy zejść 2 minuty ulicą i już jesteśmy na plaży. Właścicielka sympatyczna i pomocna. Serdecznie polecam 🙂

  • Leona from Czech Republic – 14 August 2024 (8/10)

    Klid a velmi příjemný přístup p. Gordany… dobře vybavená kuchyně, prostorná lednice.

    What could be improved: Moře v nejbližším okolí..koupat jsme se jeli jinam.

  • Zbyněk from Czech Republic – 1 October 2023 (8/10)

    Klidná lokalita, blízko vodní plochy, vstřícná majitelka, k dispozici je parkovací místo.

  • Valerii from Poland – 14 September 2023 (9/10)

    10/10 super dzięki Walerian

  • Tomasik from Poland – 7 September 2023 (9/10)

    Family hosting. So sweet and warm. You do 200 steps and can dive into the water. Figs were so testy so we did some pastries inhouse.

  • Csilla from Hungary – 7 September 2023 (9/10)

    Nagyon csendes, otthonos, jól felszerelt apartman, közel a vízparthoz, csodálatos terasz a szőlőlugas árnyékában, nagyon kedves házigazda.

    What could be improved: Túl kevés időt töltöttünk ott! 😀
    Nem volt semmi negatívum!

  • Igor from Slovenia – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

    Prijazna gostiteljica, ustrežljiva. Zelo mirna lokacija, tišina in blizu plaže.

  • Šárka from Czech Republic – 16 July 2023 (9/10)

    Příjemné prostředí a paní Gordana je velmi milá,tak že jsme si připadali,jako mezi přáteli,které známe dlouhá léta a nejen těch pár dní,které jsme tam ztrávili
    Dovolenou jsme trávili s rodiči,kterým naprosto vyhovovalo,že je moře opravdu kousek.

    What could be improved: Byla jsem trochu rozčarováná,že bylo letos dost komárů a much,na co nejsem v Chorvatsku zvyklá,ale to nemá s ubytováním v apartmánu Vendi nic společného…to je prostě příroda.

  • Ronja from Germany – 9 July 2023 (9/10)

    Gordana war so eine tolle Gastgeberin, einmal haben wir den Garten gelobt und gleich einen Lavendelstrauss bekommen. Ausserdem wohnen vor Ort süße Katzen und der kurze Weg zum Wasser ist ein riesiger Vorteil für faule Tage. Unsere Wohnung im Erdgeschoss hat eine Aussentoilette, sodass man zu zweit in unterschiedlichen Zimmern schlafen kann ohne sich gegenseitig zu wecken. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es empfiehlt sich mit dem Auto zu kommen.

  • Melanie from Germany – 19 September 2022 (9/10)

    Die Lage ist wunderbar, noch nicht mal 1 Minute zu Fuß zum Strand. Gordana, die Gastgeberin ist entzückend, sie hat uns gebeten Trauben, Aprikosen,Feigen und Datteln im Garten zu pflücken und zu essen, bevor die super leckeren Früchte verfaulen.
    Als sie Kuchen gebacken hat, hat sie mich gerufen und mir einen Teller mit Kuchen für uns gegeben.
    Das Apartment ist mit allem aus gestattet,was man im Urlaub benötigt, eine Waschmaschine ist auch vorhanden, dadurch muss man nicht so viel Gepäck mitnehmen, denn man kann ja zwischendurch waschen.

    What could be improved: Ich weiß nicht was ich hier hin schreiben soll, denn es gab für uns nichts auszusetzen.
