Sunrise. View from the bedroom’s window

Living area and bedroom are separable

Spacious and sunny (6 windows), newly and tastefully renovated waterfront apartment. On the first floor of an old stone Venetian noble house built at the end of the 16th C. Furnished to a high standard. Affording breathtaking views over the sea or/and mountains across Kotor fjord, including the famous twin church islets which always feature in pictures of Montenegro. 30 seconds to the sea. Perast, often described as the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the coast of Montenegro, represents the best preserved baroque place in the Adriatic. This unspoilt and peaceful village of fishermen, plenty relaxing for people who live in a large city, is full of history, old palaces and churches from the seafaring days of the Venetian Republic when it was the home of wealthy merchants. Ideal for romantic let for 2, Perast is only a short drive (15 mins) from the medieval walled town of Kotor, the vibrant ancient capital of the Bay with its shops, banks and cash machines, bars, restaurants and nightlife.

Accommodation

 

Notes on accommodation
This apartment (frequently occupied by the owner’s family) may be let to 2 couples or 1 couple with 2 children or 2 single people.
Unlike others we do not request any breakage/damage deposit to our guests. We want you to love our apartment as much as we do. In return, we expect you to treat it as your own.
We fell in love with Perast, and Montenegro generally, and bought this apartment (two years ago) so that we could return to this ‘heaven on earth’ destination, as we suited. We have spent much time, effort and money to restore and bring it up to the British standards. It is our holiday home that we are pleased to share with family or friends... and with you.
