Family Apartments - Žabljak

Family Apartments sits in Žabljak, Montenegro's highest town and the gateway to the country's northern mountains. This apartment suits a couple or a solo traveller: one bedroom with a single bed, one bathroom, and space for two guests. The living room and bedroom are modern in design, with a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable bathroom, cable television, and central heating for the cold Durmitor winters. Windows take in panoramic views over the surrounding landscape. The location is the practical draw — 200m from the bus station and the town centre, and just 30m from the city ski slope and the well-known "Javorovača" restaurant. As part of city zone I, everything else you might need falls within 400m: restaurants, cafés, shops and markets, the health centre and pharmacy, post office, banks, police station, and the tourist information centre. Quiet, homely, and easy to settle into.

About the area

Very few mountain towns let you step from the door onto a ski slope, but Žabljak's Javorovača run reaches the edge of the built-up area and this part of town sits right against it. In winter that means children can ski within sight of the windows and the day does not depend on a drive or a lift queue; in summer the same slope is a meadow crossed by walkers heading out onto the plateau. The centre and the bus station are two hundred metres off, and everything a stay needs — shops, restaurants, pharmacy, health centre, post office, banks and the tourist information point — falls inside a four-hundred-metre circle.

Durmitor National Park begins where the streets stop. Crno jezero is a couple of kilometres west and the flat loop around its shore takes about an hour, easy enough with small children; the Savin Kuk ski centre, whose chairlift runs in summer as well, is a similar distance. The plateau's pace changes sharply with the calendar — snow and ski buses from December, wildflower meadows and rafting trips down the Tara from June, and mushroom and blueberry picking through a cool, clear September.
