The city of Split, with its magnificent historical sites, scenic coastal vistas, and a welcoming local atmosphere, is a must-visit destination for travellers in search of the perfect balance of culture, relaxation, and adventure. Nestled along the captivating Dalmatian Coast, it’s a vibrant mix of modern life and ancient history, making it a thriving hub for both locals and tourists.
The heart of Split is the historic Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world. Built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century, this massive complex now forms the nucleus of the city. Within the palace walls, you'll discover a labyrinth of narrow streets, charming squares, and historic buildings.

The park features lush greenery, jogging trails, and stunning viewpoints overlooking the city and the sea. It's an ideal place for hiking, picnicking, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the Mediterranean.
The Split region offers a variety of beautiful beaches. Bacvice and Ovcice are two popular choices conveniently located near the city centre. The sandy shores are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and trying your hand at the local beach sport, picigin. Exploring further along the coast, you'll find numerous rocky coves and pebble beaches, each with their own unique charm.
For adventure seekers, Split offers a wide array of outdoor activities and water sports. From kayaking and paddle-boarding to sailing and scuba diving, there's something for everyone who wants to experience the Adriatic up close. Split is a great base for taking boat trips to the nearby islands, where you can explore underwater caves and secluded beaches.
Croatian cuisine is known for its fresh, local ingredients and Mediterranean influence. You’ll be able to savour delicious seafood, grilled meats, and traditional recipes. To experience authentic Croatian flavours, visit the local konoba (taverns) that serve traditional dishes like pasticada (a slow-cooked beef stew), and peka (baked meat and vegetables). Pair your meal with local wines and olive oils for a complete gastronomic experience.

Wonderful Holiday
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this wonderful property. My wife and I, with our two daughters and our eldest daughters fiancé cannot speak highly enough of the stay we enjoyed. We would also add that Ana herself is a wonderful host and could not have been more helpful.

Lovely villa and owners
The property works very well for a group of adults as all the bedrooms are of equal size and have an ensuite (with the exception of one smaller room). The townhouse style means there are quite a lot of stairs which wasn't a problem for us but may not suit the elderly or those with young children. The villa is beautifully decorated and in good condition. The pool area is also beautifully designed and has been well maintained. Unfortunately, for us, this lovely pool side area was slightly spoilt by road noise so I can't honestly say it was a tranquil spot, but this may not be a problem for other visitors. A strong plus side of this villa is the helpfulness of the owners who had stocked the fridge with some food and drink for our arrival and were always happy to provide advice and information.

Excellent Villa
Beautiful villa. We were a family of 10 and a perfect size for us all. Lots of space. Extremely clean. Lots of thoughtful touches and extras. Ana and Petar were wonderful hosts, always ready to help and the welcome platter and drinks were a very thoughtful and delicious arrival surprise. They were always contactable and helped with any questions we had. The views from the Villa were stunning, the location is perfect if you fancy a little dip in the sea as it is literally across the road and Marina town is a lovely short walk (10 minutes) through the beautiful harbour. We have absolutely loved our stay and we plan to return. Thank you again Ana and Petar.

50th Birthday Holiday
We were a group of five women travelling for a week away to celebrate our 50th Birthdays. The accommodation was spotless, perfectly situated and just everything you could possibly need. The sea front was easily accessible along with several restaurants and bars. It was probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Ana & Peter greeted us with warmth and great hospitality. We hope to return to Villa Ljubo one day in the future. A wonderful stay and we wouldn't hesitate to give the property and its hosts 5 stars!!

Perfect Holiday
Wow! This was pretty much the perfect holiday. First and foremost Petar and Ana are amazing hosts. Their communication is pretty much instant. Their recommendations and suggestions were all spot on and they were able to help and advise when needed. The villa is beautiful. The location amazing, with views over Marina, that by night are breathtaking. Yes, the coastal road runs along the bottom of the property but this is a small price to pay for the convenience and setting. We spent days by the pool, made use of the paddle boards and kayak provided and ventured into Trogir (which is stunning) and Split. Petar recommended a local taxi driver, Darian, who was reliable, informative and punctual. The area of Marina itself provides opportunity for lovely meals, drinks and walks. There are two good sized supermarkets within walking distance. We had a blast and would highly recommend the villa and hosts if you are considering a holiday in this lovely country.
