Located to the south of Kvarner Bay, the romantic and picturesque resort town of Senj is a lesser-known but idyllic holiday destination in Croatia. A pretty cluster of buildings spreading out from the medieval core of the town and fronted by beaches, Senj is overlooked by the imposing Nehaj Fortress and is both steeped in history and incredible natural surroundings. The oldest town in the upper Adriatic, the settlement at Senj dates back an astounding 3,000 years and though little but archaeological finds remains of this time, many other eras since then are represented as one walks through the historic centre. With lots of little winding streets, charming squares, and architectural gems all around, there are all sorts of delights to uncover as you wander around Senj including galleries and museums, cafes and ice-cream parlours and restaurants serving delicious meals and treats, independent boutiques and shops, the elegant harbour with its delightful array of houses in pastel shades, and, of course, the numerous beaches and coves just waiting to be explored in the surrounding area. It is, therefore, a brilliant spot for a relaxing holiday. And, if you’re looking for a perfect holiday rental in Senj, then our listing, Villa Gustav, is a brilliant choice!
