Спасибо за комфортный отдых Thanks for a comfortable stay

We really liked the rest, we rested together with a friend in mid-September. Firstly, the photos of the villa correspond to reality, they did not notice about the audibility of everyone and everything. The room is clean, comfortable, there is everything that people need on vacation except for a hair dryer (((but this is not a problem, it seems to me. The same applies to soap and soap accessories, which supposedly should be provided by the hotel. In this case, one should not forget that Villa Maria is not a 5 star Splendid across the road where you can get jam on your back day and night for your money. The staff is friendly, hospitable. Special thanks for the attention to Mirra and the maid Valentina! Everyone understands Russian, they speak English at the reception, so there simply can’t be problems with the language barrier, since both Serbian and Croatian are very similar to Russian and Ukrainian. The room was cleaned every day, garbage was taken out, towels were changed every day. . From my point of view, the only negative is that the Internet is only at the reception, not in the rooms, but sitting on the stairs in the evening twilight overlooking the mountains has its own charm))) In 4 houses from Villa Maria there is a good Athos restaurant, with excellent cuisine and excellent prices, for 10 euros you can eat enough and drink wine or something stronger. The portions are HUGE, I especially recommend the schnitzels (€8 per serving including garnish), salads (on average €4 a serving), pancakes (take half a serving, they are very large). Near the supermarket you can buy vegetables and fruits, there is also a fast food stall at the exit from the alley to the road to Budva, where they make incredibly delicious hot sandwiches of a huge size for a ridiculous amount of 2.5 euros. We went to the beach through the Mediteran Hotel, just opposite the exit from the alley where Villa Maria is located, the municipal beaches are FREE, you can take a sun lounger and an umbrella, an average of 6 euros. We rested on the city beach Dolce Vita, next to the pizzeria Azzuro and opposite the Splendid hotel. Everywhere there are municipal beaches, they are marked, so it is impossible to get lost. There are many cafes and pizzerias on the promenade, we especially liked the Galia cafe, at the beginning of the beach in Becici, something in between a canteen and a cafe, reasonable prices, huge portions, nice and friendly staff. Opposite the entrance to the Mediteran Hotel, past the entrance to the Tara Hotel, a path leads to a tunnel that goes to Budva and leads to the embankment in Budva. You should definitely go through the tunnel at least once, because when you get out, a stunning view of the Budva Bay opens up. Where to go: Skadar Lake - evening program, includes a trip to the mountains, along the Skadar Reserve, a boat trip along the river and lake with refreshments, dinner at the fisherman's hut and a return transfer to the place where you were taken from. All costs 45 euros. It is not worth going to Albania, there is nothing to see there, it is very long and uninteresting. It is worth going to the Bar, you can take the bus from the bus station in Budva on your own, the ticket costs 4 euros, along the way you can admire the stunning views. In Bar, you must see the old town and the port. It was recommended to us as a city where you can buy Italian shoes and bags, but in fact there is nothing to buy there, cheap consumer goods. And it's worth walking around the city. In Budva, you definitely need to walk to the Old Town, to the fortress and to the harbor. Villa Maria is good for relaxing in couples or with friends, they don’t like noise there, but if you want to hang out, you will always be greeted with open arms in restaurants or in Budva, which can be very easily reached. But all places of entertainment close around one in the morning. In general, the rest is excellent, for the same money as in the Crimea, only everything is cleaner, not so dirty, the nature is excellent, the air is humid, the climate is very reminiscent of the Caucasus - Sochi, Gagra, Kutaisi. The air temperature in September was up to +35 during the day, it was cool at night, on average +17, but we even swam in the sea at night. In September there are not many people, the beaches are half empty, but in the evening it will not be boring. Great vacation for normal money on a very beautiful and clean sea with hospitable and very positive people! We will definitely go back there next year.
