Whoever is interested in living in a quiet, CALM and COZY place, then you should choose Villa Balich!
Villa Balic is a small private house with 10 rooms, four or five of which have a sea view. The rest of the rooms do not have terraces, like the ones mentioned above, but balconies, from which, in principle, you can look in three directions: the mountains, the sea and the neighboring house. =)
This villa is inhabited by 80% of the British and Irish, and the rest belongs to vacationers from Russia and Ukraine. Maybe it is this contingent that leads to such silence in the villa. . . =)
The territory near Balich is not at all large, but very cozy and well-groomed. The hostess, a sweet woman with the corresponding name - Mila, didn’t communicate much with the owner, but every evening she watched how diligently he looked after the green part of the territory, of which there are quite a lot.

The entire territory of the villa consists of two equal parts, separated by a ladder. On one side there is a swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas, and on the other side there are tables where breakfasts are served for those who have them included. You can also eat (dine) at the villa by ordering from the hosts on the mini-menu, but the price is more expensive than in cafes located 5.10 and 15 meters from the villa, where you will be offered a much larger assortment.
It is also worth noting that you cannot dive in the pool, swim with mattresses and similar water accessories, and you cannot sit near it with your own food and drinks, but the latter can be ordered at the villa for a fee. I think that these restrictions should be treated as etiquette, which is adopted in order to make everyone comfortable in the villa, including you! =) Having seen and felt the atmosphere in the villa, you will see for yourself that all this is in place and does not bother you at all. =)
There is a small road in front of the villa, along which a bus runs to Budva every half an hour. We were warned about this in advance and were even a little upset because of the presence of this road, but during the rest we realized that it did not interfere at all - the movement was not at all active. And here you should pay attention to the fact that sightseeing buses do not drive up to this villa due to inconvenience (narrow road), and the tourists of the villa need to climb the main highway, the so-called "Jadransky Put". This, perhaps, is almost the only disadvantage of the villa. But you shouldn’t be too scared of this, because. the main road is located just a three minute walk from the villa through the yards, up the stairs. The only trouble is walking along this very ladder with heavy suitcases on wheels, but with them you can go around the road along which the Budva bus runs. It will take 10 minutes.
As for the sea, then go to it min. 10-15 walking steps, again along the stairs. =) But in spite of this, it also did not cause any discomfort, on the contrary, it was very pleasant to walk around such a nice place and listen to the noise of cicadas. This ladder is shady and very pretty.

I also want to draw the attention of all those who are going to rest in Montenegro to the fact that during our 2 weeks of stay in this wonderful country we traveled a lot of beaches, and were in many cities and came to the conclusion that the most wonderful place for REST is the village. Sveti Stefan, near which the most beautiful beaches are located, and as for the noisy Becici and Budva, you can always get to them by Budva bus, cat. runs every half hour from 8 am to 2 am!
Number. We had a room with a terrace overlooking the sea. In the room: air conditioning, French double bed, 2 bedside tables with two drawers, 2 lamps + main lighting (the room is generally very bright), chest of drawers, TV (2 Russian channels), table, 2 chairs, kitchenette (sink, 2 wardrobes, refrigerator, place for freezing ice, electric stove with two burners, dishes), wardrobe for clothes and shoes. On the floor in the corridor, bathroom and kitchen part of the room - tiles, in the bedroom - parquet and rugs. The bathroom has something like a bookcase on wheels with 4 shelves, very convenient, since there is often nowhere to put bathroom accessories. There is also a large mirror in the bathroom, and when you leave the room, there is also a mirror on the closet. On the terrace - a table, two chairs and a bench.
The room was cleaned every day, but the terrace, in my opinion, was sometimes ignored. The bed was changed every three days, towels - more often.
Well, it seems that everything has been said... ))
I wish you all a good rest and unforgettable impressions in sunny Montenegro!! !
