The Montenegrin Dream
OUR STORY
Having visited Montenegro in 2018, our family were captivated with the area, finding many parts reminiscent of our home countries of Scotland and New Zealand.
Tony and Elaine fell in love with the 400 year-old heritage property immediately, (despite Elaine being unable to view the home prior to purchase!) and the decision to make this their holiday home to share with family and friends, is undoubtedly going to bring so much joy, to so many.
This is a family home and we invite you to make it your home during your stay. We know you’ll treat it with love and care, and above all we hope you enjoy and have fun.
— The Halligan Family (Tony, Elaine, Sam and Izzy)

★★★★★
“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 separate bedrooms, each with an ensuite every room as lovely as the others. Our whole party loved our stay & cannot imagine staying at a nicer villa anywhere.”
