Hotel Sv. Mihovil

Set in Trilj, a market town where the Cetina River cuts through limestone karst above the Dalmatian coastal plain, Hotel Sv. Mihovil draws overland travellers skirting Split's summer crowds by 30 kilometres inland.

Three floors of non-smoking rooms include family configurations; free parking sits directly on-site, a practical detail absent from most Dalmatian coastal properties. Room service, airport transfers, and breakfast round out the offer without excess.

The bar stays open through the evening for guests returning from the Cetina canyon, a rafting and hiking corridor that sees a fraction of the foot traffic of Krka or Plitvice. Check-in opens at 17:00, check-out by 10:00.
