THE
HOMEOWNER We continue our series of interviews with happy homeowners – Luca Prencipe is already enjoying all that Luštica Bay has to offer

very high quality. The apartment is a great size, with access to the rooftop as well.
UCA PRENCIPE IS ONE of the first homeowners in Luštica Bay. He lives in Switzerland and bought his property in 2014 when he realised the apartment would fit perfectly with his retirement plans.
Why did you decide to buy a property?
I was looking for a place to live after I retire. I wanted somewhere I could spend five or six months of the year that allowed for friends to visit too.
Why did you choose Montenegro?
I had been looking for houses in areas like Portugal and Panama when a friend recommended Montenegro. I’m Italian and, to me, the way of life appears very similar. I also wanted somewhere with good weather all year round. Luštica Bay looked like a realistic and worthwhile investment. There’s something gorgeous about the bay, too. I fell in love with it and knew it was where I wanted to live.
How did you find interactions with the staff of Luštica Bay? I’ve communicated with the CEO of
the project throughout the construction and I’m amazed at how much has been achieved since I bought my apartment four years ago. All the dealings with Luštica Bay were easy, much easier than anything I would have found in Switzerland, as all the communications were in English. When I visited around Easter, I was also able to talk to the staff about the ongoing project.
What do you like about your property?
The apartment itself is stunning. I knew I wanted a top-floor apartment with a view over the bay, and that’s exactly what I got. I think I’ve got the best view in Montenegro. I was incredibly happy with the construction of the apartment too. You can tell it’s of a

My favourite part of Montenegro by far is the beaches. Almara Beach Club is particularly beautiful – better than Saint-Tropez, in my opinion! Within the resort itself, the main features I found attractive were the marina and the golf course. My apartment is 200 metres from the marina, so I’m right by the facilities I want to use the most. In the coming months, Luštica Bay is also starting construction in Centrale, set to be the centre of the community, which sounds exciting.
Which facilities do you appreciate the most?
I’m comforted by the fact that the resort is safe because there’ll be constant security. The Chedi Luštica Bay hotel is also useful, especially when friends visit. I would even be interested in looking at villas to buy in Luštica Bay as well, along with a boat to keep on the marina.
Have you met a wide range of people at Luštica Bay? Of the neighbours I’ve met, one is a doctor from
Switzerland and two are architects from London. There certainly does appear to be a range of people interested in Luštica Bay.
THERE IS SOMETHING GORGEOUS ABOUT THE BAY. I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND KNEW IT WAS WHERE I WANTED TO LIVE LUSTICABAY.COM
