So, Kotor Bay was wildfire smoke filled for our stay, to the point that we checked out after one night and went north to Croatia for clean air. That being said, there were some very good things about the villa: nice pool area, large and well-equipped kitchen, large family room, and a nice view of Tivat (smoke permitting) from the pool and some limited but nice views from the porch. However, there were some downsides: none of the bedrooms are connected to the living area, they all have their own exterior door, so you need to walk outside and up the back porch stairs to get to the living area. They are not well ventilated, especially the bathrooms which do not have a pleasant smell. The grounds really need sprucing up, and weeds were coming up in many places and in many areas the landscaping was nonexistent- so the grounds were rustic, not luxurious. There are a lot of long steps (50) to get down to the villa so if you are not fit or have mobility issues, it will be difficult for you. The town of Rose is only 10-minute drive away, and it is lovely, but the villa really is in the middle of nowhere, and the peninsula is pretty isolated.We have rented many properties over the last 30 years, and this was not the worst one, but I would not call it a luxury villa as it falls short of luxurious but it is serviceable if the many rooms meet your requirements. I would grade it as a B-, not as good as the description says, not a bad place though.

Unforgettable!

Our family reunion in Villa Stari Mlin was simply idyllic. We were 20, but the house, annex, and an apartment of the housekeeper, Marija, were sufficient to sleep us all comfortably. The villa is well equipped for a large group. We all lunched and dined at long tables on the veranda. The well-cared-for pool was a delight for sunning and swimming, to say nothing of the breathtaking view over the Bay of Kotor. We were there in a major heat wave, but the massive stones of the house kept us cool, in addition to the A/C everywhere except the Annex. Marija came every day to take care of the house and watering the garden, often bringing treats like figs from her own garden. We hired a super chef, Elaine Brown, who became a friend we hope to see again. Her food was so good we never went out for a meal. Even the beachgoers came home for lunch! She often cooks for guests at the Villa and can be contacted through the owners. Speaking of the owners, Jonathan and William, they were most helpful in helping me organize this event. They have compiled a very comprehensive guide to the Villa and surroundings, which we received before our departure. On the downside, the road up is hair raising and access to the house involves many steps. On the other hand, it assures more privacy and adds to the Zen aura once you arrive. Our ages ranged from 2 to 93 and we all enjoyed our stay immensely. You will too.

Thank you for a wonderful review. We are so glad that you all enjoyed your stay so much, and thank you for mentioning details like Marija, our wonderful housekeeper, and Elaine, whose cooking has been delighting our guests all season! Also, it's good to hear that despite the steep road to the village and the steps down to the house you were all happy and chose instead to revel in the privacy and the peace of the place. We very much hope to see you back at Villa Stari Mlin if you are ever in Montenegro again!

Merci pour vos aimables paroles, nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour et trouvé la maison confortable et nous espérons que nous pourrons vous accueillir à nouveau au Monténégro ! Bien sûr, vous avez raison de dire que la maison n'est pas située directement sur l'eau, mais elle se trouve à moins de 3 km (4 minutes en voiture) de la plage la plus proche et nous espérons que la vue à 180 degrés sur la baie que offre la position élevée de la maison a compensée le fait que nous ne sommes pas sur la plage dans une certaine mesure.

Wunderschöner Urlaub in Montenegro

Wir waren als Familie mit 3 Kindern (15J und 17J) zu Gast in dieser wunderschönen Villa. Es fehlte an nichts, der Pool war mit 10 Meter perfekt zum Schwimmen, der Blick in die Bucht von Kontor war phänomenal. Schlafzimmer, Küche , Esszimmer , Terrasse - alles sehr schön eingerichtet - wir wären am liebsten noch länger geblieben! Marija und Teodora haben sich sehr liebevoll um uns gekümmert! Vielen Dank!

Great Villa, Great Location, Impressive Country!

This is a really nice villa in a quiet location – lots of character and very well equipped. We were a party of 10 and had a great stay here. The outside space met our high expectations, with great views along the Kotor peninsula. The pool was a bit chilly (as one would expect in May) but after a couple of brisk lengths it was fine! There were enough loungers for all the party and space to move them around to face the sun all day. The housekeeping service was a bonus, Marija called in twice a day and was discreet and efficient. The owners, William and Jonathan sent out some very comprehensive information on the Villa and local amenities prior to our arrival which was very helpful, and they contacted us via email during our stay to check all was ok. There was a couple of little things we needed assistance with and that was taken care of immediately – thank you! We were very impressed with Montenegro; it is a stunning country! There’s plenty enough to see and do: Tivat harbour with the super-yachts and waterfront restaurants, Kotor Old Town, etc and there’s some very decent local restaurants. Overall, our holiday was a big success and Villa Stari was an excellent choice

Thank you so much for such a lovely review; we're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Marija will be very happy to hear that you appreciated her work, as she really takes keeping guests happy and the house in order very seriously. We're sorry that the pool was a bit chilly; well done you for jumping in nevertheless! We hope that we might see you back again soon in Montenegro, and do get in touch directly if you ever feel like another trip, as often we can offer special offers for returning guests.

Amazing in every way.

Wonderful stay at an amazing villa. The views from the pool and outdoor seating area are mesmerising. The way the villa is laid out makes it feel like a boutique hotel, with seperate bedrooms, each with an ensuite every room as lovely as the others. The villa was so well equipped with everything we needed & a great bbq which we enjoyed on a few occassions. Marija the housekeeper was also a great addition to the villa, she went above and beyond to help us on a couple of occassions and it was great to have our rooms and the communal areas cleaned each day. Montenegro is a great country we saw lots of different things and went on some great day trips. Includung to nearby Kotor, Budva, Lake Skadar, a local olive oil tasting, porto montenegro and explored the lustica peninsular, so even though we visited out of season, and the weather wasn’t great there was so much to see & do. The villa owners also provided a great guide about the villa and surrounding area with lots of recommendations that we used. Our whole party loved our stay & cannot imagine staying at a nicer villa anywhere.

Stylish spacious Mill with exquisite views

Old mill which has been tastefully refurbished with all mod cons, and well equipped, with all bedrooms comfortable. All you could want from a villa, with panaromic view of almost the entire Kotor bay. Clean and well maintained by friendly but unobtrusive housekeeper. Car needed for access, but all amenities and popular sites easily accessible. There are few villas I would consider revisiting, but this is probably top of the list.

Tastefully refurbished property on the peninsula on the bay of Kotor

Excellent venue, stylishly refurbished, with all mod-cons and exceptional views of the surrounding bay. Car essential. House and grounds immaculately clean and cared for by very friendly, but unobtrusive lady caretaker. Comprehensive guide on the local surrounds and places to visit. Particularly recommend the local tour or the local olive grower, and other suggestions by the owners. One of the rare places we have stayed in that we would go back to.

It well exceeded our expectations

Villa Stari Miln has been beautifully renovated and is very comfortable with stunning views across the Bay of Kotor and only 30 minutes from the airport at Tivat. There is lots to explore (Kotor is a World Heritage site) and many very good fish restuarants within easy reach. The flora is particularly diverse. The maid service is exceptional and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

This is a very comfortable and well furnished villa. The views of the Bay of Kotor are outstanding. It is in a quiet and beautiful location close to to the pretty seaside village of Rose. The local housekeeper was very helpful and conscientious. The owners put us in touch with a local chef who cooked a special birthday meal for us. A unique and special place.

Large comfortable property with stunning views and great pool

We have spent a splendid and happy two weeks at Villa Stari Mlin. We echo all the previous comments about the fantastic position with the most sumptuous views of the bay of Kotor. The house, too, as others have said, it very well appointed, very comfortable and very permissive of a large group relaxing and enjoying themselves together. We had quite a lot of thunderstorms for which the villa provides grandstand viewing (and transient power outages). We found it tricky to get anywhere such as beaches and towns in the times quoted in the housebook and the comments of others’ simply because at this time of year the roads were very slow. This is no place for nervous drivers! The gardens are beautiful, lovely herbs, lots of butterflies, incredible fresh figs. The swimming pool does indeed have amazing views and Marija is quietly attentive and cheerful. If you are catering for yourselves, supermarkets are well stocked but a drive away. William and Jonathan are fantastic, being so responsive and helpful.

Beautiful villa with stunning views

Location, location, location. The 180 degree views are stunning. We had a lovely refreshing break in this luxuriously comfortable villa. What a treat to have a pool a few strides from our beds for an early morning wake-up swim. We visited Kotor and Rose and went on a boat trip. Montenegro is charming. I would definitely go back to the villa and highly recommend it. So much thought has been put into its restoration in order to preserve its charm.

Breathtaking!

The pictures do not do this place justice! I spent a wonderful week here with friends and family and could not speak highly enough of its facilities, location, and upkeep. A special shout out to Maria and family! Initially what seemed a little isolated you soon realise you are an ideal location for day trips to Tivat, Kotor and budva amongst others, while for me the real charm of this villa is its location on the lustica peninsula. Spectacular views, excellent nearby restaurants and beautiful weather, what more could you ask for. I will be talking about the place for years to come. Thank you to William and Jonathan for such an amazing experience.

Beautiful villla with Amazing views

We stayed at Villa Stari Mlin in September with a group of friends (5 couples). From the photographs on the website we had high expectations and we certainly were not disappointed. The standard of rooms throughout is excellent and we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. The layout of the accommodation allows you to have your own space whilst being able to congregate and chill out as a group in a number of different areas, terrace, pool, dining room, and cosy lounge. We would highly recommend this villa for large groups of families and friends, we would definitely go back. You definitely need a car to get around but Kotor and Rose are close by to experience the local food and friendly people.
