I found out that last year my boyfriend and I were vacationing at Villa Beba last week when I saw a photo of our room in the brochures : ) Until that moment, we were sure that we lived at Villa Olga, where we bought vouchers ...anyway.
So.
Flight 2.5 hours and we are at the airport in Tivat. Before landing, we circled over the beautiful coast for 15 minutes. Later, the guide explained why...the airport can only take 4 planes at the same time, so we waited in line: )))
From the airport to Budva about 40 minutes.
We arrived, disembarked from the bus, 5 minutes on foot - and here we are at the villa. The hospitable hostess of the villa named Beba, together with the guide, check us into a room on the second floor. We are warned that we are the first tourists in this room, and if there are comments, please contact us immediately.
Obvious advantages of the room:
- spacious
- new furniture and fixtures

- air conditioning, TV (there are a couple of Russian channels), a kitchenette (fridge, electric stove and a set of utensils...
even found a Turk for coffee)
- balcony (table, chairs, clothes dryer). View from the balcony to the backyard garden
Minuses:
- two beds are pushed together instead of one large
- there was no curtain in the bathroom, for 11 days they didn’t attach it to us ...but we got used to it
- the air conditioner did not always cope with the load
Geographically, the villa is located next to the hotel Aquarius. Nearby was a supermarket, a market and the office of our tour operator Pilon, where we bought excursions.
The beaches in Budva are pebbly, sometimes with very small pebbles, the sea is clean and turquoise.
The free beach and promenade are less than 5 minutes walk in a straight line. 5 minutes walk along the promenade to the old town. On the embankment itself, you can find clubs, cafe-restaurants, a small semblance of an amusement park, playgrounds, etc. , etc. There is even McDonald's, but it's better to eat differently. Closer to the old town there is a parking of boats and yachts, for 15-20 euros you can take a boat trip to St.
Stephen.
Swimming went to Mogren beach. Going to it, of course, is the longest (about 15 minutes), it is located outside the old town, but we thought that the beach was worth it. The beach is paid - 1 euro, we somehow managed to go to it for free for 10 days out of 11 - there was just no one at the entrance. Sunbeds and umbrellas on all beaches are paid, for a set of 2 sunbeds + an umbrella you will need to pay about 5-6 euros. We ate in a variety of cafes both on the waterfront and in the old town. Usually managed to keep within 15 euros for two - lunch, 20-25 euros - dinner. I would especially like to mention the Jadran restaurant, one of the oldest in Budva, it is located on the waterfront, there are tables right by the sea, the food is delicious, the prices are standard.

As for excursions, they offer many and different ones: boat trips, trips to national reserves, lakes, monasteries, the ancient capital of Montenegro, rafting ...they also offer excursions to Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Albania.
But tourists from Ukraine should take care of visas at home, otherwise they can simply be removed from the tour at the border.
We took 2 excursions:
- the ancient capital of Cetinje + Njegusi village
- national parks Durmitor and Biogradska Gora + Morac monastery + Tara river canyon (full day)
Both excursions were enjoyable. It is not recommended to take small children to the second, and you should not go to people who are motion sick. Roads in Montenegro with very steep turns, trips on excursions for several hours ...in general, not everyone can stand it.
In general, I would like to say that we were conquered and admired by Montenegro. The most beautiful nature, the cleanest sea, hospitable, but proud locals and prices are still tolerable.
It is worth going there and seeing everything with your own eyes.
