Villa Vujovic Kostanjica

Villa Vujović sits directly on the Bay of Kotor in Kostanjica, part of the Boka Gardens resort on Montenegro's coast. This compact villa is arranged for two guests, with one bedroom, one bed and one bathroom — a straightforward fit for a couple or a solo traveller who wants space to spread out without paying for rooms they won't use. The villa faces the water toward medieval Perast and the islands of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks (Škrpjela), and the accommodation includes a sea view, an equipped kitchen, dining and living areas, free WiFi and satellite TV. Around it, the resort adds tennis courts, shops, car rental, a children's pool, a beach with loungers, a beach bar, and a Mediterranean restaurant looking out over the islands. Kotor's old town and the wider Boka bay are an easy drive along the coastal road.

About the area

Directly across the water from Perast, Kostanjica lines the western shore of the inner bay, and the view is the reason people stay. Two islets sit in the channel in front of you: Sveti Đorđe with its cypresses and Benedictine graveyard, and the man-made Gospa od Škrpjela, built up over centuries on a reef by boatmen dropping stones, its church lined with silver votive plaques and Tripo Kokolja's paintings. Boats cross to the islets through the summer, and the Verige strait, the narrowest point of Boka and once closed with chains against invaders, lies just around the shoreline.

The settlement itself is a quiet strip of houses, gardens and waterfront terraces along the coastal road, olive and pomegranate in the yards, the mountain rising steeply behind. Swimming is off pebble and concrete shore into water that stays clear and cool. Perast, minutes away, is a single row of baroque palaces built by sea captains and worth an evening on foot; Kotor's Old Town is a short drive around the head of the bay, Herceg Novi rather further the other way. Wooden boats run day trips from this shore to the Blue Cave, Mamula and the outer coast, and the road inland climbs to Risan and its Roman mosaics.
