One hundred steps from the Sea Gate into the heart of the Kotor Old Town, find yourself standing at the gated entrance into a chic courtyard, taking you to the 14th Century Venetian Bizanti Palace apartment. Overlooking the bustling Square of Flour, the bells from St Tryphon ring out happily. A charming traditional apartment, perfect for a long weekend or a stop-off to explore more of Montenegro. Relax and soak up the atmosphere in the old town's many bars and restaurants.

Step back in time and into one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities, the beautiful, ancient walled city of Kotor. You are in the heart of this beautiful ancient city, overlooking the Square of Flour. Enjoy the facilities on your doorstep in the Square of Flour below. Mama Mia bakery (pekara) is around 20 feet from the gated entrance; their bread and pastries are excellent. Treat yourself to delicious organic food and drink at the Astoria Hotel. Wonder the narrow streets, absorb the atmosphere and make the most of the many individual restaurants, cafes, and bars. Why not enjoy a fresh coffee at one of the many cafes (coffee culture is a local tradition!)? Browse around the local shops and enjoy the fresh produce in the market outside the city walls. Absorb the nighttime atmosphere and marvel at the illuminated fortress across the mountain. Your hosts, the two of us, Ivan and Katarina, were born and raised in Montenegro. We live in Boston, USA.
