Fantastic Service!
Pros:

The room was so beautiful and felt like you were in a roman palace! The best thing was Roma though, he was so helpful and just absolutely the best part about the stay. He came to help whenever we needed and was so knowledgable about the city! Would go back for him!

Pros:

Невероятно атмосферное место, из которого не хочется уезжать! Расположение в самом сердце старого города, комфорт, интерьер, внимание к деталям, забота и внимание, которыми нас окружил Томислав… Одним словом, роскошно! Без сомнений остановились бы в этом отеле снова.

Cons:

Такого не было

Beautiful castle vibes in the heart of old town
Pros:

Beautiful interior. Great location in the heart of the old town. We used it as our accommodation around our wedding. It’s perfect for taking pictures in the apartment. Our host tomislav was always there to help with anything we needed.

Pros:

The room was amazing and filled with interesting art and historical pieces. Perfectly clean and well appointed. Laundry and ironing were in room. High quality kitchen wear and glass wear with everything you need. Bathrooms were also complete and beautiful in every way. Just a first class facility in an absolutely perfect location a minute walk to the center of Diocletian’s Palace, if you walk slowly.
And the best part of all was Toma and the rest of the staff! So friendly and eager to help. Great people! I’ve been a lot of places but have never stayed in a finer establishment.

Great Location, Even Better Service, Highly Recommend!
Pros:

The location, right inside the Diocletian Palace, was ideal. The rooms were large and comfortable. But the real differentiating factor was the service and support of the property. Tomislav was simply outstanding - before we got there, while were there and when we were leaving. There was nothing he would not do to make our stay better. Responsive, accommodating, of service always - could not have asked for anything better. He is truly a great asset for Vila Nepos!

Cons:

The only downside (and it really didn't make a major difference, was that it could stay a bit noisy into the evening. And the Church bells religiously (ha ha) at 6 AM every morning. A bit of a shock the first morning, but not a big deal after that. But something to know before you go. Does not alter my feeling for the property at all.

The room was so comfortable and an amazing size for our family of 4. The staff was super kind and helpful, and we were located right in the center of the old town and Diocletian's Palace. Breakfast was at a nearby hotel and was delicious with several different options.

We loved it and hope to be able to come again
Pros:

Spectacular palatial suite right in Diocletian’s palace in Split, Croatia. Even better, we got lost after our taxi dropped us off at the edge of the pedestrian section of the city where the hotel is located. A Good Samaritan asked us where we were going, and then called Toma at Villa Nepo who walked over to us, took our (heavy) bags and checked us in. He did the same thing when we checked out, keeping the bags for us until it was time to go to the airport and giving us another great day in Split.

Cons:

Nothing, no complaints at all

Perfect place to stay in Split!
Pros:

Everything is perfect at Vila Nepos, location is superb, 2 bedroom apartments fully equipped and spacious.
Toma the manager goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is perfect. He also helped me out when i got to the airport and realised I had left my passport and documents in the safe in my room, he couldn’t have been kinder and more helpful, he saved the day and I got home!
Totally recommend it to anybody visiting Split.

Cons:

No complaints at all!
