Great location!
The apartment is very comfortable and clean, with spacious terrace for relaxing and dining, with hammock, deck chairs and dining table and views to the sea. The beds were very comfortable and bathroom nicely fitted and we stayed cool at night with the air-conditioning.
We were a family of four and stayed on the first floor apartment with double room and room with two single beds for our grown-up children, we had plenty of space (second WC useful), though the kitchen area is small and a bit cramped to prepare a meal for four, but we only did this twice in the week we were there, as there was a great choice of restaurants in the town. We had some great seafood and Croatian specialities (pasticada, buzara etc).
The apartment is in a quiet residential area, a short distance from the old town, and easy to walk to the beaches and town, also a local supermarket a couple of minutes' walk away.
It was lovely to sit out on the terrace in the early mornings and evenings, watching the swallows and martins swooping around.
The hosts' son, Stefan, was there when we stayed, who spoke very good English and he was very kind and helpful. He also arranged a wonderful fishing trip for us, a day at sea catching fish, prawns, octopus, squid etc, which we could help sort and which was then cooked for us on board, fantastic!! You could eat the prawns shell and all, so fresh! There was time for swimming and sunbathing on deck, and drink provided, a great day! The tour was run by old friends of the family. Primosten is a picturesque town, busy with Croatian families, but not over-crowded, and well located, as it is within easy reach of Trogir (lovely but heaving), Sibenik (very nice), Krka National Park (also v.busy but still beautiful, go early), and we also drove to Zadar (which we really liked, vibrant. Great restaurant called Pet Bunara). The local beaches have small pebbles and most people, including us with feeble feet, wore swimming shoes. The sea is wonderful for swimming, turquoise blue and clear.
We really enjoyed our week there.
