Hotels prime location at the Zagreb's main city square (Trg Ban J. Jelacic) makes it your perfect choice if wishing to be in the very heart of the City.

The old town is a treasure trove of archaeological treasures and monuments to the ancient, medieval and Renaissance periods. Only 3 hours sailing from Zadar you can reach Kornati islands, an amazing archipelago consisting of altogether 89 islands, islets and reefs within approximately 238 kilometers of coastline. You will be accommodated in a four star hotel Bastion, located in the historic core, built on the remains of the medieval fortress „Kaštel“ from the 13th century, only few steps away from many cultural monuments of the town, including the renowned „Sea Organ“ and „Greeting to the Sun“.

Split, this eternally young city with around 200 thousand inhabitants has lived its urban rythm for 1700 years with Diocletian's palace at its heart, which is also the historical center of the city and UNESCO world heritage site. The Cathedral of sv. Dujam (St. Domnios), the patron saint of Split, is located in the mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian, and its sumptuous interior is a gathering place for many of the faithful and tourists. Many valuable monuments of culture are located outside the walls of Diocletian's Palace (Rennaisance Prokurative Square, palaces, churches, museums...). During your stay in Split, you will have the opportunity of visiting the Croatian sunniest island Hvar.

After centuries of unforgettable and amazing history, Hvar is today the main tourist center of the island and one of the most loved tourist resorts on the Dalmatian Riviera, but you will have the chance of exploring the small hidden villages of the island where live seems to have stopped decades ago, but still people decided to stay living there and enjoy the simple things in life. Judita Palace is a small 4* boutique hotel with 8 luxury rooms.

Croatia, Slovenia Vacation Review: Plitvice Lakes, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Boat Ride, 10 Days

The trip was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist had really good advice and was able to “read” us as travelers to help plan all of our adventures. The hotels were top-notch, and every person we encountered that she put in place took wonderful care of us.

She was in constant contact with us and even when the airline canceled and rescheduled my flights home (twice) due to a strike by crew members, the travel specialist stayed with me through my entire trip home, which was several different legs to get me to San Francisco. I highly recommend this travel company.

Croatia Tour Review: Hvar, 9 Days

My trip, curated by Zicasso, was seamless. The travel specialist really listened to my wish list of places to see and things to do. The trip itinerary couldn't have been organized any better. It was so relaxing to have everything taken care of, including transportation. She suggested other options that may have been available. Free time to explore or relax was just the right amount for me. She was always available to assist if needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.
