About the home

The house is situated in the last row of the Old Town, with panoramic views over the entrance to Boka Kotorska, a World Heritage Site, with the headlands of Croatia on the right and Lustica on the left. Four terraces and gardens allow for personal privacy and a variety of places to sit and to dine at different times of day while still enjoying this fabulous location. The house has a path shared only with immediate neighbours to the green market and central old town square ( two minutes) from which it is 10 minute walk down to the beach.Private shaded parking.

Renovation is of the highest standard, with new furnishings (room for everyone to sit together comfortably) and original artworks. Kitchen equipment and table wear is all new, plentiful and like the house in excellent condition. There are tables and padded armchairs on all terraces, with some sun loungers.

The traditional summer kitchen with the original built in barbecue and deep shade under a solid terrace and vines provides a cool place in summer and a dry and sheltered place to cook and eat outdoors in spring and autumn, day or night..

There is an en suite bathroom and a shower room as well as an additional separate toilet.

Adults, children and elderly less mobile guests wil be comfortable and safe here, with 'something for everyone' close by in the Old Town and along the promenade with dozens of swimming beaches which stretches for miles from the harbour (10 minutes walk). Explore the old lanes, churches and little museum, join the cafe society, walk for miles, swim or dance, you will find all you need here. The privacy and views from the house mean that staying at home is also an enjoyable and peaceful way to spend a day or evening.

Shopping for provisions for eating at home could not be easier with several grocery shops nearby. There are plenty of good restaurants serving grilled fish and meat with fresh salads, vegetables and breads along with excellent Plantaze - the best Montenegrin wine, within a short walk of the house.

Cyclists, walkers and those wanting to take small boats around the bay to little beaches can find these amenities easily. Drivers can explore Montenegro from this base. What ever you like to do (or not do!) on holiday this is the place to be.

The Coastal Montenegro / Boka Kotorska Fjord region

Herceg Novi sits facing the entrance to all of the beautiful Boka Bay. The region has become increasingly popular over recent years, recapturing some of its fame from the 1960's when it was a destination for film stars and their entourages.

It is a peaceful country and really on the 'up' , with massive property development in the Budva Riviera region providing work for many and a major employment and opportunity boom for people from far and wide, not just locals.

Boka Bay has had a more paced role in this revival of tourism, and retains its charm and scenery to a high degree. The area around Kotor has many new developments, as has Denovici and its neighbours. Generally speaking these fit in reasonable well, with a few exceptions.

There are dozens of places to visit and really something for everyone more or less everywhere in peak season, with Herceg Novi being a focus for local life in the quieter months around the bay, followed by Kotor

The Herceg Novi area

The Old Town of Herceg Novi is awash with history of its rich seafaring past. The present seafaring is of a more relaxing nature, with small boats to take you to little beaches and tiny resorts such as Rose on the Lutica peninsula, and the local children's sailing club lessons. At night you can see the fishing boats lights as they comb the entrance to Boka Kotorska for fish, which are on every restaurant menu daily.

The promenade from the harbour along the coast stretches for miles, dotted with cafes restaurants and dozens of places to swim, some cafe beaches with 'waiter service' in peak season. There are loungers and parasols to hire

Herceg Novi is a safe and friendly place, popular with families and people of all ages in peak season, but with 'normal life' continuing through out the year. There always seems to be a new event taking place, film festival, book fair, children's performances, concerts, parades and so forth around the town no matter what time of year you visit.

It is obvious when you visit Herceg Novi that it enjoys an exceptional climate. It is a micro- climate with excellent conditions for Mediterranean foliage and a history of seafarers bringing sample plants to grow in their home town. Thus leafy and green with many long established trees and pretty parks - providing a freshness in hot summer time unlike anywhere else in Montenegro.

The journey from Dubrovnik takes from 30 minutes depending on traffic. From Tivat (15km) 50 minutes depending on traffic.

Airlines currently flying to Dubrovnik in Croatia : BA (year round from Gatwick), Thompson, Aer Lingus, Easy Jet, Air Dubrovnik (year round) Croatia Airlines, with direct flights from Belfast International (Jet2) and many other UK airports in season, there is a steady increase in flights available so look carefully. Montenegro Airlines fly to Tivat in Montenegro.

There are taxis and car hire at the airport, but it is generally cheaper to arrange in Herceg Novi and the owner can help arrange this.
