Nick (the manager) was really helpful, which made all the difference since I was travelling solo. The accommodation is located in a great position only 10 min walk from the port and Riva. The apartment was clean and spacious and included everything you need for a short stay.

I believe there was an administrative error so we did not get our room in the hotel but staff had found us an alternative which turned out to be an upgrade in our booking. We were grateful that they took care of this without us having to worry at all but can’t provide any comment on the hotel facilities. Check-in was easy and we were provided loads of helpful info for our stay.

Host was extremely accommodating. Rooms were updated and large with small kitchenette, small refrigerator, stove top, dishwasher, table/chairs. Great AC, water pressure, hot water. Only 2 blocks from Old Town. A block from a supermarket. A beautiful courtyard with thousands of grapes hanging from the pergola. Though not advertised, the host let us use the washer & dryer. A really great place to stay in Split!

The place was very unique. We had our own little outdoor terrace/sitting area. The rooms were fine, lacking a living room/couch. The location is good, very close to the old area of the city connected by old walking only streets, it was very cool. The city is very nice, wish we had more time there. More pillows for sleeping or more supportive pillows is recommended.

Overall very nice. The only issues were the chandelier near the window being always in the way, and that all lamps had cool blue light bulbs making it hard to fall asleep. We missed warm lights.

A jewel close to the city centre
We really enjoyed staying here and felt relaxed and at home. The apartment was beautifully furnished and clean. Ravi is a fantastic host. Check-in was a bit awkward as the website said we could pay by Credit card but cash only was accepted. But our host was flexible in having us make an alternative arrangement.

Great Garden Getaway
Villa Minerva Gardens is a beautiful place to stay, just minutes walk from the beach and all of old town split! Love that it was fully equipped with a kitchen and laundry machine, the rooms were spacious and had tons of storage space. We got great recommendations from Ravi who helped make our stay even more amazing! Since you can get 10% off trips from the tourist office through Villa Minerva Gardens, we got a few bucks off our Krka trip which was also spectacular. Wonderful choice of accommodation for anyone visiting old town Split. The outdoor hang out areas are also gorgeous, loved being surrounded by grape vines and nature!

Perfect for a short stay in Split!
Margita was so welcoming to us and did a wonderful job of telling us about where best to visit. Communication was great before we left and made us feel well looked after. The place itself was perfect for a couple of nights stay, kitchenette had everything we needed and the outside space was lovely to sit out in and relax. Bed was super comfy too, would definitely recommend!
