and joyful
social life

 
All your worries and cares fade away when you arrive in one of the Serbian villages that have maintained its distinctive atmosphere. You will find yourself surrounded by true and unspoiled nature with scenery, fragrance and sounds you've probably never experienced. And lush greenery is all around: cool clusters of trees, placid farmland, meadows, grasslands, orchards. This green and deeply shaded setting in summer wear a golden yellow costume with the approach of autumn. In spring time water gushes out of the sides of mountains and hills, crystal clear and icy cold, and the uplands are literally carpeted with flowers. As a natural setting for walking and hiking, this must be the ideal place for a short and peaceful relaxing holiday.

Villagers remain isolated despite the coming of modern roads. The population remains agricultural and the countryside has not lost its traditional character, even if cousins abroad have sent money back home in order to build some extravagant dwellings, and even if urban development is to some extent displacing farmers. Your hosts still await their guests according to traditional ways - with the honey, coffee and plum brandy. During the stay you'll enjoy homemade food; baking the bread is still the job of the housewife.
