Karmelita’s Place – Studio embodies the perfect balance between historical character and contemporary convenience that today’s discerning travelers seek.

What truly distinguishes Karmelita’s Place is its unique positioning at the intersection of history and everyday Croatian life. Unlike larger hotel properties, this studio offers guests the opportunity to become temporary residents of Šibenik rather than mere tourists. The immediate surroundings feature authentic konobas (traditional restaurants) serving fresh seafood and local specialties, artisanal shops displaying Croatian craftsmanship, and hidden squares where you might find yourself engaged in conversation with friendly locals. The accommodation’s address, Prolaz kroz zidine 1, isn’t just a location—it’s an invitation to walk through the ancient walls that have witnessed centuries of Mediterranean history and to discover the authentic character of this remarkable Dalmatian city. As evening falls and the Adriatic sunset casts a golden glow over the limestone buildings, you’ll appreciate returning to your well-appointed studio, where the historical essence of Šibenik harmoniously blends with the comforts that have earned Karmelita’s Place its reputation as one of the city’s most satisfying accommodation options.

Reviews of Karmelita’s place -studio
Lucia from Ireland – 20 October 2024 (8/10)
Cosy studio at the heart of Sibenik, very quiet and charming. Studio was on the ground floor, but due to the different level with the street, the views from the window were really nice, overlooking the sea. Free parking available close to the studio and host gave clear instructions how to get there.
What could be improved: Based on personal opinion, I didn't like the fact that the shower has a curtain instead of a screen, but aknowledging that the curtain goes better with the overall atmosphere of the place.Harris-deans from United Kingdom – 10 June 2024 (7/10)
Good location & it had parking close by
What could be improved: The kitchen & bathrooms were a little dated & in need of some tlc. The room was smaller than expected as was the bathroom.Peter from Slovenia – 30 October 2023 (9/10)

Great location
Rovinrosie from United States – 26 June 2023 (9/10)
Very nice place to stay with lovely garden and outdoor seating. Though small, it's well laid out, with tasteful decor. Closer to beach than town. Recommend approaching from street above with luggage.
What could be improved: Could use more cutlery and kitchenware and the shower stall/curtain combo not goodBert from Belgium – 2 June 2023 (8/10)
Exellent location. Friendly host.
What could be improved: Tiny little shower for grown up BelgianBostjan from Slovenia – 30 April 2023 (9/10)
The apartment is very close to the city centre and is a good price to size ratio for Šibenik.
Owner was very friendly.
What could be improved: There was a bit of mould in the bathroom and the pipe was wobbly and hard to operate.
Also the owner is/was renowating so there was no sign for this place, we were looking for it and if the owner wouldn't call us from the window we would not find it.Helena from Czech Republic – 19 October 2022 (8/10)
We very much appreciated the map of the city and also owners tips on good restaurants 🙂
What could be improved: As a couple, would appreciate more to have a double bed instead of two single beds together.Henryk from Poland – 28 September 2022 (8/10)
What could be improved: It's very quiet place, only issue is church bell very loud and ringing 7am every day.
