Vuković Apartments - Savina

Vuković Apartments – Savina is a one-bedroom apartment in Herceg Novi, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast. It sits in the Savina area, between the Meljine road and the Pet Danica seaside promenade and beach, within reach of the Old Town. The layout suits a couple or a solo traveller: one bedroom with a single bed setup for two guests, one bathroom, a large living room with a dining area, and a separate kitchen. An 8 m² terrace faces southwest toward the sea, making it a practical spot for late-afternoon meals or a quiet evening outdoors. The building has a guaranteed water supply throughout the day, which is worth noting during the busy summer months on this stretch of coast. Rates start from 47 EUR per night. Guests staying here are placed between the water and the town rather than in either one, an easy base for beach days and walks into the historic centre.

About the area

Between the Meljine road and the seafront, Savina is a belt of villas in gardens — cypress, pine, olive and oleander on a slope dropping steadily to the promenade. It is the greenest part of Herceg Novi and among the most sheltered, and the way down to the water takes a couple of minutes through lanes and steps rather than traffic. The Savina monastery, with its two churches and old cypresses, stands just above, and its wine and honey are sold at the gate.

Eastwards the coast continues to Meljine, a small settlement with barracks and hospital buildings left from the years when the Austro-Hungarian navy fortified the bay, and beyond it the road curls towards Kamenari and the ferry crossing the Verige strait to Tivat and Kotor. Westwards the promenade delivers you to the Old Town in about a quarter of an hour, ending under Forte Mare and the stone gates. Between the two, swimming is from small beaches and concrete platforms into deep, clear water, and the konobas along the shore keep to fish, mussels and whatever the local gardens have produced.
