This hotel was like a little apartment. I had my own kitchen, with dishes and cookware. a large bed and a nice bathroom. The hotel was quiet. And being right on the bay offered excellent views. They have a little area on the bat with chairs and tables where you could sit and have a drink or morning coffee. Downtown Kotor can get packed, but this area is not crowded. It had a couple small stores down the road with carried the basics. Theres a local bus that runs down the road in front of the hotel which is a bonus. You just wave at it and it will stop for you. You can pay cash. Its only a te minute ride to downtown. And on the way back they'll stop whereever you ask. This is a great hotel in a great location and I enjoyed my stay there.

Beautiful villa, great value
Beautiful place, just like the photos, comfy bed and great view from our window and we could park right outside which was great. There are two restaurants a short walk away and the food is good, right on the water, but you really need transport to get into Kotor. Our host was a mine of information about the house and the history of Kotor. We spent a lovely three nights there as it was such good value.

A beautiful family run property. Excellent location a few steps to the water in the beautiful bay area with great restaurants/bars and shops all walkable. The owner could not have been more helpful with our questions and arrangements with taxis. Would definately recommend.

The best vacation stay we had so far! The villa is absolutely luxurious. The dining experience right by the bay is priceless - first class experience! The owner, Aleksander & his family is so hospitable - they treat you like family. Kotor is a vacation you don’t want to miss!

A gem
Amazing place. Scenery. Quiet. Tasty breakfast. Walking into the water from the hotel. Felt sorry for the people who spent all their time in the old town where it is relatively crowded. This is a gem and the definition of a summer holiday.

A handsome stone sea-captain’s house, clean and friendly. We stayed in the front of the property with beautiful views over the Kotor bay and in a large and comfortably equipped room. Aleksandar was our helpful host. There are several good and reasonably priced waterfront restaurants within easy walking distance and it is a stone’s throw to the bakery and mini market. Hourly buses into Kotor from where you can get to Budva and beyond. The one coast road however runs directly in front of all of the bayside properties and can be noisy at times, but the courtyard garden with orange and banana trees is quiet and good for a picnic and a bottle or two of local wine and beer . Great walks up the Vrmac massif above the house and the old Kotor mule track. Above all a beautiful and interesting country!

THE VIEWS
This place was great! It was so cute, and I absolutely fell in love with the views! The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything I needed except AC. It is family-owned, so there wasn't usually someone at the front desk, but I didn't need much, so it wasn't a problem. It is about 15 minutes out of Kotor, but there is a very easy bus, which helps a lot. The view makes literally any tiny inconvenience 100% worth it.

Our favorite place to stay in Montenegro
Villa Mariner is a wonderful place to stay. Only a 20-minute local Blueline bus ride from Kotor (ask the bus driver to drop you off in front of the door), it is much quieter and is a much better bargain than apartments found inside and just outside the old city. Staff at Villa Mariner (owner, Alexsandar and his two sons) was super helpful in making our stay comfortable and relaxing. Correspondance with the Alexsandar helped us organize our bus travels through the region. As for the Villa Mariner building, imagine an old fortified mansion with stone walls a meter thick. Apartments are clean, big and well equipped to prepare meals. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable at night. Much restoration has been completed but the place retains its old world character. And what a view of the bay of Kotor just outside your front window!!! After a day of visiting the old city or after a day’s excursion, return to Villa Mariner in the late afternoon and go for a refreshing swim in the sea. Use the beach chairs reserved for the guests. Everything is just across the street in front of the building. As for food, good restaurants, a bakery and a small grocery store are close by.

Very unique place in Prčan, the Bay of Kotor !
I had a studio apartment which is at ground level and I loved everything about it....design, decoration, lighting, comfort, right at the beach front . There are few little tree's at the property beachfront which provides comfortable shade throughout the day. Aleksandar ( the owner ) is such a sincere and caring person, who tries to fulfill all guests little requests to make them feel special and comfortable. Highly recommend this unique place!

Lovely stay
Lovely historic place to stay, clean, quiet and comfortable, with amazing views and its own waterfront. Great communication from a very friendly and helpful owner. Would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you want some peace and relaxation by the water. One thing to be aware of is that it is a fair walk into Old Kotor, but there's an hourly bus (cheap) or taxis (about 10euro). But little shops and restaurants within a couple minutes walk.

Great authentic stay, great views
What a find! The host, Aleksandar could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The house is great and has been on his family for generations and it's UNESCO protected. The rooms are reasonable size. My rooms offered ac and beautiful views of Kotor Bay. There was ample parking with spots in front of the House and close by. Aleksandar offered advice on some great local dining options and on things to see locally. He also gave me some ideas on things to see in other cities I was traveling to within Montenegro. My stays (2) were great and I was even given a nice gift upon departure. This place was first rate and I would gladly stay here again. Do yourself a favor and stay here if you're visiting the area.

On a quite side of the lake some one hour walk to the village of Kotor. Dont assume you can take the bus to go to the city. There is a bus but very unreliable and only seems to come one an hour. The accomodation itself is unique looks like a fortress and is quite and peaceful there even if there is a road in front of the house. We enjoyed our stay and Kotor is very beautiful indeed.

we really enjoyed our 14 day stay at the villa mariner. the property was perfectly situated to meet our needs with a wonderful sea view and stepped access for a swim. the rooms we stayed in where spotlessly presented with the cleaner in everyday. Aleksandar, (owner) was always on hand for any questions and was very approachable and friendly. we did not have breakfast at the property ourselves, but where informed by other guests that they where very good. all in all a superb place to stay and i would have no qualms recommending the property to others. we would go back to the property ourselves at the drop of a hat.

Charming property
The building is 400 years old with some limitations due to the age such as small bathrooms. At the same time, these issues give the building a old world charm you will not find anywhere else. I dropped one star on comfort because the bed was a bit hard for me. Others might love it. The view from the windows was stunning. The owner met us and took us to the room and was very helpful. Small grocery store down the street and three restaurants up the street. Cab to town center is little less than 5 euros. Bus is 1 euro and stops wherever you flag him to stop. We would stay there again. Love the building and view.
