We just came back from a week in Croatia where we spent the last night at Villa Stina.

The positive reviews describe the establishment correctly, although words perhaps must fail to do full justice to the friendliness and helpfulness of Ivana and Mario! That is perhaps the single most important charateristic for a place like this ...

Given the location the sound level during the night was surprisingly low, although, understandably, less so in the late evening and morning. Our only concern worth mentioning would be that the basement/ground floor room we stayed in got very clammy with moisture and unfresh air during the night, in spite of us having the window tilted open as well as the bathroom door open. We did not run the a/c (which appears to be of the standard re-circulation type) for noise reasons (not louder than normal). During the early morning the air quality suddenly improved - we can just speculate that a change of wind facilitated the circulation of air. But of course, it might have been myself who didn't understand how to get a reasonable exchange of air in the room!

"Even the Sun has to live with a spot!"

We've just returned from a great holiday in Croatia and Split was our last destination. Villa Stina is perfectly located to see all the cultural sights (5 mins walk from the Palace) but also only a short walk to the main city beach as well. The rooms have been refurbished to a really high standard, but also retain a lot of the authentic feel of the older buildings in Split. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and really made the stay enjoyable and as easy for us as possible. Would definitely go back!

It is easy to access the Palace of Diocletian etc. I would definitely rebook! This would be ultimate place for couple who wants to have some romantic time in Split...
