Villa Ivona is a hotel for those who need good accommodation without overpaying for additional services. And good staff (owners) do everything for the comfort of their guests).

To begin with, in August 2020, when Montenegro was opened for tourists, I realized that if I didn’t fly there, I wouldn’t see the sea this summer) ...We urgently ordered a studio from the tour operator (with a mini- kitchen to cook sometimes) without a balcony (cheaper). This was our second trip to Budva. I was pleasantly surprised by the location of the hotel - close to the center, supermarkets, market, bus stop and the beach. The hotel was located on a quiet street - no one was noisy. When we arrived at the hotel, Igor the owner kindly offered us a room of the best category - larger and with a balcony, because due to the pandemic - there were few tourists in Montenegro and the hotels were not full (by the way, it was room 403, which was written about earlier. At the same time showed the number that we originally ordered.

Of course, we gladly accepted the host's offer and settled in a spacious room with a balcony overlooking the mountains and the roofs of neighboring houses. Yes, there is no elevator, but Igor helped and brought my suitcase to the 5th floor. When we checked out, I just lowered my suitcase sideways down the stairs, which was also normal. Stairs in Montenegro are everywhere, you must understand this - a mountainous country, for healthy and not lazy people, this is an additional opportunity for sports)).

The room has 2 beds, a sofa, a kitchenette with a good set of utensils (we needed a lid for a frying pan - we turned to the owner - he brought it to us) and a mini-fridge (of course, a watermelon would not fit there, but we had enough for a small food stock). By the way, Igor told us that water in Budva can be drunk from a tap, before that we bought water. We, of course, collected and defended water for a day, so that the chlorine would evaporate - good water.
We had lunch and dinner on the balcony, in the morning there is sun, so we had breakfast in the room. There is also a mini dryer on the balcony. Bathroom with shower, shelves (which is important for girls), and enough dryers for towels. There is a hair dryer. But we did not use the hair dryer and TV. Towels were changed daily and cleaned too.

The staff is not intrusive. Igor knows Russian perfectly. And when we forgot our keys in the room, Viber quickly solved this problem with the owner.

At the reception there is even a library-books that you can borrow and read. Sometimes Wi-Fi slowed down.

I added a photo - this is a screen from the video, so the quality is not very good.

I definitely recommend the hotel.
