The home cooked food was amazing and most of it locally produced. It was all very clean and well thought out. Hot tub was an added bonus.

Confortable apartment with jacuzzi. Clean and well equipped. Nice terrace with beautiful garden. Free parking space. Excellent homemade breakfast. I would also suggest homemade lunch or dinner prepared by the owners. Host and his family are extremely kind and helpful. I do highly recommend this property.

“Exceptional stay at Vila Merak - amazing views & pure relaxation: a place you’ll want to return to!”
I must apologise in advance for the long read, but I’m simply overflowing with enthusiasm after our wonderful stay at Vila Merak 🙂 We arrived at Vila Merak on Friday evening by car and were warmly welcomed by Elvis, the friendly and attentive host. He made sure we settled in comfortably. Dinner was a real treat - fragrant soup with fresh lavash, delicious stuffed cabbage rolls with homemade cheese and vegetables, all served in beautiful, vintage-style metal dishes right in our villa. Breakfast was just as delightful, featuring homemade pastries. We even bought a kilo of fresh cow’s cheese to take home - it was that good! Our room was cosy and spacious, decorated in a charming rustic style, with a double bed, two singles, a kitchen with a dining table, and a bathroom with a shower. The kitchen had everything we needed: a small stove, microwave, and fridge. We especially loved the veranda attached to our room, complete with a dining table, a comfy lounge area, and a heated jacuzzi with a wine glass holder - just perfect for relaxing! The terrace offered breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountains - a sight even seasoned Montenegro travellers would appreciate. 😎 The large, well-kept grounds in front of the villa featured a barbecue, neat wooden tables and chairs, and a small playground for children. On hot days, you can cool off in the inflatable pool or lounge under a parasol. Vila Merak is just a hundred metres from the P9 road, which runs from Plavsko jezero along Gusinje towards Albania, but it’s wonderfully peaceful - the occasional car barely disturbs the tranquillity. What really stood out to us was the perfect blend of peace, stunning scenery, and comfort! We’re already dreaming of coming back in autumn to spend more unforgettable days in this cosy haven surrounded by beautiful nature.

“Cosy place with great view and food”
We stayed in the big apartment with private jacuzzi and it was amazing! The apartment is old, but it's clean and has all the needed facilities. The view from the guarden is awesome. Elvis is a very friendly host and a good chef, he made us very nice breakfast and diner with local ingredients! We asked for vegetarian diners and we got great food! We would definitely recommend this place if you want to visit Prokletije National Park. Relaxing in the private jacuzzi after a challenging hike was amazing ;)

“It's a great place for a vacation.”
A great place to relax as a couple or with friends. It was just the two of us in the whole villa. The host is the best. The breakfasts are great. The option to ask to cook lunch/dinner is perfect. Imagine being able to walk down to the first floor in your pajamas and have a perfectly cooked dinner waiting for you. Quite a unique option, owners should focus on it. If I am not mistaken, dinner for one person turned out to be around 20 euros. If you ask for drinks (they offer wine/beer), it will be a bit more expensive, but still it is a great price/quality.

“Great place to stay near Prokletije National Park and hiking trails.”
The room is new and nice. It is small (I took appartment for 2 persons) but definitely enough for 1 or 2 persons. Clean bathroom, good small terrace with mountain view. The breakfast was great and big, thank you, Elvis! :)

Vila Merak is a really nice place, very quiet and peacefully. Although outside was really hot weather inside the apartment because of its great isolation the temperature was pleasant and we were even wearing our hoodies. There is a nice garden, and I enjoyed seeing little goats and chickens.
