AS A GUEST AT OUR PLACE

What to expect?

Expectations are an essential part of being a tourist and traveling without them sounds really boring. Expectations exist from the first moment when a tourist starts thinking about his vacation, and these first expectations are based on the images and information he has already stored in his memory. When we stop expecting, it is better to stay where we are and search our soul for some motivation to have a new need or urge to start traveling again.

What do you expect from this trip?

 

You may have come across this site by accident, or perhaps on someone's recommendation - it doesn't matter now. Considering that you are reading this text, we assume that you have already looked around more or less, and that you got the desire to spend your vacation with us. Before making a decision, we recommend that you read the following short text. We certainly do not want our guests' expectations to be inconsistent with what awaits them when they come to us.
Imagine your ideal trip. What do you need for that?

A short list of
potential expectations

Luxury

Ideas about what the term "luxury" means are different and depend on previous experiences and acquired habits. For those who have experience staying in ethno-villages and mountain lodges - Nadgora Resort is certainly a very luxurious place. On the other hand, people who have spent their vacation in five-star hotels will certainly find numerous shortcomings. Simply put: you should not compare a mountain resort with an elite hotel.
We do not have a swimming pool, spa center or sauna. There is no gym or masseur. We do not serve breakfast in bed. If that is what makes your vacation quality - we will recommend one of the hotels in Žabljak.

Cleanliness

We do everything to keep our houses and restaurant spotless. Of course, we should take into account that we are in nature, not in a marble-paved courtyard.

An extensive menu in the restaurant

Our restaurant is not open to everyone, it is intended exclusively for the nutrition of guests who are accommodated in Nadgora Resort. That is why there are no world cuisine specialties on the menu, but only traditional Montenegrin dishes. Also, notice is required. This saves us and your time a lot.
Of course, we prepare meals in accordance with the guests' requests. You can choose vegetarian or vegan meals, as well as other specific requests.
What sets the food in our restaurant apart from all other options are the ingredients of our dishes. There are meat and dairy products from our farm, pastries and bread from our bakery, mushrooms and other ingredients harvested in the forest that surrounds us ... All ingredients do not contain chemicals nor have they undergone any factory processing.

Self-directed nutrition

If you really want to organize your own food - it is possible, but we do not recommend it. Žabljak is a small town, but there are enough markets and restaurants, so you can eat outside our restaurant.
Honestly, we doubt that you would have significant savings that way. Also, you would miss the opportunity to try excellent Montenegrin specialties made from natural ingredients. We are convinced that you need a change in food at least during your vacation, "classic" food is certainly available where you come from.

Nightlife, shopping, city entertainment

Žabljak, the nearest town, is 5 km away, or about a 10-minute drive along a mountain road. The town has enough cafes and restaurants, markets and shops where you can get all the basic necessities. There are no world-famous brands or large shopping malls. We hope you won't miss that...

Nadgora Resort as overnight accommodation

We designed and planned this resort as a place for guests to stay longer. If you want to relax, tired of stressful and tiring everyday life, you need a few days for that. The situation is the same if you are looking for an active holiday. To get to know Durmitor and its surroundings, to visit all the places that are worth seeing, it takes several weeks; even the narrowest selection of sites cannot be visited in less than 7 days. That is why a short stay, for a night or two, is completely pointless.

Socializing with other guests

Our guests, for the most part, have similar interests. These are people who work hard throughout the year and are successful in their jobs. They live in cities and, due to their many obligations, do not have many opportunities to go to nature. They need and value their holiday, but group trips or famous resorts do not appeal to them. They are eager for nature, freedom, clean air, natural food and healthy activities.
Most of our guests spend their days at Nadgora Resort according to a simple recipe: they spend most of the day doing their desired activity, and sleep at night. The place where guests get to know each other is usually a restaurant, where everyone gathers for breakfast and dinner. This is the place where you quickly and easily start a conversation, exchange experiences from activities and make arrangements for joint excursions. The friendship that starts at Nadgora Resort almost always continues after going home, until the next meeting in the same place.

Problems for those who have not spent time in nature before

We believe that living in nature is written in our genes. Even if you have spent your entire life in the city, we have no doubt that you will quickly adapt to a different way of life. Of course, for those who have moved far away from nature, adaptation is necessary, and the condition for this is desire, openness to new experiences, and a willingness to endure some minor difficulties. If you do not have these before your first stay in nature, it may be better not to even try.

Safety

The issue of safety is now often at the top of the list of priorities. Just a generation or two ago, it was not a significant issue. People aspired to freedom, and freedom, as an ideal, is in direct opposition to the concept of safety.
Those who live in nature, like us, chose it primarily because of the desire for freedom. However, we understand the importance of safety for people living in the city, so we do everything we can to make our guests feel safe during their stay. On each of the activities organized through us, you will go with an experienced professional guide and all the necessary equipment. There is no need to worry about wild animals, as they are not dangerous to humans. If you follow the instructions, the worst that can happen to you during your stay with us is to get bitten by a mosquito, or to get your feet wet if you are not careful.

How will the children manage in nature?

Better than adults. If they have no experience outside of city life, they will need a short adjustment. After that, they will enjoy every moment, and it will not be easy for you to bring them back to the city.
If you understand how much damage screens of all kinds do to a child's development, in front of which they spend most of their time, you should definitely bring them here. Even without taking away their cell phones, they will leave them after a day or two, realizing that real life is happening in nature around them, and not behind a screen.

Hospitality

Different cultures have different customs. The concept of hospitality is closely connected to our tradition. A guest is sacred to us, as anyone who has stayed in Montenegro has seen.
We are also people from the mountains. As tough and rugged as the rocks from which we emerged. But also sincere and open to every well-intentioned guest. Come to us with an open heart and you will become our friend, who returns to us year after year.
