Penthouse Matkovic

"The apartment was in an amazing location right in the palace with a beautiful view of the tower. The large balcony/terrace was fab and on the decent weather days got the sun all day. There was plenty of space for our family of 3 and both the large bed and sofa bed were very comfy. The property was also equipped with everything we could need. Host was helpful and responsive."

"People have commented on the bells and the stairs - neither of these things bothered us at all. We really don’t have anything negative to say."

"Perfect location right in the heart of the old town, within the walls of Diocletian’s Palace. We loved the incredible view from the terrace, which looks out towards the St Domnius tower. The apartment was absolutely delightful and very spacious, with everything very clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed. The owners were very friendly and communication was excellent."

"Nothing - all was wonderful."

"Very spacious and clean with lovely balcony . Beds were large - even the sofa bed"

"Aucun."

"Amazing perfect location"

"Aucun."

"The location was exceptional and the view from balcony was well worth the price we paid. We were given a bottle of wine and a couple of beer which was a nice touch. The host was lovely but we expected abit more given the circumstances of no hot water."

"Arrival instructions came just as we arrived in Split and we had no internet so we were very lost. It took quite an effort to make contact with the host who was not at the location. The hot water service was broken and this was explained to us upon arrival. We were offered the option to cancel and get a refund . Unsure of where we would go though! Th eservice was repaired at 8PM but we were not able to use the spa bath the entire stay. No offer of compensation was offered - only a text apology. The wifi did not work in the bedroom."

"This place is pure magic, located just inches away from where the Roman emperor was buried, inside his palace. You can savour the unique atmoshere of ancient times and enjoy the privacy of a very comfortable apartment. The squere below is very vibrant, with life music and professional dancers, whom you can watch from the above."

"Aucun."

"It must be the perfect place to stay in Split. You couldn't be more in the centre of things but it's still cosy and peaceful. The service and support from the team is amazing. We were genuinely sad to leave. Yes, there's the stairs and the bells but you're in the middle of an amazing city full of history."

"There's nothing not to like."

"Located in the center of Split with a view over the Cathedral, it doesn't get more central. The apartment was very spacious and had a nice balcony. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and answered all questions immediately. The kitchen was well equipped and the only two things we would have liked to be available was a microwave and a grill on the balcony, but it was definately possible to cook nice meals in the kitchen. We have to big teenageboys who does not like to share a bed, so the host provided extra sheets, so they didn't have to share sheets."

"As others mentioned the apartment is on the third floor with no elevator, but I think that's a minor detail. Parking is a few minutes away, which we didn't mind, but it was rather expensive (July 2025: EUR1,5/hour). The host had explained that it was possible to park for free in the streets, but it was impossible to find a public parking spot. The sofabed in the living room was ok to sleep on for a couple of nights, but it wasn't great. We ended up letting our oldest sleep in the bedroom and our youngest slept on the chaiselong, while my husband and I shared the sofabed."

"Our stay at Penthouse Matkovic, though only for two nights, left a truly lasting impression. The very good space of the penthouse was immediately apparent, offering ample room to relax and spread out comfortably. However, the absolute highlight was undoubtedly the wonderful view and location. Waking up to such breathtaking scenery and being perfectly situated to explore was an absolute dream. What also struck us was that the house genuinely has all that is needed to stay longer. From a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable living areas, it felt like a true home away from home, making us wish we could have extended our trip"

"The only significant downside we encountered was the three-floor stairs. While fine for a short stay with minimal luggage, carrying multiple bags up and down proved to be quite an awful ordeal. Something to definitely consider if you're traveling with a lot of luggage."

"A beautiful roomy apartment in a great location overlooking the bell tower of the cathedral. My friend enjoyed the massive bedroom and I was very comfortable on the sofa bed, it makes the kitchen / lounge like a studio in its own right. We easily found the agent a few minutes from the flat, he took us there and even carried our bags up the stairs. The terrace is huge."

"It's worth bearing in mind there isn't a lift but the flat, location, view and terrace make up for that"
