Best places to stay:
Wake up within the ancient Roman walls of Split’s magnificent stone-paved old town at this homely hideaway.
The hotel’s 12 rooms are basic but comfortable and spread over four floors – there’s no lift but staff will help you with your luggage. There are three single rooms, a rare find for lone travellers.
Watch locals walking to and from the morning market, while you enjoy a generous cooked-to-order breakfast on the Tiffany restaurant terrace – after dark, it servesDalmatian seafood specialities by candlelight.
Expect highly personalised service – ask at reception for local recommendations, transfers and excursions.
