villa in Split old town, near Diocletian palace and promenade, villa Veli Varos

Villa Veli Varos is situated in the namesake neighborhood, one of the oldest and the most picturesque parts of Split, the city founded 17 centuries ago by the Roman Emperor Diocletian. We are only 200 meters from the Diocletian's Palace and Split's old town, both listed on the UNESCO's World Heritage list. In Plinarska Street, just behind the Croatian National Theatre, at the foot of Marjan hill and forest park, and short walk from the main seaside promenade Riva you will find our house. It's more than a century old, but just renovated. In the house's closest vicinity you can experience some of local gastronomy gems. If you like ice cream, stand in line in front of the most popular popular in town, Luka's Cakes & Ice Cream.

Perfect Split location

This is a charming property that comfortably accommodated a family of five adults. Located in the center of Old town, the sights, restaurants and arts were just minutes away. In fact, one of the best meals we had in Croatia was at the restaurant next door. Marina was a responsive host and communication was easy. We only stayed two nights, but hope to return and would stay here again.

Split Getaway

We traveled with our adult children to Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb. This was our favorite apartment we stayed in during this trip. The home was clean, great location, and had everything we needed for a great stay. Martina was a gracious and responsive host. The neighborhood is quiet, very close to the promenade, and walkable to great restaurants, shops, and excursions we took. One item to note, there are 4 levels in the house with a staircase between them. We loved it, but it could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. I highly recommend this property and we would stay here again if we come back to the beautiful town of Split.

Great location!

This is a great apartment, right inside the Split city walls. We could walk everywhere in the old town. Warning: car parking is a ways away if you are driving, and no cars are allowed in the old town. Lots of steps, steep steps, in this apartment. And no soap for hand washing. Left-behind soap in the showers. Otherwise, a great place.

Cozy place in the old town

Cozy, charming stone house on the border of the beautiful old town, yet close to everything. Possibility of leaving your luggage if you arrive before check-in time. Grocery store, ATMs, pharmacy are 20 meters away. Continue east on Plinarska/Teutina street and you will find Teatrino Restaurant (40 meters away from the house) great place to eat. Thank you Marina :)

Great place to stay in Split

This property is perfectly located. An ancient stone house, which has been expertly brought into the 21st Century, with plenty of electrical outlets everywhere, and recessed lighting, somehow expertly inserted into the stone walls, as well as a great kitchen. The owner, Marina, was very nice, and the overall experience was perfect. I will stay at that house, again, when I'm next in Split.

Perfect location - 5 minute walk to the city center.

Great old stone house. Clean. Super convenient. Modern furnishings. Perfect size for the 6 of us. Plenty of bathroom space. Marina was charming and helpful. Might not be a good choice for young children or older folks because of the fairly steep stone stairs . Would absolutely recommend to friends. Lovely experience all around.

Great location!

We rented all levels of this apartment for 5 women traveling together. Great set up for us! The recent remodel was thoughtful done with lots of nice lighting touches, two typically cozy Euro bathrooms and one LARGE bathroom. We had a van for day trips and the off street parking was just down the street. It's a busy lot but we always found a spot. You are just within the pedestrian zone so not far to bring luggage yet an easy walk into the Riva and the rest of old town. Highlights for us were an historic walking tour (worth it!), walk up to the high point in Marjan park ( not far and a great view). Two great meals at Fig and Ciri Biri Bella/ Cucina Mare which are right next door to the apt. Probably the best meal we had in our entire trip! Marina was very responsive and helped with information and ready replies to any questions we had. It was a pleasure to stay there and we highly recommend.

Great stay

The property in the centre of Split was close to everything and very efficient for a short stay. Especially for a larger group of people. There were 9 of us, kids included. But the best is the host Marina. She is doing everything to satisfy the clients needs. All of her recommended restaurants were very good and she was quick to answer and easy to communicate. Highly recommend.
