Stayed at the wing building. Calm, noiseless. Comfy beds with an extra bed for our girl. Clean and well kept. The castle is very interesting with several genres from 16th to 19th century. Breakfast was very good with stunning views from the second storey. The restaurant was competent, a fixed 3 course menu that was well matched with the recommended wines. Lots of sightseeing to be had in the surrounding countryside. A very enjoyable stay, well recommended.

Hotel itself is nice and pretty. But our experience was not that good. We booked a suit on hotel’s own website but only got a double room. Same amount was changed when we checked out and also a charge for extra bed.

I would gladly give this 6 stars, best hotel experience ever. Food was outstanding, service with that perfect balance of presence and privacy, and the atmosphere... Just wow! It felt like (and probably was) like living in an museum, a total and utterly beautiful stay! Thanks to the staff for making our days there so memorable!

Cannot say enough about how absolutely lovely this place is! Gorgeous rooms, fantastic hosts, delicious food. Wish we'd been able to stay longer, but next time we're in the neighborhood will definitely be back!

Dubbelt så många gäster än va de lovat vid bokning. Inte så bra planering av sällskapen i de olika rummen. Dålig uppmärksamhet vid servering av dricka.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
