The Geremia Luxury Rooms, part of a seventeenth-century baroque palace in the historic nucleus of Split within the medieval Venetian fortifications, are only 200 meters from the Roman emperor Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of Split’s major landmarks and points of interest, including the Republic Square or Pjaca (Piazza), Ivan Meštrović’s statue of Bishop Gregory of Nin and the Church of St. Domnius, are only a couple of minutes’ walk.

Each of the rooms features exceptional contemporary design in a traditional setting, and comes with a king size bed, air conditioning, flat screen TV (satellite channels and Netflix), WiFi, refrigerator, electric kettle and luxurious private bathroom with shower.

A complimentary à la carte breakfast is provided at one of Split’s finest restaurants, the Bokeria, right next door. Airport shuttle service and bicycle rental are available.

Geremia Palace in Split, Croatia

The baroque Geremia Palace, built in the mid-seventeenth century, has been in the possession of the Geremia nobility since the mid-eighteenth century. Just outside the Roman emperor Diocletian’s Palace, it is located in the medieval section of the Old Town, within the Venetians fortifications.

The most eminent member of the Geremia family was Octavian Geremia (1771‒1849), who played a significant role in Split public life at the end of the Venetian era, through the French era and the beginning of the Austrian era, becoming the mayor of Split in 1820.

In 1825, under Octavian Geremia’s patronage, the first ever international rowing regatta took place in Split, from the island of Mrdulja (between the islands of Brač and Šolta) to the Split Harbor, four years before the Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge and twelve years before the New York (Harlem) Regatta were established.
