About

Villa Olea

Villa Olea sits on Sinjska Ulica, a short stroll from the historic heart of Split. The Catholic Church and monastery of St. Frane is 550 metres away, and Old Split is about a five-minute walk. It is a straightforward, three-star base for exploring the city on foot.

The hotel keeps things simple: an express check-in/out, key access, and a no-smoking policy throughout. Rooms feature parquet floors, a sitting area, an electric kettle, and free toiletries. The small scale means service stays personal, and the staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful.
