Malinska Green Apartments

Malinska Green Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"Brilliant apartments just close to the sea, very well equipped, modern and spotlessly clean. We were upgraded to a larger top floor one which was greatly appreciated. Free parking too which helps. Beach bar nearby, a short walk to the centre of Malinska, lovely coves, beaches and walks nearby, all in all superb. Wish we had stayed longer. Don't miss the abandoned Haludovo Palace hotel nearby too, urban decay exploring at it's finest....."
