The casita is a twin bunk bed studio apartment with a kitchenette and separate bathroom with a shower. It also has its own separate garden in front.

At the other end of the garden is the main entrance to the house and the main floor that consists of a very modern kitchen and the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances one would expect as well as an American sized fridge and freezer (with an ice maker), Meile espresso maker, microwave, steamer, dishwasher, and a washer and a dryer, There is an island in the middle with a ceramic hob and lots of extra counter space.

The living room is spacious with striking views of the bay and the majestic mountains. It has a flat screen TV (cable) large couch, sound system and a computer desk area. There is wifi throughout most of the house. From the living room there is access to an elegantly carved small stone balcony: Perfect to sit and watch the world go by.

The stairs off the kitchen lead to the second floor with 3 bedrooms: 3 queen size, a large hall and a bathroom with a bath and European shower. One of the queen size bedrooms is at the back of the house and looks toward the back garden. The other 2 queen size rooms offer exceptional views of the water through the “porthole” windows. All rooms have Dutch doors with hand blown art glass.

The third floor, Master Bedroom, is a queen sized bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a shower. Off the bedroom is a private balcony that offers a stunning vista of the bay, mountains and Prcanj village. It is also host to a small gym area.

Directly across the street is the “ponta” (swimming pier). All pontas (the cement jetties that dot the waterfront) are public and there are 2 big trees for shade and plenty of room to catch some rays. We also provide patio furnature.

Prcanj is a perfect get away spot to either relax on the ponta/jetty reading or swimming or taking a stroll into town to visit the many restaurants, cafes and historical sites. Hop on the bus (just outside our gate and runs every hour) to explore the walled castle city of Kotor (10-15 mins depending on traffic) or, in the opposite direction, to Tivat and the super yacht marina, Porto Montenegro or Tivat's famous waterfront "Pine" (20 -30 mins depending on traffic.)
