About this property

Tranquillity & comfort - spacious studio & terrace, relax under the vine canopy.

Tranquility for the soul, peace of mind, safety in our home, and outside, we all need it; the worldwide Covid19 situation has changed our life. The worry, the concern what next, is with us every day. Beautiful Montenegro is slowly easing back into life, but we have observed the Government is keeping a watchful eye on everything and it is done in a controlled way.
EcoHouse Risan Studio is a holiday home for our guests, we would like to assure you, it is clean and it is and will be constantly disinfected to be safe there. We have added extra towels for use, cleaning material is available.
Relax in peace and privacy, gaze up at the mountains, minutes from the seaside town of Risan, & listen to the magical nightingales. The spacious studio and secluded south-facing terrace is shaded by lush vines, has its own outdoor BBQ and spa-shower, free WiFi, air-con and satellite TV, and all modern home comforts. The Eco-House Studio peacefully nestles in leafy unspoiled Risan, on the beautiful seaside Bay of Kotor and embraced by the majestic mountains.
The apartment is fully equipped to a high standard, with a brand-new kitchen, ideal for a couple, and also has a sofa bed for a third person or 2 children. In addition to the outdoor BBQ kitchen and spa-shower, inside the Studio is a shower bathroom, fully equipped kitchen with large fridge/freezer, clothes washing machine, free satellite TV and free wifi. Eco-House Studio is 50m above sea level on the quiet hillside 5-10 minutes walk out of Risan town. The studio measures 30m square and the private spacious terrace is 35m square.

Guest access
The apartment is completely separate from the main house, with secure gated access by steps from the road which also lead to Eco House, home of your hosts. Private off road parking is immediately outside. The hosts' wide sun terrace with sea view is available to guests for sunbathing.

Neighbourhood overview
The Studio is in the leafy outskirts of Risan - a green oasis in the north corner of the gorgeous Bay of Kotor on the main road. It is blessed with ancient springs, woodlands, eagles, and rich birdsong, including magical nightingales. Risan is an unspoiled ancient small town on the main road around the famous Bay of Kotor with a bustling Sunday market under the fragrant lime trees. There is a beach for sea bathing, 3 great waterside restaurants, 2 supermarkets, a bakery, post office, taxi rank, and mobile phone kiosk. The Tourist Office is at the Roman mosaic site, and overnight visitors must register here.

Getting around
Eco-House Studio is 5-10 mins uphill walk from the centre of Risan. Private off-road parking is immediately outside. A private car is best for day-trips to nearby highlights such as the famous ancient walled city of Kotor 30 mins drive, glitzy luxury in Porto Montenegro by road & ferry, Crkvice at 1000m above sea level, with its ruins of Austrian forts. Bus timetables are limited. Taxis are available from the centre of Risan.

Other things to note
The road from the town is steep and not really suitable for campervans or vehicles much larger than a normal private car or 4x4. We are happy to arrange for additional cleaning for 20 Euro. Breakfast is not included.

Risan is among the oldest settlements in the region, with its fortress from which the Illyrian Queen Teuta fought the invading Romans in the 3rd century BC. A later Roman palace built here boasts the finest Roman mosaics in the country, open for visitors every day. Under Venice, for 500 years the area was also on the border with the Ottoman Empire and of the division between Rome and Byzantium. The Austro-Hungarian Empire took over after the Napoleonic Wars, building many fortresses and roads.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to live in Montenegro, just fell in love with this country when we visited MNE on a business trip, and decided to find some land or a house and live here. It was not easy, after many months of searching, we found a plot of land in Risan. Building a house, an energy efficient house built to the 'German standard of Passivhaus', really a no-no, but we were determined, if we build a house, in a sustainable way!
We had huge problems and it took 7 years to build, we are still in the process of developing the Mediterranean Garden with the various walls, James has learnt to do 'dry-stone' walling, well done.
We have grown to love Risan for its gorgeous lush countryside setting, minutes from the main route around the famous Bay of Kotor and close to all the highlights of stunning unspoiled Montenegro.
We have lived in Montenegro for some years now and are happy to help you plan day trips, and give insights into the history and culture of this magical, unknown part of the Mediterranean.
The combination of mountains and sea at Risan appealed to us both and we love the peace and majesty of the mountains. Now and again we see eagles fly up high, we can look at the 'eagles' mountain from the house and the studio terraces. We believe It is the perfect oasis for us, and our guests.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy staying in our unique 'passiv-haus' low-energy home designed by us and our excellent Austrian architect. It is not only energy efficient but also conserves water. This is especially important in this climate, where we can go for weeks in summer without rain. The peaceful azure Unesco Bay of Kotor is a few minutes walk away for bathing.
We are surrounded by lush tall trees, rich birdsong including nightingales, mountain soaring eagles, and wild tortoises a few of which we have nursed as orphans.
There is a terrace above the Studio, with sea and mountain view, for more sun-bathing.
