LOCAL MONTENEGRO
EXPERIENCE

Join us for a local Montenegro experience. Before the world finds out!!!

There is one Country.

Hidden from the public eye.

A treasury of canyons, rivers, lakes, mountain peaks, the Adriatic Sea, and good people.

The name “Crna Gora” (Montenegro) is mentioned for the first time in 1276. It is believed that it got its name after the dense forests that covered Mount Lovcen and the surrounding area. The forests were so dark which gave the impression of a “black” mountain.

Today Montenegro has just little over 600 thousand residents and it is the ‘’smallest’’ country in the Balkans, but it’s also the best-kept travel secret there is.

We will introduce you to the local way of living, you will get to try traditional food, homemade wines, liquors. We will explore the Adriatic Sea, lakes, mountains, visit UNESCO towns, mystical and spiritual Benedictine monastery, catholic churches, and museums.

Luxury Retreat

In 2002, the retreat was nothing but 300-year-old ruins, and then came Sasha, riding his bike along the Montenegro coast. All he had was a vision, but he knew a vision without action is only a dream.

The construction started in 2012 and finally, in 2016, Sasha’s vision came to life.

A private retreat, only available to the guests of the hotel. We will start each day with a splendid breakfast overlooking the Bay of Kotor (Boka Bay) that will get us ready for our daily adventures. And each night we will come back to our six-bedroom retreat, with a private chef, infinity pool, wood-burning sauna and jacuzzi, and wine cellar, hidden from the public eye.

The hotel is hidden in a tiny, idyllic village Perast on the breathtaking Bay of Kotor (Boka Bay) in Montenegro. Chances are if you have seen a postcard of Montenegro, it’s been of Perast. The village is known for its iconic silhouette of towering Venetian Gothic buildings and is of course, under UNESCO’s protection.
