Had a very comfortable 2 night stay at the Chateau. Very large, clean rooms with tea making facilities. The Chateau is very beautiful and in a good location with spacious parking. We had dinner for the 1st night of our stay and it was an excellent 5 course tasting menu, all dishes were delicious. Breakfast each morning was a mix of croissants, pain au chocolat, cereals and breads. Hosts were very welcoming, would visit again.

A very nice place to stay. Francis and his son are very welcoming and made our stay very pleasant indeed. It's right in the countryside only a few houses around it so very quiet. You need to follow the hotel directions as my Garmin satnav got up really lost and as it's in the countryside the cell reception is not that great so loading the hotel directions took some time.

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.
