Awesome house! So much attention has been paid to interior details – a fireplace, a terrace, and all this in a quiet picturesque village. Victoria is an amazing, responsive woman; we are very grateful for her hospitality!
Casa Austria
A former farmhouse, revived with Mediterranean charm.
In Mrkovi, a small village on the Luštica Peninsula, stands Villa Viktoria – surrounded by olive trees, a garden, and the light of the Adriatic.
This house, too, was once a farmhouse – animals on the lower level, living quarters above.
The natural rock floor was intentionally preserved, while the remaining area was leveled by hand. The old tethering stones were fitted with lights, and a special detail remained in the kitchen: the traditional oven, which once operated entirely without a chimney.
Today, a green inner courtyard and a garden situated just behind Villa Viktoria, shaded by mature trees, offer a place of peace and timelessness.
Villa Viktoria combines Mediterranean ambiance with modern amenities and traditional craftsmanship. The upper and lower floors are open in design and connected by stone staircases both inside and out. A metal staircase leads to the gallery with its balcony, and from there to the rooftop terrace overlooking the sea and the mountains — beneath a night sky full of stars.
On each floor, an open fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere, complemented by underfloor heating in winter.The kitchen is fully equipped — with all appliances, dishes, table linens, a dishwasher, and a washing machine located in the adjoining utility room. There are two bathrooms with shower and toilet, plus a separate toilet on the ground floor.
The house features two air-conditioning units, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi.
Each floor has a large sofa bed, in addition to a double bed in the gallery and another in the bedroom. The interior combines modern furniture with antiques — simple, functional, and full of character.
From the green courtyard shaded by kiwi vines, a stone staircase leads to an arched patio and from there, another staircase takes you up to the stone terrace.

Here, where stone walls meet the sea and the wind moves through the olive trees, we found our favorite place. A piece of Montenegro – genuine and untouched.
What began as an adventure became a heartfelt mission: to preserve old stone houses and bring them back to life. Today, we share this idyllic place with people who seek tranquility, nature, and something truly special.
How It All Began
In 2008, through a Montenegrin acquaintance, we discovered this part of Montenegro – and immediately fell in love with its landscape, its serenity, its quiet charm, and its old stone houses. Many of them stood abandoned, yet we saw in them both possibilities and stories waiting to be told.
House Tici was our first experiment as a “convertible house” – a structure with standing walls but without a roof. That’s what we call these kinds of buildings: convertible houses. Over the course of three years, we rebuilt the house in Tici with patience, dedication, and a deep attention to detail.
This is how our first home came to life – one that preserves tradition and the humble beauty of true craftsmanship.
More Than Just a House
Today, House Tici looks different. It now features an inner courtyard and a front garden with trees that offer welcome shade.
After this first experience, we restored another house in Mrkovi – once again preserving its original character while adding modern technology and comfort.
In 2014, we opened both houses to guests – and ever since, every summer has become part of a shared story.
Today
Our little haven now includes four houses, each with its own story to tell – of ancient stone, southern light, and the joy of creating a home for guests far from everyday life.
Living on Luštica
The Luštica Peninsula has remained wonderfully authentic. There is no central water supply – water comes from cisterns filled by the rain. Drinking water is purchased in canisters. Here, you live with nature, following its rhythm.
And perhaps that is exactly what makes this place so special.
The blue of the sea and the green slopes of Luštica create a landscape full of calm, openness, and Mediterranean ease.
Within just a few minutes, you can reach the bays of Žanjice and Mirište, the small fishing village of Rose, and viewpoints overlooking the Bay of Kotor. The towns of Tivat, Kotor, and Budva are easily accessible by car – vibrant contrasts to the tranquility of the peninsula.
