Can I rent out my holiday home?

Yes, short-term rentals are legal and popular. You need a tourist licence (simple process). Many owners cover costs through 8-12 weeks of summer rentals while keeping peak weeks for personal use.

What are the running costs?

Annual costs include: property tax (0.1-1% of value), utilities (~€100/month average), building maintenance (€50-150/month), insurance (~€200/year). Total €1,500-3,500/year for an apartment.

How easy is it to get to Montenegro?

Tivat airport serves the coast with flights from most European capitals (2-3 hours). Podgorica has more year-round connections. Dubrovnik (Croatia) is 1.5 hours from the northern coast with even more flights.

What happens when I'm not there?

Property management companies offer key-holding, cleaning, bill payment, and maintenance for €100-200/month or included in rental management. New developments often have on-site management.

Why Montenegro for holiday home buyers?

Montenegro offers the perfect holiday home destination: stunning Adriatic coastline, easy access from Europe, and property prices that won't break the bank. Many buyers combine personal use with rental income, offsetting ownership costs.

The coast offers something for everyone - from the historic charm of Kotor to the beach buzz of Budva, the yacht-set glamour of Porto Montenegro to the unspoilt beauty of Ulcinj. Flight times from major European cities are 2-3 hours, with year-round connections to Tivat and Podgorica.

New developments offer lock-and-leave convenience with management services, pools, and security. Older properties in historic towns provide character and potential for higher rental income. Either way, running costs are low compared to equivalent properties in Spain, France, or Italy.
