Luxury apartment with private salt-water pool and small garden at the end of the village. Walk 100m through the pine forest to the sea with the cleanest and clearest water. Very few tourists know this hidden beach, so locals mainly visit it. The area is quiet and peaceful, so it is perfect for a relaxing break.

We’ve made a long-standing dream come true and we bought a place by the Mediterranean Sea. Sun, swimming, runs along the coast, and excellent fresh fish and vegetables are our new ingredients for quality of life as we enter the second half of life. Fredrik is Swedish, Monika is Czech, and together we’ve moved around quite a bit, so also renovated quite a few properties. We’ve always liked the Scandinavian interior design with natural forms, materials and colors, and breaking it up with distinct pieces of antique European and exotic Eastern furniture and decorations. The place we have created in Kožino is calming, cozy and beautiful and we hope you’ll like it as much as we do. Contact us if you have any questions before and during the stay, and please give us feedback after your stay to help us improve or share your sunny memories and holiday experience.

You’ll have lots of options to enjoy both the local culinary scene and international kitchens. We have a few favorites in Kožino and Zadar you may want to try. - Restaurant Vila Park, Kozino: Great Balkan classics, pizza, and salads. This is our go-to if we don’t want to take the car as it’s only 20 min walk from the apartment up to Kozino village. The walk is on the backroads through the olive groves with a beautiful view of the green surroundings and the sea. If you’re going there for dinner, time your walk to catch the sunset. It’s busy during the season, so consider reserving a table. Plenty of parking spaces. - Mamma Mia, Zadar: One of our favorites for Italian and Croatian food. Their pasta is excellent (pst.. the truffle pasta..). 4,5/5 rating from 1350 reviews on Tripadvisor. Located in Borik on the north side of Zadar, 15 min by car from our apartment, and they have parking just outside. - Restaurant Pineta, Kozino: Similar culinary experience as Mamma Mia, but much closer, on the main road north of the Kozino. Considered the best restaurant in Kozino with 4,5/5 rating on Tripadvisor. They have Mediterranean dishes, and is situated in beautiful and peaceful surroundings of pine forest. - Butler Gourmet & Cocktail Garden, Zadar: Great place for a fancier dining experience and mingling with the in-crowd. The Top#1 restaurant in Zadar on Tripadvisor, and I understand why. Great food, great cocktails, great service, great atmosphere, and good location, so (too) easy to continue to the nice bars in the narrow streets of old town afterward. - La Famiglia, Zadar: This is our favorite breakfast and brunch place in Zadar. Hidden in the small streets between the main shopping street and the market. Also 4,5/5 rating from 1100 reviews on Tripadvisor. Proud of their excellent burgers, but they have plenty of options if that’s not your thing, including a great breakfast menu before 11:30, and a vegan selection of dishes.
