Conte Hotel

Conte Hotel

Perast's rooftops spread out below Conte Hotel's windows, and mornings here start with coffee taken while looking down over the town waking up. The hotel sits in the center of Perast, close enough to Jaz Beach, Ploce Beach and Slovenska Beach that a swim is a short walk rather than a plan. Its 39 rooms range from straightforward double rooms to a three bedroom villa in the annex, a spread that lets a couple traveling light and an extended family sharing a week land under the same roof without either compromising. Several rooms, including the Junior Suite and the Premium Apartment, look out over the sea rather than the street. The garden and terrace give somewhere to sit outside the room, the seasonal outdoor pool is there for those who don't want to walk to the water, and bike rental, fishing, hiking routes and snorkelling gear cover the rest of the day. Staff speak English and Spanish, useful in a corner of the coast where that combination isn't a given. Breakfast, a bar and a restaurant are on site, and Wi-Fi, laundry and a safe deposit box are free to use. What it does not have is an elevator, so guests with heavy suitcases and an upper floor room should factor that in, and anyone arriving after 7pm needs to call ahead so someone is there to let them in. Pets stay home. For a base to explore Perast on foot, by bike or in the water, without paying for polish it isn't offering, Conte Hotel does the job plainly and does it in the right spot. Conte Hotel sits in central Perast, a short walk from Jaz, Ploce and Slovenska beaches, with rooms ranging from simple doubles to a three bedroom villa. There is no elevator, so heavy luggage on an upper floor takes some planning. It suits families and slow travelers, not polish seekers.
