Absolutely great trip! Beautiful environment, and the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. The guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. I had a great day every day. So glad I found this trip!

We had the most amazing time from start to finish, such a great [kayaking] trip with beautiful landscape and warm welcoming locals. The team on the ground were super friendly helpful, accommodating and good fun. The communication was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Local beer was great too, especially after a hard day paddling! Loved it!

From first contact with Ben back in October last year, right the way to the end of our trip, communication, organisation and support was fantastic. We were a group of 11, so Ben worked out a bespoke trip for us across the Accursed Mountains from Montenegro to Albania. Our first guide Dino was a wonderful young man, dedicated to showing us his beautiful country Montenegro and Albania. He was great fun, knowledgeable and supportive. He got us down from the mountains safely when a bad storm came in (hail,wind,rain,lightening) and then put an alternative activity in place for us to enjoy. Our second guide Pav was also very knowledgeable about his country and the mountains. A special thank you for taking us to the wonderful wine estate after our trek finished, it was definitely on a par with any wine estate I have visited in other countries, especially South Africa! The Accursed mountains are some of the most stunning we have had the pleasure of hiking across the world, and would recommend to anyone wishing to go somewhere a little different to the usual European summits. Accommodation went from extremely basic to fabulous and the food was wonderful (never seen so much food!). The hospitality of the people of both countries was superb. We had a marriage proposal within our group, in the evening the restaurant we went to even managed to find champagne and presented the couple with a crocheted heart! Our group had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend trekking with Ben and his team

Vera was amazing from start to finish! We had a lovely week and everything was sorted easily and promptly! I have never eaten so much food!

Vera was an incredible guide in Montenegro - so fun & knowledgable. The hikes were so beautiful & varied - Highly Recommend 🙂

What a wonderful week we had at Villa Miela! Ably hosted by Tobi and Adel and assisted by Simon and carly who, along with our fellow guests, were such good fun. The Lake took our breath away . What a sublime place . All are adventures , kayaking, swimming,hiking, wine tasting etc were well planned and even when plans were derailed (landslides,swollen rivers) back up plans were swiftly put into place . Nothing was too much trouble . I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone who likes beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, lots of activities and great company. 🤩🤩

What a fantastic week we had exploring the Montenegrian mountains, lake and countryside. We kayaked, hiked, sampled local wine and produce including our first tastes of pomegranate beer and of carp! |The villa was perfect and had everything we needed including breathtaking views and a pool.|Tobi and Adel were brilliant hosts ensuring that every guest was looked after and we had plenty of laughs along the way. Nothing was too much trouble and they were really helpful providing advice and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit on our free days.|We definitely feel like we got away from it all and this trip is certainly one we will remember. We would not hesitate to recommend this trip for those wanting to do something active that embraces the natural environment that surrounds the villa.

We went as a family of four adults in the hope that everyone would be happy on this holiday and I have to say it didn't disappoint. Tobi and Adèl are excellent hosts- friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable both on the excursions and also with ideas and suggestions for places to go outside of the organised trips. They bring a calmness to the villa so it is easy to relax straight away. We had an amazing holiday and come away with fabulous memories. I would thoroughly recommend Villa Miela to anyone.
