About About the place

Saint Ivan Church, also known as St. John's Church, is the only Catholic church in Budva, Montenegro. Situated in the heart of the Old Town, it dates back to the 7th century, though the current structure has undergone several renovations, particularly after the 1667 earthquake. The church features a prominent bell tower, the tallest in Budva's Old Town, and houses religious artwork, including icons and a 24 square meter fresco by Ivo Dulcic. Sunday mass is held at 10:00 a.m. in Serbian. It served as a cathedral until 1828.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

We went to this place which is amazing and we booked the entire suite for the family. Everybody had a great time and we really enjoyed our stay. The service and the staff was superb and we were able to indulge in their spa as well which was awesome. Must visit place for everybody.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
