    It was very clean & great location! The staff was very good at communicating to us about parking etc. They were kind enough to notify me that I forgot something at the place after checking out! Thank you!

  • Simona from Slovenia – 19 July 2024 (10/10)

    A modernly equipped, air-conditioned apartment, spacious enough for a family, in a great location for a short stay and sightseeing in the old town of Šibenik, with a free parking space nearby.

    What could be improved: Nothing to say.

  • Helena from Croatia – 13 June 2024 (9/10)

    Beautiful little apartment in center with parking. What else can a tourist want? And it also smells so nice 🫠. Host is very pleasant and helpful.
    I would just recommend to update the apartment with smart tv and key box for leaving the key when going out.

    What could be improved: Nothing to say 🙂

  • Josephine from Singapore – 9 June 2024 (9/10)

    The location is just off the old town. The owner also provided parking for our rental car.

  • Zihna from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 21 September 2023 (10/10)

    The apartment is spatious, stylish, and the location is perfect. It has free parking, what is rare to find with this location. The beach is a bit far away, but we didn't mind walking.

    The host is super nice. Communication was great. There were fruits waiting for us when we checked in, it was a nice surprise after a long trip.

  • Natasha from France – 15 August 2023 (9/10)

    Wonderful to have a car parking space and to be so close to the center. Very friendly hosts and a well equipped place.

    What could be improved: Not really possible to open curtains because a café is just next door.

  • Sabsy from United Kingdom – 9 October 2022 (10/10)

  • Mindaugas from Lithuania – 30 August 2022 (10/10)

    We had an impeccable stay at Glicinia. First of all, we were very pleased by super amazing hosts who looked after us everyday and even cooked a traditional Croatian dinner for us! Also, the host was able to accomodate us at the last minute late evening. The apartment itself is very cozy and you feel like at home there, it smells very nice, it's super clean and has all what you might need during your stay, from coffee machine to massage in the shower! The location is also amazing, you step out straight into the town square and best bars and restaurants are only few mins walk away. We are super delighted by this stay and will recommend it to anyone who is planning to visit Croatia 😉
