Ðakovo at a glance
Diaco Boutique Hotel
Đakovo's first four-star hotel, with an indoor pool a short walk from the cathedral
Why guests love itDiaco is a town base for families rather than a resort. Its indoor pool, sauna and hot tub give everyone something to do after a day out, whatever the weather, and the family rooms are air-conditioned. The big draw for children is next door in spirit: the State Stud Farm Đakovo keeps its Lipizzaner horses partly in the town stables and partly at Ivandvor, and summer brings riding performances. The cathedral is close enough for a short walk with small children. What it lacks: the hotel advertises no garden or outdoor play area, and with large wedding and congress halls in the building, some weekends will be busy. I would pick it for two or three nights exploring Slavonia.
