Magic Rooms Split

Forty steps from Matosica street's quiet residential edge, Magic Rooms Split occupies a converted townhouse a fifteen-minute walk from Diocletian's Palace, close enough for the old town's marble streets without the summer crowds pressing against the windows. It suits couples and independent travellers wanting a residential base over a hotel-block one.

Rooms keep private kitchenettes rather than minibars, useful given the Pazar green market two streets over. Split's ferry harbor, with island connections to Hvar and Brač, sits a twenty-minute walk downhill, flatter on the return by bus.
