Guest comments
'We enjoyed the house - the place is done up so well and being there feels like you are part of a community and not just a tourist. It was absolutely stunning. The neighbours were so welcoming and it was a great start to the day to be invited for the Turkish coffee and Pelinkovac and Rakia.'
