We have just returned from this apartment after a wonderful holiday.
Communication with Stu prior to the holiday was fantastic and always prompt. Thanks to the detailed instructions, we found the apartment complex in a straightforward manner. Stu and Elaine had left a bottle of wine and a lovely welcome card, which was a great touch. The apartment itself met all our requirements. There was ample living space and a kitchen that featured everything that would be required. There is a large TV and DVD player, which came in handy when the kids (4 and 7) needed some downtime. The rooms were fine, with a very comfortable bed in the master bedroom (not always the case!) and the kids loved the bunk bed. The shower looks bit tight on the picture, but I’m 6ft 2 and found it fine.
The best aspect of the apartment though is the balcony, which provides a stunning view of the coastline and mountains, including Sveti Stefan. The complex itself was great, with two different pools, a larger one, which is busier (although we always got a sun lounger) and a smaller one, which we used most often and on more than one occasion were the only people using it.
The location of the apartment complex is great, as it is well away from the main road, but a short walk to Bečići beach. There are two decent shops very close and a larger supermarket around 10 minutes’ walk away. There is also a small store next to the complex selling fresh fruit and vegetables. It is on a hill, so easier down than up, but as a result provides some great views!
Most of the restaurants and bars are on the beachfront and there is plenty of choice, as they stretch from Bečići to Rafailovići. However, we also really liked the restaurant nearest to the complex, which is the Spa Hotel.
As a base for further exploring, the apartment is well located. Budva is very close and offers different experiences. Sveti Stefan, Jaz beach (more sandier), Tivat and Kotor are not far away. One of the highlights of our trip was a boat trip on Lake Skadar, particularly after taking the mountain road.
Montenegro is well worth visiting and the apartment was a fantastic place to stay and we highly recommend. We would not hesitate to book again if we return to the area
