About this property

Your private oasis in the city center. Postcard view from your private terrace.

Our dear guest, we understand you may have concerns about traveling or continuing with your planned trip. Split region and Croatia, in general, are one of the most suggested destinations in 2020, not only by relevant European media but also by word of mouth.
This letter is our guarantee of the highest service quality and excellence standards, as well as a promise to you.
Exceptional Care Policy
We are paying particular attention to disinfecting high touch areas. Those surfaces include tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Basically the whole property is professionally deep cleaned and disinfected after every stay.
 Our standard for every cleaning process is a two-step approach. We use a detergent or soap and hot water for visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection to kill germs on surfaces. We use ecological hospital-grade disinfectants and alcohol-based products for this cleaning.
 Of course, we will still continue to provide pump bottles of hand soap in every bathroom and kitchen, along with a hand sanitizer, plenty of tissues, or antibacterial wipes. Besides that disinfectant and other cleaning products are now stored along with the dishwashing and laundry detergents in the house, and in our garden, for use during your stay.
 Sheets, towels, and other textiles are washed using the warmest setting and dried.
 Our cleaning lady Mrs. Svjetlana takes all the responsible sanitary actions of herself. The place is 100% cleaned with impermeable, disposable gloves, that are thrown away after each clean. Mrs. Svjetlana always makes sure to air and ventilate the property during and after cleaning.
Outstanding value-added
 If you book the vacation in Villa Aurora, the only crowd you'll see is the one you bring with you. You can relax with family and friends without worrying about exposure to other guests or shared spaces.
 Avoiding airports? Split is a great drive-to destination, and your apartment is in the best location in the city. A huge private terrace with the best view in the city and a garden for your family and friends is a guarantee of a memorable vacation.
 As mentioned in the description of the property all of the attractions are walking distance, so you can be sure to have everything accessible while enjoying a glass of vine in your private oasis on the top of one of the oldest Split neighborhoods. Beaches are easily accessible, and the park-forest Marjan with numerous activities (340 hectares or 840 acres) is right through your doors.
 Another unique option that we offer is a service of grocery and other shopping prior to your arrival. You send us a list, and we have it delivered to you upon your arrival. The guests pay the items based on the store receipt/invoice. We are also able to get fresh products from local farmers and fishermen, ask us more if you are interested in this option as well.
As you can see we go above and beyond in a safe and secure vacation experience. I would like to emphasize our current reviews, which clearly state how much we care for your satisfaction and providing an outstanding experience. Moreover, I am, and I will be a single voice and a single point of contact before and during your stay.

This one of a kind luxury apartment is perfectly located, just above the Diocletian’s palace and the old town, and to get to the coast (Riva) you will enjoy a short three-minute walk through the most charming part of Split. It is conveniently located on a hillside, from where you can enjoy the best view in the city. From our generous (40m2) terrace the city seems like on the palm of your hand. On the other side, we are bordering with the park/forest Marjan, which offers many beaches, trails, and a lot of possibilities to enjoy nature, sun, fresh air, and feel the Mediterranean like it once was.
The apartment is 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, with over 120 m2 (1350 ft2) plus the huge private terrace, and the shared Mediterranean garden in the shade, behind this three apartment villa. When you walk in, you will notice the open space concept kitchen which continues to the dining area and the living room. Floor to ceiling windows/doors from both sides leaves the impression of being one with nature and the surrounding. Our focus was to make our guests feel Split with all of their senses, and this apartment is perfect for that. The villa was built to “catch” some breeze coming from the sea, so the whole living area is really perfect to enjoy.
Our kitchen is fully equipped and in our Mediterranean garden, you are free to take some herbs if you would like to add some special local flavor to your dishes. The connected living room can be opened from both seasides, so you there you will definitely that breeze I mentioned. The flow of this apartment makes it a great place to either entertain or have a siesta in the afternoon. In my opinion, being here, you will not need a TV, but of course, there is a big flat-screen TV and the highest commercial speed internet available for your convenience.
There are three bedrooms in total. All of them are really private, newly equipped, and a pleasure to sleep in. The Master bedroom has an old city view, the second bedroom has a private exit to the terrace, and the third one is perfect for the people who like to sleep late because it is on the quiet corner of the apartment.
There are two full bathrooms, and the laundry is available in the basement. The A/C is available in every room. There is one private parking space for this apartment.

As you can see from the photos the place looks really nice, with high-end finishes and local materials such as famous stone from the island of Brač. Not only the White House in Washington was built with the stone from Brač, but it gave inspiration to many sculptors as well. During your stay, we can help you with any advice, and if you wish help you with some local suggestions. If you would like us to organize you an event for you, or visit to some of the many interesting locations surrounding Split let us know, and we can discuss your needs.

Great Location - Wonderful Relaxing Stay
The place was amazing. The views and location are unbeatable. It was close to everything in town but far away enough to be quiet. The home is modern, clean we maintained. The communication process throughout the stay was outstanding. (pre arrival, during stay and at departure). Everything you needed was provided and the offer to purchase your groceries prior to arrival is helpful (especially after travelling 20 hours). Filip was away but his father took care of us. The weather was weird during our stay being on the chilly side half the time and hot the other half. They brought up heaters and turned on the cooling system earlier to allow the AC units to run. We were greeted at arrival where they showed us the home and how to use everything and remained incredibly helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend this place and will definitely rebook if we return to Split.

Fantastic time in Split
We had such a great time in Split. The apartment was very clean and ready when we arrived. The location was perfect, above the city center with beautiful views. Maybe a 5 minute walk to the promenade. Felipe was so helpful with recommendations on sites to see, plus restaurants. If we had any questions, he responded right away. Couldn’t have asked for a better host. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

This property has a great emotional value for me, it has been passed in the family. I would kindly ask you to respect it, and to treat it like it is yours.

What makes this property unique

There are actually many unique benefits of this apartment.
Private terrace in the neighborhood filled with small Mediterranean homes is just one of them. The view is probably the best in the city. A garden behind the villa which will give you some shade in the afternoon, and some space to recharge your batteries after the beach.
Marjan, park/forest, is a protected area, and it is called "The lungs of the city". You will be bordering Marjan from one side. Over there you will find many trails, beaches, possibilities to enjoy the Mediterranean like it once was.
