The Kaštel restaurant's menu draws on ingredients that retrace the history and culture of Zadar and its surrounding region. From the cheese to the olive oil and wine, all the produce here stems from age-old tradition, imbued with pure, simple flavor you won't forget in a hurry. We invite you to enjoy a unique, gourmet experience that takes you deep into the heart of forgotten family recipes from the Dalmatia region.

Spa Castello Wellness Center

The tiny town of Zadar, sheltered behind its city walls, at the edge of the Adriatic, exercises its many charms: tiny cobbled roads, ancient ruins and treasures from the Renaissance await the visitor. Hotel Bastion was built in this historic centre, at the tip of the peninsula, on the remains of a former 13th century Venetian mediaeval fortress. The town’s main monuments are very close by, including the sea organs. This charming hotel offers elegant rooms, a cosy bar, a spa which has retained some of the original fortress walls, and a restaurant with delicious Mediterranean cuisine that can also be served on the terrace, in the shade of large parasols.
