Detached Seafront House. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms.

Villa Ruza is a traditional, detached stone built house located right on the seafront (first line) of Tivat Bay in the village of Donja Lastva. Villa Ruza has 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully fitted kitchen, spacious dining / lounge area and accommodates a maximum of 6 guests. Villa Ruza is fully air conditioned with a spacious terrace facing the sea. Villa Ruza was completely renovated to the highest standards in 2017 and is now enjoyed by friends and families from around the world. At Villa Ruza we have combined the benefits of traditional local materials with all the conveniences of modern living. Villa Ruza enjoys the sun all day and guests enjoy the most amazing sunsets every evening. Behind Villa Ruza are the mountains which separate us from the Bay of Kotor.

Villa Ruza sits next to the Roman Catholic Church of St Roko. Villa Ruza is about 200 years old and has a completely updated private, secure outside terrace of 35 square meters. The internal floor space is 120 square meters.

The terrace has plenty of space and facilities for you to enjoy outdoor living and eating. There are shady and sunny areas so you can always choose the most comfortable place for you. High quality sun loungers are available for you to use.

The kitchen is brand new, spacious, light and airy with:

• Beautiful granite worktops throughout.
• A gorenje electric hob and oven.
• A gorenje extractor unit.
• Integrated gorenje fridge and freezer.
• Integrated gorenje Dishwasher.
• Integrated Bosch Washing Machine.
• Matt Black Franke sink
• Bosch Kettle
• Bosch Toaster
• Glassware
• China, crockery and cutlery
• Pots, pans and utensils for cooking.

The downstairs floor is tiled with the original red and cream tiles which have been in the property for 200 years. The floor was re-laid as part of the renovation. You will see exactly the same type of stone tiles in the old city of Kotor.

There are three fully air-conditioned bedrooms.
The beds were all handmade and assembled in the rooms.
The mattresses are ultra-comfortable and were all new in 2017.
• Bedroom #1 has a double bed (200 cms x 200 cms) with sea and mountain views.
• Bedroom #2 has a double bed (180 cms wide x 200 cms long) with views of the sea, mountains and church.
• Bedroom # 3 has 2 single beds (90 cms wide x 200 cms long) with views of the church.


Additional Features:

• Private Parking for up to 2 vehicles.
• Beautiful views across Tivat Bay from all windows to the front.
• Café Giardino is 10 meters away. It is a quiet Konoba (water front restaurant / bar) which is owned by our neighbour Zoran and his family. They are super friendly and specialise in fresh fish dishes. Zoran and his son catch the fish themselves.
• Café Giardino will deliver your order to the house if you would prefer to eat at home.
• Beautiful Catholic Church of St Roko is our other neighbour. I recommend you look inside. Don Nikola (the resident priest) is very welcoming. The church bells ring between 07:00 and 22:00 daily. On the hour and every half hour. It is all part of the charm of the area.
• Convenience Store a 5 minute walk away.
• The marina, restaurants and shops of Porto Montenegro are a 15 minute walk along the seafront.
• All windows have glass windows and composite shutters so you can control the sunlight and temperature of the house.
• Original stone floor which has been cleaned and re-laid for the first time in 200 years.
• Exposed original stone interior walls in places.
• Reclaimed maritime brass lighting throughout.
• Canvass prints of the house prior to the renovation.
• New windows and shutters.
• Oak wooden floor up the stairs and throughout the three bedrooms.
• Handmade solid oak dining table and chairs.
• Two matching sofas.
• Log burner for the winter.
• War Memorial to some fallen partisans from WW2 immediately next door to the left.

Villa Ruza has a fenced off child friendly front terrace. We can provide baby gear including highchairs and cot on request.

You can swim in the sea right in front of Villa Ruza. Just around the corner is a safe, gently sloping beach.

The area is very popular with visiting artists who enjoy painting the sea, sky and mountains.

There are plenty of opportunities to sail at Porto Montenegro where they have a fleet of J70’s and Blu 26’s available for rent. I can make all the introductions there.

There are numerous local places where you can walk in the hills and mountains.

If you like architecture then the ancient venetian city of Kotor is just one local example in the UNESCO protected bay of Kotor.

We loved the old stone building, sympathetically restored with all the modern conveniences you would want. The pictures on the walls showing the history of the building were a lovely touch. The property is well located with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets in walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay here the space was perfect for our family of 4 (two adult children).

Wonderful home in a beautiful local neighborhood. Walking distance to grocery shops and a couple of nice restaurants too. Beds were very cozy and comfortable. Our family of 6 had ample space. Home a/c worked well. Parking spot was great. Our next door neighborhood restaurant was prefect for our daily cappuccinos that we had in our home each day. Owner was great with communicating. We had a wonderful time in Tivat.

An absolute dream!

We had a wonderful stay at James and Lily’s charming villa. The location can’t be beat, steps from the water and the views are absolutely stunning. The quaint bar next door is a lovely spot to enjoy a drink or fresh homemade meal. The villa itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedding is comfortable, the black out shutters ensure a good rest and the air conditioning kept us cool through out. The kitchen is well stocked for home chefs and cooking enthusiasts, we made lots of meals at home and enjoyed them on the terrace watching the sunset. James (the owner) and Tamara (the coordinator) were super responsive and helpful with everything. They checked in often and made sure we were taken care of. There is a sweet one eyed cat that would visit every morning, accepting pets and swatting away unwanted critters.Tivat is a sleepy town with friendly locals and an easy going vibe and was a great start to our adventure in Montenegro. Needless to say, we can’t wait to be back!

Beautiful Quaint House with Water views

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint and beautifully renovated house. The 3 bedrooms were of good size and with comfortable beds. The bay is right in front of the house. It is also next to a lovely church. The church bells didnt bother us as it didn't come on too early or too late and it was part of the charm.Next door was a local restaurant run by a very friendly owner and it was a good option for last minute hunger pangs.The location was perfect for us as it was also an easy walk to several nice restaurants and the nearest beach was lovely. We didn't want to be in the touristy part and when we did venture into town and the port area it was an easy 7 mins drive.Communication was great and fast responses when there were queries. Very friendly owner and well-managed locally.We would recommend a stay at this lovely property.

Perfect spot to relax

We had a great time staying at this house slowing down the pace after several weeks of a crazy travel schedule. The kids really loved swimming right out in front and we rented jet skis just a 5 minute walk away. The home is charming and I grabbed a lovely cappuccino from the little restaurant next-door every morning.

Fantastic

We enjoyed a very extended long stay at beautiful Villa Ruza . It’s in a great quiet location while being close to some very nice local restaurants ….check out Punta Veranda restaurant just past the Big Ben restaurant both of which were our favourite places to eat out . Villa Ruza is just a short stroll along the bayside to ritzy Porto Montenegro offering shopping, many cafes, boat tours and many more restaurants , while a visit to Kotor is just a short taxi ride away . While in Tivat ((Porto Montenegro) take the chair lift to the top of the mountain where it offers incredible views of bay . We highly recommend staying at Villa Ruza it’s a beautiful house 11/10!

Beautiful historic house in a perfect location

There is nothing not to love about this darling stone house. It’s located right next to a church and there is a family fish restaurant on the other side. It’s a very quiet area on the water and a short walk to the port where there are many nice restaurants and shops. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom with a shower upstairs and one bathroom with a shower downstairs. The kitchen has everything you need and has been nicely done with a dishwasher and euro washing machine. There is a nice outdoor patio and eating space with a stone and marble table and bbq. There is a parking spot right in front of the house and the location is very well situated to see the surrounding towns easily by car. We were very happy.

Fabulous Autumn Holiday

Vila Ruza is a 5 star property with exceptional levels of comfort and convenience: it has everything holidaymakers need from dishwashers to a log burner. Beds are very large and comfortable and having two bathrooms is ideal when four or more adults are staying. The surrounding Kotor area is stunning. The combination of sea and mountains provides astonishing vistas of beauty and pastoral perfection. Perast, Kotor City, the Blue Caves and the old Yugoslav submarine pens are "must see" features for which you will need a boat. James the property owner can arrange all of your water~taxi needs and anything else you need including excellent restaurant recommendations. Despite the fact that this holiday was in October /November the temperature in the Bay was so mild we were able to go swimming! I wholeheartedly recommend Vila Ruza, the Bay of Kotor and Montenegro as superb destinations. NB Montenegro is still great value for money compared to other "sun-spot" destinations.

Excellent holiday home

Villa Ruza is a lovely heritage property located in Donja Lastva, a small village just outside of Tivat and an ideal base for exploring Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor. The owners recently completed an extensive renovation preserving the exterior and completely re-doing the interior, bringing it up to modern standards with air conditioning and tasteful décor reflecting its seaside location. The house is charming and comfortable, with a large, well-equipped kitchen and dining area, three bedrooms with excellent beds, and spotlessly clean and contemporary bathrooms with good hot water and shower pressure. There is also an outdoor seating area and patio making it easy to enjoy the sun or shade, whatever you prefer. You have a lovely view of the bay and the spectacular sunsets and there is a small beach around the corner where locals swim every evening (and you can too). Down the road, you can access a waterfront promenade that takes you to Porto Montenegro, an exclusive shopping, hotel, condo and marina complex within a 15 minute walk. The complex has several restaurants and designer shopping and is the mooring station for many super yachts which make for interesting sight-seeing! There are two grocery stores a 10 minute walk away making it easy to stock up on essentials when you arrive. The owner provides extensive information on how to manage the house, as well as suggestions for day trips and activities in the area, restaurant recommendations, transportation options and the best way to ask the owner of the small restaurant next door to prepare fish he caught earlier in the day for your dinner. The villa management team on the ground is responsive and helpful, and booked taxis for us to tour the area as we did not have a rental car (and really didn’t need one). One item to note is the village church next to the villa and the church bells that ring on the hour (and sometimes on the half hour) between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. This is not an issue unless you’re a late riser or take long afternoon naps and is really part of the charm of village life. The pictures on the web site provide an accurate description of the house and a comprehensive overview of the exterior and interior. If you’re looking for a vacation property that’s comfortable as well as interesting, then Villa Ruza is an excellent choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic property in a lovely location!

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful house! We were delighted with the location of the house in terms of its ‘central’ location on the coast - perfect for visiting the Bay of Kotor, the beaches of the Lustica Peninsula, the coast down to Budva and Petrovac, and inland to Lake Skadar and lovely Cetinje. We loved wandering down to Porto Montenegro for dinner and people/yacht-watching. We really appreciated all the information James provided in the house book and used a number of his recommendations - sadly we didn’t have time to do everything! The house itself was absolutely lovely - from its waterfront location, to the really high standard of decor/equipment, it was a pleasure to stay in! The bed in the master bedroom was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in - it’s enormous - I need one at home! And the air-con was a huge bonus as it was very hot, and it meant that we all slept really well. As you can imagine, we didn’t want to come home! We've been self-catering for the last 25 years, and this is probably the nicest house we've ever stayed in, in terms of comfort, equipment and location! We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Great Villa in a Good Location

The villa, being fairly recently refurbished, is in great condition and is comfortable and well furnished. There is plenty of outdoor space to eat and relax and just enough shade for really hot days. It is noticeable that the villa has been fitted out by owners that regularly stay themselves, so everything you need is at the villa. The restaurant next door is cheap with simple, delicious food and other restaurants are within 10 minutes walk. There are 2 supermarkets within 5 minutes walk. Swimming just outside the front door and a small beach 90 seconds walk away. The scenery is spectacular, with a beautiful view across Tivat bay. Porto Montenegro (15 mins walk) is well worth a visit (particularly at night) and Tivat is a further 5 minutes walk further on. This is the first holiday in a long time where I’ve not hired a car and have not missed it. The owner, James is really helpful with great comms and his team in Montenegro is excellent - this all contributes to a smooth and relaxing holiday. I’d struggle to think of any downsides. The bells on the church next door are really loud, which is only a problem if you have grumpy teenagers, but otherwise, Villa Ruza is fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Fabulous week at the Villa Ruza

Villa Ruza is a cool and comfortable property that made our stay in Montenegro really superb. I could walk out of the house each morning and swim in the warm water in front of the house and take breakfast on the patio in the shade of Bougainvillea at the front of the property with breathtaking views of the mountains and the sea before you. It was very hot that week but the stone house remained cool and airy and the air-conditioning enabled a great nights sleep. To sum up, Villa Ruza will not disappoint, from its cool antique ships lighting to its high quality furnishing and remarkable stone floor. The large beds are very comfortable, the house is spotlessly clean, the bathrooms are excellent and the kitchen is well equipped. The friendly and responsive local team make sure everything is perfect. The local community are very welcoming, from the grocery shop a few minutes walk away to the fish restaurant and bar very close by where the owner Zoran will prepare fish he has caught earlier that day for dinner. We Lived like a locals in luxury!

Magnificent Montenegro

After a leisurely 1hr 40 drive from Podgorica Airport through stunning scenery, and a wonderful lunch stop on the shores of Lake Skadar we descended from the mountains arriving at the Bay of Kotor and Villa Ruza. The Villa sits a few metres back from the water in a little square complete with a small church and a great local cafe/restaurant. A lovely old building the villa has been brought right up to date - a few years ago think, but, we felt like we must be the first guests it felt so fresh. The owners have kept the sense of character whist adding all modern conveniences and the whole property is light, airy and spacious the views from the bedrooms are tremendous. Outside a well tended garden with a fine stone table provides areas of shade to sit if it gets to hot with some very comfy loungers to lie in if you are instead working on your tan! It's also a great spot to to spy what fish the cafe owner "Zoran" has caught that day for your dinner. We had a car but taxis are cheap and the Bay is so worth exploring. Kotor is perfect for losing yourself in and the castle towering above the town supplies the best views - a serious trek up and don't try it in the heat of the summer, we went in first thing one morning and were back down by 09.30. We found two bikes at the house and these got used every day for popping to the supermarkets 3 mins away or riding down into Porto Montenegro where the millionaires and billionaires keep their ocean going play things. All in all we had a fantastic break as a family group. Mum , Dad two adult children and a Grandma. Nobody was ever bored and all agreed we would love to visit again
