Staff is amazing at this property. Thank you Jelena, Irina and Stefan. They made our stay lovely. The hotel is located in a secluded area which was perfect for us. With that being said, the property itself is run down and falling apart. Hotel is closer to a one star hotel or even a hostel.

Nice hotel

A nice hotel. Quiet, friendly staff, good breakfast is good. The small beach area is private and comfortable. Just about a 10 minute ride to Kotor and 5 minutes to Perast, so convenient location.

Great service, beach, excellent food

Great little hotel with a private beach, and an amazing view of Kotor Bay. The staff are great human beings, and very considerate. The little bay it's in is great because it's somewhat shielded from the boats going through Boka Bay, which you won't find so much at other hotels. The biggest winner was the food. That little kitchen makes an excellent breakfast, both a la carte and buffet, and their dinners are world class, punching way above their weight. I didn't feel like leaving the three days we were there, but Perast is just around the corner which is also lovely, and Kotor itself is easy to get to.

Amazing :)

Amazing hotel, we loved it. Breakfast is delicious - both the buffet, and the items on the menu (especially the ricotta pancakes!). The terraces looking out towards the sea are perfect. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Wish we could've stayed longer! Only tiny issue was that the angle of the shower head got the whole bathroom floor wet - but fine if you use the rain shower instead.
Plus - make sure you get a boat taxi to Kotor (€40 vs €10 for car, but so much more fun!)

Memorable!!!

Our stay in the Amfora hotel was one of the best stays my girlfriend and I have ever had. The view , food , service and attention to detail left us incredibly sad to leave this hotel.

I can't say enough about how everyone at the hotel made us feel special and cared for. We had a special connection with the waiters Damir and Rade who took very good care of us.
Maya who worked reception was so incredibly kind. Her and Jelena arranged our seamless pick up and drop off to Dubrovnik as well as other excursions!

And our 'driver' but now good friend Jovitce was a highlight of our entire european trip.
He stopped at nothing to ensure we were well taken care of , well educated about the area , and followed through on every request during our outings to beautiful areas in Montenegro.

We are left with strong feelings about the Amfora hotel and highly recommend to anyone!!!

Friendly staff - nothing unique about hotel. Facilities in spa poor. Not even a shower for use after sauna. We were very disappointed. Too many steps - 54 up to our room (no.34) no lift. You do not need to forget something! Lots of steps down to “private beach”. Not private. Non residents allowed to use loungers, sometimes not enough for residents. Lots of wasps at breakfast on deck. Most people brought their food inside. Food nothing special. No telephones working in rooms. Sockets not working apparently. Although we were told to dial “0” for reception or room service. Hard with no phone and 54 steps down to order and then back up 54! No decaf coffee available in rooms and certainly not going down for it from bar. Bought our own jar for £7.00! We are both active & fit 71yr olds and travel a great deal. We have never had an alleged 4* hotel with no room phones. Just don’t have an emergency, you can’t call anyone! If you are unfit or asthmatic do not stay here!

Amazing stay! Great hotel situated right by the water about 10km away from Kotor and 4 km away from Perast. Their beach has chairs and beds. Their restaurant is very good and the rooms are very clean. make sure you book a room with seaview, it is breathtaking. What made the difference is the friendliness of the staff. They were so helpful and made us feel at home. Thank you for the amazing and unforgettable stay in the majestic Bay of Kotor

Wonderful location, Great staff.

Excellent staff, excellent food, excellent location. Get yourself a room with a view of the bay, our room had a terrace with fantastic views. Taxis to Koyor are cheap, and Perast is just three miles away. We are in the restaurant twice in three nights and were not disappointed (thank you Alexander). All the staff were grainy and professional. I'd say this is almost the perfect location, away from the crowds, but near enough to Koyor and Perast. Do them both and then retreat to this fantastic little jewel.

We had a wonderful stay, thanks to the great team at the hotel. Many thanks to Maja who welcomed us every day at reception. We at a couple of times at the restaurant and would recommend it. I would say that although smoking is prohibited in the rooms, it was permitted in the reception area, which I found unpleasant.

Perfect for Peace and Relaxation

We LOVED staying at this small hotel. The view of the bay is spectacular, and the property offers many ways to relax and enjoy it. The staff was excellent, and the morning breakfast was very nice. The location was perfect for us...near the old town but outside the hustle and bustle of the old town (aka super tourist zone). The only thing we would change is our room. It was near the staff entrance and could get quite noisy at night and in the AM.

Brilliant small hotel that its difficult to find fault with. Lovely peaceful location. Little private beach, terrace by the sea. Stunning views. Amazing varied breakfast. Conscientious staff. Clean and tidy.
The evening meals weren't of a high standard which is why I only gave a 4/5 for hotel facilities but they were adequate and we ate there two of the seven nights so it wasn't at all bad.
I would highly recommend this hotel for a quiet stay in Montenegro. If you hire a car, the tourist towns of Perast and Kotor are a short drive away, easily done by taxi or there is a bus stop 50 yards from the hotel. There's also a corner shop too so you can top up on bottles of water etc for your day trips out.
We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return to this hotel.

Beautiful stay, stunning views

We stayed at Casa del Mare Amfora for five nights in the first week of June for our first visit to Montenegro. We had a wonderful stay, the hotel is perfectly situated below the main road by a beautiful and calm pebble beach with one of the most beautiful views we’d ever seen out over Kotor Bay. Hotel service was great, breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant with ocean views was very good, do try the local rosé wine. We found the location perfect, 5 mins taxi to Perast (beautiful town, our favourite for dinner by the seaside) and 10 mins taxi to Kotor, a taxi was under €10. There is a bus stop just by the hotel but local buses dont run very often and times are a bit irregular. There is a small shop just around the corner where a very friendly lady sells all the basics.
Our room had a terrace towards the mountains, still a nice view but if you can get a terrace towards the sea do so, as the view is stunning. Our room was very spacious, perfectly clean and had everything you’d need. The only thing that could be improved is the wifi which wasn’t great in rooms but was currently being fixed.
We can really recommend Casa del Mare and will be coming back. Early June was a great time to go, weather was amazing and nowhere was overcrowded.

lovely staff and amazing views

The hotel is great, its away from the city and right off the main road. The location is more private and there is no noise to keep you up at night. The views from the restaurant are amazing, both of the mountain as well as of the bay area. All of the staff was super nice and the breakfast options were great. The only thing i don't like is that guests smoke near the entrance, if you are a non-smoker this really gets to you. Being that the hotel is away from the city you have to take a taxi which costs around 7 euros. If you want to be able to walk to other places this is not for you.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a great stay in Kotor.

Choose a room with a sea view

Loved the view and being able to swim in the sea just outside this small hotel! It's the view that makes this place special, we were so glad we booked a room looking over the sea (the \"mountain view\" rooms look towards the mountains but really the view is of surrounding buildings and the parking lot). Our only frustration was the stray cats. Impossible to enjoy a meal if you're not partial to cats, they pestered us at both the outdoor and indoor tables. Otherwise a great stay!

Our room not available after 28 hours of flying

I booked over 6 months in advance! When we arrived at the hotel we were told they had a plumbing problem and had tried to email me and call me. I am a travel agent with my own business of over 30 years. I reply to over 50 emails a day even on holidays and travel with my phone I didn't receive an email or call. We flew from Australia for 28 hours and drove for more than 2 hours and caught a ferry for 3 hours to get to Kotor. There was 3 adults my husband and myself and a girlfriend of mine. We booked a 2 bedroom suite with sea view and large terrace. We were offered a studio with mountain view and a single sofa bed at the foot of our bed for my girlfriend. This was totally unacceptable so we were then offered 2 rooms for the first night and move to a sister hotel on a main road for the second night. We rejected these as we wanted to unpack and enjoy an ocean front hotel for 2 nights. We went to the new Hotel Majestic in Budva and had a wonderful time, make up your own mind on this hotel.

what a view!

We arrived in anticipation of bad weather but this did not affect our stay. We had booked a sea view suite with balcony, which was stunning. The hotel is lovely and facilities in room very good. Situated in a quiet location, this is a very picturesque part of the bay of Kotor.
The breakfast selection is excellent. We sat by the water's edge as the predicted rains did not materialise - it's just so restful here.
In the evening we booked to use the jacuzzi and sauna. The jacuzzi gave us some problems with the remote functions, but we got there in the end as we had to keep stepping out to the reception for help, which impacted on the experience. The spa room where these facilities are located would benefit from a water dispenser, or just a jug of water with cups - when you are dehydrating after a sauna, these are obvious omissions to a visitor as you don't know until you book the room that these are not there.
We had lunch at the hotel, which was not good - way too much cream on the pasta and the black risotto was odd - the flavours were confusing. But the service was good and I would just try something else next time.
Other feedback re hotel would be that the shower in the room could do with updating and the sink was cracked. Not a deal breaker, but the difference in luxury ratings for a hotel which has been taken over by a group that can address such issues.
We booked for one night only, but would definitely return. All in all, it's a little gem and we loved it. Gorgeous!

A fantastic and peaceful place...enjoy

This was a fantastic hotel. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by the nicest people. Sandra and Sasha in particular were amazing throughout. The views out to the bay are even better than the pictures suggest. The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms are basic but very clean. I would highly recommend styling here as opposed to kotor as it is such a relaxed and chilled out atmosphere. The terrace at the front is very cool and there is a private pebble beach as well. Food here is some of the best we have had, in particular the black rice and pas ta baxed dishes. Breakfast was a la carte but you can order what you likw, I preferred this to a buffet as you get quality food. Seriously, the sea facing hotel is one of the best we have stayed at. A tranquil and awesome holiday made even more special by the staff. Thanks to everyone at the hotel

Beautiful views of the Bay

This was one of our favorite hotels in Montenegro - the views of the bay were stunning! The room was also very big with a little area with sofas and arm chairs to relax. But the view is what we appreciated the most! Breakfast was served downstairs and gave buffet options of fresh veggies with smoked fish (which my husband loved) along with fresh bread and prosciutto you could slice on your own. They also provided hot a-la carte items you could order which were complimentary.

The hotel is located 15-20 minute drive from Kotor in Orahavec, but we loved the fact that we weren't in the main city and had a great place to relax and enjoy the views without all the traffic and tons of tourist buses in the main city as well as cruise ships coming into port to drop hordes of tourists per day.

We also visited Budva but backtracked to this hotel because we didn't want to stay in such a busy area with nightclubs and noise. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful as well.

I would highly recommend this hotel and stay again if we return to Montenegro!

Amazing stay at this beautiful cosy hotel!

Our stay at Casa del Mare - Amfora was absolutely perfect! Beautiful small and cosy hotel right at sea/fjord with the most amazing views and everything of good quality, from facilities to food and drinks. Staff were really service minded, helpful and pleasant. Hotel has its own lovely beach with service, so we could order refreshments and relax on the beach loungers. Breakfast was so good, both buffet and from the menu on order. Food at the restautant was delicious and we ate all our dinners there, were not tempted to eat in Kotor. We were travelling around Croatia, Montenegro og Albania with 2 kids and stayed in 4 hotels and this one was our absolutt favourite. We wish to come back again in the future. 10 out of 10 from us!
