The detail

Villa Branko is nestled in the historical heart of the Bay of Kotor, home to the UNESCO world heritage town of Kotor. The old town is within walking distance while a short drive will take guests to the rest of the bay. Set behind the dwelling, guests can access nature trails into the mountains, from which they will be able to enjoy spectacular views as far as the Tivat region. The ‘Ladder of Kotor’ is one of the best known trails for walkers in the region.

With the beaches and town centre all within a few minutes drive, this home offers a hassle free base from which to slow the pace and escape the crowds.

The Bay of Kotor offers a compelling mix of medieval charm, Venetian architecture, old-town style, local eateries and pretty water side promenades, leaving last memories in an area steeped with history and old-world charm. The Old Town offers guests a little window into the original way of life with narrow cobbled lanes.

Close by Perast is a must-see, offering preserved baroque stone palaces, its notably high bell tower and postcard pretty squares. Its elegant water front offers a graceful promenade setting, whilst at Perast’s centre is a palm lined square facing St. Nicholas Church. Boating and boat trips are part of the local way of life, while the two mysteriously picturesque islands are a must-visit when in the Bay of Kotor. St George, (home to a Benedictine abbey) and Our Lady of the Rocks (the only man-made island in the Adriatic dating from 1452) are laden with history and local flavour.

Discovering this stunning bay will see history lovers in their element - it is dotted with atmospheric medieval towns (remnants from its Venetian era), island monasteries, cobbled lanes and pretty waterfront restaurants. UNESCO-listed since 1979, the Bay of Kotor is one of the Adriatic’s hidden gems.
