La Vecchia Casa

Top choice in Central Montenegro


With its gorgeous rear garden and pervading sense of tranquillity, this period house captures the essence of old Cetinje. The clean, antique-strewn rooms retain a sense of the home's history, and there's a guest kitchen (stocked with do-it-yourself breakfast supplies) and a laundry.
