We had a glorious
holiday! It was our first trip to
We loved Trogir --- the weather, the sea, the local market and much more. Its a great location for seeing the coast and all the
historic sights along the coast.
We loved that the tower is right in the middle of all the restaurants and so
close to the pleasure boat harbour but that it was
quiet at night. Everything provided was of good quality, clean and well
maintained. The owner was always helpful and his representative at the tower
delightful. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to be in the
centre of a beautiful, historic and charming village with great weather.

We really enjoyed
our week in Trogir. The Tower is very well equipped and brilliantly located for
eating out and strolling around the old cobbled streets.
We flew to Zadar and hired a car. The journey to
Trogir took a little over an hour and was very straightforward. We managed to
park the car for free all week on the little side streets around the
supermarket just over the bridge to the mainland.
There is plenty to do in the area, our friends went white water rafting and canyoning arranged through Portal on the waterfront, whilst
we preferred to search out quiet beaches. We found some great deserted beaches
with views across to
We also visited
Trogir is lively in the evening with lots of visiting yachts, great restaurants
and entertainment in the main square. And the ice cream is fantastic.
I would definitely recommend the Tower to friends and family. The property is
suitable for anyone happy getting up and down several flights of stairs.

The stairs in the house itself are not only numerous but steep! The stairs are
painted wood (uncarpeted) so they are quite slippery if you're wearing socks -
definitely not a place for the infirm. While the tower has 5 storeys, the surrounding houses are of a similar height so
don't expect birds-eye views in all directions. That said,
you can see the bell-tower of the Cathedral from the top floor, and vice-versa.
We did most of our living on the top floor because that's the only one with
views and with the windows thrown open and a breeze coming through it's a
lovely place to be.
Apart from the location, a plus point is that the kitchen is very well equipped
(by rental standards). A minus is that the ground-floor bedroom (the smaller of
the 2) is really quite poky and has little natural light.
I don't think a car is necessary at this property (and '
In summary, I'd recommend the tower mainly for its central location and its top
floor which is great for chilling out. The main drawback is that it has no
outdoor space but perhaps in a city centre that's a bit much to expect!

We were a party of
3 generations (myself, daughter and 2 grandchildren, 7 and 11) and found the
Tower spacious and well laid out. The different floors
actually provide good sound proofing - ideal if you feel the need for your own
peace and quiet from time to time.
The Tower is perfectly located in the heart of everything (but no traffic and
no outside noise so remarkably quiet). It's clean and well equipped with lots
of extras, books, DVD's, plenty of towels and linen - even a picnic rucksack,
first aid kit and umbrella, which luckily wasn't needed!
Temperatures around 30 celsius each day but you get a
nice breeze on the beaches in the afternoon. Beaches are clean and the biggest
bonus for us was NO flies or insect bites - something we're usually plagued with
in hot places.
The booking process was easy and you get a very useful set of instructions from
the owner before departure with detailed info on directions, facilities,
telephone contact numbers etc. We took advantage of the airport transfer and
were greeted by a very friendly host both on arrival and departure, which made
the journey effortless.
Trogir is a great base with something for everyone. Choice of beaches (via
regular 1/2 hour boat ferry, local bus every 20 minutes or walking); a
magnificent waterfront fringed by numerous restaurants where you can sit for
hours watching the boating activity and luxury yachts that come and go and a
maze of old cobbled streets full of historical buildings (well worth doing the
guided tour when you first arrive as it explains it all and gives you discounts
in certain restaurants).
At night Trogir comes alive with free entertainment on the waterfront and in
the main square - everything from acrobats, cooking demo's,
local singing, street dancing and an excellent portrait artist, who draws large
crowds (excuse the pun!).
We didn't have a car but found it very easy to travel on the bus - the bus
station is nearby and offers a good reliable service to lots of destinations,
including
Would thoroughly recommend a visit to the National Park and Krka waterfalls -
this was the highlight of our trip. We booked a guided tour through Portal
travel agency and our guide was superb - I don't think we would have discovered
half as much without his assistance.
Excellent 2 weeks - would definitely recommend it to friends/family.

Overall we had a
very good experience in the Tower with its convenient location among the
winding streets and multiple choice of bars and restaurants and buzzing Riva -
essential promenading in the evening. The two bathrooms are well-equipped and
clean, the A/C in the top room a God-send. The stairs are no secret, you know
what you are getting beforehand so don't moan - keeps you fit after all those
ice-creams! Things to watch out for: the early morning bell-ringing from the
nearby churche/s and some late-night revelling (noise) which can disturb the
light sleepers amongst us.

Stayed in the
tower for 7 days and overall it was a very pleasant stay. Our group was made up
of two couples and the layout of the tower was perfect for the four of us.
Togir is a lovely little town with many restaurants
and bars to choose from. We went in May and the weather and amount of tourists
(minimal) was spot on.
The tower itself was very clean and there was everything we needed for an
enjoyable stay (as long as you don't mind stairs). We spent most of our time in
the kitchen but the living room (top floor) is a very nice area for relaxing
and getting away from it all. The tower is in the middle of the town close to
the supermarket and entertainment. I note though, don't bother searching for
beaches as there isn't any, find a nice place in the park or table in the sun
and while away your time there.
Had a great time and would stay in the tower again.

From our arrival at the airport everything was so easy we took a taxi to Trogir
then got the key for the tower, I have to say our expectations were high but we
were most certainly not disappointed the tower had it all it was well furnished
and had all those little extra things. The location was perfect the food in the
square entertainment all fantastic i could go on! We
visited some local attractions and used the water taxi daily a really superb
holiday!
Many thanks

It was our first
holiday with our 4 month-old daughter, so we were
nervous, but it really couldn't have gone better! There was a travel
cot provided and air con to keep the temperature just right. The
location is perfect in the centre of town, near plenty restaurants and
shops, but very quiet, so we could easily get back home if the baby
needed to. The tower is immaculately kept and has everything you need
- the pick up from the airport was very convenient as well. For a
small baby, who can't move around, the tower is fine, although it
wouldn't be suitable for toddlers as there are a lot of flights of
stairs! I'd recommend this place to any of my friends (apart from any
with toddlers!)

My family of 2
adults and 2 children (12 and 15) had a lovely week here in May 2008. Weather
was variable between thunderstorms and warm and sunny. The tower itself was
very nicely furnished, comfortable and clean and got our legs in shape with its
five floors! Trogir is very pretty and the market there is one of the best I
have seen with piles of gorgeous fresh, colourful
fruit and veg.
We hired a car from the airport over the internet and are glad we did (although
you can't park on the island of Trogir - need to find a spot on the mainland
5-10 mins walk) as we were able to visit lots of
places much more cheaply than if we had gone on organised
trips. Having said that it is not necessary to hire a car as there is plenty to
do - it depends what you choose.Highlights for us
included Krka National Park, Split, rafting on the Cetina
river near Omis and sea Kayaking from Trogir.
I would definately recommend the Tower and central

Just
got back from a fantastic stay at the Venetian tower.
The description of the property was spot on and even better than expected.
It was very clean and tidy and tastefully decorated and furnished.
Nice appreciated extras like beach towels were a nice touch.
We would recommend this propety and the location was
great for being in the centre but still having a peaceful nights sleep.
The square is excellent for nightly entertainment and if you
want to go to the beach then try the boat taxis which run every half
hour from the harbour.
Good customer service was provided and we were picked up and dropped off on
time from the airport as arranged.

Vi, en familie 2 voksne og 2 gutter på 15 og 11 år tilbrakte
9 dager i "
The Tower" i Trogir i Juli 2009.
Huset er i meget bra stand, veldig koselig og så sentralt som det
er mulig
å få til.
Det er bare få minutter å
gå til alle
aktiviteter i Trogir.
Restaurantene er av bra standard, maten er god og
billig samt hyggelig
betjening.
Det er meget
enkelt å komme seg ut
til noen virkelig gode bade strender
med båt som går fra
Trogir havn hver hele og halve time. Vannet er klart
og varmt.
Vi hadde en fantastisk fin ferie og vil reise
tilbake ved en senere
anledning.
