Beautiful nature, cheap shopping and European service are the “three pillars” on which the tourism business in this country stands. Villa Lazovic 3 * (Montenegro, Budva) is an example of how you can inexpensively relax in a good resort.
Hotel or villa
The modern tourist world has become much more diverse than it was 20-30 years ago. During this period, new corners of the Mediterranean and Adriatic were "discovered", which for a long time remained in the shadow of large and popular resorts. This happened with Budva. After Montenegro became an independent country, the improvement of the coast and its development began. New hotels appeared, and many villa owners converted their property to receive tourists.
As some travelers say, you can’t demand the same service and amenities from the apartments in the villa as from the hotel. Villa Lazovic cat a 3 * (Montenegro, Budva), although it has the category of three stars, is actually a three-story house in which rooms are rented.
As a rule, bed linen is changed in such mini-hotels once a week, towels are changed every other day, and cleaning is done every three days. Expect more from the villa, where the staff "one-two and miscalculated" should not be.
Tourists, expressing their dissatisfaction with the quality of service in Villa Lazovic 3 * (Montenegro, Budva), forget that:
