"We spent 2 nights at this lovely property 15 minutes outside of Biograd. We were traveling around Croatia for 2 weeks and we were looking for a relaxing country retreat to catch up on sleep and recharge. The room (bedroom, sitting area, kitchen, bath) was rustic and charming yet very comfortable. We absolutely loved all the spaces outside the room! We had a charming little nook outside our door where we enjoyed our morning coffee. We spent both afternoons enjoying the pristine pool area...
