Palazzo Radomiri - Dobrota

Palazzo Radomiri is a small historic hotel in Dobrota, on the shore of the Bay of Kotor. The complex dates to the late 17th century and is protected as an architectural monument, built around a grand captain's mansion with distinctive Venetian features and now spanning three buildings. This listing is a one-bedroom room for two guests, with one bed and a private bathroom — a straightforward fit for couples or a pair of friends who want a quiet coastal base rather than a large apartment. Guests have access to the hotel's restaurant, fitness studio, beachfront gardens, boathouse, pool with Jacuzzi, and on-site parking. The setting suits both slow days by the water and days out: medieval Kotor and its old town are a short trip along the bay, and hiking trails above the shoreline are close at hand. A good choice for travellers who want heritage architecture and waterfront calm in equal measure.

About the area

This length of Dobrota, some four kilometres north of Kotor's walls, is where the bay's captains built. The palace at its centre dates from the turn of the eighteenth century, and the three carved Atlas figures holding up its balcony came from the same hand that worked on the altar of Our Lady of the Rocks off Perast. The whole shore reads that way — grand façades, family chapels, stone piers, and steep ground rising behind, which is why stairs are unavoidable anywhere in this village.

The waterfront path in front is the best of Dobrota: long, flat, and used by everyone for running, cycling and evening walks, with places to swim off the stone the whole way along. Kotor is near enough to reach on foot yet far enough that the cruise-ship hours never quite arrive; inside the walls are the cathedral, the museums and the stairway to San Giovanni fortress. The mountains behind offer harder walking, including the old mule track over the ridge to Njeguši, and the road north follows the bay to Perast and its islet churches. Dubrovnik is roughly an hour up the coast if you want a day across the border.
