It is a small town in a touristic area, and I was in the winter, so it was very slow and calm, which was exactly what I was aiming for.
Gym is in Portonovi, 80 eur / month. It is small but with a bit of creativity you can do your training. It is very clean and fancy the same time. Parking included in the price.
The only challenges we faced were that the building/address is still relatively new, which made receiving mail a bit tricky (not typically an issue for most people, anyway!), and, confusingly, while the internet was fast enough to do pretty typical things such as streaming movies/music/etc, the signal from the router was not strong enough for our Chromebooks to pick up, although my laptop & our phones had no problem. Weird! (Could very well be a Chromebook issue, to be fair!) It also was a just a little bit shakey for doing video chats, so if you work in some form of consultation/counselor/therapist practice, this is worth knowing (as getting WiFi at a cafe isn't really an option in that line of work!). But I believe most remote workers would be totally fine working here. :)
Overall this place is in a great location, with an *extraordinary* view that we never, ever grew tired of. The bus stop is almost literally right outside the front door, and the ferry to hop over to Tivat is a super close and easy journey, as well. It was our first time in Montenegro and the Herceg-Novi area, and now we are both curious what it's like a little closer to the busy season, when many more things are open. :)
Wonderfully affordable and all of our basic needs were very well-met. Would absolutely send anyone Markus' way and to have a stay in this place.
Thank you very much for everything and for sharing your place with us, Markus & Elisa!
The location in Djenovici is a bit out from Herceg-Novi, but it's simple to hop on the bus and get over there in about 20 minutes (a bus ride is one euro per person!). There is a smaller Idea market nearby, or there is a fancier "Idea Gourmet" market about a ten-minute walk away in Portonovi, but it's considerably more expensive. We were there in the off-season, so many things were closed! But it's such a short walk down to the water/promenade, where in the busier season it's clear there are tons of restaurants and things to enjoy.
It's a modest journey (easy bus ride to the ferry at Kamenari, then catch another bus ride on the other side at Lepetane into central Tivat), but after doing quite a bit of searching for good coffee (not just to have made for us, but for good beans we could buy), we found a great coffee shop in Tivat called Kafeterija Porto. You can buy really nice (even organic) beans, and they'll grind them for you & whatever your needs will be (french press, etc).
