Further details...

We spent two years renovating this centuries-old farmhouse and adapting it
for modern life, completing the project in 2010. Local people tell us a famous Orthodox saint by the name of Sveti Stefan Stiljanović was born at our villa. It's certainly fit for a saint now!

Be charmed by original character features like metre thick stone walls to keep you cool in the Mediterranean summer, or the stone archway downstairs, once used for fermenting wine and hanging smoked hams.

With four tastefully decorated bedrooms (each en-suite), Villa Miela can sleep up to 10 if you have small children in the group. Exposed stone details and wooden ceilings and floors add to the charm, but you'll be more focused on the stunning views available outside, offered up by each bedroom and the open-plan living area.

Two bedrooms have balcony access, while the others have private terraces.
The modern kitchen comes equipped with washing machine and dishwasher.

The villa's 40 square metre terrace is perfect for dining, sunbathing, reading a book or even spotting eagles hunting on the rocky outcrop above.

The panoramic views take in the coastal mountain ranges of Sutorman, Bješkeza and Lokvica, the historic fortress of Besac, Crmnica Valley (one of Montenegro's most famous wine-producing regions) as well as the lakeside village of Virpazar and the lake itself beyond.

Outside, beyond the terrace, you will find extensive grounds and a wood below, ideal for kids and adults alike to explore.

Discover Villa Miela's natural spring, wild tortoises in the garden and walk around our natural orchard where you can pick figs, plums, cherries, pomegranates and walnuts rights off the trees.

Local Area Details

Hiking - there's a selection of gorgeous hikes some beginning right at Villa Miela including bat caves rockpools and stunning vistas.
