Overview
Poised on the edge of the Bay of Kotor, Villa Nikola is a superb, modern villa with outstanding views across the dramatic scenery of the Bay. The bright blue waters of the Adriatic stand out vividly against a backdrop of rugged black mountains, with a compelling mix of medieval charm, Venetian architecture, old-town style, local eateries, and pretty water side promenades, making this remarkable area of Montenegro one of our favourite places to visit.
This charming stone villa speaks to traditional Mediterranean style architecture, with modern luxuries embedded into the old style of building. Glass windows and doors have been elegantly slotted into thick stone walls, capturing the beautiful scenery, and drawing that tranquil atmosphere within the villa walls. Located a mere five metres from the seafront, the views are undisturbed, so whether you are gazing through one of the windows, or are outside with the sounds of the water, the sense of freedom and relaxation is amazing.
Tastefully decorated, guests will be instantly impressed by the classy furniture, unique art pieces and carefully thought-out lighting. Each room you wonder into offers a new delight, with three, en-suite bedrooms all designed to offer a view over the bay, so you can wake up, draw open the shutters and immerse yourself in the lovely views. The ground floor bedrooms even offer their own intimate gardens.
There is an open plan kitchen and dining room, with sliding glass doors that guide you out towards the pool and terrace. The living room is unique, with stunning lights suspended from the high ceilings and a modern floating fireplace that feels like a sculpture in the room. Contemporary in its design, there is still an air of home and comfort in this bright room, with large sofas that you can sink into and picture frame windows reminding you of your setting.
Outside is perhaps the real star feature of Villa Nikola. It’s private and secluded swimming pool feels like a refuge from day-to-day life. On hot summer days you can rest by the pool, dangling your legs into the water to keep you cool. A Mediterranean garden grows around the terrace, immaculately maintained throughout the year.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa NikolaVilla Nikola sits in a privileged location, just five metres from the waterfront in the Bay of Kotor. Located in Tivat’s most elite neighbourhood, just a short walk from the renowned resort and yacht port Porto Montenegro, so you can sit out front of the villa watching luxury yachts pass by or walk to the port head out onto the water yourself.
The Bay of Kotor offers a captivating mix of medieval charm, Venetian architecture, old-town style, local eateries, and pretty water side promenades. Steeped with history and old-world charm, you can explore a new place each day, soaking in the remarkable blend of natural wonders and manmade curiosities.
Tivat itself has a modern and glamorous feel to it. You can reach the polished restaurants and high-end shops within a short stroll of Villa Nikola, joining the yachters and other tourists for delicious meals and a cocktail or two in this beautiful town. Some of the Montenegrin classics that we recommend trying are Punjene Paprike - stuffed peppers, or Gulaš - a hearty stew served with mashed potato. Borek, a flaky savory pastry is beloved everyone that tries it and it can be found in the bakeries all over town.
The bright blue water of the Bay sits in contrast to the dramatic scenery of Mount Vrmac that overlooks Tivat. For outdoor lovers, the mountain provides a place for hiking, mountain biking and extreme canyon adventures, with views stretching across the Bay and the land! Sticking closer to the water, one of the top activities in this area is a boat trip to the Blue Cave. This vast rock cave can only be reached by water, with its iridescent blue water making popular for boat tours, kayaking and snorkelling. Mamula, a fortified island is another great stop on a boat trip, famed for its stunning sunsets.
The Bay of Kotor is also home to the town of Kotor itself, which has been awarded UNESCO world heritage status. Reached easily in a twenty-minute drive, the cobblestone streets, historic churches and dramatic fortresses of the Old Town are magical and well worth exploring.

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.

With three double bedrooms, a family of six can come together and enjoy some quality time away in this luxurious space. Days spent soaking in the sunshine, revelling in the tranquil garden and making the most of every minute in this gorgeous location.
Villa Nikola is a brilliant choice for families with children, designed with plenty of space for families to spread out and relax. From the living room, kids can curl up by the window, watching luxury yachts pass by and waving to their sailors!
Outside, the pool and garden feel private and secluded, so you can enjoy peace and privacy with your family. There are several steps and there is no fence around the water, so young children will need to be supervised. But kids are sure to love the private pool, playing and splashing in the water all day long. If you can ever manage to drag them away from the poolside, the villa is located directly on the sea, so you can venture to one of the many local beaches, diving in and out of the waves and building sandcastles through the afternoon.
The privileged town of Tivat, is just a ten-minute stroll along the waterfront. From the port, kids can pick out their favourite among the array of luxury yachts, before heading out on a boat trip to explore the water themselves! Snorkelling is a must for our young guests, with several spots around the Bay of Kotor and along the Adriatic coast. The Blue Cave is a favourite, famed for its iridescent blue water, which makes it an essential stop for boat tours, kayaking and snorkelling.
In Tivat, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from, many of which are extremely family-friendly, so you can expect a big welcome! From the menus, we recommend they try some of the Montenegrin classics such as Punjene Paprike - stuffed peppers, or Gulaš - a hearty stew served with mashed potato. Borek, a flaky savory pastry is beloved by kids of all ages and it can be found in the famous bakeries all over town.
