Booked in for one night and stayed for four, book-ending hikes in the inland Montenegro mountains. Looking out of the window or sitting on the jetty is a treat in itself. We had booked the Glorioso room, the only one with a balcony, indeed the one with the iconic balcony that features in the hotel pix, but unfortunately the guests in it didn't want to leave. Who could blame them. But the hotel could not have been more helpful: they put us in the next door suite, and charged us less. In our return visit, we stayed in a standard double - small, but perfectly nice and significantly cheaper.
The hotel is in a restored palazzo. Looking at the 'before' pix, restored is a gross understatement to the amount of work that has gone into it. The result is restrained, elegant, luxury. The staff, especially Nicola and Stana, went out of their way to help, booking restaurants and boat trips, and our onward hotel. Stana even found us a rare day trip to Albania.

I have stayed at this hotel many times and reccomend it and endorse the comments made by the other guests. Looking out your window in all seasons is a treat and not to be missed, late nights in the courtyard chatting to the owners and the staff getting to know the area and the friendly people of Montenegro. An experiance not to be missed, a real pleasure made my business trips fun and restfull.Walk along the waters edge at this time of year and you will find green figs ready to pick?

Stayed here for 4 nights in September. From start to finish there was nothing we could fault. Check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even offering a valet service on arrival. Lovely old building, tastefully decorated bedrooms (only 8 in total) and communal areas. Stayed in Gloriosa room overlooking bay, which was large and beautifully appointed, nice large bathroom (only thing it requires to make it perfect is a bath screen). Bar staff also extremely friendly and efficient, as were all the staff to be fair. During our stay hotel offered free yoga every morning on upper terrace, which we availed of and thoroughly enjoyed, especially on a sunny morning overlooking bay, so relaxing and a great way to start the day. Small gym and sauna, together with range of massages also available, didn't get a chance to have massage but was told by another guest it was very good.
Don't have any hesitation in recommending this place to stay, a good 35/40 min walk into Kotor, but to come back to this peaceful haven every day made us glad we had chosen it. Hotel only offers snacks and drinks (makes great cocktails by the way) but there is another hotel down the road which offers excellent food on decking right on water front. Ate in Galion restaurant in Kotor too, as recommended by the hotel, and it was fantastic and would highly recommend it, Big hello to Stana, who was very friendly and helpful during our stay.
If you're lookiing for a relaxing break then this is the place for you... just book it!

Recommended by friends, a few of us checked in for a weekend during our Montenegro-hoping tour in August 2011. The hotel exeeded our expectations. Lovely historic building, with descretly build-in modern comforts, very friendly and helpful staff, romantic rooms, excellent bathrooms (not always the case, as we all know). Lovely garden and pool in the backyard, as well as a guest-only private pier in Kotor Bay. The hotel made us feel like being on Lake Como instead of Montenegro, to be honest. Really no downside to the place...going back in 2012...
