Villa Nikola

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.
