About this property

Highly Rated 'The Boka Penthouse'

Beautifully positioned in an elevated location above the bay, our apartment is fully equipped to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. A small supermarket, the waters edge, several bars and restaurants are just minutes away or just relax on one of the sun loungers around the pool. Ten minutes by car, bus or taxi is the beautiful walled medieval town of Kotor. This pedestrianised town is a must see that boasts a variety of restaurants, bars, churches, galleries and boutiques. A ten minute drive in the opposite direction is the ancient town of Parest once part of the Venetian empire. From here you can take a trip to the island or walk around the old stone buildings, chill on the waterfront restaurants or visit the museum. Boka Heights is a small and very well maintained complex with the grounds and swimming pool inspected twice daily. The residence is privately owned and ideal for a family holiday or couples retreat, please ask to see our online photo albums and see for yourself.

Amazing location and view from the terrace

Although it wasn’t my first time at the property , the breathtaking view from the terrace still amazed me. It’s the perfect spot to unwind in the evenings, watching the sunset and boats on the bay.The awning provides great shade in the afternoon, making the terrace even more enjoyable.Check in was simple with the key box , and communication with Alex and Marija was excellent.The apartment was very clean , the beds were comfortable and I slept well. I can’t wait to return - I never get tired of this place !

Amazing views that’s hard to beat

The apartment was at the top of a small villa complex but the view is well worth the many steps to get to the apartment. The apartment entrance qas. It easy to find at first - when you see #27 then go past that on the left and walk around the back. The apartment is well stocked and a/c in every room. It has a nice balcony to admire the view room. I’ve attached photos of the amazing view. As per another review when I booked the apartment the VRBO listing showed the property as walking distance to the old town which is not the case - it is a 10 minute car drive. It looks like the listing has now been corrected. Also note that the swimming pool is a communal pool with the other apartments in the complex (maybe 30?). It does not state this in the listing and when I booked I had wrongly assumed that it was a private pool for the villa.

The apartment

The apartment was great and met our expectations. Criticism: The description stated, "in the heart of Kotor's Old Town, a 2-minute walk from the Sea Tower, and a 5-minute walk from the medieval city walls." This contradicted the actual location and the directions (which were later changed). There were also several construction sites nearby, so we were temporarily unable to use the parking lot for two days. Waste disposal was unclear. We were supposed to dispose of our trash near the market. It was a 15-minute walk!

Wonderful

The Apartment was exactly as described. A wonderful view, nice pool, well equipped. The landlord was extremely helpful and nice. It was close (although quite steep) to the sea, quiet. Our stay was definitely too short!

So amazing

I believe that this was the most amazing apartment that we have rented! So clean and well stocked but the best feature would be the incredible patio with spectacular view of the Bay of Kotor. Close to the beach but also a pool! We will be back!!

Lovely view of kotor bay

This apartment is about 3 miles from the old town, very convenient and comfortable. It is a fairly steep drive to the parking lot, and be forewarned that it takes another 90 (stair) steps to get from the parking lot into this apartment. It does have a great view of the bay. A wifi hotspot was in the apartment, but no password was made available by the host. All in all we enjoyed our stay, very convenient to the old town, a grocery store and a restaurant.

Fin lägenhet

Fin lägenhet med högt läge, fantastisk utsikt, ingen insyn men många trappor... Välstädat med två fina sovrum, stort vardagsrum och stor terass med markis. AC i varje rum. Pool på området, ca 50 meter från lägenheten. Boendet ligger ca 6 km från centrala Kotor, inte centralt som kartnålen i annonsen visar. Några restauranger finns inom 2 km från lägenheten. Matbutik och bageri ca 1 km.

Incredible views and comfortable apartment

Really enjoyed our stay - the views were amazing! Great communication with host and everything was as described. The apartment is very well equipped with lots of extras. Kids enjoyed the pool and the patio area was a nice space around the pool but also great to have own patio to relax on. The location was great for us - easy walk down to beach/sea, nice few places to eat or have a drink at - away from the busy area of Kotor.

Ein Ort zum relaxen..

Fantastischer Ausblick auf den Fjord. Um diesen zu genießen, muss man allerdings eine Menge Stufen hoch laufen! Das sollte man vor der Buchung bedenken, für Leute, die evtl eine körperliche Einschränkung haben! Eine ruhige Unterkunft, eine gut ausgestattete Wohnung, die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war wirklich nett! Es wurde nichts beschönigt, die Bilder zeigen das Appartement etc so wie es wirklich ist! Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder diese Wohnung buchen! Haben uns echt wohl gefühlt!

Incredible view

The pictures from the apartment are accurate, it is a beautiful view out to Kotor Bay. Dobrota is far enough away from Kotor so you aren't dealing with the cruise ship crowds, yet close enough to walk or take the bus into town to explore the Old City or hike up to the ancient fortress. The apartment was well-appointed with a great kitchen and 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has patio doors that open out to the wonderful balcony. There is access to this balcony from the living area also. It was a little difficult to figure out which apartment was ours as the apartment numbers are not intuitive. There are also quite a few stairs to climb. But they were certainly worth it!

Tolles Appartement mit sensationellem Ausblich

Das Appartement entsprach zu 100% den Beschreibungen, alles bestens, alles top, keinerlei Kritikpunkte. Das Einzige, was man wissen sollte: es befindet sich in einem Vorort von Kotor (Supermarkt, Restaurant, Meer, Bushaltestelle alles fußläufig zu erreichen) und zur superschönen Altstadt sind es ca. 6 bis 7 km. Aber wie gesagt: Appartement top, Anlage top, Pool top, Ausblick auf die Bucht von Kotor mega-top!!!

Amazing

Amazing apartment with a fantastic view over Kotor Bay. Well equipped for self catering. Short (but steep walk back) to promenade and short walk to restaurants, shops and a brilliant all day bakery! The site is well maintained with swimming pool being cleaned regularly. Excellent communication from Seller before and during our stay. Would recommend highly!

Great apartment with amazing view!

Beautiful apartment with spectacular view from the balcony and lounge window. Lovely walk along the promenade into Kotor which takes approximately 1 hour. The apartment complex and swimming pool are very well maintained. Great communication with Alex and Marija and a very well explained check in process. We would highly recommend this apartment if visiting Montenegro!

A perfect apartment with wonderful views

Our first visit to Montenegro, and it was great.That first view from the balcony took our breath away, and it was still a delight on the final morning. The apartment is well equipped, with a great shared pool. It’s location is quiet and peaceful. There is a steep walk back from shops and waters edge, due to its scenic views, and not hiring a car! Marija is very happy to answer any local questions, and provide taxi numbers, which are a necessity for evening trips into Kotor. Many thanks Alex, we loved it. Steve and Christina

Boka, The Penthouse Apartment

The photographs of the apartment do not do it justice! Big enough, very well maintained & clean with stunning views of Boka Bay. Some nice restaurants close by & turning right onto the main road after descending from the apartment is an excellent seafood & wine shop, about a 5 minute drive towards Perest. Kotor is lovely, parts of the old town are lively yet other areas are peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend the apartment. The view is just beautiful.

Lovely apartment with a fantastic view

Really enjoyed our stay in Boka Heights. Nice spacious apartment with balcony and swimming pool. Marija who met us was very helpful. Downsides are its up a steep hill and ca.3 miles from centre of Kotor but taxis are only €4-5 and its a small price to pay for a stunning view. Would heartily recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image
We first visited Montenegro in 2003 and after falling in love with this then little known jewel in the Adriatic,have traveled the length and breadth of the country since and have never ceased to be amazed by it's beautiful photogenic scenery, good food, wine, beaches, castles, monasteries, olive groves, vineyards and colorful locals. We decided early on that we had to buy a holiday home here and after carefully researching each and every area over some three years (we lived in the apartment for a while) including the villages around the bay. We settled on these elevated properties in Dobrota, although in a quiet vicinity you are still only minutes away from both beaches and mountain locations, which makes this an ideal base for a vacation. We still take our holidays here every year.

Why they chose this property

We found ourselves in the privileged position of being able to choose the first apartments in the Boka Heights development which is our favourite part of the bay.

They remain our passion!
