Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Villa Jovana Sea View? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try too hard to impress you, but somehow ends up being exactly what you didn’t know you were looking for. I mean, it’s a 3-star property, so you’re not expecting marble everything and champagne service – but honestly, that 9.1 rating makes perfect sense once you spend a day or two here. The sea views are the real deal, not some glimpse of blue if you crane your neck out the bathroom window. We’re talking proper, wake-up-and-there’s-the-water views that actually make you pause with your morning coffee.

The whole vibe is refreshingly unpretentious. Check-in was smooth (the front desk staff genuinely seem to care about your stay, which you don’t always get), and the rooms have this lived-in comfort that feels more like staying at a well-maintained family place than a sterile hotel. The beds are actually comfortable – I slept better here than I have at some supposedly fancier spots. What I really appreciated were the little things: decent water pressure in the shower, rooms that stay cool without the AC running constantly, and thick enough walls that you’re not hearing every conversation in the hallway. The housekeeping is thorough too, though they tend to come by pretty early if you don’t put the do-not-disturb sign out.

Here’s the thing about Villa Jovana – it gets the fundamentals right without any fancy bells and whistles, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The location works well if you’re looking to actually relax rather than be in the thick of tourist chaos. You can walk to some decent local spots for dinner (skip the hotel restaurant honestly, it’s fine but nothing special), and there’s enough going on nearby that you won’t feel stranded. Parking was surprisingly hassle-free, which anyone who’s driven around coastal areas will appreciate. The pool area is small but never felt crowded when we were there in shoulder season – though I’d imagine summer gets pretty busy. Look, it’s not going to blow your mind or give you Instagram-worthy lobby shots, but if you want clean, comfortable, and genuinely good value with those sea views thrown in, Villa Jovana delivers on what it promises. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that just do their job really well without any drama.

Reviews

  • Sanja from Serbia – 2 January 2025 (9/10)

    Great location and wonderfull host

  • Alena from Russia – 28 October 2024 (10/10)

    The best place to stay in Budva! Apartment with the sea view is mind blowing ❤️
    It’s well situated and just 5 minutes away from the supermarket, 10 minutes from the Old town and all the attractions.

  • Aleksandr from Serbia – 12 October 2024 (10/10)

    Very affable host, speaks many languages, knows the town and provides useful advice. Less than 10 minutes walk from Mogren beach. Even closer to the Budva Center bus stop.

  • Hanne from Finland – 3 September 2024 (10/10)

    The staff in here is very friendly. Rooms are nice and even if your room doesn't include balcony with sea view, there was common balcony, where you can enjoy the views. I recommend this place.

  • Hannah from Germany – 21 August 2024 (10/10)

    The owners are super nice and kind. The location is more than great near the old town and the Morgen Beach!

  • Bogdan from Romania – 18 August 2024 (9/10)

    The hosts are amazing. For the short time we were there, we really felt like home. They gave us some homemade cake, two times actually. It was so good! It's really clean and the view from the balcony is spectacular. I would recommend this place to anyone. The stairs are always a minus, but it's the Old Town of Budva, you should expect it.

    What could be improved: One day our room wasn't cleaned. It might have been because we left a bit later than usual.

  • Sergiy from United Kingdom – 11 August 2024 (10/10)

    Beautiful view! Minutes away from old town and beaches. Very friendly host. Recommended!

  • Kathleen from United Kingdom – 2 August 2024 (10/10)

    The room was clean and neat. The host cleans it everyday and we get fresh new towels and sheets each day.

  • Adam from United Kingdom – 2 July 2024 (9/10)

    Amazing view & great location. Such warm hospitality & delicious cake 🍰 😊

    What could be improved: Noisy neighbours on our first night. A/C in the main room but no A/C in the bedroom (fan provided).

  • Ranka from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 28 June 2024 (10/10)

    Everything was perfect, the location, clean and neat room, balcony with stunning view. Based on the reviews I read before my arrival, I expected a nice place, but I was extra amazed with the owner's kindness and help during our stay in Villa Jovana. Big thank you to Sanja.
