One of the best ways to experience the bay! You can arrange to be picked up close to the house for a scenic ride around Kotor Bay, Kotor Old Town and/or Perast.

Local Village Life: Prčanj features fantastic waterfront restaurants, a small grocery market, and a bakery all within short walking distance along the coastal road.

— Waterfront Road Caution: While our location is idyllic and perfect for all generations (we comfortably host guests from ages 2 to 80+), the coastal road in front of the villa can get busy during peak summer season. Please exercise caution when crossing to the jetty, especially with toddlers and young children.

— Expand Your Group: If you are travelling with a larger group and need extra space, we also rent out that ground-floor unit. It is a premium 1-bedroom space that sleeps 2 adults. You can find it by searching for: "Upscale Waterfront 300yo Stone Apt near Kotor".

With high-speed Wi-Fi, climate control, and a serene waterfront backdrop, our place is an ideal workspace.

Extended Stay Discounts: We welcome long-term rentals and offer attractive discounted rates during the shoulder and off-season months. Please reach out directly to discuss extended stays.

Wow is an understatement! This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 8 adults and 2 children. The view of Kotor Bay from the front windows was stunning and the neighborhood people were very friendly. We enjoyed drinking coffee by the water each morning and swimming in the afternoon. Our evenings were spent visiting with each other around the back garden patio table. The house is well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the A/C was cool. Communication was very easy and the manager Nadja was wonderful! We will definitely be back soon!

We arrived for our second visit to Montenegro and the quiet and charming seaside town of Prcanj by winding along a picturesque ocean road, a very convenient 15 minutes to the Old Town and Castle.This gorgeous waterfront Historic stone house is a completely renovated family home with stunning oceanfront views over the bay of Kotor .Our favourite afternoon haunt ? the stone waterfront patio in the morning for swimming , afternoon/eve with a glass of chilled wine, watching the sun go down over the bay. High end appliances, all amenities you could want with clean with comfortable beds . There is a really lovely back grape vine covered large garden patio with private casita , the perfect place for an adult or teen that wants extra privacy within hailing distance of the main kitchen . The lush garden terrace is the perfect place for long lunches before a siesta in the shade . We enjoyed swimming off the oceanside punta patio with loungers, umbrella and a fresh water shower .We could have stayed here and never left , but it is also a great location for day trips to local parks, kayaking and neighbouring towns etc. The castle courtyards and weekend market was a delight for the senses .Thank you for now our second visit !Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.
