Kuća za odmor – My Soul

Kuća za odmor – My Soul Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Kuća za odmor – My Soul, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place tucked away in the hills above Šibenik. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries come when you least expect them. This little retreat sits in the village of Goriš, about a 15-minute drive from the main city, and the moment you step out of your car (which you can park right on-site for free, by the way), you’re hit with this incredible sense of peace that’s hard to find these days.

The Setting

The location is honestly what makes this place special — and I mean really special. Perched up in Mandići, you’re surrounded by olive groves and traditional Dalmatian stone houses that look like they’ve been there forever. The view stretches down toward the Adriatic, and on clear days you can actually see some of the islands dotting the coastline. It’s the kind of spot where couples come to disconnect from everything, which explains why it scores so highly with romantic getaways. The silence here is something else — no traffic, no city noise, just the occasional sound of cicadas and maybe a neighbor’s rooster in the morning.

The Accommodation

My room was simple but thoughtfully arranged, with that clean, minimalist vibe that actually feels refreshing after staying in overly decorated hotels. The stone walls give it character, and there’s something about the way the light filters through the windows that makes even afternoon naps feel special. The owners clearly put effort into the details — good linens, reliable Wi-Fi (which matters more than you’d think when you’re this far from town), and a small kitchenette that’s perfect if you want to prepare simple meals with ingredients from the local markets.

Getting Around

Here’s what you need to know about the location — yes, you’ll want a car. The parking is free and right there, which is actually a huge plus since finding spots in Šibenik’s old town can be a nightmare during summer. The drive down to the city takes you through some gorgeous countryside, and honestly, I found myself taking the scenic route just because. Šibenik’s UNESCO-listed cathedral is worth the trip alone, and you’re also perfectly positioned for day trips to Krka National Park or even the islands if you’re feeling adventurous.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.3 rating, this place clearly does something right, and I think it comes down to authenticity. You’re not getting a polished resort experience here — instead, you’re getting a genuine taste of Croatian countryside life, but with all the modern comforts you actually need. The owners are locals who know the area inside and out, so don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or just need somewhere quiet to recharge, Kuća za odmor – My Soul delivers exactly what its name promises — a place where you can actually find a bit of peace for your soul.

Best hotels in Sibenik blend rooftop pools, herbal spa rituals, and sea-view terraces facing the archipelago.

  Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Pool ist super. Die Gastgeberin Drina ist super nett und steht jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung.

• Markus from Germany – 3 September 2023 (9/10)

  Nice Pool, very friendly owner

• Rebecca from United Kingdom – 16 August 2023 (10/10)

  Beautiful, well equipped and spotlessly clean, inside and out. Lovely quiet location with a shop, restaurant and bakery a 10 minute drive away. We loved the pool and it was so well lit in the evenings for balmy outdoor meals. We had everything we needed for our very special holiday with two teens. And Drina, our host, greeeted us soon after arrival, and then returned on our final eve to cook us a pizza in the woodburning pizza oven. What a treat. She couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Lovely local walks too. Thank you Drina!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Miriam from Germany – 7 July 2023 (10/10)

  Sehr schönes und ordentliches Haus. Super, wenn man etwas in ruhiger Umgebung sucht. Das Haus ist etwas abgelegen, sodass man auf jeden Fall auf das Auto angewiesen ist (keine Läden in Fußnähe) – aber das hat uns nicht gestört.
  
  Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und war jederzeit erreichbar. Sehr gepflegter Garten und Pool! Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

• Teacro from Croatia – 24 June 2023 (10/10)

  Location is perfect if you want peace and quite. House has everything that you need.

• Adrian from Germany – 12 June 2023 (10/10)

  Absolut ruhige Lage mit Nähe zur Natur (Nationalpark). Gastgeberin außerordentlich freundlich und gastfreundlich. Der Pool zur alleinigen Nutzung ist natürlich Traumhaft.
  
  What could be improved: Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Ein Auto ist von Vorteil bzw. zwingend nötig.

• Tin from Croatia – 2 September 2022 (10/10)

  Izuzetan smještaj. Zaglušujuća tišina, bolje nego na fotografijama. Šibenik, Skradin, NP Krka, sve je blizu. Tko želi odmor, ovo je mjesto za njega.

• Jan from Belgium – 5 August 2022 (10/10)

  Rustig gelegen in een klein dorpje Goris, geen bakker of supermarkt op wandelafstand. Je moet dus zorgen dat je wat in huis hebt. Voor ons geen probleem, grote koelkast en vriezer aanwezig. Restaurant Slapovi Krke op 8km Met 4 gegeten en gedronken voor minder dan 50€. Kleine Supermakrt en bakker liggen er naast.
  Met de auto dan weer overal dichtbij. Zadar, Sibenik, Trogir, Primosten, Tisno, Vodice. Skradin en krka watervallen om de hoek, de rest minder als een uur rijden en allemaal de moeite. Mooi privé zwembad met buitendouche waar je 24/24 kan inspringen. Mooi terras aan het huis in de schaduw van de wijnranken. Hele dag prachtig zitten. Super gastvrouw Drina legt je in de watten zonder zich op te dringen. Ze heeft voor ons zelfs pizza gemaakt in de houtoven. Super vakantie met twee oudere tieners. Wij gaan nog eens terug ! Foto’s op de site zijn zoals het is.
