Ovo Malo Duše

Sarajevo


The six-room former Villa Wien has been rebranded and given a minor makeover but it retains an appealing mixture of comfort and old-world elegance. Each room has its own idiosyncratic charm. There's no reception so you will need to check in at the Wiener Café downstairs before it closes at 10pm.
