Vila Panonija

Bay of Kotor


Set back from the waterfront in Dobrota, this old stone house has been converted into a small hotel – or is it a large guesthouse? The stained glass in the breakfast room is a little 'belle époque' but the bedrooms, with their midnight-blue feature walls, are much more modern. Some have balconies; all have en-suite bathrooms.
