This is an absolutely stunning property. The best part about this place is the staff who made us feel comfortable and ensure we had a great stay. This is a perfect example of efficient and courteous service without being overbearing. The room was very comfortable and had great views. We ate multiple meals at the restaurant and we're very pleased with it. They are very accommodative of dietary preferences such as vegetarians, vegans, etc. The spa is great as well. We wish we had a longer stay. Must visit if you are in the area.

Very nice house, friendly and helpful staff. Being able to go to the spa with kids is great during winter. However, kitchenware was incomplete. Missing bowls abd chopping boards (just one plastic old one) and the pans were all scrated (scratched pans are toxic). Bikes are available for guests but they are old and rusty. They should be fixed and maintained.

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.
