About

Grisogono Palace Heritage Residence

Grisogono Palace Heritage Residence occupies a recently renovated UNESCO-listed palace in the heart of Split's Old Town. The 1-room apartment combines original heritage elements — including a remarkable ceiling — with modern comforts like air conditioning, a kitchenette, and soundproofed rooms.

The residence sits right on the Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace, with the Cathedral of Saint Domnius 40 m away and the Riva promenade a 5-minute stroll. Lvxor Kavana & Restoran is 20 m from the door, and the Ethnographic Museum Split is a 3-minute walk.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Potential noise from the square — Windows open onto the Peristyle, where performances and music can be heard at night. Most guests enjoy the atmosphere, but light sleepers may find it lively.
  • Only one apartment available — The residence has a single room, so availability is limited and the experience is more like a private rental than a full-service hotel.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals unless arranged separately.
  • No pets and no on-site smoking — Pets are not allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking — a constraint for some travellers.

“Everything was superb, and the rooms were well-appointed. The staff were lovely and friendly, making our one-night stay a real treat. The setting just off the palace in the middle of the old town was special, and the Lvxor restaurant and cafe was a highlight.”

9Verified guest

“The beach is only a short stroll away, ideal for unwinding with a cocktail after a day of sightseeing. The ancient palace adds historical charm to the stay. The on-site restaurant and bar serve delicious food and drinks, which is very convenient.”

“True to its name, this is a luxury modern apartment in a recently renovated UNESCO palace, with windows opening right onto the village square. It's perfectly placed for the historic atmosphere, close to the waterfront, restaurants, and transport. Great for people-watching, and the music in the village at night finished by 11 pm, which was no problem. Owner Katia went out of her way to collect us when we got lost, was most welcoming, and shared plenty of local tips. It was a privilege to stay, and I'd recommend it to anyone after a special experience.”

“Beach just 300 m away, ideal for people-watching with a cocktail. Hiking in Marjan forest-park is a perfect way to work off vacation calories. Staying in a historical palace made me feel like a time-traveling aristocrat.”
