Benedictine Monastery of St. Lucia

Date of stay 29 September 2025 for two nights. The property is pretty much as you'd expect from the website details and you download check-in instructions before arrival. I arrived 15 minutes early and the hosts were still getting the apartment ready for me, they were all friendly and one lives next door. Communication was a small problem but nothing that can't be solved with a translator app. They supplied most things I needed like toiletries and detergent for the washing machine but tea and coffee were not, although to their credit they did give me some coffee when I asked. The bed was quite comfortable. Some local supermarkets are a short walk or drive away as is a bus stop which will get you into Split in 20-30 minutes. Beware that traffic can be very bad on the main road and also the road parallel to it where the property is situated inbetween. The only criticisms I have are: - There is no barbeque grill as advertised. - Shower was a bit mouldy around the inside base. - Shower head does not fit holder, which itself is broken and held together with tape. Overall it's a decent and relatively clean place situated in a quiet area and good value for money.

Lovely room with view of the sea. Pool area was very well kept with nice bar. Food was delicious - we even ordered room service to eat on our balcony. Walk to city center doable but too taxi’s back up! Parking easy.

This was a delightful small hotel and excellently located for exploring Split. All the staff were amazingly kind and helpful. They met us from our taxi outside the palace walls and showed us the way in- it would be very hard to find otherwise. They also helped us with our bags to and from the hotel and gave us tips on places to eat. The rooms were comfortable, quiet and very well appointed. Highly recommend!
