Perfectly chilled week from late night check-in to late check out, I can't believe this place is only rated at 3*. Khristina and the team made us feel so welcome all week, and were so helpful with recommendations of things to do and see, as well as places nearby to eat. As we went in October a lot of the bars & restaurants in the local town were closed as was the hotels beach bar and café, but it didn't bother us at all. The room was clean and comfortable, and had all the facilities we needed for our stay with an awesome view of the ocean, and amazing sunsets. The hotel was a perfect base to explore the local area and is a 5-10 minute walk to the town centre of Petracane with some nice cafes, restaurants, and a 20 minute drive to the city centre of Zadar, which has a much wider tourist attraction and more shops and places to eat.
The hotel felt such a relaxing place either in the beautiful gardens on a sunlounger or in a hammock of lazing on the waterfront or in the sea. It looks like the hotel had bikes & kayaks to rent/use though we didn't bother with either this time..maybe next time as we will be returning to the Villa Nela for sure!
