Mitrovski Apartments and Rooms - Rose

Mitrovski Apartments and Rooms – Rose is a self-catering apartment in a newly built house that sits directly on the sea in the quiet village of Rose, on Montenegro's coast. The apartment measures 35 m² and has one bedroom, one bathroom and its own terrace, with air conditioning and a TV. It sleeps two guests in one bed, making it a straightforward choice for couples or a pair of friends who want a calm base by the water rather than a busy resort. The house stands next to the village fortress, and the property also has two front rooms with sea views. Rose is well placed for travel around the bay: Herceg Novi is 15 minutes away by boat, Budva is 40 km, and the nearest airport, Tivat, is 22 km. Dubrovnik Airport lies 50 km away and Podgorica Airport 75 km.

About the area

Rose has no traffic to speak of, and that single fact shapes a stay here. Cars stop at the edge of the village and the rest is a paved path along the shore, past stone houses, drying nets and a harbour small enough to count the boats in it. This corner sits at the quiet end, up against the old fortress that guarded the mouth of the bay — one of a chain of Austro-Hungarian works built when this narrow channel was the most closely watched water in the Adriatic.

Because Rose stands at the very tip of Luštica, where the bay opens to the sea, the water is noticeably clearer and cooler than in the inner basins, and swimming is off stone and pebble rather than sand. The village's best trick is the boat: Herceg Novi is about fifteen minutes away by sea, which makes an evening on its promenade an easy decision and removes any need for the long drive around the peninsula. By road, Tivat airport is roughly twenty-two kilometres and Budva about forty. Boats also run from the harbour to Žanjice and Mirišta, the beaches on the seaward side, and out to the Blue Cave, whose water turns an improbable colour for an hour either side of midday.
