The Property — Apartmani Timm
A three-star self-catering apartment block just off Plav's main square, favoured by Balkan road-trippers and families who need a kitchen. The lobby is small, tiled and functional — staff are friendly but don't expect a concierge. Its real selling point is the location: two minutes from the lakefront and a short walk to the old bridge. Best for independent travellers who value practicality over polish.
Chroniken von Plav
Plav grew around a medieval fortress on a hill above the Plavsko Lake, first mentioned in the 12th century as part of the Serbian Nemanjić state. Under Ottoman rule from the 15th century it became a trading post, visible in the stone houses and narrow streets of the old town. The 1912–13 Balkan Wars brought it into Montenegro, and the post-Yugoslav period saw modest tourism development. Today it's a quiet border town with a small Muslim community and a reputation as a base for hiking the Prokletije range.
Best Time to Visit
Vollständiger Plav-Guide →Best months
July and August for reliable warm weather and full lake access, plus June for long daylight and fewer crowds.
Peak / festival surge

Weather & packing

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apartmani Timm, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or above, facing away from the main road. Upper floors in a three-storey building (typical for Plav) have less street noise and slightly better views of the lake or mountains.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street. In a small building without a lift, ground floor can pick up passing traffic from the main road through Plav, and may lack privacy with windows at pavement level.
Best views
Rooms on the first or second floor facing south-west or west will likely look over the town towards Plav Lake or the surrounding mountains (Visitor, Prokletije). The address 'Plav' is central, so upper floors with orientation away from the road give the best open vista.
Quietest floors
First and second floors (if building has 2-3 floors). Upper floors are quieter as they sit above street-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road through Plav has local traffic, especially in summer. The building has no lift, so third-floor guests will carry luggage up stairs (but gain quiet). Noise from neighbouring apartments or street-side cafes is possible on ground level.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, request a parking spot on the quieter side of the building or in the rear courtyard – street parking can be tight in summer. 2. Ask for a room on the first floor: you avoid ground-level noise and stairs are manageable. The building has no lift, so pack light or request help with bags.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
