Karanovac · Banja Luka · Bosnia & Herzegovina
A riverside villa for getaways and gatherings - family days, celebrations, team buildings and work-from-nature escapes. Pool, jacuzzi, direct access to a beach on the Vrbas - and fully fenced, so it is pet friendly too.
Book Your StayThe Villa
Built into the hillside on the banks of the Vrbas, the villa stays naturally cool through the hottest summer days. A panoramic living room with fireplace frames the pool and river below; the balcony opens straight onto the water view. Three bedrooms with double beds - including a private gallery loft - a fully equipped kitchen with two large fridges, two bathrooms, and a covered terrace made for long dinners and gatherings.
Accessible for guests with reduced mobility: the garden and the lower level of the villa can be reached without difficulty, the ground-floor corner sofa can be arranged as a bed, and a WC is available on the same level.

Comfort & Amenities
Outdoor pool with sunbathing deck, jacuzzi, and loungers under wide parasols.
Fireplace lounge with floor-to-ceiling glass and an uninterrupted river view.
Garden dining for eight with a traditional wood-fired oven, BBQ and "sač" equipment.
Your four-legged family members are welcome. The entire property is fully fenced, so pets roam safely - and so do small children.
The ground floor rests against the hillside - refreshingly cool in summer without air conditioning (though AC is there if you want it).
Private garage plus up to five open parking spaces inside the property.
Inside the Villa
The ground floor gathers everyone around a large dining table between the open kitchen and the lounge. One floor up, the fireplace living room opens to the balcony; a spiral staircase leads to the private gallery loft.

Ground floor: open-plan space with a large dining table for eight, lounge corner and TV, next to the kitchen.

Fully equipped - two large fridges, oven, dishwasher and everything for family cooking.

First floor: fireplace lounge under a wooden ceiling, floor-to-ceiling glass towards the pool, and a spiral staircase up to the gallery loft.

Double bed, oak panelling, reading lights and soft sheepskin underfoot.

Calm tones, blackout velvet curtains and garden-side windows.

A private top-floor hideaway with its own double bed.

The River
Steps lead from the garden straight down to the river beach. Along the bank the water is shallow, clear and gentle - perfect for small children. Swimmers head for the deeper mid-river current, and twenty metres upstream a run of small rapids gives the best natural massage in Bosnia. In the evening, take a seat on the riverside lounge set and watch rafts drift past.
Gatherings & Celebrations
Spend a day by the Vrbas - or bring your people and make it an occasion. The garden, covered terrace, pool and river beach host everything from small family milestones to team days out.
On the Water & Beyond
The villa sits just a few kilometres downstream from the course of the World Rafting Championship - commercial rafting tours pass directly in front of the house.
Ride the same canyon that hosted the World Championship. Tours pass the villa daily in season.
Paddle the calm emerald stretch in front of your beach, or explore further by boat.
The Vrbas is famous among fly-fishers - cast a line without leaving the property.
Forest trails, river springs and a thermal spa centre all within easy reach.
