In the heart of western Serbia, at the foot of Tara Mountain and right on the banks of the Drina River, lies Perućac – a picturesque settlement that enchants every visitor with its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and unique atmosphere. It is here, in the very center of Perućac, that Villa Drina is located – your ideal choice for a peaceful retreat in harmony with nature. Although Perućac is a small village with just a few hundred inhabitants, it hides some of Serbia’s most beautiful natural and cultural treasures.The most famous attraction in this area is the Vrelo River, also known as the “river of the year,” because it is exactly 365 meters long. Despite being one of the shortest rivers in Europe, Vrelo has everything great world rivers boast — a powerful spring, a fishpond, a watermill, bridges, and finally, a 10-meter-high waterfall that flows directly into the Drina. The waters of Vrelo are crystal clear and rich in trout, while the banks, covered with elm, maple, ash, and other tree species, create the perfect setting for walking and enjoying nature.
At the very entrance to Perućac lies Mramorje – a medieval necropolis of stećci tombstones dating back to the 14th century. This exceptionally well-preserved cultural monument is situated between the Drina River and the main road, and is protected by the Republic of Serbia as a cultural heritage site of exceptional importance. Nearby is the “Bajina Bašta” hydroelectric power plant, a perfect example of the blend between natural resources and modern technology, harmoniously integrated into the landscape of the region. Perućac is the perfect place for those who want to escape the city hustle and reconnect with nature—whether you enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, or simply seeking peace and quiet by the river.<br><br><br>
