Donja Lastva Real Estate: Bay of Kotor Apartments Near Tivat

Donja Lastva sits on the shore, with views of the bay and the mountains, a short drive from Tivat's town centre. Tivat airport has seasonal flights across Europe, and the Adriatic coast is easy to reach.

Porto Montenegro, next door in Tivat, has pulled in yacht owners and boosted demand for rentals, so flats here are often bought as a lock-up-and-leave second home. Winters are quiet, and some seasonal services close.

Buyers from outside the EU can purchase flats and houses here, although the law is stricter for land, so a plot purchase needs specialist advice. The buyer normally pays a progressive 3% to 6% property transfer tax and the notary's fee. Euros are used throughout. Before paying a deposit, have a lawyer verify the cadastre entry, the building permit and the use permit, and ask whether the flat is part of a project with unpaid developer loans.

Holiday-let owners should register with the local tourism office and budget for the guest tax. More detail is in our Montenegro overview, the buying guide, the financing page and the apartments in Montenegro listing.
