Matković Apartments

Matković Apartments sits directly on the seashore in Dobrota, a quiet stretch of coastline just north of Kotor's old town, on one of the world's most beautiful bays. This apartment suits couples or solo travellers: it sleeps 2 guests, with 1 bedroom, 1 bed and 1 bathroom, set within a 45 m² layout that also includes a living room and a kitchen. The setting is peaceful and relaxing, and the beach is just a few steps away, with free sun loungers and parasols for guests. Inside, the apartment is air-conditioned and has an LCD TV in each room, plus a 24-hour water supply. Parking is available, and outdoor facilities include a grill and an outdoor shower — useful after a morning swim. Kotor's fortified old town and the wider Bay of Kotor coastline are within easy reach along the shore road. Rates start from 143 EUR per night.

About the area

Right on the water in Dobrota's Kriva ulica, the day organises itself around the shoreline. There is both concrete and a pocket of pebble to swim from within a few steps, loungers and shade nearby, and the bay is sheltered enough that even small children can get in and out safely — no waves, no undertow, just deep clear water once you are past the ladder. Kayaks and paddleboards are easy to hire along this shore, and the coastline in either direction is made for them.

Beyond swimming, the shore road is the neighbourhood's spine: flat, walkable, good on a bike, lined with captains' houses and small chapels, and running the whole length of the village. Kotor's Old Town is a couple of kilometres south — walk in during the cool of the evening for the cathedral, the lit walls and ice cream on the squares, or drive in for the morning market by the Sea Gate. North, the road curves past Orahovac to Perast and the boats out to Our Lady of the Rocks. Grilling on the terrace while the mountain shadow crosses the water is a perfectly good alternative to going anywhere at all.
