Apartment 2 in 500 years old house
I arrived a little early, but I was glad to be able to leave my luggage first.It was also nice to have an elevator.The center was within walking distance, and I was able to walk everywhere.I had an umbrella, so I used it in the rain during my stay.

Apartment AKS, Split - CENTER with private garden
This is one of my favorite places I have stayed! It is an adorable apartment within walking distance of Diocletian’s Palace. Our host had fabulous local recommendations and was incredibly helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Split,Apartment 55,courtyard in the center of town
Dijana’s place was an oasis within walking distance to anything you could ever want in old town split! We loved our time both in the town and on her adorable patio.

Split Old Town - House
Good location, right in the old town but surprisingly quiet. The house was compact but clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a short stay. Matea's dad (sorry - I forget his name!) was very friendly and helpful. There isn't a garden, but we were happy enough eating lunch on the steps in the nice weather.

Town house "Viva"
Just splendid apartment right over the Riva! Wonderful view of the port. Bruna went the extra mile to make us st home! Delightful hostess!!

Amazing 2 BD in center with parking
The location was easily walkable to the ferry port for our boat to Hvar and then our all day boat tour. Located close to downtown area where shopping and restaurants are plenty. Easy to find and safe parking spot included down the street from apartment. Perfect spot for our time in Split, Croatia.

Studio Palma1 , 30 meters from the sea.
We had the great pleasure of spending a week at Dragana’s apartment, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking not only for a comfortable stay but also for true hospitality. Dragana was incredibly kind and helpful – she took care of every detail in the apartment (cleanliness, equipment, a cozy atmosphere), drove us around the city, showed us interesting places, and always made sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was very clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything necessary – we truly felt at home. It was a wonderful experience, and we’re very grateful for such a warm welcome. We’ll definitely come back at the first opportunity! Thank you again for everything, Dragana ❤️

Mediteran dream studio with terasse N’5
The apartment was beautiful and clean, in a great location for getting around the old town (5 minute walk in). the highlight was the roof terrace with 360 views of the city. I would definitely stay again. I would highly recommend

Atelier - Bright Home in the Heart of Split
Great location! Lots of space. Super close parking spaces can be a little difficult to find and the washer/dryer combo is a long cycle compared to American machines. However, glad to be able to wash clothes over our 5 night stay. Can’t say enough about the fabulous location. Easily walk to Diocletian’s Palace and all the shops and restaurants within the walls as well as the waterfront. Easy drive to Trogir or day trips to Hvar or blue lagoon. Apartment was clean and well-kept. Highly recommend!

Sea La Vie - Studio 1 - elegant getaway in Split
The styling touches on this place were absolutely stunning. Very classy renovation! Other than that it was quiet, clean, comfortable and a great location. 100% recommend

Lovely apartment on the beach
We enjoyed staying at Gorana's apartment. It is spacious, calm, clean and has everything you need. The view of the sea is amazing and the pebble beach is a few minutes' walk away. It is a 25 - 30 minute walk into town, but in return for that you get a quiet and peaceful environment. There are several good non-touristy places to eat within 10 - 15 minutes - the Skipper pizzeria, with great views of the marina, is particularly good. The Meštrovic Gallery and chapel are a few minutes' walk away and well worth a visit. Overall, a very nice place to stay on our first visit to Split.

Luxury apartment Ranko-city center
Vesna's place is just perfect for a stay in Split. It is very close to the old town, but in a quiet and safe place so we were able to come and go during the day without issues. The flat itself is perfect, very conformable, very spacious, kitchen with all the appliances, comfortable shower and bed. I definitely recommend staying at Vesna's place if you are lucky enough to find it available!

City Centre 12th floor Island View apartment
The apartment was the perfect place to stay, so nice, the view was amazing and so close to old town! Would definitely come back if I ever return to Split!

Luxury apartment Eminence in Split Old Town centre
Great location within the old city of Split, close to everything but still quiet and private. Bruno led us to the door and gave us great recommendations for things to do and restaurants that were all wonderful. There are 3 flights of stairs, so keep that in mind. Very comfortable stay in a unique place. Highly recommended.

Breathtaking view, top location****
My family recently stayed at Boris’s apartment and everything exceeded our expectations! When we booked, he was very responsive to our questions and offered to arrange transportation to his unit at a reasonable price and he was waiting for us when we arrived to provide detailed instructions. The beautiful apartment was very well appointed, clean, comfortable with an amazing view and walking distance to many things. Exactly as described. Boris was even kind enough to provide some welcome snacks and treats. We highly recommend Boris and his apartment!

Villa Domnius
Fantastic property and fantastic host, can’t recommend this airbnb enough!! The villa was spotless inside and out and the host was so helpful! He dropped off fresh bread daily and even gave us a lift to the big supermarket a bit further away. Thank you so much for such a memorable hen party!

💎GREEN DREAM💎villa in SPLIT* discount September
If I could give this Airbnb 10 stars, I would! Ana’s villa was the perfect stay for our group of 9. The space is large, spotless, and the backyard is stunning. We loved relaxing by the pool and feeding the cute turtles with fruit and veggies. Ana was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions, recommending restaurants, and even booking one for us. She also arranged a fantastic driver for airport transfers. On our last night, Ana and her husband, Mate, prepared a traditional Croatian meal for us, accommodating all dietary needs. They even brought a birthday cake for one of our group—such a thoughtful touch! We were truly blown away by their hospitality. We can’t say enough good things about Ana, Mate, and the villa. We’re already talking about coming back. Don’t hesitate—book this place, you won’t regret it. Thank you for everything! – Your Canadian friends 😊

Epetium Beach Villa with Private Pool
We just finished a week in Stobrec and we really recommend this place. Stunning view and location but in close range of all you need. Stobrec has a lot of great restaurants and there is a local feel to the area than we really enjoyed. In top of this the hosts were very friendly.

Villa Central - Ground Floor
The villa is stunning. Better than the photos. Helena who looked after was there instantly for any questions. We loved it! X

Luxury Villa Roza
Lovely place - stayed here with 6 friends for 1 week, the villa was clean and in great condition. Great amenities and location too, only a short walk into the city centre. The managers and owners were very helpful and responded quickly to our requests.

Jacuzzi sea view apartment Ante - huge terrace
This apartment exceeded my expectations, everything was great. The view is spectacular and the private jacuzzi was amazing. Jozo was very friendly and accommodating, also drove us in his taxi which was great. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend 👌

Luxury apartment with pool "Katija" ONLY YOUR POOL
We had a lovely time at Katijas place. The outdoor space made it especially the view. She was a very kind host leaving us Moët champagne and strawberries on our second night which was a wonderful surprise. She also left us milk, bread and additional treats on our arrival. We had five nights altogether in which we explored Split, Hvar and Krka NP. The apartment was perfect for our needs, the only downside being it was a 10-15 mins Uber ride into Split but we knew that when we booked it.

Olive paradise-heated pool- romantic getaway for 2
A truly beautiful place in Podstrana, the highest house in the location it’s set in, we have felt incredibly lucky to spend ten days at Vinko’s lovely home. The view and terrace space is so beautiful, we didn’t feel like we needed to go and fill our days with activities because it was such an incredible place just where we were! We managed with taxis when we went for meals, never spending more than £10 to visit Split. Vinko was so helpful with recommendations from prior to our arrival all the way through to the end. The inside of the property has everything you need, the space is limited inside but this suited us as we were outside most of the time anyway. Would 100% recommend to anyone seeking a little luxury and relaxation.
Your guide to Split
Welcome to Split
At first glance, this Croatian port town on the Aegean Sea seduces the eye with white stone buildings and red-tiled roofs, which glow against the bright blue of the sky and the Mediterranean Sea. As you wander down Split’s narrow streets, you realize that the buildings around you span two millennia, and you find yourself staring upwards, picking out architectural details from the Roman era, the Middle Ages, and the Belle Epoque.
Whether you’re visiting Split at the peak of its bronzed-beachcomber summers or during its moody gray winters, Croatia’s second-biggest city exudes a relaxed vibrancy. The shops and galleries along Marmont Street (Marmontova Ulica), as well as its seafood market, are bustling no matter what time of year. In the warmer months, locals and visitors alike while away the afternoon at the bars and cafes flanking the beach at Bačvice, or settle into open-air restaurant tables along the Riva, the city’s seaside promenade, for a leisurely dinner and plenty of crowd-watching.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Split
The mild Mediterranean climate of the Dalmatian Coast brings plenty of visitors to Split. Like most of the region, winter is gentle here, though no one’s shimmying into bathing suits for a long day on the waterfront — the regular rains and winds green up the hillsides and keep locals indoors. April ushers in a flower-filled spring, and the whole town turns out for Krnjeval (Mardi Gras), celebrating with masked balls and parades. From late May through early September, the dry heat begins. With little rain and temperatures in the 80s and 90s Fahrenheit, Split’s beaches and tourist attractions fill up, and the pleasure boats on the sea proliferate. Croatians and foreigners alike descend on Split in July and August for the Summer Festival, when some of the city’s most scenic sites host open-air concerts and ballets. If you’d prefer to see a more serene side of Split, book one of the area’s vacation rentals for mid-September through October, when the water is still warm, the days are still sun-drenched, but the crowds have gone.
Top things to do in Split
Tour Diocletian’s Palace
Few Roman sites from 1,700 years ago have the immediacy of the spectacularly preserved Diocletian’s Palace. Built for the emperor back when Split was a village on the outskirts of the more populous Salona (itself now in ruins), Diocletian’s fortress and imperial residence has been absorbed into the surrounding houses and shops. You will shuttle back and forth through the centuries as you wander through the ancient Cathedral of St. Domnius, arched passageways and gates, and the peristyle (central courtyard). Afterward, head to the Archeological Museum to peruse hundreds of Roman artifacts.
Take Some Island Time
You could spend a full year exploring the 1,200 islands off the Croatian coast. If you don’t have a year, take a ferry to Hvar or Brač, two of the biggest, not to mention the easiest, to get to from Split. Hvar draws the internationally rich to its azure bays and graceful villas, and you can wander around the medieval city of Hvar or escape in a car to more remote towns and beaches. On Brač, vineyards and olive groves stripe the mountainside on Vidova Gora, which you can summit by foot in just a few hours, cooling off afterward on Golden Horn Beach.
Climb Marjan Hill
Split is situated on a peninsula that juts into the Aegean, and an expansive natural preserve covers its western tip. A large hill divides the park from the residential neighborhoods on its east flank, and as you climb you’ll pass open-air cafes, a Jewish cemetery, and centuries-old chapels. Many locals treat Marjan as an open-air gym, and you’ll likely spot runners sweating up the steps and climbers feeling their way along the rocky bluffs. If you crest Marjan Hill and head back down on its north side, you’ll reach pine-shaded beaches suited for contemplating the sea rather than stretching out a towel.
