Aug 22 We Love the Sea Views From This Restored Villa in Perast, Montenegro

Few 300-year-old villas in Montenegro balance heritage and modernity as seamlessly as this restored stone house in Perast. Listed with Montenegro Sotheby’s International Realty, the price is available on application with the agency.

Montenegro has become one of the Mediterranean’s most magnetic destinations, drawing yacht owners to Porto Montenegro in the fjord-like Boka Bay, travelers to its rugged mountain-and-sea landscapes, and design-aware buyers to its coastal heritage towns along the Adriatic.

At the heart of the Bay of Kotor, the village of Perast is a prime expression of that heritage and charm. Once a Venetian stronghold, today it is one of the Adriatic’s most picturesque settlements—a UNESCO World Heritage site defined by baroque churches, centuries-old stone houses, and views that spill out to the islands of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks.

The villa occupies an elevated position above the town, its restoration both rigorous and contemporary. Spanning 2,777 square feet (258 m²) across three levels (185 m² + 73 m²), it includes six en suite bedrooms—each 226–409 square feet (21–38 m²) with amenities such as bathtubs, jacuzzis, fireplaces, and sea-facing windows—plus a separate studio apartment. Originally designed to operate as a boutique hotel, the house also features a professional kitchen, staff quarters, and a dining terrace overlooking Perast’s red rooftops and the bay beyond.

Outside, a private infinity pool with bar, lounge, and covered pergola extends the living space into the open air, making full use of the Adriatic climate. Parking for up to nine cars and private access from the Kotor–Risan road add to its functionality, while the waterfront lies just 100 meters away.

Perast itself is more than a setting—it’s an atmosphere. The stone façades, the mountain backdrop, and the constant movement of yachts and fishing boats create a tableau that feels suspended in time. From this villa, those views are uninterrupted: a direct connection to the water and the history that has unfolded around it.

Montenegro continues to attract foreign investors looking for heritage property with strong lifestyle appeal, and Perast remains one of its most coveted addresses.
