Velović Accommodation

Velović Accommodation is a 50-square-metre apartment in Herceg Novi, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. The layout suits two guests: one bedroom with sleeping space for a pair, one bathroom, and a separate living area with seating that keeps daytime and sleeping space distinct. A kitchen and dining area let you shop at local markets and eat in, while air conditioning, a TV and a refrigerator cover the practical side of a longer stay. The terrace faces the sea, and the property has an uninterrupted water supply. With a compact single-bedroom footprint rather than a large family unit, it works best for couples, solo travellers wanting extra room, or two friends using Herceg Novi as a coastal base. Availability and nightly rates are confirmed directly with the host at the time of booking.

About the area

Njegoševa runs along the slope above Herceg Novi's waterfront, which is why the terraces here look out over the bay and across to the hills of the Luštica peninsula. It is an ordinary town street rather than a resort one: neighbours' gardens of figs, lemons and oleander, a corner shop, cars parked at improbable angles, and a set of steps somewhere near every house leading down to the coast road and the promenade below.

That short walk down is what you will do most often. Šetalište Pet Danica gives access to bathing platforms and small beaches for kilometres in both directions, and the town's green market, best visited early for figs, tomatoes, hinterland cheese and whatever came off the boats, sits near the bus station a few minutes west. Beyond it the old town begins, all stairs, stone and small squares, with Forte Mare on the shoreline and the summer stage at Kanli Kula above. The climate does the rest: the mimosa flowers in February and gets its own festival, the swimming season stretches from May into October, and the subtropical planting that sailors brought home over the centuries keeps these streets green when the rest of the coast has burned dry.
