A taxi into the Local town of Tivat with shops, restaurants and bars for every taste and budget is 5 to 10 Euros, including the spectacular Superyacht Marina of Porto Montenegro.
Other local attractions include the World Heritage Site of Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor), Kotor Old Town, Perast and the Ostrov monasteries, walking and hiking trails across the Vrmac and Lovcen mountains, Lovcen national park, and a variety of beaches and beach clubs. We are delighted to announce yet another reason to choose Palma Gora for your holiday. Our lovely neighbour Elaine is a professional chef with an excellent pedigree. She worked as a chef on private super yachts for eleven years, owned a Thai restaurant in Mexico and has cooked in many exotic locations. Having sailed into Boka Bay one day she was so overwhelmed by the natural beauty that she decided to settle here in Montenegro. We are of course delighted that she chose to buy a part of the farmhouse next to us. Elaine can shop, prepare and present meals for you if you have had a tiring day out or simply want to treat yourselves. Look at her website , Cooks of Kotor, to see the range of services on offer but she does get very busy during the peak summer season so be sure to book early on . In addition to providing a private chef service, Elaine will prepare a meal for your arrival and leave it in the fridge so you do not need to worry about cooking on the first night. If you are interested in this service I will put you in touch with Elaine, who will send you sample menus and prices.
If you are thinking of hiring a car, we have a local car hire company, just a mile down the hill, who will be happy to help our guests. Let us know and we can put you in touch.
We also have an excellent taxi driver who can arrange airport transfers or general travel around the area. Again, let us know and we can put you in touch.
Schöne Lage am Berghang und guter Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung von Kotor. Das Appartement und der Pool sind sehr zu empfehlen und die Betreuung durch Chris und Vesna war hervorragend! Gerne wieder!
Lovely, clean property away from the hustle and bustle. The pool and beautiful views are a particular highlight. It was the perfect spot for a week of relaxation. Greg was very welcoming, helpful and easy to communicate with.
My trip was wonderful from start to finish. Prior to our holiday the owners provided us with lots of information on what to do and see, we received a welcome pack via email, which is also in the apartment, but the advantage of having it before we set off meant that we were able to prioritise our trips in advance. All of our questions were answered and useful phrases and numbers were a great help. On arrival we were welcomed by Vesna who showed us around our apartment and again answered all of our questions. Overall I felt very welcomed and looked after, which took away all the stresses of being in a new country.
The apartment itself was clean, tidy and spacious. The bathrooms were modern and pleasant and there were stunning views of the mountains everywhere you looked, whether swimming in the pool, BBQ-ing on the terrace or getting some water out of the fridge, the scenery was breath-taking. The apartments are high up a steep winey road, which was fun to walk up and down once, and there are some beautiful walking trails which are fun to explore, so take your walking shoes. Overall it was peaceful, charming and picturesque, the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.
Location is great, it is a short taxi ride to the airport, we took a taxi to Tivat in the evenings for dinner and Kotor for a day out, both are recommended and the taxis are very cheap.
