About

Stara Kala Varos Apartment

Stara Kala Varos Apartment is a 35 m² one-bedroom apartment in Split's Veli Varos neighborhood, just outside the city centrum. The space mixes modern amenities with historic details — exposed brick and beams — and includes a living room with a sofa bed, a separate bedroom, a kitchen with a dining table, and a washing machine. Air conditioning and free Wi-Fi come as standard, and a flat-screen TV with Netflix is available.

The apartment sits within a short stroll of Split's key sights: Diocletian's Palace is about 600 metres away, the Riva promenade around 530 metres, and Marjan Park roughly 870 metres. The property also lists entertainment options like a casino and night club, though these are nearby rather than on-site. With a guest rating of 9.3 out of 142 reviews, it's a well-regarded choice for exploring the city.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Paid parking nearby — While parking is listed as an amenity, at least one review mentions 'paid parking nearby' — so a free dedicated spot is not guaranteed, and costs may apply.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals or early flights.
  • Compact space — At 35 m², the apartment is compact — fine for couples or solo travelers, but may feel snug for larger groups or longer stays.

“Amazing location in the charming Veli Varos neighborhood just outside the center. Rooftop views were stunning and the shower was fantastic. Kitchen was well-equipped, though with so many great restaurants nearby we didn't cook much. Comfortable beds, excellent host communication, and hassle-free self-check-in.”
