Apartments Vanja Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Apartments Vanja, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in understated packages. This family-run place on XVIII ulica sits quietly in one of Budva’s most sought-after neighborhoods, and there’s something refreshingly authentic about it that the flashier hotels just can’t match.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s the thing about location in Budva — everyone claims to have a great spot, but Vanja’s actually delivers. You’re close enough to hear the buzz of the Old Town without dealing with the late-night party noise that can drive you crazy elsewhere. I mean, couples consistently rate this area 9.5 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. The beach is an easy walk, but you’re also positioned perfectly for exploring the quieter side streets where locals actually hang out. Plus, having parking sorted in Budva? That’s honestly worth its weight in gold during peak season.
The Apartment Experience
What sets Vanja apart is that you’re getting a proper apartment, not just a cramped hotel room. The space I stayed in felt lived-in rather than sterile — comfortable furniture, a functional kitchen that actually had everything I needed, and windows that let in that gorgeous Adriatic light. The owners clearly put thought into the details, from decent Wi-Fi (crucial for staying connected) to having enough storage space that you can actually unpack and settle in for a few days.
Why the High Ratings Make Sense
That 9.9 rating isn’t just a fluke — it reflects what happens when a property focuses on doing the basics exceptionally well rather than trying to be something it’s not. The family running this place genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in small ways. They’re quick to respond when you need something, they know the area inside and out, and they’ll give you recommendations that actually make sense for your travel style. It’s the kind of hospitality that feels natural, not scripted.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Look, Apartments Vanja won’t wow you with a fancy lobby or a rooftop pool, but it’ll give you something better — a genuine taste of what it’s like to live in Budva rather than just visit it. You’ll wake up in a neighborhood where people actually live and work, grab coffee at the corner café, and feel like you’ve discovered something the tour groups haven’t found yet. For travelers who want comfort, authenticity, and a location that puts you right in the heart of things without the tourist trap markup, this place hits all the right notes. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that feel like home rather than a hotel — and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.

Apartamento completo, limpo, cheiroso, só acho que 1 sofá cama deveria estar na sala ao invés do quarto, e o banheiro poderia ter um tapete ou algo para não escorregar dentro da banheira, uma pessoa do nosso grupo até Machucou por isto. Mas somente isto, o restante é perfeito
