We loved everything, I have nothing to say that I didn't like.

I loved the place and even more the service. It was my birthday and Sasha made me feel at home, we loved every detail, the dinner was incredible and I even had a massage by the pool. Everything was incredible, gratitude Shasha for being such an incredible human being.. Hvala🙏🏽

It was a bit of a trek up about 150 stairs to get back from town - didn't enjoy that in the heat, but if you want the great views, you need to be at the top of town!! :) Becasue the hotel is so small, there were only a small team of staff - Sacha who managed the check ins/outs, a cleaning lady, a chef, and two young guys who did all the bar and restaurant service. The chef and cleaning lady were great. The two young guys had only been there a month and perhaps lacked a bit of experience and training - things like only being able to make one of the cocktails from the menu so not being willing to accept orders for any of the others! And not understanding the (quite short) dinner menu. At times they seemed too busy or were just not around - e.g. telling people at breakfast they couldn't sit at the tables with the views of the bay and would have to sit further back in the restaurant because they did not have time to clear the tables; and one day during breakfast time we sat down and it was more than 20 minutes before any staff appeared. We had dinner at the hotel on our first evening - the food was good and the views were spectacular, and it could have been a wonderful meal - but unfortantely the service was slow and so chaotic and that in the end it was quite a stressful dinner and we decided to eat out the next day instead. Having said all of this, the guys were unbelieveably friendly and enthusiastic and tried really hard to please, and I'm sure that as they have gained expereince and perhaps had a bit more training, they will be doing a fantastic job - which would make this place perfect.

It is a beautiful property at the top of Perast, with absolutely stunning views from the pool area over the whole bay. There are only 6 rooms so it had a very personal touch and Sacha the owner made a point of speaking to all guests - the hotel seems to be very much his personal passion, and it is beautifully designed. The room was gorgeous, modern and spacious with a fabulous shower and very comfortable, large bed. Cleaning service was excellent and discreet - although we were only out of the room at breakfast for 20 minutes on the first morning, the room was tidied and spotlessly clean by the time we came back. The food we had was very good, the chef was great. The pool area was the highlight, hanging out there in the afternoons with the guys bringing us sundowner cocktails was the highlight of our whole trip. Would definitely recommend this place, and Perast itself, we loved both!

Sasha and his team are marvelous hosts! This place is offering am absolutely stunning view to the bay of Kotor. Rooms are very nice, pool area perfect, breakfast delicious! I loved the privacy and the small size (only 6 rooms). Only a few steps to go to the beach andcto the centre of Perast.

Only hang up was the water pressure for showers. A little erratic but not a showstopper. We always had one in the end

Great location. Relaxing, club-like feel. Great hospitality.

Nothing we didn’t like about the property.

Monte Bay Retreat is so picturesque, ideally located atop the city with sweeping views of the mountains, the sea, a private island, and an island museum just a boat ride away. The moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Sasha, who sat down with us for a drink and introduced us to the facilities and the history of the 300-year-old building he bought from the Monastery next door and lovingly renovated. Our luxurious room had a large patio garden with a decorated gate overlooking the sea. Inside, every detail was taken care of, from the comfortable king sized bed, to the bathtub with a headrest, the Japanese self-cleaning toilet, the high quality stone double vanity, and the waterfall-like dual spray multicolor shower. Breakfast (lunch or dinner also) was served by Chef Nikola, a gourmet experience akin to Michelin star restaurants. The banana bread and French toast were divine. The wait staff Christian and Ivan attended to our every need. Sasha provided an exclusive private dining experience for the guests - not open to the public. After a long day of hiking and touring nearby cities, we often relaxed with drinks at the upper deck, swam in the infinity pool watching boats and cruise ships pass by below. I can’t say enough about our delightful experience celebrating our anniversary. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are planning our next trip back already…for a lengthier stay.

We have been there for honeymoon. It was amazing! It is like a privat place because there are only 6 Rooms who can be booked. They are only cooking for you and no tourists. The food is delicious. The spices are coming directly from the garden. The Bananabread on Breakfast is the best banabread we ever had! It’s not just food. They made Design out of food. The owner is very friendly and takes time for his guests. He loves his job and makes the best cocktails. It is expensive, but in other countries you never get such a great and private hotel for this price like this. Great design, great view… so much to tell about.

Only negative was the pool temperature but unavoidable this time of year.

The hotel was gorgeous, spotlessly clean and the view was incredible. Sasha went above and beyond to make our stay practically perfect. The food was exceptional, highly highly recommend if you can manage to book here!

evening meal at the hotel was expensive compared to other restaurants in the area

Had a wonderful 3 nights at the property in a terrace room. Beautiful hotel with the most amazing views and gorgeous pool area. Sasha constantly went out of his way to be helpful and attentive and arranged a fabulous trip to a winery for us. I would highly recommend staying in this hotel if you want a peaceful and luxurious break in Perast that has that personal touch.

Sasha was an absolutely amazing host - he made us feel so welcome and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Montenegro!

Beautiful boutique hotel in Perast. The views from the pool area over the bay were unbeatable, the room was immaculate & comfortable and Saša, the owner, made us feel extremely welcome. Would 100% recommend.

The beds by the swimming pool gets quickly full, some additional beds could be nice so that every client can enjoy the amazing pool and view in the afternoon. We also wished we had known in advance there was a parking spot in the hotel.

It was as amazing as the pictures. We loved the view, the kindness of the owner and the staff, the room, the breakfast. Definitely worth the price.

The room we got was in the attic and had only a very small window towards the view and the other window was facing the pool. The room was a bit dark. Other rooms seemed to have larger windows towards the view- better to request one Going to and from the center requires negotiating stairs- we liked it as going through narrow alleys. But could be an issue for people of less mobility

Perfect location. Away from the crowd. Excellent hospitality by the owner. Very good breakfast and dinner Roof with pool quite amazing Attention to every small detail in room and surroundings. Which is all very very beautiful .

The hotel was fantastic, it is small, quiet and very relaxing. The staff are amazing, they treat you like family. The pool area and the view is spectacular, we spent most of our time up there. There were enough sun loungers plus spare, and pool towels were provided. We ate dinner at the hotel on one night with an amazing view, great food and no other guests were around, it was like dining on a private terrace. We would love to return one day

Stayed in June 2022

Whilst the hotel and the facilities were great, unfortunately we just didn't find our particular room very practical/comfortable for two people for more than a day or two. It was very dark and quite difficult to see, there was nowhere to hang wet towels/swimwear and the only cupboards were at the far side of the bed in a very dark alcove under the roof. The air con really really struggled and it was very hot and stuffy in the room. We would return to the hotel but would chose a different room next time.

The staff and service are second to none and the sun terrace is one of kind. Great location, great food and amazing views.
