Villa Perla Di Mare Budva

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Villa Perla Di Mare? It’s tucked away on Mainski put, which honestly feels like a little secret even though you’re still in Budva proper. I mean, most people think they need to stay right in the Old Town chaos, but this spot actually gives you breathing room while keeping everything walkable – and I’m talking a genuine 10-minute stroll to Slovenska Plaza, not some inflated “walking distance” nonsense.

The place has this quietly confident vibe that I really appreciated. It’s a 3-star property, sure, but they’re not trying to be something they’re not, and that translates into genuine attention to detail instead of flashy amenities that don’t work properly. The rooms are clean and comfortable with that Mediterranean simplicity that actually helps you relax – white walls, decent air conditioning (crucial in summer, trust me), and balconies where you can hear the sea if you listen past the occasional scooter. What I loved is that it feels like staying at someone’s well-maintained guest house rather than a corporate hotel. The staff genuinely seemed to care about whether you found what you needed, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how rare that is along the Budva coast.

Here’s the thing about the location that took me a few days to fully appreciate – you’re positioned perfectly for both beach life and exploring. Jaz Beach is an easy drive if you want something less crowded than the main strips, and you’re close enough to the marina that you can grab those early morning coffee walks before the tour groups descend. The neighborhood itself has a few local spots where you can grab groceries or a quick bite without paying tourist prices, which honestly saved me quite a bit over a week-long stay. Parking was never an issue either, which anyone who’s circled Budva’s old streets looking for a spot will tell you is worth its weight in euros. The 8.5 rating makes complete sense to me – it’s the kind of place that does the fundamentals really well without any unpleasant surprises, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re trying to actually enjoy your vacation instead of managing hotel problems.

  The staff was very friendly and welcoming . The room was very clean, big and nice. I was super happy because i asked for a small birthday surprise and they had prepared very nice surprise for us, with balloons cake and wine. It was perfect!! I highly recommend this hotel.

• Friendly Host and Great Location – Anna from United Kingdom – May 15, 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel owner was incredibly friendly — he greeted us personally and gave helpful information. The rooms were clean and bright, with a balcony. A tasty breakfast was served. Walking distance to both the Old Town and the beaches. Highly recommended!

• Excellent service and very kind staff, great VFM – Dana from Israel – May 1, 2025 (10/10)

  The receptionist was very kind and helpful and the service was excellent!! he even carried our luggage.
  The room had a sofa in it which was good and the bed was very comfortable. The size of the room is fine for two people.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast was fine but it would be nicer if the hotel add more fresh vegetables (there were only tomatoes).

• An excellent place to stay with an excellent host. – Lorne from United Kingdom – April 23, 2025 (9/10)

  Hotel Perla di Mare is located about 30 minutes walk from the Old Town in Budva, but only 10 minutes walk to the bus station for day trips to places like Kotor and Cetinje (buses every 30-60 minutes). The local bus for Sveti Stefan goes every 15 minutes from the main road through Budva and the nearest bus stop is roughly 10 minutes walk from the hotel.
  
  The hotel is run very well by Semih, his wife and father in law. Semih deals with reception, admin and breakfast, his wife cleans the rooms and his father in law does the maintenance where possible. Semih is very friendly, speaks excellent English and, as a former chef, cooks an excellent breakfast. I will miss his morning omelettes. The hotel is spacious, well furnished and very well decorated. The breakfast room is particularly nice. Breakfast is buffet style and is served between 8-10am. There is a lift covering all four floors. The rooms and front door are operated with a key card system. There is no 24/7 reception, so you need to make Semih aware when you are intending to arrive. Otherwise, you can come and go as you please with the key card. Good supermarkets and takeaway food (eg. pizza) nearby on the same street. Excellent wifi.
  
  Very good value out of season (mid-April) – only 35GBP per night. The "season" starts mid-May, so unfortunately there are no tour companies running day trips to Lovcen National Park and Albania until mid-May.
  
  Overall, 9 out of 10 for the hotel. An excellent place to stay with an excellent host.
  
  What could be improved: 1 It would be useful to have someone regularly on reception as a point of contact if something went wrong (eg. in the evenings).
  2 Earlier breakfast time (eg. 7.30am) would be useful for catching early buses.
  3 Breakfast was good, but could be even better with a wider variety of food and drink (eg. juices, fruit, yoghurts). The omelettes, though, were excellent, and Semih went out of his way to buy me juice.
  4 The taxi transfer from Tivat airport can be arranged for 40 euros. Very expensive for what is normally a 30 minute trip.

• Exceptional – Ευστράτιος from Greece – April 20, 2025 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing.
