About the area

This part of Savina sits close enough to the water that you hear it: about a hundred metres of gardens and steps separate the house from a chain of small concrete and pebble bathing spots beneath the pines. Savina Monastery is a two-minute climb inland, and its shaded grounds, with cypresses, an old olive grove and the little seventeenth-century church, are the standard early-evening walk for people staying on this side of Herceg Novi.

Eating here is straightforward and local: grilled fish and squid, mussels from the bay done in buzara, pršut and cheese from the hinterland, and a wine list that rarely strays far from Vranac and Krstač. From the shore below, boat taxis run in summer around the Luštica peninsula to Rose and Žanjić, and the same water draws divers because of the wrecks and drop-offs near the bay entrance. Walkers head the opposite way, up the slope behind town toward the Orjen foothills, where the temperature falls noticeably and maquis gives way to pine. Herceg Novi's old town, its green market and its bus connections are a short walk or a two-minute drive west, and Tivat airport is around twenty-five kilometres away by road, which makes late arrivals painless.
