Excellent hotel with exceptional service. The staff went out of their way to make the stay as great as possible. I cannot stress this enough, this was the best staff of any hotel I have ever visited. We will definately return next year.
+ Dream hotel. Everything was perfect, except the parking a little tight. Good restaurant and attentive staff, impeccable cleanliness
– The temperature of the pool a little cool especially when it is hot outside
Wow! What an amazing stay! Great service and unbelievably tranquil setting.
We are Hyatt loyalty and Marriott Ambassador and have stayed at some amazing places and this place is wonderful and exceptional.
It is a small boutique hotel with few rooms. We first booked a smaller room but when we checked in we decided to splurge and get better room and ended up in Selene.
Everything exuded luxury. Reception with Bozidar/Ivan/Milica was great as from check in with Bozidar who was friendly and professional to the whole staff was exceptional. Upon check in we even got a welcome drink with a glass of champagne/prosecco.
Location: Amazing view overlooking tiny islet of Sveti Stefan and Adriatic Sea, but still close to beach (they have a working arrangement with another hotel, Hotel California to use their beach club etc) which is close walk or you can take comp ride to beach.
Room: We splurged and upgraded to Selene suite. Huge room with two beautiful 2 bathrooms. It exudes modern chic. Bed was so comfortable. All the items and toiletries are high class
Service: They aim to please. Very professional/attentive service
They address you by your names etc (very Ritz Carlton like service)
Food/Restaurant: Great food and service. We had breakfast every morning at Muse Restaurant and dinner there as well. Muse restaurant for dinner with the amazing sunset view is very romantic and tranquil setting. Breakfast was great with Katrina and Zoran (sp) and dinner was spectacular with Allessandro (Sp)
Pool/Amenities: Amazing infinity pool (wish it was heated) and great hot tub with nice view of pool area. The pool area is a relaxing area to rest and just unwind. We also had a massage which was wonderful and we highly recommend.
We have nothing bad to say.. .. we cant wait to come back to this beautiful oasis of tranquility!
An exceptionally done decoration, and the size of the rooms out of the ordinary (140m2). The feeling of never meeting anyone in the hotel. The extraordinary view.
Great location, amazing view, excellent service. Here you are really taken care of: they organize a transfer to the places you need, to nearby beaches, take into account your wishes when cooking, make pleasant surprises every day! We will definitely be back!!!!
An exceptional stay, honesty, everything inside the hotel is beautiful, the restaurant, friendliness of the staff, the swimming pool and the tranquility of it. The place is high off the beach, and I asked them to go to the beach and they gave me a driver and a luxury car to drive me, and after I finished I called them and flexibility. Attention to these details matters to you 👍🏻
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The entire staff is outstanding and they have taken customer service to the next level
From the first moment to the last, our stay at Villa Geba was nothing short of exceptional.
We arrived on Sunday evening a bit disheveled (from an unforgettable beach excursion (Pasjača Beach just outside Dubrovnik) and stressed (on account of the drive in Montenegro….beautiful, but a two lane road with dense traffic). Within moments, we were immersed in a different world- one where our every care and need was attended to with style. Zoran, Alex, Bobo, Sasa, Ivana, and Ivan were the supporting cast in this world of opulence. Though there were maybe two other rooms with guests, we felt like this was our private villa.
The first night we had an amazing dinner on the premises followed by an excursion in to Old Town Budva and Casper Bar (highly recommend). The days started with breakfast overlooking the Adriatic and King’s Beach and a beautiful-looking (but since closed) island resort. Afterwards, with a beach bag, towels and water, we walked down to the sea and along a path that ran from King’s Beach to Queen’s Beach and up and over rocky shore to a vista of another, more populated resort. After some lovely beach time, it was back to Villa Geba for some rest and relaxation before dinner later that evening. Of course, while lounging by the infinity pool, drinks were a phone call away (x200).
While my wife napped, I realized I needed a quick wardrobe upgrade for our dinner that night. Expecting to drive into Budva, I simply wanted to inquire about which store would best suit my needs. What I got, instead, was “my driver and attendant”, Bobo, calling a small clothier en route, walking me in to the store, speaking Montenegrin to the proprietor, Dragona, clarifying what I needed and then explaining he would be waiting by the van for me. With stylish shirt and pants in tow, we made our way back to Villa Geba, where I realized that had I done that on my own, I would have still be trying to navigate the streets of Budva and looking for clothes. Of course, I would have been late and in trouble with my better half. About an hour later, Ivan drove us up to a restaurant for a dining experience that will not be eclipsed anytime soon. With Ivan providing the transportation (and much more, as it would turn out), we dined at Restoran Paštrovića dvori, high above Budva, with our most gregarious proprietor, Željko, who we let choose our courses and wines for the evening. Halfway through, I noticed a sign that said cash only. At the end we explained we would need our driver to come grab one of us so that we could access an ATM. Željko was not only amiable, but served up his special pear brandy while Ivan came to our aid. My wife had explained what we needed and Ivan said not to worry. This is where we get to the part, once again, about taking care of our every need. He had spoken with his manager and was able to bring us the euros necessary to pay for our meal.
Our next stop was the casino- a la Casino Royale and James Bond- whereby I was able to go to the ATM and repay our financial obligation to Villa Geba. After a fun, but brief, foray on to the Black Jack table we called Ivan for a ride back to Villa Geba.
The next morning we would be leaving, but first, breakfast followed by a massage with Sasa was in order. My wife and I each opted for the Destress/Detox massage (certainly not much stress, but more so a detox after the alcohol consumed the day and evening prior). Sasa made sure to cater to our individual needs….he uses his hands and fingers in very subtle ways…bringing out pent up energy and also a sort of very nimble pricking that was almost acupuncture-esque.
All in all, highly recommend. Alas, our mini-vacation to Montenegro was coming to an end, but the memories will remain forever thanks to all that Villa Geba provided.
Muse Restaurant in Villa Geba is probably one of my favourite places in Montenegro: the location is stunning, with beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea and Sveti Stefan, creating an idyllic setting for an unforgettable dining experience.
The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine selection. I was impressed with the quality of the cocktails, which were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with my meal.
However, I was a little let down by the desserts. While they looked beautiful, the taste did not live up to my expectations. I tried a couple of different desserts, but none of them had the wow factor that I was hoping for.
