A quiet seaside base on the east side of Split

The old town
For a wider choice of restaurants, go to Diocletian's Palace, about 15 minutes by car or by bus.
A Roman palace, a palm-lined waterfront and the islands of Dalmatia
Split is Croatia's second city and the main gateway to the Dalmatian coast. Its old town grew inside a Roman emperor's palace on the seafront, with the Marjan forest hill behind it and ferries to the islands next door. Distances are in a straight line from the hotel.
Diocletian's Palace · {km:palacio}
A UNESCO World Heritage Site built as a Roman emperor's retirement residence. It is not a museum behind a fence: its streets, shops, cafés and homes are part of the living old town, and you can walk in through its old gates.
The Peristyle · {km:peristilo}
The palace's central courtyard, framed by Roman columns and arches, with the cathedral and its bell tower on one side. Cafés set out chairs on the steps, and the square is lively in the evening.
The Riva promenade · {km:riva}
The palm-lined waterfront along the palace's southern wall, with cafés, terraces and boats. It's the city's favorite place for a stroll and a coffee or an evening drink.
Marjan hill · {km:marjan}
A forested hill on the western edge of the city, with walking paths, small chapels, viewpoints over the old town and the islands, and beaches at its foot. It's the local escape from the heat.
Trogir · {km:trogir}
A small, walled old town on an island west of Split, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with narrow lanes, a cathedral and a waterfront lined with palms. Easy to visit on a half-day trip by bus, car or boat.
Krka National Park · {km:krka}
A river park with a series of waterfalls, wooden walkways and boat rides. Skradinski Buk is the best known. It's a full-day trip from Split; rules on swimming and access are set by the park, so check them before you go.

Mild (Apr–May, Oct) Hot and dry summer (Jun–Sep) Cool and wet (Nov–Mar) · mm
- ☀️ June to September is the Mediterranean summer: hot, sunny, almost no rain and the best time for swimming and island trips. July and August are the busiest and hottest months; book early.
- 🌸 April, May and October are mild and pleasant for walking the old town and Marjan. In May and October the sea is cooler, but there are fewer people; some seasonal boats and restaurants may run reduced schedules.
- 🌧️ November is usually the rainiest month. From November to March it's cool and wet, with short sunny spells; it's a quiet time and a good one for the old town and museums.
- 💨 Two winds shape the weather: the bora (a cold, gusty wind from the north, mostly in winter) and the jugo (a humid wind from the south that brings rain). Strong wind can delay or cancel ferries.
- ⛴️ Ferry and catamaran schedules to the islands are fullest in summer and reduced in winter; check them before planning a day trip.
- 🧴 In summer the sun is strong and the old town's stone streets hold the heat: carry water, wear sunscreen and a hat, and sightsee early or late in the day.
How to get here
Split Airport (SPU)
Split's airport, named after St. Jerome, is in Kaštela, west of the city ({km:aeropuerto_spu} in a straight line from the hotel; Booking.com gives about 20 km by road). It receives many European routes, especially in summer, and some flights from other regions with connections. The property offers a paid airport transfer; taxis, the airport shuttle bus and rental cars are other options.
By ferry
Split's port ({km:puerto_split} from the hotel) is the main hub for ferries and catamarans to islands such as Brač, Hvar, Vis and Šolta, and has seasonal sailings to Italy. Check timetables and book vehicle space early in summer.
By bus and train
The long-distance bus station ({km:estacion_buses}) and the railway station ({km:estacion_tren}) are next to the port, about 3.5 km from the guesthouse. Buses connect Split with Zagreb, Zadar, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, Makarska and many other towns; the bus to Dubrovnik crosses a short stretch of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so carry your passport or ID card.
By car
The A1 motorway links Zagreb and Dalmatia with Split, and there are tolls. The guesthouse has free private parking, which is a big advantage: the old town itself is pedestrian-only and parking there is very limited.
Entry and money
Croatia is part of the Schengen area and uses the euro. Entry requirements depend on your nationality and can change: check them with official sources before you travel. Cards are widely accepted and there are ATMs in the city.
Getting around
The neighborhood is quiet and residential. A city bus stops nearby (one guest suggests bus number 15 for the center), and taxis and ride-hailing apps are an easy alternative. You can also walk to the old town along the new seaside promenade, which takes about 40 minutes.
