We flew from Kharkov with the UIA airline. Initially, we ordered a tour for 7 nights, departure in the morning, and a return flight in the afternoon, i. е. took almost 8 days. But 2 weeks before departure, the airline changed the flight schedule, and we arrived in Montenegro at night, and flew back early in the morning, there were 6 full days left to rest.
But this did not overshadow our trip, because. I really liked the country, wonderful nature, mountains, azure sea, and we were lucky with the weather.
We stayed at Villa Susanna. The villa really consists of two buildings, which are located with the letter "G". We lived in the second building (newer), almost all travel agencies on the websites have photos of the rooms of this particular building (I am attaching a photo of our room). Just when ordering a tour, specify which number, because. Each operator has purchased certain numbers, as I understand it. In the first building there are rooms with a bath, and in the second with a shower.

We enjoyed our stay at the villa. The staff is very friendly, the room is clean, the towels were changed three times in 6 days, the garbage was removed every day, we did not check the washing of the floors - it was clean. The room has a TV (several Russian and local channels, but there is no time to watch), a mini-fridge, air conditioning, a hairdryer - everything is in good order. The only thing missing was an electric kettle, we took tea with us. they have heard that tea in Montenegro is tasteless (what they call tea is not tea, but herbal tea). Near the villa there is a small Slavia supermarket, very convenient, they often bought juices, beer, fruits, dairy products there.
The only downside to the villa is the breakfast. The best thing for the main course was an omelette with sausage and three rings of cucumber. The main course always had very tasty bread (like homemade), jam, butter, coffee or tea. In general, it is better to take a tour without food at all, because. there are a lot of places to eat in Budva, and the portions are really big. For example, we dined at the Kangaroo restaurant, not far from our villa, a dish with cold cuts and a side dish (one for two) 7 euros + beer-juice for 2-3 euros.
On the embankment, I advise you to visit the restaurant "Obala", almost all cafe-restaurants have a menu in Russian-English. Here we took pizza (a small one is enough to eat, very satisfying). Another time they took a dish "fish plate" - assorted seafood (24 euros), very tasty (the menu says for two, but there really would be enough for three). Very good service, polite and attentive waiters (in Montenegro, waiters are only middle-aged and older men). We were very lucky with the waiter in Obala, the man is a master of his craft, very attentive, he will advise sensibly, tell everything in detail, and also talk, cheer up, I didn’t want to leave. We even got to know him (Velimir), and then we came to Obala only to see him.
The beaches are all free. There is a place to lie down on your towel, and some of the beaches are full of sunbeds with umbrellas (a set of 2 sunbeds + an umbrella on Mogren beach 9 euros (ordinary plastic ones) and 15 euros (wooden ones with soft mattresses), cheaper on the Slovenian beach). You can go to the beaches near Budva - Yaz, Trsteno, Ploche (10 minutes from Budva, fare 1.5-2 euros).
We were in Montenegro for the first time, we were very satisfied. I wanted to combine a beach holiday and sightseeing - to get information about the country, impressions of architecture, nature. We succeeded, as much as possible in 6 days. : )
