Great stay close to all the attractions

My 2 day stay here with my sister was everything we were looking for. It's super close to the attractions (right outside of the castle, and a couple of blocks from the waterfront). Communications were great, we were able to leave our luggage here prior to our check-in. Room was great for 2 people, AC worked well, shower worked well. Even had a fridge and small kitchen appliances. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was decent.

If you are looking for a place to stay that is close to all attractions including the beach, has great staff, is clean and has THE BEST air conditioning in all of Europe- this is the place for you. Nicholas was the best host we have ever worked with- very welcoming, attentive and helpful. Everything that you want to see in Split is a short walk away and the air conditioning was top notch. We would stay here again and ten outta ten recommend.

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.

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!

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!

Fairly ok.. July is high peak in Split so needed room for one night with family.. kind of ok and all works and owner definitely tried but its apartment and not hotel.
AC works well and wifi and kitchen etc and bathroom is good.. overall i would say 3star apartment but comparing for hotels 1-2star..

Location is good.

If could be better cleaned also the corners and below the bed so it would make bigger improvement..

Still did the job..

Die wirklich gute zentrale Lage , auch die Möglichkeit in der Nähe zu essen war ideal. Die Ausstattung des Studios war leider nicht so wie erwartet. Eine kleine billige Kaffeemaschine wäre sicher eine gute Investition. Einen Mokka zuzubereien ist nicht Jedermanns Sache . Der Manager war absolut unserer Meinung, sagte aber ,daß der Besitzer daran kein Interesse hat.Schade. Die Sauberkeit im Außenbereich läßt ebenfalls zu wünschen übrig.

Charming and practical

Charming accomodation near the city centre. I especially liked the possibility to enjoy the outside areas, the cooling air conditioning and the kind hosts. We stayed in a one-room flat and had everything we needed. If you want luxury you should find another place, but if you want to enjoy the city of Split and stay at a comfortable and central little flat, this is perfect!
