Location:

Villa Olivera is ideally situated in the charming coastal village of Ljuta on the shores of the sparkling Bay of Kotor. The villa is a hidden gem on Montenegro’s stunning Adriatic coastline, boasting direct access to the bay’s turquoise waters and close proximity to the vibrant town of Kotor whilst retaining the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

Nearby Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This medieval town is the perfect place for those in search of radiant natural beauty as well as a destination with a rich cultural identity. Kotor’s heritage has been influenced by the warm Mediterranean climate and the historical significance of the Illyrian, Roman, and Ottoman empires, allowing visitors to experience an intriguing blend of Balkan and Mediterranean culture.

For water sports enthusiasts, the Bay of Kotor offers a treasure trove of coastal adventures, with activities such as paddleboarding, sea kayaking and jet skiing all available. The majestic mountains provide opportunities for hiking and trekking at any time of year, with trails affording sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea. Popular with visitors and locals alike, the steep trail to the Fortress of San Giovanni is an excellent option for keen hikers. This fourteenth-century castle is located on a hill overlooking the town. The hike is challenging but highly enjoyable, rewarding visitors with spectacular bay views.

After a sunny afternoon hike, make your way towards Kotor’s old town for a leisurely evening meal. Montenegro’s cuisine combines Mediterranean and Balkan flavours, providing visitors with exquisite delicacies. Black risotto and Montenegrin buzara are two seafood specialities, while Rakija, a strong fruit brandy, is the country’s national drink. Don’t forget to sample a glass of excellent Montenegrin wine – there are several wineries in the countryside offering intimate tours and tastings.

Spend a morning wandering the labyrinthine streets of Kotor’s old town, where you can admire the traditional Montenegrin houses and historic landmarks dotted along narrow cobblestone streets. Walking along the town’s walls, constructed during the Venetian period, is a great way to get to know Kotor before a visit to the iconic St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and the old clock tower on the Square of Arms. The town is known for its lively street culture, with small music festivals, parades and art events taking place throughout the year.

Of course, you can always escape to the beach whenever you feel the need for a refreshing swim in the sea or a moment of complete relaxation in the sunshine. The Bay of Kotor is home to a number of secluded, sandy coves where you can swim in crystal-clear waters whilst admiring the lush green mountains. Perast Beach is a pebbly beach with crystalline waters, only a ten-minute drive from Ljuta. The beach at Kostanjica is roughly twenty minutes away by car, offering secluded shores where the citrussy scent of the surrounding laurel trees lingers in the air. Later, make your way home to Villa Olivera in time for a sunset swim in your private pool before sipping a glass of wine under the stars.
