About this villa rental
The Olive Shadow Villa has been named after its eighteen olive trees surrounding the house in a well crafted, Mediterranean style garden. The villa has a large private outdoor pool which is often the main residence of our guests. in the residential area of Split, the villa has been built over the course of years which is reflected in the outdoor fitness area with table tennis and workout machines, grill area, as well as spacious indoor setting. The Olive Shadow Villa is rented on weekly or daily basis (min 3 days stay) . The Villa is fully air conditioned, fully refurbished with a high standard furniture and appliances. There are two+ parking spaces available for various motor and non-motor vehicles available for your use. The Olive Shadow Villa is located in the City of the Diocletian Palace, a UNESCO protected world monument that was build in 3rd century anno domini. Local beaches offer first and foremost swimming and boating in a pristine sea, beach volleyball, endless coffee drinking in a nearby beach bar, scooter driving and boat excursions. Of course, all of this is accessible to our guests by foot. The City of Split is a lively Mediterranean City that offers numerous events during the summer time: Split Music Festivals, Split Summer Festivals, various artistic performances, plenty of bars and restaurants, and very good looking people strolling around the City. We, your hosts, are here to help you out with where to go and what to see.

Enjoyed our stay at this house in Znjan. The owners parents were waiting for us when we arrived and handed us the keys. Large place that is well laid out for a decent size group. We were able to drive to Strobec for dinner, downtown near the Palace and Riva for site seeing, and to various beaches. The beach closest to the house is under a bit of construction, can still quickly get to one nice swimming spot or walk about a mile to get to a beach club near the Radisson hotel. Otherwise the house is in a pretty quiet area

Lovely property in a lovely setting. Great facilities and well maintained. It is two villas joined as one, with full kitchens, dining areas and sofa areas up and down stairs so privacy if you need it. Superb bathrooms and shower rooms, bidets, washing machines, dishwashers, and the all important air con - it's all here! Massive fridges with ice making facility - much needed as it was 38+ degrees while were there. Host is really helpful and her Dad Lovre met us, filled the fridge with cold drinks for us, topped up the chlorine in the pool and came to say goodbye. Absolutely great. Really 5 stars.
The villa is down a side lane which leads down to the main road (about a 7 minute walk) which you can then walk into Znjan and the beach. It's on a hill so great when you're going down...! The nearest supermarket is called Plodine and that is a 15 minute walk (uphill) and is a cross between a Tesco and an Aldi, so lots to choose from. Make sure you weigh any fruit or veg at the weighing stations before you take to the till. There are plenty of vegan choices too - butter replacement, nuggets etc, ice cream (Ben and Jerrys!), all sorts of stuff. We used Ubers to get around - most expensive was 12 euros but mostly they were around 8e for a five+ seater. But THE most important thing - take lots & lots of mosquito/midge stuff - before and after treatment. You can't see the blighters but they can see you! (Germolene and Sudacreme also good to have in your arsenal). Fabulous place.

Authentic Split home with pool and close to Beach in a split suburb but very close to all major attractions Roomy enough for 2 full families and kept in very good condition Family run with exceptional attentiveness to guest needs Be careful with driving at night as it's a dirt side road with minimal lighting and tricky parking but very safe overall Uber is best option Great boating to local islands as well

Great location, nice and secluded, fab pool area. We were 11 ladies on a hen weekend, the villa was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The owner met us at the villa on arrival and even stocked the fridge with beers and cold drinks. He was very helpful, would definitely go back.

What a wonderful house! Every amenity you could possibly need and all the space of home! And Lovre was so very nice to stock the refrigerator for us as we had a very delayed arrival…thank you Lovre! Very relaxing! Excellent location…very peaceful!

We were a group of 8 ladies. The villa is split into what is 2 large apartments that you can walk between. Fully air conditioned and very spacious. Very well equipped with toilet rolls, hand soap, washing up liquid and complimentary drinks in the fridge on arrival. 10 minute walk to the local beach with a few beach bars and a local shop. Split town about 10 minutes by cab. Beware, ordinary cabs were expensive but Uber was cheap and efficient. Would thoroughly recommend this villa. Lovely pool area and friendly welcome from the owners.

Wonderful home and a great host.
We very much enjoyed joyed our stay here. The home has two full kitchens and four bedrooms so plenty of room for a large group. The host was wonderful and accommodating. The pool was beautiful. The beaches are lovely and about a 10-15 minute walk. However it is not really convenient to walk to downtown Split. Probably a 60 minute walk. Uber works well.

I have stayed at the Olive Shadow in August 2014 and words cannot describe how amazing this holiday was, how hospitable and welcoming Lovre the host was. The Olive Shadow is a true gem located in the city of Split with a large pool, spacious terraces and apartment which is designed and equipped with modern furniture and appliances. Frankly, the house we live in England is smaller than this apartment! The Olive Shadow is literally 2 min away from the beaches and there are plenty to chose from. There are a lot of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area to chose from. Weather is amazingly warm and sunny, but dry, and temperature stood at around 28-30 degrees Celsius. Croatian people are welcoming, hospitable, and there to help out if you get lost. Lovre has took us around the first day we arrived and even took us to the large Tesco style supermarket to load on groceries for the week. He hasn't charged us for this, and he was there to help out with queries regarding the downtown Diocletian palace. Amazing, amazing, amazing house, amazing welcome, and we shall be hopefully back next year!!
