Amazing family holidays are at the core of what we want to achieve at Villa Ruza. Glad the garden was looking great too. We have terrific gardners who do a great job with the help of an automatic irrigation system.

About the neighbourhood
You can swim in the sea right in front of Villa Ruza. Just around the corner is a safe, gently sloping beach. The Church of St Roko is our other neighbour. I recommend you look inside. Don Nikola (the priest) is very welcoming. The church bells ring between 07:00 and 22:00 daily. On the hour and every half hour. It is all part of the charm. The area is very popular with visiting artists who enjoy painting the sea, sky and mountains. There are plenty of opportunities to sail at Porto Montenegro where they have a fleet of J70’s and Blu 26’s available for rent. I can make all the introductions there. If you like architecture then the ancient Venetian city of Kotor is just one local example in the UNESCO protected Bay of Kotor.
Getting around
Once you book your holiday with us I will share the House Book which provides loads of information on how to get around. If you need an airport transfer, or you want to go on a trip deeper into the country then I can arrange that for you. If you are planning your holiday in the peak months of July and August then I would not hire a car. You can order a taxi which will collect you from Villa Ruza with 10 minutes notice. You can also travel on the local 'Blue Line' bus which costs €1 per person for as far as you want to travel on that bus. There is a bus stop 100 meters from Villa Ruza, and you can pretty much get off where you want.
