Nestled in Kotor Municipality, this lovely villa for $254 per night is a great choice for your next vacation.

At Villa Ruza we have combined the benefits of traditional local materials with all the conveniences of modern living. Villa Ruza enjoys the sun all day and guests enjoy the most amazing sunsets every evening. Behind Villa Ruza are the mountains which separate us from the Bay of Kotor. Villa Ruza sits next to the Roman Catholic Church of St Roko. Villa Ruza is about 200 years old and has a completely updated private, secure outside terrace of 35 square meters. The internal floor space is 120 square meters. The terrace has plenty of space and facilities for you to enjoy outdoor living and eating.

The downstairs floor is tiled with the original red and cream tiles which have been in the property for 200 years. The floor was re-laid as part of the renovation. You will see exactly the same type of stone tiles in the old city of Kotor. There are three fully air-conditioned bedrooms. The beds were all handmade and assembled in the rooms. The mattresses are ultra-comfortable and were all new in 2017. • Bedroom #1 has a double bed (200 cms x 200 cms) with sea and mountain views. • Bedroom #2 has a double bed (180 cms wide x 200 cms long) with views of the sea, mountains and church. • Bedroom # 3 has 2 single beds (90 cms wide x 200 cms long) with views of the church.

It is a quiet Konoba (water front restaurant / bar) which is owned by our neighbour Zoran and his family. They are super friendly and specialise in fresh fish dishes. Zoran and his son catch the fish themselves. • Café Giardino will deliver your order to the house if you would prefer to eat at home. • Beautiful Catholic Church of St Roko is our other neighbour. I recommend you look inside. Don Nikola (the resident priest) is very welcoming. The church bells ring between 07:00 and 22:00 daily. On the hour and every half hour. It is all part of the charm of the area. • Convenience Store a 5 minute walk away. • The marina, restaurants and shops of Porto Montenegro are a 15 minute walk along the seafront. • All windows have glass windows and composite shutters so you can control the sunlight and temperature of the house. • Original stone floor which has been cleaned and re-laid for the first time in 200 years. • Exposed original stone interior walls in places. • Reclaimed maritime brass lighting throughout. • Canvass prints of the house prior to the renovation. • New windows and shutters. • Oak wooden floor up the stairs and throughout the three bedrooms. • Handmade solid oak dining table and chairs. • Two matching sofas. • Log burner for the winter. • War Memorial to some fallen partisans from WW2 immediately next door to the left. Villa Ruza has a fenced off child friendly front terrace. We can provide baby gear including highchairs and cot on request. You can swim in the sea right in front of Villa Ruza. Just around the corner is a safe, gently sloping beach. The area is very popular with visiting artists who enjoy painting the sea, sky and mountains. There are plenty of opportunities to sail at Porto Montenegro where they have a fleet of J70’s and Blu 26’s available for rent. I can make all the introductions there. There are numerous local places where you can walk in the hills and mountains. If you like architecture then the ancient venetian city of Kotor is just one local example in the UNESCO protected bay of Kotor.
