LOCATION: Emperor's Retreat Apartment is located inside the building which has only one other apartment, providing you with the privacy, and the safety of extremely low human traffic in the authentic old stone building. Compare our accommodation to hotels, or other centrally located old stone buildings with numerous apartments, and you will see why Emperor's Retreat Apartment should be your choice for the stay in Split!

Furthermore, every year, and this year in particular, we are known to follow the strictest cleaning practices. The villa is throughly cleaned after each guest with disinfecting and sanitizing products. All the linens are washed on high heat after all the guests.

Nearby Attractions : Right next to the building and the apartment, there are numerous churches, museum, shops, restaurants, Diocletians Palace. Imagine strolling down narrow streets of downtown Split, checking the old Roman walls of the emperor Diocletian.

Or you prefer a shopping spree. Split has a great selection of small shops. Traditional jewelry shops are worth of your visit, and the selection of gold jewelry is great.

Hungry? No problem. Local produce and fish markets are steps away for your local food sampling. Various restaurants offer convenience for those who want to spend more time exploring and sightseeing, and less time in the kitchen.

Such a great location! It's an easy walk in, next to the square, short walks to the palace and waterfront. The apartment is a good size with an equipped kitchen, small bathroom but plenty of hot water. Air conditioned in both bedroom and main room. Met by the host who is very helpful and friendly. One thing to mention is that it can be a bit noisy due to the proximity to the square.

The property manager was first rate. She communicated with us beforehand, met us at the apartment, explained everything we needed to know, and responded quickly when I had a question. The apartment is well located in the old city. It is comfortable and clean. We stayed just two nights but could have enjoyed staying longer.

The position of the apartment was perfect as it was handy to everything we wanted to do. Restaurants, shops, sights and pubs. The only down side is the noise from people talking outside but this didnt effect us too much as we were pretty exhausted after very busy days exploring.

Fantastic location

The apartment is literally on the main square, location cannot be beat. Very small bathroom and kitchen. I could have forgone the kitchen to have a functional bathroom. There is a washer in the unit, but no way to hang clothes to dry. This was important to us as we packed with the intention of doing laundry. We made use of the table and chairs in the main living space to dry laundry. (Otherwise these pieces of furniture were a waste of precious space). All in all we were happy with the unit. It was safe and clean.

Pros: the room is very conveniently located. It is literally few steps from the Diocletian Palace. My family traveled by train, bus, then cruise ship. Even with all our heavy luggage, we were able to walk back and forth from the room to the train/bus/ship. The room is also close to several food options but best of all was a Spar grocery store just steps from the room. The room also has complete amenities: kitchen with all tools/appliances you will need, some basic needs (salt, dish soap etc.), laundry machine, towels. Air conditioning was awesome (it was very hot during our stay). Zana is a very kind property manager. She even helped carry our luggage up the stairs. Iva is also easy to communicate with by e-mail when I have questions. WIFI is fast and reliable. Cons: there are no elevators in the property but just need to climb one flight of stairs to get to the room. The dishwasher and laundry are a bit difficult to use - it would be nice for an easy to understand guide to be provided. The room is somewhat small especially the shower area but it was ok for us (we are a group of 3 adults). The room was mostly clean but I did see some small bugs in the cupboard with the broom. No big deal though, probably just some dust bugs. The area is quite loud so if you are a light sleeper, it may be an issue.

This flat has everything you need! Even though it is compact, it suited our needs. The location was on the piazza close to restaurants and the Palace. We walked to all the attractions without a problem. Make sure to walk the wall! The views were great and we were able to take great photos.
