“Incredible hosts, stunning place and in a beautiful location - would highly recommend.”

Nigel and Filip were phenomenal hosts - they ensured we were well looked after, were incredibly friendly and a good laugh too. The place itself is stunning - all the rooms were immaculate, the outdoor space was amazing too; both in the back garden as well as at the front by the sea. Absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about visiting the bay of Kotor.

Very personable experience, Filip and Nigel are great hosts and obviously care about what they do. They had a lot of recommendations for guests, and made sure throughout that our stay was as enjoyable as possible!

Gorgeous location, possibly the most stunning bit of the Kotor area. Beautifully appointed room and common areas. The bed was also extremely comfortable. Super friendly and attentive hosts: both Nigel and Filip are a real asset to this place. Very good breakfast as well.

“One of the most peaceful and relaxed holidays I ever had.”

Amazing location combined with exceptional comfort. The host, Nigel, along with Philip and the supporting staff, truly make you feel at home. Every detail has been thoughtfully planned and executed with great care.

“Great property with very attentive staff”

My wife and I loved our time here. It is a beautiful property with all that you need to have an enjoyable time. Filip and Nigel were very helpful and caring. Lovely breakfast jam and granola!

The location was beautiful — perfect for peaceful strolls, and still an easy drive to the old town. Nigel was a wonderful host, and Phillip was extremely helpful and responsive to everything we needed.

Fantastic service and hospitality - Philip and Nigel made us so welcome, gave great advice on places to visit, restaurants and the weather! The house is beautiful. Impecably clean and decorated beautifully. Loved the breakfast room, and how we got to meet and share tips with the other guests while being served a great breakfast by Philip. True home from home place to stay full of warmth and friendliness as we found across all the places we visited in this wonderful country. We went end of season so didnt get to experience the pool and gardens, but they still looked beautiful and tranquil. Again as end of seaaon the very local restaurants were closed ( but looked ideally convenient to the house). The hourly bus to Kotor and Tivat stops outside the property ( by hailing). The walled city of Kotor, speed boat trip (organised by Philip) to Lady of Rocks, the Blue Caves, submarine caves, Cable Car and The Alpine Coaster all great places to visit, not forgetting the beautiful picture postcard Perast. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Nigel is an amazing host and is able to accommodate everybody. The breakfast was really good and he helps you with day trips and things you should visit. The building is beautifully renovated.

“A truly special place that feels like home, wrapped in luxury and stunning views.”

We had a wonderful stay at Boutique Hotel Palazzo Sbutega. The location is stunning, right by the water and very peaceful. The hotel is beautifully restored, combining historic charm with luxury, modern comfort, and style. Nigel and Filip were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their attention to detail, local knowledge, and genuine passion for hospitality created such a warm and personal atmosphere we truly felt at home. Breakfast was delicious, with everything homemade. The muesli was so good I even asked for the recipe. I am gluten intolerant, and they were so kind to accommodate me with lovely seeded bread that Nigel even gave me a packet to take home. As hikers, we really appreciated Filip’s recommendations for local trails. The morning dip on our last day was the perfect way to end our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a homely yet luxurious experience. I loved all the thoughtful furniture and design details, and the view from our bedroom was magical, watching the cruise ships glide by in the mornings and evenings. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and Nigel’s restaurant recommendations

“A rare find The very friendly welcome, exceptional decor, comfortable room and delicious breakfast.”

Friendly welcome. Attention to detail. Local knowledge. Super healthy breakfast. Local recommendations. Tasteful, arty decor. Comfortable bed.

“Couldn’t be a better place to relax or indeed use as a base to explore the beatiful lake and wider area.”

Location - quiet, beautiful and well appointed. Staff - Nigel and Philip couldn’t have been better hosts. Excellent recommendations, restaurant bookings.

“An absolute gem of a place to stay”

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was beautiful & stylish, chats over the delicious breakfast, swims from the pontoon and the captivating views from our bedroom windows brought such joy to each day. Nigel & his team were welcoming, kind & always happy to offer suggestions for the best restaurants, things to do and assist you getting there. Palazzo Sbutega is a stunning place to stay but it’s real beauty & charm is in Nigel, Filip & Vedran, they have huge hearts & will make your stay truly special. We hope to be lucky enough to come back again

“Stylish introduction to Montenegro.”

Stylish boutique hotel. Convivial breakfasts with other guests. Nigel & team were excellent hosts. Lovely sea-front location.

“Beautiful homely property right onto bay of Kotor”

The property was very comfortable and clean. Nigel and Felipe (sorry if misspelled) were great hosts. Provided so much information about the area.

“Brilliant romantic short break in an area with beautiful scenery & walks, great history to see, and if you like Ital”

It has been so thoughtfully designed and finished to a high quality. The beds are comfortable, lovely outdoor areas, and Nigel & Philip were wonderful hosts. The breakfast is the best continental breakfast we’ve ever had. There is also good parking, and its location means you need a car.

We absolutely adored our stay – amazing small feels-like-home hotel, really cozy atmosphere and incredibly welcoming hosts :) Nigel, Filip and Vedran we couldn’t have asked for more! See you soon again!

“Absolute Gem”

Communication was great even before we arrived. Nigel was very helpful in giving advice on the best way to get to the Palazzo. Once we arrived we were blown away by how beautiful it was. We were staying in the pool house so walked through the garden every time we were coming and going, which was lovely. The trees and plants create natural shade, which was appreciated in the heat! The area by the bay was stunning and being able to jump straight into the Bay of Kotor and swim gave the most incredible view of the mountains. Nigel and Philip are wonderful hosts. The breakfast with homemade muesli, fresh fruit, homemade jams and great coffee was a bonus as was meeting other guests. We are already looking at when we can come again!

“Didn't meet expectations or price”

Beautifully and tastefully renovated building. Location is super pretty and quiet, about 5- 10 minutes walk from a handful of decent restaurants, and an hr walk to old town. Mini mart and bakery is 15 minutes away which you will need. You can catch a 10Euro taxi in and out of town too. The pool area is stunning! And the water temperature is perfect. It's like a Tuscan villa with rhe mountains in the background. Plenty of sun loungers for all guests. Very quiet room despite being on the main road, the windows are obviously double glazed plus shutters. Very comfortable bed with quality sheets and towels.

“10/10”

A phenomenal place to stay, Nigel is a fantastic host who has thought of everything to make your stay pleasant. He will book restaurants for you, park your car in the tricky spot he has reserved for guests, and always make sure you’re having a nice time. Phillip is also an amazing member of staff who prepares a beautiful breakfast each morning and makes a great coffee. We would love to come back again!

It was really clean and nice. Stefan the manager really goes out of his way to ensure the guests have everything they need.
