Ileana was very welcoming, with maps of Zadar, restaurant recommendations and her home made cherry brandy.

The apartment was spacious, very clean and had stunning viewe of the Adriatic. Breakfast on the balcony was a particular pleasure.

Only slight downside is its a couple of miles to the old town but this seems standard for virtually all accomodation in Zadar. Plus there is plenty of parking in the town, frequent buses for the short journey or its a cheap taxi (although worth booking on a sat as in short supply).

Would happily visit again.

All comments are true. Ileana is the most welcoming hostess I have ever met. She walks with you to the beach, to the restaurant , to the bus stop. She rescued two Irish people who could not find their accommodation; brought them to her apartment to use the internet the walked them to their apartment. A lovely lady. We had a studio. Perfect for two with a lovely view and a fine balcony. Spotless. We highly recommend this apartment.
Remember to bring water shoes, or crocs as most beach areas are stony. hard on the feet but once in the water is warm and clear.

Having read previous reviews we had high expectations of Apartmani Petra and we were not disappointed. Ileana is a treasure and exactly the right sort of person to be your hostess.She made everyone so welcome, was always there to answer queries, gave us lots of helpful advice and lots of limoncella. She is such a warm person and she helped to make the holiday.
Apartment 4 had a fantastic view of the Adriatic and we found it equipped with all that we needed. The bedlinen and towels were spotless and there was ample storage space. It was light and airy and the air conditioning was a great bonus as it was very hot at the end of June.
Yes it is about a 15 min walk to the bus stop but the service was good and only cost 13 kuna for a return trip. We used local transport to explore the area and this worked out well. The old town of Zadar was a very pleasant and interesting place. You must buy the ice cream. It is fantastic.
We will certainly return to stay here and renew our friendship with Ieana. One of the best holidays we have had.

I stayed in aparment 1 (2+2) and I fully recommend this appartment, Ileana the mos frendly person I found in Croacia. When we arrived she had prepared broschures for us about the city, things to do in Zadar and explained us everything that we needed, bus lines, restaurants, supermarket, bus ticktets, taxi, etc.
The aparment is very clean, in the house there is a computer with internet for the guests (free of charge), the apartment has one air conditioner in the living room. The only thing is that one of the room has a sofa not a bed.
The place is really calm but a bit far from the old town, may be 30 minutes walking. We used bus, the ticket for two persons is 13 kunas. Also for going to the beach can take you 10 minutes walking. But for the price I really recommed this pleace.
