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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wife and I stayed here with out 8 year old daughter. Were very comfortable and loved the location. The host helpfully met us outside of the palace and helped us to navigate our way through the Palace. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
