Vila Drina

Tara National Park


This cute hotel sits beside the tiny Vrelo River (365m long) and the mighty Drina; it's a good base for Tara activities or for simply escaping from the world. The building itself – more like a stately home than a hotel – is old, but has been renovated; rooms aren't posh, but they're comfortable and modern enough.
