Regular events include community dinners, game nights, film nights, sunset paddleboarding sessions, and group excursions to nearby towns like Kotor.

Location & Accessibility

The house offers a serene, hilltop location perfect for focused work, though its remoteness requires planning for errands and exploration. Stunning walks connect you to the village, but the terrain is hilly. Access to beaches, larger supermarkets, and nearby cities is greatly enhanced by using the provided bikes, scooters, or organizing rides.

Public Transport

Limited direct public transport from the village. The nearest major transport hubs and airports (like Tivat) are accessible by taxi or arranged rides. The owner can often assist with arranging transportation.

Car Considerations

A car is not strictly necessary but highly recommended for maximum freedom and convenience. It simplifies grocery trips, exploring the coast, and visiting other towns. Parking is available. The owner can help facilitate favorable car rentals.

Walkability

The local village is walkable (20-25 mins to a small supermarket), but the return journey is uphill. Beaches like Horizonti and Movida are a 20-30 minute walk or bike ride away (also uphill on return). Taxis and ride-sharing are options for longer trips.

Key Distances

Small village supermarket: 20-25 min walk. Nearest beaches (Horizonti, Movida): 20-30 min walk/bike. Larger supermarkets: 5 min by car/scooter. Tivat area: Short drive. Kotor: Accessible for day trips.

Challenges & Tips

The main challenge is the hilly, isolated location. Be prepared for exercise when walking. Plan grocery shopping around the owner's scheduled runs. Using the provided bicycles or scooters is highly recommended for local mobility. Bring mosquito repellent in summer.
