The words that come to mind regarding my stay in Dembelija are the following: authentic beauty, tame nature, gentle air, the artistic flair of the hosts, ethnic charm, loving care for the premises... However, what is also present is a certain magic, the tenderness of the Serbian countryside, the charm of the Balkan soul and the soothing quality of the preserved ethnic art and architecture. The small but lovely park surrounding the house will heal your worn urban senses. The old but thick with history wooden furniture in the house will remind you that beauty outlasts all else. The fine and carefully chosen ethnic elements such as the carmine red rugs and the white embroidered curtains will tell you the story of a proud, noble people, who have known defeat but choose endurance. The curved hills of the village of Bacevac will narrate the tale of a land which returns to its roots to nurse its historical wounds. Should you choose to wonder about the Balkans, and especially about Serbia, come to Dembelija (a mythological land of plenty) and fill your senses with the loveliness of a home cherished and a land treasured. I thank the hosts for sharing their spirit unselfishly. I tip my hat to a story of a dignified and proud Serbia narrated by Dembelija.

Srdjan and his wife were amazing, greeting us kindly after a long snowy drive from Sarajevo with some of their Rakija (fruit-based alcohol, popular in the Balkans), homemade pastries, home-smoked meats, cheese, and fruit. They were extremely kind and the apartment is cozy, they started a fire for us before we arrived.

Its been a wonderful experience of visiting this lovely place Dembelija and meeting those lovely and warm people, Biljana and Srdjan Katic. We have been pleasantly surprised with more than warm welcoming by Serdjan and Biljana and all given support concerning many other matters. Certainly, we would like to encourage other prospective travellers to use the opportunity and visit Dembelija, they shall not regreat at all. Again, dear Srdjan and Biljana, we wish yuo all the best in New 2014 and for sure, we are looking forward to meet with yuorselves again. God bless !

Very nice house with garden. Everything is made with love. Srdjan was most helpful person we met during our trip. He kept helping us even when we moved to another house in Bacevac :)

Srdjan and Biljana were such kind and courteous hosts. Dembelija a beautiful property on a quiet street, and they did their best to make us feel accommodated from showing us around the small village of Bacevac (and surrounding Barajevo) to let us know where stores and restaurants were to sharing their Serbian Easter traditions with us! Both me and my friend that I stayed with would definitely stay at Dembelija again - it was really nice to be in this wonderful village that, at the same time, is quite close to Belgrade!

I would like to express a lot of thanks to the owners of Dembelija – Srdjan and his wife. Their hospitality has no bounds! It was a very warm welcome – with entertainments, stories and music. The house itself is quite small but very comfortable, in ethnic style and with many interesting hand-made things. There’s everything you need for life (even in winter). So, staying in the house was a pleasure for us. One sunny day we played snowballs in the garden and sculptured snowpeople )) The village Bacevac is nice for walking, especially one place (shown us by Srdjan) worth seeing – an ethno-house Zornicha Kucha – really unusual! When leaving the house we were given some nice and delicious presents. Thanks to our host again! If you wish to know Serbia from inside, come to Dembelija! :)

Srdjan's was very welcoming and accommodating - when we arrived, dinner had already been prepared. The house was as described, and Srdjan went out of his way to help us schedule horseback riding lessons nearby. I recommend Dembelija to anyone else staying in the area.

This place is like a page off a fairytale! My boys and I stayed at Srdjan's Denbelija for a week and we totally chilled out. We spent days in the sun, lying in his garden hammocks and his neighbour who is a chef, prepared all our dinners for us and we were so lucky to enjoy Serbia's delicacies and specialty dishes, home cooked and delivered to our outdoor dining table. What a treat!

Lovely place. Lovely stay we had.

Alles war so wie wirs erwartet haben. Besonders nett war Darko, der sich um alles gekümmert hat.

Pros. cozy place with good swimming pool! Nos.Kitchen things were not clean. Privacy issue: The person who is responsible for watering the plants entered the villa suddenly (night time) to finish some work.

Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis. La maison correspondait bien aux photos. Bel endroit, calme et bien équipé.

We enjoyed our peaceful time here. A couple good things and bad things. It was hard to find but ended up finding it. Very beautiful view and garden. It was to cold to swim but would have loved to. House was a bit dirty, dusty and spiders. Darko was so very helpful but didn't speak any English, we had to drive the key to his moms house when we left so that was a hassle. We cooked and it made all the other appliances broke but Darko came and fixed it.

Really nice house with beautiful garden and pool. Sometimes we thought that we are in a doll house :) But note that it makes more sense to visit it during warm sunny days.

We didn't get the oppurtunity to meet Diana, but we keeped in contact by sms. The house is clean and located very well. There is a minisupermarket just around the corner. The village is 5 minutes by car. The view from the house is amazing and we loved the swimmingpool and barbecue. Belgrado is just 30 minutes by car. We thanks Diana that we could stay at her beautiful and quiet house.

La maison correspond bien à l'annonce. Nous n'avons pas vu l'hôte mais une personne (Darko) était la pour nous accueillir et était disponible pour toutes questions. Nous avons pu profiter de la piscine pendant ces 3 jours le temps était au rendez vous. Tout était parfait. Nous y retournerons. Lepo smo se proveli bas nam se dopalo. Sigurno icicemo opet.

This is an extremely cosy place! The hosts are having a great taste in design - it's just a great pleasure to stay! Even though outside it was cold, thanks to the heating system - the house was warm super fast. A perfect place on the nature, if you would like to get out of city routine! If I could put 6/5 stars in the rating - I would certainly did :) Totally recommended!

Cottage is absolutely gorgeous and so warm and comfortable. Had the opportunity to purchase lots of organic food like honey, wine, eggs, vegetables, fruit, turkey, chicken etc. Catherine was an absolute pleasure to deal with, so much, that I have decided to stay another month.

Highly recommended! We had a wonderful stay. Comfortable, relaxing, quiet, and enjoyable.

If you are interested in a peaceful family friendly countryside retreat, this is probably the best place ever. Look no further! You will love it. It's a special place, full of the energy of a happy, loving family. Every detail is carefully thought out. It's the exact opposite of a soulless hotel room, but a lot more comfortable and cleaner. The house is almost at the end of a cul-de-sac with a few other neighbors. We took various hikes on the surrounding hills and met many nice local people. If you are with a car, you can park it inside the large garden. There is a playhouse for children and plenty of space to run around in the garden for pets too. Our visit was in November and the wood heaters were more than enough to heat the place for our 4 month old baby. All appliances in kitchen and bathroom are new and modern. We had everything we needed. Stove, oven, dishwasher, kettle, washing machine and even an electric dryer. A beautiful morning light fills up the living room in the morning. I can imagine long breakfasts in the garden near the pool during summer. We only stayed a week in total but it left us wanting to live here. Catherine was very easy and efficient to communicate with. She explained everything perfectly and made sure we had a great experience even though she wasn't in town. Milan, the neighbor helped us with everything we needed and more. He delivered us firewood and food every morning. He even went grocery shopping for us. He is the go-to-man for anything you may need. He knows the house very well and takes care of it in Katherine's absence. All in all, we are extremely happy we stayed here and will be coming back.

My mum, me and our dog stayed in Kucica Lavanda in February/March. What we liked: + The house is nice and has a good size - it's not too big, not too small + The house is comfortable and has all equipment + Milan, the neighbour, is very helpful and approachable + Rural location and no traffic near the house What we didn’t like: - The house is heated by two wood burners. At the time of booking, the listing didn’t include any information regarding the fact that guests were supposed to buy their wood. The day we arrived to the house we were quite surprised to learn that we needed to buy the wood (30euro/m3). The owner later added to the listing the information that the price of wood was not included in the rental after we suggested it would be good to inform her guests about the extra cost. - The owner informed us that we were supposed to register at the police, however didn’t tell us it had to be done within 3 days after our arrival to the house (this is the requirement of the Serbian law when you stay in a private house in Serbia, as we found out later). We went to register with Milan on the 6th day and it was not a nice experience, the police was quite upset and unpleasant because we came to register late. - The internet was very slow for the last week of the month. - Not much privacy in the garden. - Real nature is far from the house and a car is necessary. Overall, we would rate this place 3,5 out of 5.

The apartment is cosy and would suit either couple or solo traveller. Located just 30 minutes ride by bus from the heart of the city. Dejan was very welcoming and accommodating, has managed to arrange an early check out as well as late check in due to my flight being delayed. Thanks for being a great host.

If you looking for a nice clean and quiet place,call Dejan. His apartment is great for rest and for enjoing.

This place is really unique. Location is 25 minutes by car from Belgrade. Girlfriend and me was looking for a quite place outside Belgrade and this was the perfect one if you like living in the nature. It's also kinda a strange experience, as this house is made out of wood, with a grass rooftop. It really reminds me of a hobbit house. There is also the lower part of the property with a bar, pingpong and a small river passing by. Basically if you are looking for a different kind of Belgrade experience with trees and greenery all around, but also close to Belgrade (there is also a public transportation 5minutes away) then this is the place. Thank you Velimir for hosting us!

Every thing is great.

Awesome place and awesome host. The place is something completely different from anything else and the experience is just amazing. If you can spare a couple of nights away from the city and modern life, just go there and you'll be blown away!!

Beautyfull little house in the forest, i must admit that I did not expect to be so clean and neat since it is a "hobitt house"... You actualy have feeling that you are part of the nature even if you ara just about 10-15m "deep" in forest :) Strongly recomended for little more adventurer souls

Super , ravie d'arriver dans un endroit aussi propre et chaleureux. Merci encore à Sasa . Je reviendrai avec le plus grand plaisir.

One top class apartment for such low price. Must admit I was bit sceptical in first but to my surprise couldn't find one thing to complain about. Sense for the details was something that makes this apartment better than the others. If you're first time in Belgrade all needed informations hangs on the wall so you won't be cheated by taxi or foodsuppliers. Still can't believe that price is so low. 10/10

Saša nas je jako lepo ugostio . Hval na srdačnom dočeku i svim informacijama koje nam je posredovao u svako doba dana . Sve pohvale ! Stan je komotan i čist sa svim što treba za ugodan boravak. Preporučujem. Još jednom punno pozdrava i hvala do sledećeg viđenja. Igor ,Rahela i Azarja

Sasa you and your apartment were awesome! It's adorable, very clean and very spacious. Perfect for me, and the extended TV channels was a plus. If you're debating staying here, do it!

L'appartement est difficilement trouvable, il correspond aux photos et il est vraiment bien équipé et sympa. Je recommande!

We had very nice and comfortable stay at Bojana 's apartment. It is well equipped with all necessities one may need ; also it is walking distance from shops , restaurants , public transport . We would be back again . Bojana, we thank you for your hospitality :)))) M i R

Bojana is a kind, warm, welcoming lady. She had goodies waiting for including a few beers and wine. The place is cozy and close to restaurants and public transport. I would not worry about the place not being in Belgrade because public transportation is very close. The place is great value. We would highly recommend it.

Unser Gastgeber war sehr nett und aufmerksam gegenüber unseren Wünschen! Sie fragte schon bei der Kontaktaufnahme nach unseren Getränkewünschen, die sie ohne Aufpreis für uns besorgte, damit wir uns nach der Ankunft stärken konnten. Außerdem besorgte sie Snacks und beriet uns über Aktivitäten und Sights in der Stadt. Sie kennt die Stadt sehr gut und war sehr hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung selber war sehr sauber und bot alles, was man auch in einem Hotel erwarten würde: Frische Handtücher, bereits bezogenes Betten, Hygieneartikel, Kabelfernsehen, vorgeheizte Zimmer, etc. Während des Trips war sie immer erreichbar und wir haben uns auch privat einmal mit Ihr getroffen. Von Anfang bis Ende fühlten wir uns bei Ihr gut aufgehoben und konnten uns damit ohne großen Aufwand auf unseren Trip konzentrieren. Ich würde sie jedem empfehlen, der nach Belgrad reisen möchte.

This is my second time in bojanas house everything is again perfect she is so lovely house is so clean and there is everything in her house.once again i enjoyed a lot thank you bojana !!!!!

Everything is absolutely amazing !!!! You will feel like your own place entire your stays ! Me and my girlfriend totally statistied during the stays! Thank you Bojana !

We have had many wonderful airbnb hosts, and Bojana is right up at the top! Highly recommended. Plus, the apartment is very convenient and exactly as pictured, with a wonderful balcony which we enjoyed. The apartment has everything you need for a short or long stay with clean bedsheets and lots of fresh towels, and kitchen supplies. Climate (A/C), fast cable wifi and extended cable TV, round the picture. The location is a quick bus ride into the center, and within walking distance of everything we needed… Very convenient! We could always reach Bojana on the phone if we had any questions or needed something concerning our stay in Beograd and in her flat. The neighborhood is fantastic, very quiet but extremely close to everything that someone might need: several super markets, pharmacies, bakeries, kafana cafes, restaurants and best of all a wonderful farmer’s market and more make up the Vidikovac or “Panorama Outlook” urban area of Belgrade. The elevation and greenery of the area allowed us to recover from the heat and smog of central Beograd those days we had spent previously, and Bojana was able to help us with an emergency room visit by arranging for her cousin with Pink Taxi. We really enjoyed staying in Bojana’s apartment and I consider it as an excellent choice for anyone wanting a different aspect of beautiful Beograd to experience as a local, but without losing opportunity to see the tourist sites as well!

Bojana's flat is very cozy and well-equipped. It offers far greater value than the price suggests. On top of that, Bojana is a very generous person, providing us with more than we would expect for such a budget-friendly accommodation deal (such as refreshments, snacks, hygiene products, and let alone Bojana's sincere, warm and pleasing approach). We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Thanks a million, Bojana!

Bojana est une hôte très accueillante ! Ses conseils pratiques ont été appréciés.

Beautiful place, feel at home!

A nice, clean and quiet appartment on the suburbs of Belgrade next to the forsest. The view from the balcony is fantastic. Highly recommended if you have a car.

Great pool, beds and people. The advertisement is very confusing because its basically 3 accommodations advertised in one on Airbnb. They moved our group a couple of times in other apartments because of other bookings...

The place was nice and as seen on the photos also everything was very clean however it was our fault not to read all the descriptions about the place and we thought that we were renting the whole villa. There is a complex of 2-3 villas with a shared swimming pool. The place is runned by a very friendly familly with friendly daughters and sisters. Overall we were in a different place than what we were expected (again this was totaly our mistake) however . everything was ok.

Ivan was a great host, his place is great if you want to have a good rest or have a good party in Belgrade. Very clean and great environment. Everything was as expected and even more than that. Thank you Ivan!

Great place with amazing pool. Very clean and fancy. Hardly recommended

As soon as we arrived, we had a warm, Serbian welcome. Maja's family made sure we had cookies and cold drinks ready in the fridge (God bless them, we were thirsty!). The apartment was amazing, spacious, clean and comfortable, even better than what we saw in the photos, everything we needed was at walking distance and our hosts were amazingly helpful in every way possible! The neighborhood was calm, clean and green. Our hosts made us feel so welcome that once we left, we felt like we're leaving home. This apartment will definitely be our choice next time we'll be in Belgrade. We couldn't recommend it more!

A nice appartament in a nice area

Maja and her family were lovely, they prepared the property and left fridge full of cold drinks and cookies for us. The cold drinks were very much appreciated as Belgrade was +41c! We told them that we will be arriving around 19pm but due to unforeseen problems on the road and border crossing we arrived pas midnight. We called the number supplied and Maja and her husband showed up wishing 10 min and we really really apriciated that. thank you very much for all your efforts!!

Gorąco polecam. Gospodarz, bardzo pomocny i wyrozumiały. Pomimo naszego opóźnionego przyjazdu udostępnił nam mieszkanie bez problemu. Miły i życzliwy. Jeśli chodzi o mieszkanie to jest w bardzo dobrym stanie i z ładnym widokiem na panoramę. Obok mieszkania są sklepy i miejsce do zaparkowania auta. Pokoje czyste i duże, a kuchnia w pełni wyposażona. Podsumowując POLECAM!

We stayed at Maja's place for 2 weeks over the holidays and it was a great experience. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us, and the location, which is a few minutes by bus outside of the old city was perfect for our needs. My 19 year old son, who isn't overly adventurous was able to quickly and easily master the bus system for days when he didn't feel like hanging out with my husband's family, who live nearby. The location is very close to a grocery store and a few local restaurants. It's not luxurious - but it is cozy - and we were not looking for a place to hang out - just a place to sleep. The one issue we had was very quickly fixed by our very friendly hosts. Highly recommended!

Amazing friendly people, a clean, big and cosy flat. They did everything so we could feel at home. A good place to stay when you are in Belgrade.

Maja and Lubja were so friendly and kind! They and their children (adorable!) met us with cookies and soda and juice and told us all about the area and apartment. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Everything was in good working order and the internet worked fine, but with the exception of having to restart the modem continuously. The area of the apartment is lovely and has all of the amenities - a nice little grocery market is just across the street. Lubja and his father have an amazing little eatery below the apartment! I would strongly suggest that everyone eat there and try all of the selections - for us who do not speak Serbian and have never experienced the food, it was not only the tastiest option, but Lubja explained the dishes and what was in them. He also spent a great deal of time answering my questions about Serbia, customs, politics and culture. When several us became ill (stomach virus we had been fighting throughout our travels and nothing that happened there!), they allowed us to rent the apartment for a few extra days until we were well. Lubja offered fresh herbs from the garden and was very kind in every way. There are also some lovely woods and country areas for walking. Very peaceful and beautiful area! We loved our stay there and will go back to Serbia soon - will definitely want to stay at Maja and Lubja's apartment again!

The host was perfect. they have a restaurant below the amenity so the communication was very easy. the location is not the best however when you think the rate its perfect.
