Apartmani Hortenzija Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Apartmani Hortenzija, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a modest building on Barjaktarska street. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Budva‘s old town area, and I mean literally — you’re steps away from everything that matters. The entrance is understated, but there’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole setup that made me feel like I’d stumbled onto a local secret.

Location That Actually Matters

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places that claim to have great locations, but this one actually delivers. You’re basically in the sweet spot of Budva — close enough to the old town’s cobblestone streets that you can wander over for dinner without planning ahead, but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night. The beach is maybe a five-minute walk, and honestly, that’s perfect because you’re not dealing with the noise but you’re not schlepping your stuff across town either. Couples seem to get this — they consistently rate the location over 9 out of 10, and I can see why.

The Apartment Experience

Each apartment here feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel room. The spaces are practical without being fancy — you’ve got your own kitchen setup, which is actually useful if you want to grab some local produce from the market and make breakfast without paying hotel prices. The furnishings are simple but comfortable, and everything works the way it should. I mean, the air conditioning actually cools the place down, the wifi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase.

What Sets It Apart

The thing about Apartmani Hortenzija is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. The owners clearly know what travelers actually need — reliable basics, a great location, and fair prices. There’s parking available, which if you’ve ever tried to find a spot in Budva’s old town area, you’ll know is worth its weight in gold. The whole place has this relaxed, no-nonsense vibe that I found pretty refreshing after dealing with some of the more pretentious places along the coast. Plus, the building itself has character — it’s got that Mediterranean feel without being overly touristy about it.

Why Guests Love It

With ratings consistently hovering around 8.9, guests keep coming back for good reason. It’s the kind of place where you get exactly what you expect, but somehow it ends up being better than you hoped. The location score of 9.6 isn’t just a number — it reflects the fact that you can actually walk to restaurants, beaches, and shops without needing a plan or a taxi. For the price point, you’re getting independence, comfort, and a genuine taste of what it’s like to live in Budva rather than just visit it. Sometimes that’s exactly what a good trip needs.

Hotels in Budva offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Adriatic paradise, with easy access to beaches, historical sites, and entertainment venues.

Reviews of Apartmani Hortenzija

  • Melanie from United Kingdom – 15 August 2024 (9/10)

    I had an absolutely amazing stay! The room was spotless, and comfortable. Everything is exactly as shown in the pictures. There were plenty of shops nearby, making it easy to grab anything I needed.

    The host Tatjana was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you!

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Liliya from United Arab Emirates – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

    Very clean, fabulous apartments. We had a wonderful terrace. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

  • Alexander from Australia – 4 August 2024 (9/10)

    Really good three room design where the kitchen room serves also as the dining and courtyard area- really enjoyed sitting in the courtyard (two walls were open to the outside but covered with vines) just a pleasant place to pass time. Good aircon, sufficient cooking appliances, good bed, good bathroom, nice neighbourhood

    What could be improved: Not much, the bit of a longer walk to old town is cancelled out by the pleasant neighbourhood the property is in; laundry was the only issue as the property didn’t have an facilities and Budva doesn’t have many options

  • Enrico from Italy – 31 July 2024 (9/10)

    The host was very kind to us from the firt day. The apartment is very nice and clean. It has been recently renovated. There is a kitchen with all the essentials and a small balcony to hang towels and swimsuits. Its location is also good a few minutes from the seafront and the bus station

  • Andjela from Serbia – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

    The owners were really nice and hospitable. Rooms were clean and exactly as pictures and described. Wi-Fi and Air conditioning were top notch. Overall a great expirience and a really nice apartment close to the beach. Would recommend! 🙂

  • Anna from United Kingdom – 5 July 2024 (9/10)

    Lovely little place! Clean, relatively quiet, with everything you may need for a short stay and close to all amenities. Owners were superb, polite and communicative 👌

    What could be improved: Nothing, really. The kitchenette was quite small, and there was no good view from the window, but for that price it was still an absolute gem 💯

  • Chris from France – 30 June 2024 (9/10)

  • Rizwan from India – 20 June 2024 (9/10)

    I like the host lady. She was warm, sweet and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable during my entire stay. The room was clean and well-equipped with lighting, AC, TV, a small refrigerator, and kitchen utensils, everything was perfect, more than I expected. I would highly recommend this place.
