Villa Old Mill Retreat

VILLA DETAILS

The Old Mill Retreat villa is an authentic, stone built country mill, 400 years old. This extremely charming and attractive Montenegro holiday home was renovated by its British owners in 2015 and was transformed into a luxurious villa with a large pool, WiFi, air conditioning and all the modern conveniences. There is 250 square metres of living space, a large sitting room and a modern kitchen. The beautiful sea view from the villa, a covered dining terrace, outdoor summer kitchen and a pretty Mediterranean garden with a large pool add to the luxury standard of this romantic family villa. There are five stylish, individually furnished, air conditioned bedrooms and five shower rooms. The villa sleeps ten people but has capacity for an additional two children (under 10 years) on folding beds. In two of the bedrooms, the beds can be separated into two single beds.

This large Montenegro villa with pool is close to the UNESCO listed ancient walled town of Kotor, a cradle of Montenegrin seamanship and a gorgeous place to visit. The villa's location on the Lustica peninsula means that you are surrounded by natural beauty, numerous sandy beaches, unspoilt villages and great restaurants serving delicious fresh sea food and fish. If you are after nightlife and shopping, set off for nearby Porto Montenegro, where there is also a superyacht marina. We highly recommend you also visit the beautiful small town of Perast.

Old Mill Retreat is a pet friendly villa and it accepts dogs of all sizes. The garden is fully enclosed and gated. There are 80 shallow steps descending from the parking to the villa, which makes it a long but gently sloping pathway. You can park two cars in the villa grounds.

The eco conscious owners say that all the water is brought to the village, and is generally scarce in the region of Lustica. For environmental reasons you could assist by only running full loads in the dishwasher and the washing machine.

The villa also provides two feeding chairs and two baby cots, hairdryer, five safes, a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board.
