Up the stairs, guests can find all their refreshment and meal needs to be catered for, in the Italian style kitchen. Fully-equipped, this area will bring you everything you need including storage options and use of different equipment to chef up a meal!

At the back of the Casa Banja, this grand property offers another apartment, complete with a kitchen and a living room and a double bedroom on the second floor!

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa BanjaMontenegro, a once hushed secret destination in Europe has been gaining recognition over the last few years. This in part to its sun-drenched beaches along its miles of coastal shores and its incredibly beautiful mountain-ranges. The perfect escape for sun and nature lovers, Montenegro also boasts a wealth of exploration and thrilling activities and some of the finest foods across the Mediterranean!
Emblazoned with the spirit of Venice, Dobrota sits in the southwestern shores of Montenegro and as a result, is an enriched village thanks to the Adriatic Sea. Quaint and humble, guests will enjoy the peaceful settings and uninhibited nature that flourishes across the land! Dobrota has managed to retain the richness that signified its historical importance through the years, whilst also promoting contemporary and renovated areas for all to enjoy!
Your stay sees you just in front of the shores of the Adriatic. Admire the different blue hues that sparkle in the sun, from the comfort of your villa or head straight down to the seaside and splash in its waters! From the comfort of the shores, guests can relax on tables and chairs and dine by its glory! Head up to Seagull's Rocks, known as Galebova Stijena, a popular place to jump off rocks into water or take to some diving to get up-close and personal with the life teeming below the waves!
At Kotor Bay Tours, just a gentle stroll from the villa, guests can explore the illustrious coast and islands that are all accessible from Dobrota. Watch the boats sail across the sea and life on the shores of fishermen and locals, before heading out to the two picturesque islands just off the mainland where you can visit the famous lighthouse and the monastery Sveti Juraj!
From the villa through to the town of Kotor, a range of restaurants serving both native and international dishes will see to it that your cravings are satisfied! As well as the grilled meats and vegetables that country is specialised in, your location means you get the bonus of exquisite seafood and recipes, passed down from generations of fishermen and shore-people!

About the Region & Getting There
About the Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor, or Boka, has been a World Heritage Site since 1979, so be assured of its captivating scenery that includes; a Venetian old town, a Fortress, Roman Mosaics, churches and a glistening cove that all culminate to provide guests with an exceptional holiday destination.
Sailing through the fjord you will notice the Orjen Mountains along the west, and the Lovćen Mountain range curling around the east, which outline this spellbinding landscape. As you enter through the bay you are greeted by a man-made islet that is home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church and a museum. This is the first of many reminders that you are about to reach a region of Montenegro that is famed for its natural scenery and poignant architecture.
The Bay of Kotor is made up of four cornerstones - Lastva, Morinj, Stoliv and the most renowned Tivat. Within these villages you are able to find iconic landmarks such as St Petka Church and St Mary’s Church, or for something a little less pious; simply enjoy Tivat Marina and Gornji Stoliv’s Olive grove & Fig orchard.
Travel inland and strap on a pair of hiking boots as you explore Lovcen National Park. Although it is about an hours drive from the Bay, it really is worth the day trip! Whether you’re travelling with a Botanists, Ecologist, Entomologist or Zoologist; they will be pleased to know that there’s an immeasurable number of species that include birds, insects, bears, wolves and some breath-taking flora & fauna.
We urge holidaymakers to make the most of Kodor! This charming town has everything you need to forget the day-to-day tribulations of home life. Not only does this small medieval refuge have a host of cafes & restaurants, but there are some must see attractions like the Maritime Museum, the Cats Museum of Kotor, Cats of Kotor Shop and St. John’s Hill. The perfect retreat for a family in need of sun, sea & sentiment.
