Notes
- Villa Ruza has a fenced off child friendly front terrace. We can provide baby gear including high chairs and cot on request. You can swim in the sea right in front of Villa Ruza. Just around the corner is a safe, gently sloping beach. This is one of the outstanding features of this Villa. The area is very popular with visiting artists who enjoy painting the sea, sky and mountains. There are plenty of opportunities to sail at Porto Montenegro where they have a fleet of J70’s and Blu 26’s available for rent. I can make all the introductions there. There are numerous local places where you can walk in the hills and mountains. If you like architecture then the ancient Venetian city of Kotor is just one local example in the UNESCO protected bay of Kotor.

Ask a questionAbout James Head
Lily and I live in Warwickshire, England. We have an adult son and daughter. We were introduced to Montenegro in 2009 by a friend who has a nearby water front property and we fell in love with the landscape, the culture and the people. We own two properties in Montenegro, both of which are available for holidays. The Stone House, 165 Prcanj (property # 1092464) and Villa Ruza, Donja Lastva (property ref # 8368138). We purchased Villa Ruza in November 2013 when it had been neglected for decades. The renovation began in September 2016 and was finished in August 2017. Our purchase of The Stone House, 165 Prcanj – was documented by House Hunters International in 2013. This was the first ever HHI show filmed in Montenegro. It is Season 64, Episode 8. We want you to have the best holiday experience ever. We have a great team in Montenegro who are there to help you. We are available to help in any way we can with the planning of your holiday.
James Head purchased this House in 2013
Why James Head chose Donja Lastva
We love to be able spend time on or in the sea and that is what front line properties provide. We did not want a view of the sea, we wanted to be able to feel and smell it right at the house. Villa Ruza was derelict, but in a beautiful setting set beside the Church of St Roko and the Cafe Giardino. It just needed some vision and investment which we are delighted we have been able to provide.
What makes this House unique
Villa Ruza looks west and enjoys all day sunshine. Villa Ruza has the most amazing views of the sea and mountains. Villa Ruza is located in the community. Our neighbours are wonderful people who make you feel very welcome. Villa Ruza is secure and child friendly. Villa Ruza is located right on the sea front. Villa Ruza was totally re built and renovated in 2017.
