The two-storey family villa was built in 1975 and is located in a small hillside village in the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), the southern-most fjord in Europe. The villa has a lovely spacious mature front garden with palm, pine and orange trees as well as colourful oleanders and various Mediterranean bushes and flowers. The garden is perfect for sunbathing (sunbeds are provided) or for installing inflatable paddling-pools for children! The house also has a large terrace, which overlooks the garden and offers stunning views of the Bay of Kotor and the surrounding mountains. The ground floor of the villa is open plan with a kitchen, dining and living area. The bathroom is also located on the ground floor. The first floor has 3 bedrooms, two of which face the back garden and the mountain while the largest bedroom has a balcony and overlooks the front garden and the sea.

Notes on accommodation
The house and the garden are perfect for family with children (I used to love spending my summers there when I was a child and now my children love it too!), but there are several staircases in and around the house so one has to be careful with very young children. During the summer months, Montenegro is affected by severe water shortage. The property is not affected by this because it has its' own water reservoir and a fully automatic pump. The property is equipped for winter rentals with airconditioning (heating) and electric radiators.

Outside
The house is surrounded by a spacious mature front garden as well as a fruit/vegetable garden (presently a bit neglected!)at the back. There is no fence between our garden and our neighbours' (my aunt's) garden and there is a paved courtyard with orange trees in between the 2 houses. (Our guests are not expected to use the neighbours' garden and vice versa). The terrace at the front of the house offers stunning views and is perfect for dining 'al fresco'. Outdoor furniture (tables, chairs and sunbeds) is provided.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is a 3 minute walk downhill from the house. This pebbly beach has a gentle slope which is very popular with children and good for snorkeling! Some guests prefer to use the swimming pool at Hotel Splendido (next to the beach) - the hotel charges 5 euros per person per day (children go free) and the charge includes sunbeds and parasols. Sandy beaches ‘Plavi Horizonti’, ‘Jaz’, ‘Milocer’, ‘Przno’ and ‘Trsteno’ are all half an hour to one hour drive away.

The house is easily accessible from international airports at Tivat (15 minute drive) and Dubrovnik (about 2 hours drive, including a ferry crossing).Airport transfer can be arranged (Dubrovnik: 60 euros; Tivat: 15 euros).

Further details
Prcanj is a quiet village located near Kotor (formerly Cattaro), the oldest and most spectacular town in Montenegro. Kotor is a medieval, walled town, first colonized by Greeks in the 3rd cent. BC and was later part of the Roman and Byzantine empires, before being passed to Austria in 1797, and then to Montenegro. Today, the town offers restaurants, cafés, banks and cash machines, market (fresh fish, fruit, vegetables), shops and supermarkets in an unrivalled setting. There is a traditional restaurant/guesthouse ‘Bokeljski Dvori’ a two minute walk away from the house, offering excellent local cuisine at reasonable prices. The four-star hotel ‘Splendido’ is next to the beach and has an attractive pool-side bar and a restaurant.
