Stone house luxury rooms

Inside a restored stone house on Smojina ulica, in Split's Veli Varoš quarter, this four-star property sits a ten-minute walk west of Diocletian's Palace along the harbor promenade — close enough for morning access before tour groups arrive, quiet enough at night to avoid Riva's café noise. It suits couples and independent travelers wanting a residential base over a hotel-district one.

Rooms keep exposed limestone walls and timber beams original to the house, with air conditioning added discreetly behind period woodwork. Marjan hill's pine paths start six minutes uphill, offering sea views over the old town without the crowds below.
