Apartment with pool (apartment)

Home description

This brand new 2-bedroom apartment is located in an unrivalled position with stunning panoramic views of the beautiful Kotor Bay fiord and the romantic, medieval Montenegrin town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Within the pretty village of Muo, just next to Kotor, it occupies a tranquil position near the waterfront but within walking distance of Kotor’s charming amenities, marina and bustling Mediterranean-style piazzas.

The apartment is part of a new boutique development in an elevated position behind the Venetian fishermen’s houses that line the waterfront. These medieval houses, with their stone jetties and 13th century church, provide great character and charm to the village.

The apartment is light and airy with floor to ceiling windows and two terraces extending from the main living area and master bedroom. It is well-appointed and has been equipped and furnished to the highest standards in a contemporary style. There is a climate control system (cooling/heating), and a flat-screen TV, DVD and hi-fi systems are provided.

Situated on the ground floor, the apartment opens onto delightful gardens, and benefits from an extended sunny terrace area at the front of the property. Stunning views can be enjoyed from both terraces.

The Coastal Montenegro / Boka Kotorska Fjord region

Kotor Bay – voted one of the top 10 “Most Beautiful Bays in the World” – is a place of “breathtaking natural beauty and historic interest” with romantic, picturesque villages and towns dotted along the waterfront. Charming communities, other than Kotor, include Perast, Prcanj and Risan which have been noted for their sea-faring and cultural heritage dating from the Illyrian, Roman, Dalmation, Venetian, Napoleonic and Austro-Hungarian empires.

Prcanj, with its beautiful Zupna church - second only in size to the cathedral in Dubrovnik - is just a 5-minute drive away from the apartment (in the opposite direction to Kotor). Stoliv, also a short distance away, offers a small (shingle) beach, tennis courts and other amenities as well as its own charming historic churches and palaces.

The bay also has plenty to offer those who want to be active on holiday – water-skiing, sailing or pleasure boating as well as hilltop walks, rock climbing and hang gliding. The open Adriatic Sea, which offers over 100 sweeping sandy beaches and smaller picturesque coves, is nearby. Within less than half an hour are the beaches of the Lustica peninsula, Tivat and Budva, a lovely walled town with its own beach and marina, while a short drive further along the coast is the famous island resort of Sveti Stefan, frequented by the rich and famous.

While the coastline is stunning, inland it is even more dramatic. Take a short break (one or two days) to explore the best of the mountain ranges, ravines, canyons – the impressive Tara River Canyon is the world’s deepest after the Grand Canyon – gorges, forests, birds and wildlife in the extensive national parks.

There is a wealth of outdoor activities here, including white water rafting and canoeing, hang gliding, paragliding, micro lighting, rock and mountain climbing and mountain biking. Or you can take a trip to the beautiful Skadar Lake to explore the water and bird life. The lake is said to contain nearly 50 types of fish and 280 species of birds – half the total to be found in Europe.

Montenegro is separated from Italy by the narrow Adriatic Sea and the coastal region benefits from a pleasant Mediterranean climate with an average summer temperature of 27°C.

Kotor / Muo area

Muo itself has its own facilities while the bustling bars, cafes and restaurants of Kotor are only a mile away – a walk along the waterfront or a short bus or taxi ride away (taxis being very cheap here).

Kotor is one of the most exquisitely preserved medieval centres in the Mediterranean – often described as a smaller version of the ancient walled city of Dubrovnic. It has a unique atmosphere with narrow cobbled alleyways opening out onto piazzas with historic palaces, churches, galleries and museums, as well as many cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Fresh seafood is amongst the local restaurant specialities.

The old town also has a lovely selection of boutique shops, while cultural events include regular music concerts, film, theatre and fashion festivals, seamen’s processions, and a Grand Summer Carnival. As a university town it is a lively social and cultural centre throughout the year. More information is available here: http://www.tokotor.com/engleski/english.html.

The walk from Muo passes a daily fresh food and antiques market and the Kotor marina with its collection of pleasure boats, yachts and the occasional cruise liner. Boat, bus and trips from Kotor can take you to most destinations in Montenegro.

The 12th century city walls climb 200m up the sheer mountain face and, when lit up at night, provide a stunning back-drop to the town which can be seen from the apartment’s terrace.
