  The host gave us a great welcome with cookies, liquor and chocolates 😊 We really enjoyed the family retreat, and it's nice terrace and garden. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes from Šibenik, and very close to Krka National Park. The new bathroom and toilet are nicely done. The host is very helpful and kind. We hope to come again!

  Un plus las mosquiteras en las ventanas y aire acondicionado.
  Se aparca en la puerta

  Udoban i prostran, dobro opremljen apartman na mirnoj lokaciji po razumnoj cijeni. Sve čisto i uredno. Izuzetno susretljivi domaćini. Samo 5 min. do prekrasnog Šibenika.
  
  What could be improved: Mali minus je udaljenost od plaža. Potreban je auto.
