We were at the end of June 2023 with a girlfriend and children aged 13.
This is our second time in Montenegro and the second time in Budva. I bought directly from operator Pilon. Villa was advised by the manager for Montenegro. She didn't even advise, but informed that this is the only option left for the price-quality ratio, to have 2 rooms in the same hotel, since they were bought a week before departure.
The rooms were next to each other on the 3rd floor with small balconies. I will not describe the villa itself, because there is enough information about it on the Internet - it was not difficult for me to find everything I was interested in (on the same website of the Pilon operator, everything is specifically described - what rooms, what balconies, what kind of kitchen is on each floor. . . )
It is clean, the furniture is new, all plumbing works, everything you need is in the room.
WiFi works fine.

They did not cook in the kitchen, only used the kettle. There are all the necessary dishes.
Inconveniently installed air conditioner
There is a large supermarket nearby, a fruit/vegetable stand, a bakery, a bus station, a pharmacy - the location is good.
Bed linen was changed 1 time in 12 days, towels 2 times, although they should have been 3.
The sea is far away, we only went to Mogren.
We had lunch or dinner in cafes/restaurants or in the dining room at the Aquarius Hotel 3* - delicious, there are almost no people and the price compared to cafes in the old town (from 10-14 euros per dish on average and from 8 euros for an alcoholic cocktail) is very pleasant - for soup + vegetable salad + dorado fish/seabass + potatoes = 6.9 euros, for meat complex = 5.9 euros
From the bus station, you can get to Kotor for 4-5 euros by regular bus, which runs every 10-15 minutes, but it is better to buy a ticket in advance (a couple of hours). If you return from Kotor to Budva in the evening, it is also better to take a return ticket immediately upon arrival in Kotor.
A colleague with a child also rested, but she lived separately in another hotel, Boja Radjenovic Villa 3* - she doesn't have very good reviews, primarily about the owner - an unpleasant woman, although she personally had no conflict with her. But this hotel is very well located and very close to the beach.
Will I come back here again - if the same situation arises, then yes. But the hotel in which they rested last year and wanted to return to this Ljumovic Villa 2* is much better, closer to the sea, more spacious, with a beautiful view of Budva.
Of the minuses - departure back to Kyiv at 5:00 p. m. , check-out from the hotel by 11:00 a. m. They could not extend the room for an additional fee, it was already sold, but you can leave your things on the first floor and still be on the beach all day. We rented another room in another hotel next to the Aroma market and gathered there after the beach on the day of departure.
