Owner profile
About the owner
We live in Scotland and are semi-retired from university teaching. We bought the property to make it into a family holiday home.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We wanted a family holiday home with spectacular views, idyllic weather but also all the comforts of home and more. Montenegro is up and coming as a holiday destination, with a fabulous coastline, lovely beaches and dramatic mountains. Though we did not know it at the time, it featured in the TV programme 'Fly to Buy'. It was the choice of the couple in the programme but fortunately for us they did not manage to buy it! Another reason for choosing Montenegro was the fact that its currency is the euro.
Unique benefits of the property
The newly built villa has a magnificent setting looking down the spectacular fjord of Boka Kotorska and the medieval town of Kotor, a World Heritage Site. The house, pool and garden were designed to take full advantage of the setting. It is 4.5 kms away from the bustling open air market and restaurants in Kotor, 8kms from the Med's newest marina at Tivat and 20 minutes by car from the beaches on the Lustica peninsula. Because the villa is about 450 metres up on the hillside above Kotor, it gets what breeze there is in the hottest months and fewer mosquitoes.
