Our Location
Welcome to Castello Risano — a soulful retreat home tucked between the mountains and the sea, in the heart of Montenegro’s National Park. Surrounded by pine forests, mineral-rich cliffs, and the gentle breath of the Adriatic, this space invites you to reconnect with yourself.
Our home is located in Risan, one of the oldest towns on the Montenegrin coast, with over 2,500 years of history. Here, nature holds memory, and time slows down.
Castello Risano is an apartment villa with five spacious units, each with 2–3 bedrooms and 90 to 200 square meters of light, air, and thoughtful design. Every detail is created with love — for rest, inspiration, and deep presence.
We host retreats for women seeking reconnection, healing, and gentle transformation. From April to November, our space welcomes groups for yoga, breathwork, and inner journeys — led by gifted teachers who bring wisdom, light, and compassion.
In summer, families and friends from around the world come to rest, breathe, and enjoy the Mediterranean rhythm.
Whether you’re here to retreat or simply to rest, Castello Risano is your sacred pause — a place of peace, beauty, and meaning.
