Villa Marta

A very quirky apartment to stay, built within the actual perimiter walls of the old town. We stayed in the penthouse apartment at top, which I would definitely recommend for the private living area and kitchen upstairs. You also have access to a private rooftop terrace on the fort wall turrets which is very unique. You are in the heart of old town so the nearest parking is a few blocks away but still easily manageable. One thing to be aware of - on weekends there is a bar downstairs that has a DJ - so accept loud music on these nights right outside your window. On weekdays it seemed there was just bar noise but finished up early enough.

The hotel was great and the staff at Travel Agency Memento were very helpful. The rooms are over a cafe/bar and, like most of the old town, the noise level can be an issue. We stayed on a weekend and the music/crowd were fairly loud well into the evening. It did not bother us, and in fact added to the experience, but if you are looking for a quiet place to go to sleep early, this may not be it.

Very nice

Great location for the city, close to main sites and good restaurants. Comfortable room with good facilities. Reasonably priced mini bar. Only criticisms were the street noise although it didn't go on late and the villa's WiFi did not work.

Great hotel, great location. The hot water in the shower ran out faster than expected but for the benefits of staying in a unesco castle it was a price worth paying.

Perfect location in NW corner of Diocletian palace.. Lots of great cafes and wine bars locally too. Staff were helpful and check-in/out was simple

Wonderful stay in Villa Marta! Spacious room though the bathroom may be a bit small. We stayed at the 1st room which is 1 level above the main street. May be a bit noisy if you intend to rest early as there are some restaurants just at the main street. Other than that, everything was wonderful and we will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Split!

We were met at the agreed time, had a contact number to call if we needed anything (we didn't, but good to have this). Marija booked us a taxi for when we left, which was not overpriced (as we had found when accepting the same service from a hotel in Trogir) and the driver came to collect us and carry bags from Villa Marta, as you cannot drive all the way to it. This is not a hotel with reception, just three rooms in a beautifully restored building. However there was a cleaner every day at 11am. A lovely room with comfortable bed, good shower (with one wall of it made up of the Roman wall of the palace -pretty cool!) and reasonable air conditioning. Great central location, right at the corner of the ancient palace. Lovely bars very close and great restaurants. Fantastic atmosphere sitting outside against Roman walls, if a bit pricy. Ten minutes walk to many equally good and much cheaper restaurants just past the Western end of the Riva. Altogether an excellent and comfortable place to stay in a beautiful and interesting city.

clean, great A/C unit, location

This apartment is clean and has been recently updated. However, it can be somewhat difficult to find in the winding (and often unmarked) streets near Diocletian's palace. Once you get close enough to the hotel, there are signs posted on the walls directing you through alleys towards the apartment. The apartment does not provide a kitchen - it is essentially a room and bathroom. We only stayed there for one night, so it was sufficient for our purposes (sleeping). The caretaker did not provide us with toilet paper until we asked for it (twice), but she had obviously had a long day and was tired, so I wouldn't necessarily hold that against the owners themselves. Apart from any difficulty finding the apartment, the location itself is in very close proximity to the boardwalk in Split.
