Apartments in Dobroti

Apartments in Dobroti is a one-bedroom apartment on Montenegro's coast, in the village of Dobrota just 2.5 km from the centre of Kotor. It sleeps two guests and has one bedroom with a single bed setup for a couple, plus one bathroom, making it a straightforward base for two people rather than a family or group. The setting suits travellers who want to stay close to Kotor without being in the middle of it: several restaurants are within walking distance, and a regular minibus service runs along the coastal road into the old town, so a car is useful but not essential. The apartment comes with a kitchen, air conditioning, TV and parking, and guests share a garden terrace with the wider property. A private dock sits about 50 metres away, giving direct access to the water of Kotor Bay.

About the area

Dobrota runs for several kilometres along the inner bay north of Kotor, and it shows the bay at its most domestic: a single shore road, gardens dropping to the water, and one stone palace after another built by the captains and shipowners whose brotherhood made this village rich in the eighteenth century. The Baroque church of St Eustace, finished in 1773, still marks the middle of it. Two and a half kilometres from Kotor's centre is close enough for the town and far enough to escape it, and with a minibus every few minutes along the shore, plus a beach, a shop and a stop within about fifty metres, the car can stay parked.

The best approach to Kotor from here is on foot along the water, with the mountain wall rising straight out of the bay beside you and the Old Town appearing at the end of it. Inside the walls are the Romanesque cathedral of St Tryphon, the maritime museum, cats on every doorstep, and the long stepped climb up the fortifications to San Giovanni for the view over the whole fjord-like bay. Swimming in Dobrota happens from private pontoons and concrete terraces into deep, cold, very clear water.
