Your guest guide for Kaštel Stari

Self check-in from 4 pm – arriving late at night is no problem. We'll send you the access details (code & Wi-Fi) personally on the day of arrival, as soon as cleaning is finished.

Please complete the online check-in under My bookings beforehand (arrival time, guests) – we also need it for the legally required guest registration.

• Arriving early? You can usually drop off your luggage from around 10:15 am, once the previous guests have left.
• Early check-in or late check-out: possible if there's no changeover that day (€100) – just ask.
• Prefer a personal welcome? Let us know and someone from the team will show you around (about 5 minutes).

Split Airport (SPU) is only about 10 minutes away by car. Rental cars, taxis, Uber and Bolt are right at the terminal. By car via the A1, exit Prgomet/Kaštela – by ferry via Split port (approx. 25 minutes).

You'll find the exact address and Google Maps pin in your booking confirmation and under My bookings. Free private parking is right on the property.

In detail: arrival by plane, car or ferry

Check-out by 10 am – so the team can prepare the house for the next guests.

• Feel free to strip the beds – but please leave the fitted sheet / waterproof mattress protector on the bed. Not a must, though.
• Put the used bed linen and towels in a pile in the living room.
• Load and start the dishwasher.
• Take the rubbish to the bins, deposit bottles in a bag next to them.

You're welcome to leave your luggage in the villa after check-out and pick it up before your flight.

• If you open it, close it; if you turn it on, turn it off; if something breaks, let us know so we can fix it for the next guests.
• No loud music or loud conversations outside after 10 pm – to keep the peace with the neighbours. Indoors with doors closed is fine.
• Smoking (including vaping) only outside, never inside the villa – sensors detect smoke, and a special cleaning fee of €500 applies.
• Dogs are very welcome (€79 per pet) – just not on sofas or beds. Whether dogs may join you in the pool depends on your villa (see below).

Pool and hot tub are heated from late March to October, included in the price: pool approx. 27–29 °C, hot tub approx. 37 °C.

• Please always cover the hot tub after use – otherwise it loses heat quickly.
• Shower before swimming; apply sunscreen and oil afterwards.
• No glass by the pool – plastic cups are provided. If glass, food, oil or alcohol gets into the water, the pool has to be drained and cleaned (€350).
• Children only under supervision, babies with swim nappies; no diving.
• Please don't change the technical settings or temperature yourself – just tell us and we'll take care of it.
• In winter (November–March) the pool is switched off. On request we heat the hot tub if you cover the electricity costs (not at Just be Happy – there it's connected to the pool).

Our pool technician will pop by briefly during your stay – we'll let you know beforehand.

Please take the rubbish to the bins regularly – no food scraps in the house overnight (or the ants will come).

How to separate is shown on the signs on the bins. Usual in Croatia: blue = paper, yellow = plastic and metal packaging, green = glass, grey/black = general waste.

Bottles and cans with the deposit logo ("Povratna naknada") can be returned at the supermarket (€0.10 each) – or just leave them in a bag next to the bins when you check out. Where the bins are is noted for your villa.

• Groceries before arrival & extras: drinks, breakfast & more can be added under My bookings.
