Popović Apartments Dobrota - Kotor

Popović Apartments Dobrota sits in the seaside village of Dobrota, about 2 km from Kotor's old town and just 20 metres from the water. This listing is a one-bedroom apartment sleeping 2 guests, with a single double bed, one bathroom and roughly 38 m² of space arranged as a bedroom, a hallway with wardrobe, a living room combining kitchen and dining area, and a private terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and practical extras include ADSL internet, satellite TV, a washing machine, iron and hair dryer, plus a 24-hour water supply and guaranteed parking — useful along Dobrota's narrow coastal road. The layout suits a couple who want a quiet base on the Bay of Kotor within easy walking or short driving distance of the old town's restaurants, ferry connections and coastal path. Larger apartments in Dobrota are also available from the same owners.

About the area

The captains of Dobrota made their money at sea. Through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries they sailed the Adriatic and well beyond it, and they spent the proceeds at home, which is why a village with no square and no centre has a shoreline lined with baroque houses, private chapels and stone jetties. Two large churches, Saint Eustace and Saint Matthew, hold the silver, vestments and fine needle lace that came out of that period; the lace worked by the captains' wives is still a local point of pride.

All of it is arranged along a single shore road that doubles as the promenade, so the history is simply what you walk past. The sea is a few steps away, entered from platforms and old mooring steps rather than beaches, and the water stays clear because the bay barely moves. Kotor's walls are about two kilometres south, a flat and pleasant half-hour walk past cafés, small shops and boat sheds. The same road heads north towards Ljuta and Perast if you would rather go the other way.
