Lux Apartment Erato Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Lux Apartment Erato on Trtarska ulica, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. This apartment sits right in the heart of Šibenik’s old town, and the moment you step inside, you realize the 9.8 rating isn’t just a fluke. The space feels fresh and thoughtfully designed — nothing fancy, but everything works exactly as it should.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s the thing about staying in Šibenik’s top-rated area — you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from everything that matters. I mean, you can roll out of bed and be at the Cathedral of St. James before your morning coffee kicks in. The narrow stone streets wind right past your door, and honestly, it feels like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. What really sold me though was the free private parking right on site — if you’ve ever tried to park in these old Croatian towns, you’ll understand why that’s basically gold.
The Space Itself
The room layout is smart without being showy. There’s a proper kitchen that’s actually functional — not one of those tiny hotel kitchenettes where you can barely make toast. I ended up cooking a few meals here using ingredients from the local market, and it felt natural, like staying at a friend’s place. The bed is comfortable enough that I slept through the church bells (well, most of them), and the bathroom has good water pressure, which honestly matters more than fancy marble.
Why Couples Get It
I can see why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. It’s intimate without being cramped, and there’s something about having your own little Croatian hideaway that beats a standard hotel restaurant breakfast any day. You can grab fresh bread and local cheese, make coffee in your own space, then wander out to explore whenever you feel like it. The evening light filtering through the old town streets and into the windows — well, it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to extend your stay.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t about thread counts or marble bathrooms — it’s about location, value, and that rare feeling of actually living somewhere for a few days. The 9.5 location score makes perfect sense when you’re walking to dinner through medieval streets instead of taking taxis everywhere. Plus, the owners clearly care about the details that matter to real travelers — reliable wifi, good lighting, and a space that feels like home rather than a sterile hotel box. For the price point, you’re getting way more character and convenience than you’d find in most chain hotels.
Sibenik’s hotels wrap guests in Renaissance courtyards, olive wood aromas, and concierge-led Krka excursions.

Reviews of Lux Apartment Erato
Susanne from Austria – 25 March 2025 (10/10)
Sehr freundliche Vermieter, das Apartment ist schön und gemütlich eingerichtet, das Bett ist bequem und die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Es gab für uns Kaffekapsel und einige Süßigkeiten, und auch genügend Geschirrspültabs waren vorhanden. Die Aussicht auf die Bucht ist ein Hammer. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Gabriela from Slovakia – 12 March 2025 (10/10)
Krásny výhľad, možnosť parkovania, veľmi pohodlná posteľ a všetko potrebné na mieste. Výborné vybavenie kuchyne, umývačka riadu, dostatok úložných priestorov. Naviac pri príchode k dispozícii veci, ktoré ocení každý cestovateľ – zopár snackov, voda, kávovar s dostatkom kapsúl, základné koreniny, olej , soľ – jednoducho nemusíte okamžite po príchode utekať do obchodu a zháňať základné vybavenie (čo nebýva vždy zvykom – oceňujeme). Apartmán je v pešej vzdialenosti od centra aj mestskej páže Banj.
Daniela from Germany – 10 August 2024 (10/10)
Das Appartement ist sehr schön und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht.
Der Blick vom Balkon auf das Meer ist einfach traumhaft. 😍
Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und immer ansprechbar.
Ca. 250 m vom Appartement entfernt ist ein kleiner Supermarkt.
Ebenfalls kommt man fußläufig in die Altstadt, sowie an den Stadtstrand.
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. 😊
What could be improved: Die Straße die unter dem Appartement entlang führt ist ziemlich stark befahren.Buďárková from Czech Republic – 1 August 2024 (9/10)
Vše bylo úplně nové a čisté. Naprosto úžasný výhled na moře.
What could be improved: V ložnici chyběla klimatizace a na to, že to všechno bylo úplně nové,tak postel v ložnici hrozně vrzala při vstávání z postele, otočení se. Ale i přesto se nám tam líbilo a bylo všechno perfektní.
