Holiday Home Hacienda Bilice Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Holiday Home Hacienda Bilice, I’ll admit I was a bit unsure — the name suggests something grand and sprawling, but what you actually get is this charming four-star property tucked away in the quiet village of Bilice, just outside Šibenik. The free parking right on site was honestly a relief (you know how tricky parking can be in Croatian coastal areas), and the whole place has this relaxed, residential feel that immediately puts you at ease. It’s not trying to be a flashy resort, which I actually appreciated.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s what I love about staying in Bilice — you’re close enough to Šibenik to easily explore the old town and those incredible medieval streets, but far enough out to escape the summer crowds that can overwhelm the main tourist areas. The drive into Šibenik takes maybe 10 minutes, and honestly, having that car park included means you can come and go as you please without the stress of hunting for parking spots. I found myself using the place as a perfect base for day trips along the coast, and couples seem to really get this — the recent guest ratings show they’re rating it highly for romantic getaways.
The Accommodation
The rooms at Holiday Home Hacienda Bilice feel more like staying in a well-appointed apartment than a typical hotel room, which makes sense given the property’s setup. Everything’s clean and comfortable, with enough space to actually unpack and settle in for a few days. I mean, when you’re staying somewhere with a 9.4 rating, you expect things to be well-maintained, and this place delivers on that front. The décor isn’t going to win any design awards, but it’s pleasant and functional — sort of like staying at a friend’s really nice vacation home.
The Neighborhood Experience
What struck me most about this area is how authentically Croatian it feels. You’re not in some tourist bubble here — Bilice is a real village where locals go about their daily lives, and there’s something refreshing about that after visiting some of the more commercialized coastal spots. The recent guests have been rating the location at 8.5 out of 10, and I can see why. You get that peaceful, away-from-it-all feeling while still being connected to everything you want to see and do around Šibenik and the wider region.
Why Guests Love It
Honestly, I think this place works so well because it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s a solid, well-run accommodation that gives you exactly what you need for exploring this part of Croatia — comfort, convenience, and that all-important free parking. The high ratings from couples make perfect sense to me; there’s something romantic about having your own little retreat where you can plan day trips to places like Krka National Park or the Kornati Islands, then come back to your quiet base in the evening. It’s the kind of place that lets the destination be the star while providing you with a really comfortable home base.

We had a great stay at this house. We were with two families and every family had their own floor. We loved the outdoor kitchen hangout where we spent most of our time while at the house. The house is well equiped with cookings supplies etc.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful, they welcomed us with cold drinks in the fridge and even brought gifts for our friends daughter when they saw on the passport that it was her birthday! So lovely!
It's located in a quiet area, but within 10 minutes from Sibenik. Perfect!
What could be improved: The pool was a bit smaller than most pools at holiday houses, but we knew that in advance and did not mind.
