Our GPS directed us in circles, over and over around the main part of town and each “right” would take us to a cobblestone street with no pedestrian access. We finally parked the car and wheeled our suitcases through Stari Trg, one of the main streets and the street that led to our hotel.

Breakfast was included, and one of the best things about the hotel was the rooftop (albeit small) pool, which gave us a chance to unwind.
