Nested on the idlyic historical waterfront of Lepetane next to the Ferry Line, this traditionally built 200 hundred year old charming cottage bundles up location, view and character. Meter wide stone walls create a naturally cool environment in the summer and retain the heat during the winter months. Hard wood floors cover the entire cottage to match the authentic,cozy, relaxing ambiance. It is nicely furnished and equipped for year around living for 4-5 people, since the air conditioning units act as heating also.
The ground floor is quite well organized in an open plan with a comfortable lounging area.The TV, a small library of different topics and languages and quite a many board and card games are all there to keep you occupied on a rainy day.
The dining area sits 6 people easily and is half way partitioned from our well equipped kitchen so that the cook of the day can join the conversations as well.
The front double bedroom offers the breathtaking views of the Verige Straits; you can lie in the comfortable king size bed and watch the dawn light up the mountains on the other side of the straits. The room has a nice little balcony overlooking the gorgeous view, which is ideal for a tasty breakfast with delicious local "burek" from the nearby pekara/bakeries or a good bottle of local Vrenac wine to enjoy watching the ferry and the boats go by.
The second bedroom has two twin beds and a large window looking out the very charasteristic narrow stepped little street leading up to our private garden.
Both rooms have closets with hangers and an armchair.
The large, spacious bathroom has a shower, toilet and a bidet along with the dishwasher.
The downstairs couch is brand new and it becomes a proper double bed.
We also have an extra fold-up Z bed which can easily fit at the end of the double bed in the front room and work great to sleep a child.
Last but definitely not the least, the terrace....
Oh that terrace! Almost 50 m2 of undivided access to the sun and sea, it also has a shade for hot summer months if you are one of those freckle shy people. There's a raised stone bench with cushions on one side of the terrace, sun loungers and a couple of deck chairs which is great to relax and chill, eat and drink, get a lovely tan, read or write or basicly bask in daydreaming? After all, this is what vacations are for, right? By the way, there's also an extra WC in the terrace that makes things a bit more easier for our beer- loving guests.
The wooden table is big enough for 6-8 people and there's a barbecue, just what you need to grill all the fresh fish you can buy from the shop Monte just around the corner or enjoy the grass-fed, thick and juicy Montenegrin steaks famous for their organic taste.
If you are more on the non-meat side of the culinary scale, no worries, you can still make the best of the grill. Locally grown and sold by individual growers, freshest veggies from the outside day market from Kotor Old town are yours to grab on your way back home after a great day at Kotor and grill them for a tasty dinner.
Guest Access: The cottage is practically on the water, on the main street of Lepetane which is the scenic driving route from Tivat to Kotor. Only a couple of hundred meters after the Ferry Port, you can see the house on your right. The entrance is accessed by a narrow stone stepped path leading up from the road. The first door on your left will lead you into the enclosed terrace and then you'll see the front door of the cottage.
The neighborhood: If you're willing to discover the true spirit and have a genuine feel of this strikingly beautiful tiny country, then Lepetane is your place. Located conveniently on the Verige Straits of the Boka Kotorska (Kotor Bay), the cottage neigbors lovely old stone houses and the Ferry Line to Kamenari at the other side of the fjord. This was the first and the oldest port for all the merchant ships and fishermen returning home from their journeys.
The scenic waterside still hosts fishermen old and young, local and visiting and our next door neighbor Slobodan is one of them.The waterside is also great for sunbathing, swimming, biking or simply idle promenades.
Please note: The ferry's working noise is white noise and background lullalby to most, but if you want absolute silence, you might wanna check elsewhere.
