What this video covers
Nick and Erin, who run a sailing charter operation based in Trogir, Croatia, stay overnight at Il Ponte, a six-room boutique restaurant and hotel a three-minute walk from Trogir's UNESCO Old Town.0:11 The property sits adjacent to a large car park, which looks unpromising on the website but delivers unobstructed views of the Old Town's church towers and castle from every balcony.2:16 The middle-floor room includes a full kitchenette with hob, toaster, fridge, and strong air conditioning — a practical detail in Croatian summers.3:30 Parking is covered for guests.2:51 Dinner runs a spring/summer menu featuring beef tartare, tuna tartare, seafood gnocchi, pumpkin soup, and arancini, paired with local Bogdanuša wine from Hvar and award-winning olive oil from Slatine.10:40 A wine cellar below the restaurant seats private events.7:58 Breakfast, included with rooms and served 7–11, is made to order; a Trogir-wide power cut interrupted service on the morning of the stay.15:31 Nick notes a periodic pipe smell common in older Croatian buildings, mitigated by running water.16:17 The team recommends Il Ponte to sailing charter clients as a pre- or post-charter base close to the Old Town without the noise of being on the island itself.16:56
