Heritage Hotel Armerun, Croatia

• Seaside sojourn: Croatia has the summer holiday down to a fine art: it’s the ideal mix of beach glam peppered with local history that makes it so alluring. Šibenik is no different, and at Heritage Hotel Amerun, a charming boutique built on the remains of a 17th-century monastery, you can embrace that same said glam-and-history all from a comfortable base full of character and refinement.

• Croatian cuisine and beyond: Open all year round, Bronzin restaurant specialises in Balkan cuisine, preparing local ingredients on a traditional open-fire for plenty of smokey flavour. Dalmatian dishes are also served, cooked "under the bell" or spit-roasted, or made in a Kopa oven for an authentic edge. Pair this with award-winning Hvar Hills house wine from one of the oldest vineyards in Europe, and meal times here will certainly be a highlight.

• Making memories: The hotel’s name, Armerun, is named after an antique wooden dresser where families kept their valuables and memories. The hotel has made this their philosophy, and now you can make new memories in Šibinek before returning to your carefully appointed guest rooms. Traditional interiors celebrate the hotel’s historic roots, while you can enjoy views of either the Old Town or the sea. Exposed stone walls and old-fashioned sconces create a homely atmosphere, while a Smart TV and Starbucks coffee pod machine bring it up to date with comfortable amenities.
