In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Hotel Villa Sikaa is a small villa with only a handful of rooms, done in a restrained Mediterranean-modern style. The sea-view rooms come with a private balcony looking out over the Old Town and the Adriatic. Every room has air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed and a clean, up-to-date bathroom. There is no lift, so on the upper floors you carry your own bags up the stairs.
Food and amenities
Free breakfast is included and served on the balcony with the Old Town directly in front of you — several guests called it the most beautiful start to a day they have had. The spread covers Western options alongside Dalmatian ones, including local prosciutto and cheese made on the nearby islands. This is a small boutique rather than a resort, so there is no pool or spa, but there is free guest parking, which is genuinely hard to find in this part of Trogir.
Location and getting there
Villa Sikaa sits on Ciovo Island, directly across from Trogir's Old Town, with the Riva waterfront promenade just over a narrow strip of water. That is why the sea-view rooms look straight at the UNESCO Old Town — the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, the Kamerlengo Fortress and the yachts lined up in the harbour. It is a 5-minute walk over the bridge into the historic centre, the easiest way to reach the restaurants, museums and churches. Split Airport (SPU) is only about 5km away, a 10-minute drive.
Things to know before booking
There are only a few rooms, so in high season book one to two months ahead to be sure of getting one. There is no pool or spa on site, which matters if you were hoping to swim or book a treatment without leaving. And the building is small with no lift, so plan for stairs with your luggage.
Our take
For a couple who care more about the historic skyline framed in the window than about pools and spas, Villa Sikaa is the one. The direct Old Town view is the thing no other hotel in Trogir has, the owners run it themselves and look after guests like old friends, and at a 8.8/10 score with rates from about $120 it earns its place. The view is at its best at sunset and after dark, when the Old Town is lit.
