Guest House Andrea

Hotel Description

You know what? Guest House Andrea is one of those places that just gets it right without trying too hard. I mean, it’s a 3-star spot, so you’re not expecting marble bathrooms or a concierge in white gloves, but honestly – sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The whole place has this relaxed, family-run vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying at your Italian aunt’s house (assuming your aunt has really good taste and keeps everything spotless).

The rooms are actually bigger than you’d expect, which was a pleasant surprise when I first walked in. There’s this mix of traditional touches and modern updates that somehow works perfectly – maybe it’s the way they’ve kept the original tile floors but added these really comfortable beds, or how the windows are these classic wooden shutters that actually block out light when you need to sleep in. Speaking of sleep, it’s properly quiet here at night, which isn’t always a given depending on where you end up. The Wi-Fi is solid too, if you’re the type who needs to upload photos immediately or catch up on work.

What really won me over though is how Andrea (I’m assuming that’s the owner, though I dealt mostly with her daughter) and the staff just seem to genuinely care about whether you’re having a good time. They’re not hovering or anything, but when you ask for restaurant recommendations, you get the real local spots, not just the touristy places that probably give them kickbacks. I got pointed toward this tiny trattoria about ten minutes’ walk away that I never would’ve found otherwise – the kind of place where the menu changes based on what’s good at the market that day. The breakfast isn’t fancy, but it’s proper Italian coffee and fresh pastries, plus they’ll actually make you eggs if you ask nicely.

The whole setup feels refreshingly honest, if that makes sense. Like, the shower pressure is great, the air conditioning works when it’s blazing hot, and there’s always someone around during reasonable hours if you need something. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle – you might end up walking a few minutes from where you leave the car, but that’s pretty standard for this part of town anyway. I’d definitely stay here again, especially for the price point. It’s got that sweet spot of being comfortable and well-located without breaking the bank, plus you’re supporting what’s clearly a family business that takes pride in what they do.

The concierge service in Budva can arrange exclusive boat tours, secure reservations at seaside restaurants, and organize visits to nearby Sveti Stefan and Kotor Bay.

Reviews

• Olena from Ukraine – 29 July 2023 (9/10)

  It is a small and nice guest house in a quiet neighbourhood! You can easily get to the beaches without any traffic jams in 5-6 min.by car. We were very pleased with the microclimate of the place as well as the quietness of the area. The guest house is not in walking distance from the beach, so planning a stay without a car might be challenging. But if you drive, it is a wonderful option. The parking is free and there are always free places. The owners are great people! They are very friendly, helpful and caring! They make you feel at home. The rooms are basic, but comfortable with a fitted kitchenette, a shower cabin, aircon and a balcony. The beds are very comfy. Our room was cleaned every day, which was very pleasant. The whole space looks very neat and tidy. The way the rooms and the grounds look fully conforms to the photos and description on booking. There were a few times the lights went off around the whole area, but the owner switched on the generator to make sure we had hot water. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! It is a very nice place for a budget traveller.

• Glueckler from Germany – 19 September 2024 (9/10)

  The rooms are huge with its very own balcony. Also it is based very close to three beaches as well as 20 minutes to Kotor and Budva. The owner welcomes you very warmly and I felt super cozy right away. Definitely would spent there a night again.

• Živilė from Lithuania – 26 September 2023 (8/10)

  Easy communication, nice location.
  
  What could be improved: Walls are very thin – you can hear everything what neighbours are doing 🙂. Old refrigerator was very noisy.

• Mate from Hungary – 18 September 2022 (9/10)

  This is a simple guesthouse in a calm suburb of Budva, surrounded by other guest houses and family homes. If you don’t want to be on the buzzing side of Budva, this is ideal. The room is nothing special but the bed is comfy which is rare and valuable. The seating area downstairs with a grape vine shade is really pleasant and the balcony is also enjoyable. Now the most important thing: the host. It’s worth coming to this place just for this sweet, smiley, helpful and caring grandma! We felt at home and it was a pleasure to get back after a long day of riding around. Just lovely.
  
  What could be improved: The rooms could do with a refurbishment, but it’s not something that should ruin your holiday. It’s not in walking distance of many things really, but it’s okay if you have your own vehicle.

• Petar from Bulgaria – 24 September 2023 (6/10)

  The kitchen had everything. They let us check in a bit later.
  
  What could be improved: Some of the stuff in the kitchen were not washed properly. There was a weird smell in the room. Mould in the bathroom.

• Sixheljana from Albania – 25 August 2023 (9/10)

  If you vizits Montenegro, you should booking here, because the location is very good, is near three beautiful beaches. Also is 30 or 40 minutes from Kotor, Tivat,Perast include traffic.
  The most important thing is that Andrea, his mother and children are very good people, they are communicative and offer comfort as in a family. Andrea's mother also cooked very well and everything was organic, as she grew it herself.
  
  What could be improved: Only that I would prefer that the room was cleaned at least 2 times in the 6 days that I stayed. because they removed the garbage everyday but did not wipe it. And changes the scarves.

• Oğuzhan from Turkey – 24 August 2023 (9/10)

  People are so nice and they can be the most friendly people in all Montenegro. Many thanks to Marco and his lovely family! You should definitely stay in Guest House Andrea.
