Hotel Casa del Mare - Amfora

Hotel Casa del Mare – Amfora sits on the waterfront in Orahovac, a working fishing village a few kilometres along the shore from the medieval town of Kotor. This room sleeps 2 guests, with one bedroom, one bed and one private bathroom, making it a straightforward choice for couples or solo travellers wanting a quiet base in the Bay of Kotor. The property comprises ten spacious apartments designed in keeping with their surroundings, each with a balcony looking out over the sea or the steep mountains that ring the bay. On site, Restaurant Amfora spreads across cascading terraces at the water's edge, serving Mediterranean and traditional Montenegrin dishes built on old family recipes and fresh local ingredients, alongside regional and international wines. A small wellness centre offers a sauna and jacuzzi, and a pebble beach lies just steps from the door. Evenings here are known for their sunsets.

About the area

Orahovac is a fishing hamlet on the outer curve of the bay between Dobrota and Perast, a handful of stone houses on the water with olive terraces and cypresses climbing behind them. There is no resort infrastructure here, and that is the point: the shore is pebble and rock, the water in this stretch of Boka is among the clearest anywhere in the bay, and mornings belong to the small boats tending the mussel and oyster lines strung out across the surface. Those mussels reach the table the same day, usually in buzara with wine and garlic.

Perast lies a few minutes further along the shore road — a single street of baroque palaces built by captains who served the Venetian and Russian fleets, with boats leaving constantly for the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks. In the other direction the road runs into Kotor in about a quarter of an hour, for the Old Town, the cathedral and the fortress climb. What Orahovac gives you between those excursions is silence: cicadas, the slap of water on stone, and enough darkness at night to see the stars come out over the ridge.
