Kraljevo,
taken at your pace.
A medieval monastery, a walkable old center, and the Ibar valley just beyond. Our corner of central Serbia is best discovered slowly.
The red church
in the hills.
Founded in the early 13th century, Žiča is one of the most important Serbian Orthodox monasteries - the place where seven medieval Serbian kings were crowned. Its distinctive red walls, ancient frescoes, and quiet courtyard are a short drive from the hotel.

A walkable
old center.
Kraljevo's central square - the famous round Trg Srpskih Ratnika - is lined with cafes, plane trees, and the monument that gave the square its name. A short walk around it covers the best of the city's everyday life.
The Ibar valley.
South of Kraljevo, the Ibar river opens into a long green valley - winding roads, small villages, the Maglič fortress on a hilltop, and Studenica Monastery further on. A perfect day trip from the hotel.
