Casa Jean sits amongst a collection of villas and is encircled by emerald fields of shrubbery and trees, so you have an uninhibited level of privacy and serenity! Situated on the southwestern coast, you have a selection of seaside spots to see and enjoy and proximity to some of the finest towns across the country!

About the Region & Getting There
About the Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, or Boka, has been a World Heritage Site since 1979, so be assured of its captivating scenery that includes; a Venetian old town, a Fortress, Roman Mosaics, churches and a glistening cove that all culminate to provide guests with an exceptional holiday destination.
Sailing through the fjord you will notice the Orjen Mountains along the west, and the Lovćen Mountain range curling around the east, which outline this spellbinding landscape. As you enter through the bay you are greeted by a man-made islet that is home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church and a museum. This is the first of many reminders that you are about to reach a region of Montenegro that is famed for its natural scenery and poignant architecture.
The Bay of Kotor is made up of four cornerstones - Lastva, Morinj, Stoliv and the most renowned Tivat. Within these villages you are able to find iconic landmarks such as St Petka Church and St Mary’s Church, or for something a little less pious; simply enjoy Tivat Marina and Gornji Stoliv’s Olive grove & Fig orchard.
Travel inland and strap on a pair of hiking boots as you explore Lovcen National Park. Although it is about an hours drive from the Bay, it really is worth the day trip! Whether you’re travelling with a Botanists, Ecologist, Entomologist or Zoologist; they will be pleased to know that there’s an immeasurable number of species that include birds, insects, bears, wolves and some breath-taking flora & fauna.
We urge holidaymakers to make the most of Kodor! This charming town has everything you need to forget the day-to-day tribulations of home life. Not only does this small medieval refuge have a host of cafes & restaurants, but there are some must see attractions like the Maritime Museum, the Cats Museum of Kotor, Cats of Kotor Shop and St. John’s Hill. The perfect retreat for a family in need of sun, sea & sentiment.

The villa houses a fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for family members with strict dietary needs or diets and is available to save the day or night when it's too inconvenient to leave the villa!

Alongside terraces and the patio areas for leisure outside, the villa includes an indoor swimming pool, where you can swim and splash whenever you feel to and a sauna!
Plavi Horizonti Beach sits just a five-minute drive from the villa and you're in luck as it is one of the best family-orientated beaches across the region, if not the country! Kids can dig, run and frolic on the sandy shores, whilst adults and those who wish to kick-back can hire sun-beds and parasols! Nearby, restaurants and bars ensure you can enjoy meals or simply buy sweets, treats, snacks and drinks to accompany the joy on the seaside! The waters are blue and multi-coloured and shallow and gentle enough for the smallest kids and non-swimmers! The beach even offers a playground, so your kids can have fun with others and hopefully make some new friends!
If your kids want a more glamorous style of holiday, Porto Montenegro, the only Platinum-rated marina in the world, is home to an array of super-yachts and settings to match!
