Villa Pietra

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Villa Pietra? It’s tucked away on this little street – Alekse Šantića – that most tourists probably walk right past without thinking twice. I mean, it’s literally steps from the main Budva buzz, but somehow feels completely removed from all that chaos. The building itself has this understated charm that grows on you – nothing flashy, just solid stone work that actually lives up to the “Pietra” name. When I rolled up with my overpacked suitcase, the check-in was refreshingly straightforward, none of that overly formal hotel theater you sometimes get.

What really won me over was how the place just… works. The rooms are exactly what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – clean, comfortable beds that don’t creak when you move, and honestly, the air conditioning actually keeps up with those brutal Montenegro summer afternoons (trust me, you’ll appreciate this). The bathrooms aren’t huge, but they’re well thought out, and the water pressure is decent enough for a proper shower after a day exploring the old town walls. I loved that you could hear just a hint of the evening activity from the main streets, but it never kept me awake – there’s something about the way the building sits that buffers most of the noise. The staff clearly knows their stuff about Budva too; when I mentioned wanting to find a good spot for sunset photos, they didn’t just point me toward the obvious tourist overlooks but suggested this little path near Mogren Beach that most guidebooks miss entirely.

Here’s the thing about Villa Pietra – it’s one of those places that gets the balance right. You’re genuinely close to everything that matters in Budva (the old town is like a 5-minute walk, maybe less), but you’re not paying those premium prices you’d shell out for the waterfront hotels. The whole area comes alive in the evenings with locals heading out for dinner, so you get that authentic neighborhood feel without being stuck way out in the suburbs. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra night because… well, why complicate a good thing? The 8.3 rating makes perfect sense when you experience it – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just delivering exactly what a smart traveler wants from a Budva base. If you’re the type who’d rather spend your money on great meals and experiences instead of lobby marble, this place totally gets it.

Best hotels in Budva range from charming boutique properties in the historic old town to elegant beachfront resorts with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and surrounding mountains.

Reviews

• Very Good – Anonymous from Azerbaijan – July 15, 2025 (8/10)

  Very sincere staff. Food of the restaurant was amazing. Breakfast was great with many options. The location was great, 200-300meters aways from the amazing beaches. We enjoyed our stay there.
  
  What could be improved: The pillows were so thin. Could rarely sleep. The bath cabin's door was malfunctioning, couldn't close it. Unfortunately there was no shampoo in the bathroom.

  Maalesef hiçbirşeyini beğenmedik
  
  What could be improved: Tesis günlük oda temizliği yapılmıyor, yan odanın kliması neredeyse bizim odanın içinde gibi çok yakında sesinden uyumak sıkıntı idi. Kahvaltı çok zayıftı yenmez dışardan peynir ekmek alıp yedik

• Fair – Erkoyun from Turkey – July 9, 2025 (5/10)

  Rezervasyon ile otopark otele 300 metre mesafeden. Otelin önünde aracınız ile durmanız imkansız. 300 metre valiz taşıyorsunuz. Otelin altında restoranı var. Ama kahvaltı berbat ötesi. Odalarda şampuan yok. Odalar çok küçük. Mini bar ve saç kurutma yoktu. İsteyince getirdiler. Odada tuvalet kağıdı bile yoktu.
