Villa:
-----------
This villa is located near the Jadran way - the main main street of the city; 10 minutes walk to the sea, 3 minutes to the nearest store, 10-15 minutes to Mega or Maxi markets, depending on the particular store. In general, the location is very good.
The villa is small, but very comfortable: 5 floors (the first one is not residential) with 7-8 rooms on each. We got a small room, but everything in it was without comment. In the presence of fairly new furniture with a double bed and a wardrobe, in the bathroom there is a shower, a boiler, a hairdryer; the room also has a TV, refrigerator and air conditioning. We only used a refrigerator, they didn’t take extra money from us when we checked out, we don’t know about the TV and air conditioner. There is also a fairly large balcony with a table and two chairs + dryer. In general, everything is the minimum necessary in stock.
We didn’t see a safe either in the room or at the reception, but we didn’t need it, because valuables were stored in a closed bag, which, fortunately, was not opened by outsiders during the entire stay. Also on each floor in the corridor there is an ironing board with an iron - also free. There is also a Wi-Fi router separately for each floor, the password is written on the device. Unfortunately, we had problems with the connection and it was not always possible to use internet access from the villa.
The dining room is located on the far side of the first floor and allows you to enjoy your meal outside, as it partially overlooks the courtyard. We took a ticket with breakfast, so we can’t say anything about dinner. Breakfasts are modest, but as varied as possible: scrambled eggs or bacon scrambled eggs, sausages, cheese, tomatoes, pancakes with liver and cottage cheese, butter, jam or chocolate butter, pastries, yogurt, tea and coffee on request. Unfortunately, there were no fruits.
In general, they were satisfied with the villa, minus 2 points on a 10-point scale for problems with the Internet and minor cleaning flaws such as towels that were not always changed and dust residue on furniture. The owner of the villa, Lepa, is a very friendly and sociable woman. By the way, if you need to call a taxi, I advise you to contact her: she will call a service that cooperates with her - with a lower tariff. The villa deserves a "hard three" rating.
Mobile Internet:
--------------------
Having read before the trip on the topic I was interested in, I bought a T-Mobile card for 5 euros and activated the service "1 GB of Internet for 15 days" through the service menu (approximate sequence): * 111 # - "call" - 2 (Moja opcija) - "send" - 3 (Internet opcije) - "send" - 3 (15 dana za 3 Eur) - "send". The service is activated immediately. The settings were installed automatically, 3G worked without problems.
The shops:
------------
I advise you to shop at the Mega market, which is located next to the market (20 minutes walk from the villa).
In smaller shops, prices are higher, sometimes the difference reaches several tens of cents or even euros. In general, food prices roughly correspond to Ukrainian ones, the same applies to fruits. Almost every butcher's shop has a grill where you can cook whatever you order for an additional fee (about 40 cents). Meat in Montenegro is delicious, like pork or veal. Lamb, fish are also available, and you can buy freshly caught fish from the fishermen on the pier.
Meals outside the villa:
---------------
If you want to eat the most economically, I advise Kangaro (located a two-minute walk from the villa on the left before entering the Jadransky path) or L & M (located a little further from the Mega market, which was discussed above). If the question of price is not worth it, I can recommend Jadran on the waterfront. In general, there are a lot of places where you can have a bite to eat in Budva. Portions are often large, so often one is enough for two.
Also, on every corner, various fast food is sold in large quantities (pastries, pizza, gyros, hamburgers, etc. )
Beaches:
--------
The main beach of Budva is Slavyansky, I strongly advise against it because of the huge number of people, poor entry into the sea, as well as the presence of walking sellers of raspberries / donuts / Chinese glasses, etc. I recommend the sandy Mogren beach, which is located to the right of the old part of the city. However, it is far to go to it + it is surrounded by rocks, so it is best to visit it in the morning. In the afternoon, a lot of indigenous youth pour out onto the beaches from all over Montenegro and not only, so don’t count on calm lying (they have fun and yell, by the way, until 2-4 a. m. , so people with light sleep may have problems). Sea urchins are common so special footwear is highly recommended. I also recommend the beach of the village of Becici as less crowded and cleaner than Slavic.
I advise you to climb the citadel (2 euros) - wonderful views of the whole city open from there. You can also walk to the villages of Bechii and Rafailovichi. We went further - in three hours we reached the well-known island of Sveti Stefan, but you can also get to it by bus, there are stops along the entire Jadran route. Of the excursions, I recommend a sea cruise along the Boka-Katorsky Bay (25 euros), as well as canyons (35 euros). Unfortunately, it was not possible to go to Skadar Lake (28-35), but I would very much like to. We also visited Albania (35), I advise you to buy in a store on the border from Albania (there will be a stop) their well-known Skanderbek cognac (7-10 euros for 0.7 liters, depending on the exposure), olive oil (4 euros for 0.5 liters - cheaper than in the Mega market). During the tour of the canyons (there will be a stop), I advise you to buy forest honey (10 euros per liter) - I have never tasted tastier.
Prices for other excursions: Dubrovnik (Croatia; a Schengen visa is required) 55 euros, Ostrog-Cetinje - 25, Bar Ulcinj - 25, Rafting - 65, Bosnia-Herzegovina - 55. All the above prices are from travel agencies located on the promenade Budva, guides are 10-30 euros higher, so I advise you to take excursions from third-party agencies, as we did.
Gifts and gifts:
--------------------
I want to warn you right away about what they themselves ran into: the duty-free airport in Tivat is very small and with prices twice as high as the Mega market, so I advise everyone to buy back in the city. Unfortunately, it was not lucky to buy especially interesting souvenirs in Budva, since nothing remarkable was found. From food and drinks, I advise national dried meat "prshut", cheese "Negushsky", red dry wine Vranac (bottled by the state enterprise Plantaze) not lower than Pro Code (the cheapest ordinary I do not recommend), dry white Krstac, Macedonian brand Bovin, Serbian Regent , Montenegrin beer Nikshichko.
