Looking for where to stay in Valjevo? In Park Villa is where you’ll want to be. It’s not one of those places that’s too flashy or overpriced — it’s just right. What I like about it? It’s got that perfect mix of charm and comfort, set right in the middle of a peaceful park. You can actually hear yourself think, which is rare these days. It’s got everything you need, but doesn’t try too hard to impress — and that’s exactly why I like it. You’ll love it too.
Valjevo might not be on the tourist trail, but it’s full of surprises.
After a day of exploring, you’ll need a good place to crash, and these three spots are my top picks.
They’re not the cheapest, but they’re definitely worth it.
In Park Villa
In Park Villa? Oh, it’s like your favorite comfort food wrapped up in a hotel. You walk in, and you immediately feel at home, but with that extra touch of luxury. It’s got that all-important Wi-Fi (because, yes, you will need to check your emails at some point), a hot tub for when you want to unwind in style, and a garden where you can pretend you’re on holiday in the Mediterranean.
I’m a fan of the rooms here – they’ve got space, they’re clean, and they’ve got all the essentials like air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a fridge (for all the cold drinks you’ll definitely need after a day in the sun). I also have to mention the restaurant that does Italian food because when in Serbia, sometimes you just want pasta.
Plus, they’ve got great options if you’re into vegan, gluten-free, or vegetarian eats. And, for those with kids, they’ve got animators to keep them busy – so you can actually relax. It’s not the cheapest place, but you’ll feel pampered, and isn’t that what holidays are for? View room gallery >>
Villa BonnaDea
Villa BonnaDea is for people who like a little extra. If you’re one of those who thinks, “If I’m staying somewhere, it better feel like home and a luxury retreat,” this is the place for you. It’s a mix of modern, sleek, and practical – like a super-charged Airbnb, but without the hassle of figuring out how to work the oven.
The apartments come with kitchens, so you can cook up something local if you’re feeling adventurous. Or, you could just pop downstairs to the restaurant, which serves up some seriously good European cuisine. The air-conditioned rooms are a blessing, especially in the summer, and the terrace is perfect for soaking up the atmosphere of Valjevo at your own pace.
My favorite thing? The location – it’s just close enough to the Divčibare Mountains for a quick getaway, and also close enough to the center for a good old-fashioned stroll. It might be a bit pricier than other spots, but it’s got that feel-good factor that makes it worth it. View room gallery >>
Magazaki Apartments Tešnjar
Let’s talk about Magazaki Apartments Tešnjar. It’s no-frills, but in a good way. If you’re like me and sometimes prefer an apartment where you can get a bit of independence but still have all the creature comforts, this is the place.
The apartments are spacious, with all the basics – think air-conditioning (thankfully), free Wi-Fi (because you’re going to want it), and, importantly, a kitchen. Perfect for when you’re just too lazy to go out for food and want to make your own. Oh, and some apartments even have a balcony, which is a lovely bonus if you like a good view while sipping your morning coffee. It’s also located near the Divčibare Mountains, so you’ve got nature practically at your doorstep.
The prices here are a little bit more, but the ability to cook your own meals and have that extra space is well worth it. It’s simple, it’s comfortable, and honestly, I think it’s the kind of place where you could kick back and just enjoy Valjevo at your own pace. View room gallery >>
