What an absolutely wonderful holiday. From the incredible scenery both at the Villa and everywhere we went, the people (we had a great group!), the outstanding food cooked by Elaine the chef) and the experiences…loved it all. The house managers, Ali and Jave were incredibly supportive and always available, Karen (the instructor) was patient with instruction and there was a nice variety of outings throughout the week. I stayed at the Dembaljia Rooms, the additional house that rooms are provided at when the Villa is full. The walk between the 2 was about 10 minutes, no problem. It was very hot in June 2026, so be prepared if you go during that time of year. I wore shorts and t-shirts the entire time, nothing heavier required.

This trip was a perfect mix of stunning views, top-tier watercolour lessons, and incredible home-cooked food. Painting by Lake Skadar and sketching around Budva's historic streets were absolute highlights. Whether you are a total beginner or a pro, you will love it!

Great trip to Bosnia with Undiscovered Balkans. We really enjoyed the activities in the beautiful surroundings of Sarajevo and Mostar. This is a small country with a lot to offer. We stayed an extra few days to see the city, there is so much to visit, i would recommend at least an extra couple of days. Amazing weather, great organisation, nice hotels and a guide who took us everywhere. This trip would appeal to anyone active, any age, or family groups. We loved it

Just returned home after a fantastic week at Villa Miela. We travelled with friends from the East Of England Paddlesports group. We spent the week Kayaking/Paddleboarding & Pack Rafting. I can honestly say this is one of the best holidays i've been on!. Villa Miela is a lovely property set on the hillside with stunning views of Lake Skadar and the valley below. Montenegro is a beautiful country with lots of wildlife and great weather. I'd like to thank our hosts for everything they did to make this the perfect holiday for us. I could'nt recommend Undiscovered Montenegro & Villa Miela enough and we'll definitely be back one day.

We are a family of 4 from England, Mum, Dad, 21 and 18 year old. We are lucky to have shared holidays together in the past but this is hands down the best week we have ever had. From the moment we were collected by our tour guide, Alfie, from the airport we were instantly put at ease, he is the perfect companion for an adventure. Undiscovered Balkans showcases what this country has to offer; spectacular mountains, canyons, lakes; adventure and lovely food. The planning that was put into this trip is exemplary; the bases for our 3 stays were all very good; I loved the fact we could eat in local restaurants if we wanted to; Alfie was more than willing to drive us there and knew the best places to go. Yes, there is driving involved but even with change over days there were stops to see villages and (very good) coffee. I was a bit sceptical about going to Albania but all expectations were exceeded. You could to a beach holiday in Albania; but if you want to see the heart of the country head inland, and if you're after an adventure use Undiscovered Balkans. Alfie's knowledge and passion for Albania, the history and his kind demeanour made the trip. Albania is in our hearts, I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. The only decision we have is whether to go and see the South of Albania or more of the Balkans. Thank you

We had a fabulous family multiactivity holiday in Montenegro with Undiscovered Balkans. We are a family of 4, our kids are 16y & 13y and we wanted an active holiday. We did 5 different activities and loved them all. Miliya was our guide and he was fab. His passion for his country, its history and his desire to see tourism develop and reach its full potential were obvious. Food was excellent and there was plenty of it even for our hungry 16 year old son. We cant recommend this holiday highly enough Thank you

We spent amazing week at Villa Meila hosted by Javi and Ale. The Villa was of a high standard and very spacious, with room for all families/guests to either spend time together or apart. The itinerary was perfect for all ages and abilities - my husband and teenage sons were able to have fun climbing and jumping into the water pools, while I relaxed knowing that Javi and Ale were providing excellent leadership when needed, showing the safe places to jump into the water.The food was simple, tasty and filling and we had two amazing meals at Tanya’s House up in the hills! Such a great spread of traditional dishes and for such a reasonable price!Montenegro itself surpassed expectations, with its greenery, nature and rugged beauty! The locals were also super friendly too. We only scratched the surface at the Lake Skadar Retreat and we will be back to Montenegro and the other Balklans areas for sure as part of another Undiscovered Tour!I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

We had a week of kayaking, walks, boat trips on Lake Skadar and swimming in mountain streams
