What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 16 rooms are spread over two restored historic buildings and range from contemporary grey, minimalist spaces ... to the saturated shades of blue and mustard in the early 20th century building.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Campo Castello occupies the quiet northern tip of the Old Town, a short walk from Zadar's waterfront Sea Organ.
The rooms
Main house rooms are styled in minimalist greys. Across the park, the annex spaces use saturated blue and mustard tones.
Corte Restaurant & Lounge Bar
Crystal chandeliers hang inside the steel-framed glass orangery. Outside, candlelit tables fill an ivy-covered stone courtyard.
How it began
Founders Irina Bakija and Vjekoslav Bobić named the hotel after the seaside inn in Alessandro Baricco's novel Ocean Sea.
