Holm Oak Villa is a beautiful luxury holiday home and office for remote work, for up to 9 people looking for peace and leisure. The villa is situated right at the Adriatic seafront under the shade of old evergreen holm oak trees, with a private beach and everything that a family would need. It is a great base to inspire yourself, recharge, make unforgettable trips and reach beautiful nature. Private isolated beach provides the healthiest place for your family with no contact with other people. It is impossible to tell the complete history of our house and to put all of our memories in simple words. But you can live it! Escape the tourist traps and typical holiday makers, and recharge your batteries by living like the locals. This piece of land has been in our family since 1972, with us being the very first settlers in the area. At the time, the only way to approach the land was by boat. Since then, the site had been used for many years as a campsite by several generations of our family during the summer holidays. Nowadays we have extensively developed the property, but still, we would like to keep the same vibe of peace, happiness and love, as it was for decades. Our goal today is to share these exact feelings with our guests and to develop a self-sustaining house able to maintain and further improve itself. Therefore, the villa is constantly improving, and we are always positively surprising our returning guests. This naturally created air spa offers a healthy environment and a good relaxation for body and mind, and helps to forget all about the daily routines, problems and busy city life. During this pandemic time, many companies realized that home office is possible and good for people's well-being, mental health, inspiration and productivity. Why wouldn't you try it out if your job allows? At Holm Oak Villa you could work in a well-equipped office with a magnificent view over the Adriatic sea and refresh yourself in its clear water at your own private beach. GROUND FLOOR A spacious, sunlit living and dining area, separated with a breakfast bar from a modern ash wood kitchen offers a perfect place to hangout and for social gatherings. Large patio doors lead into the garden, which is only 10 m away from the sea. The rest of the walls and flooring are a combination of natural stone, tiles and plaster, modernising the traditional style of a Montenegrin sea house. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a huge work surface suitable for organising big dinners and inventing new recipes. Bathroom/toilet and two storage rooms are located at the rear of the floor. A metal–ash wood staircase leads to the first and second floor bedrooms and balcony. FIRST FLOOR Three 12 m2 bedrooms are located on the first floor of the home.

If you are by car, there is a free private parking at our property suitable for two vehicles. We advise our guests to rent a car in order to have more flexibilities to discover Montenegro. We can always give some tips regarding taxi service or taxi service to and from the airports in Dubrovnik, Tivat and Podgorica. 1. All payments are arranged by Airbnb, there are no additional charges or taxes for you. 2. All tourists are required by law to register within 48h after they enter Montenegro. Registration fee is included within your rent. We will do it online for you, but you need to provide us with the registration details for each of the guests (including children) listed below: - Name and surname - Date, place and country of birth - Sex - Type of travel document, document number, country of issue, expiry date - Address, city and country of residence - Place of entry to Montenegro We guarantee that the data will be used only for the purpose of registration and deleted afterwards. 3. If we haven't agreed differently and there is no one at the site to greet you, the key is stored in the lock-box next to the entrance door. The code is 1020. After you enter the house, keep the upper entrance locked. This door basically you don't need to use anymore, only again when you want to leave the house for an excursion or some trip. There is no key for the yard door, you can unlock it from the inside via the little clutch on the interior door handle. When you leave somewhere, don't forget to lock this door as well. 4. Water is technical, suitable for showering and washing. For drinking please buy bottled water but there will be few bottles ready for you. As water is scarce in Montenegro, please use it economically and environmentally friendly (turn off water tap while soaping in the shower, use a dishwasher etc.). Water company is refilling the tank on a weekly basis (which should be sufficient for 8 guests). In case of a higher consumption, please let us know so that we can increase refill frequency. 5. There are 2 Wi-Fi networks: HolmOak and HolmOak2, both with the same password: miminabeba3 6. There is no company, which collects rubbish at the house. The rubbish needs to be taken by yourself to the containers on the main road. There is no mandatory rubbish separation or recycling but there special containers for recycling (paper, plastic & general) at the container area on the main road when you drive towards Bar, which are free to use and which we recommend. 7. Don't leave personal belongings or house inventory too close to the sea. Sometimes the waves can rise and take away the items. 8. SUP board or kayaks are free of charge. Please take care how you use them or place them on the rocks in order not to puncture them. 9. When you park your car at the parking space try not to place car wheels over the square lid. You can park over it but not with the wheel on it so that it can be opened by water company to refill the water tank. (This happens once per week, you don't have to worry about, everything is arranged). Our neighbor also allows our guests to park freely on his property (construction site across), just make sure that there is space left for other cars (3 can park in total). This can come handy as you don't need to open the gate. 10. Sunday is a non-working day in Montenegro. Everything is closed except for the restaurants, bars, petrol stations and bakeries. 11. In case something breaks down or there is any technical issue at the house, let us know and we can try to sort it out.
