Hotel Bokeljski Dvori

Hotel Bokeljski Dvori is a small family-run hotel in Prčanj, on Montenegro's Bay of Kotor coast. It sits directly on the coastal road linking Kotor and Tivat, with a 200m beach in front and a marina next door — a practical base for exploring the bay by car or boat while staying outside the crowds of Kotor's old town. The hotel has been welcoming guests for 35 years and keeps to a traditional style of hospitality across its 10 rooms. This particular room sleeps 2 guests and has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and 1 bed, making it well suited to couples or a pair of friends travelling the coast. Beyond the room, guests have the use of the hotel's several terraces and its restaurant, which has built a local reputation for regional cooking and regularly hosts events and celebrations.

About the area

Glavati lies at the Kotor end of Prčanj, on the coastal road that traces the western shore between Kotor and Tivat with the green wall of Vrmac at its back. Prčanj was a captains' village: for two centuries its shipowners ran one of the Adriatic's important merchant fleets, and the money came home as palaces, chapels and stone terraces that still line the waterfront in an almost unbroken ribbon. The set piece is the Church of the Birth of Our Lady, built of pale Korčula stone and reached by a long ceremonial staircase — the largest church in the Bay of Kotor, and worth the climb for the view alone. Below it, a two-hundred-metre beach and a small marina where yachts tie up for the night give the shore its rhythm.

The village has long had a reputation for its air. Sheltered from the open sea, warmed by the water and shaded by the ridge, this pocket of the bay was recommended for respiratory recovery well before it was recommended for holidays, and the climate still makes for unusually mild evenings on a terrace. Kotor's Old Town is roughly three kilometres away, close enough to walk or cycle in for dinner; Tivat airport is about eleven, and the Lepetane–Kamenari ferry, the short cut to Herceg Novi and the road north, about eight.
