Sveti Stefan Hotels
The Pastrovici area includes the part of the Montenegrin coast from Maine to Spic, along 20 km of the breathtaking Adriatic seaside with tiny fishermen villages and several larger settlements and a couple of towns – Petrovac and Sveti Stefan.
There is rarely such small area as the area of Pastrovici is, that has so turbulent and characteristic past, but unparalleled beauties. It is known that the Pastrovici area was populated in the antiquity, with the Serb-Slavic settlements established since the 7th century, when it became part of the Serbian Medieval Doclea state and later the Raska state. After the death of Tzar Dusan in 1355 who on his way from Dubrovnik /legend has it/ visited the settlements of Kotor, Grbalj and Pastrovici, this area became part of the independent Serbian state of Zeta ruled by the Balsic Family, and later ruled by the Crnojevic Family. This lasted until 1423 when Pastrovici locals willingly accepted the governance and administration of the Venetian Republic, under which rule it remained until decline of the Venetians in 1797.
Nowadays Sveti Stefan makes one of the most prestigious and and the most luxurious resorts in the Adriatic…. The Church of Saint Sava stands on top of the Djenasi Mountain overlooking the Sveti Stefan island connected with the inland. A viewing platform at the base of the church offers spectacular views of the Adriatic coast and the island of Sveti Stefan. The Saint Sava church above Sveti Stefan and observation deck are highly a popular venue for memorable wedding ceremonies.
