Beautiful Views over Kotor Bay
Apartment is up a steep hill which has to be negotiated in first gear, but after a couple of goes you get used to it (and the very poor Montenegran drivers). The apartment is light and airy, with lovely views over the Bay of Kotor. Easy access to all the beaches, towns and other facilities. Plenty of cafes and restaurants within walking distance, just ask for an English menu at any of them. Several little supermarkets and a great bakers. All the facilities in the apartment are good, we took the 2 little beach chairs and an umbrella out in the car but didn't need them. Lots of places just at the bottom of the hill for swimming/sunbathing.
Our only (very slight) criticism is that the linen and towels are 'tired' and we were given an empty duvet cover to sleep under instead of a sheet which didn't cover all of the vital bits, a sheet would have been nice. We only used the air conditioning once, but it is there, there is also good wifi but again we only used it occasionally. The film library is comprehensive with plenty for adults and children alike, but we preferred to sit on the balcony and watch the cruise ships come and go. We didn't use the pool, but it was clean and tidy. Best restaurant by far was the Galeon, just before you come into Kotor Old Town take turning on the left, after the roundabout at the supermarket. You don't have to spend a fortune and they have a good menu of meat, fish, etc. We went there for a birthday celebration. A nice place to spend the day is the Hotel Splendido just up the road, you can use their facilities for 17 euros a day each and they supply towels.
To register for your residency fee, go down the hill, turn left, and you'll come to the building on the left, there's a sign outside. A bit further on, on the same side, is the bakers.We collected a car at Podgorica airport, be careful, the driving is very poor, and they will expect you to just get out of the way!! I found the best way to deal with it was to just stop, and let them do the avoidance! Try to book an older car so that you're not worrying about scratches or dents! Taxis to Kotor are cheap (around 5 euros), and the bus is 1 euro and stops outside the minimarket at the bottom of the hill. Plenty of leaflets and brochures in the apartment. we particularly enjoyed the river rafting and the boat trip on Lake Skadar. Overall, a beautiful place to stay, and I would thoroughly recommend it for adults only or families.
