From a local table
On arrival there's a platter of local products, prosciutto and cheeses waiting. In the morning, if you like, a breakfast made from local ingredients — hot, whenever suits you.

About us · a family A-frame cottage near Kragujevac Not luxury from a catalogue. This is Šumadija.
A House & Spa is a family A-frame cottage on our grandparents' land in Donja Sabanta, about ten kilometres from Kragujevac. What waits for you isn't hotel gloss — it's local cheese and prosciutto on the table, greenery that rests your eyes and people who are genuinely glad you came.
The road in
Your break starts on the way.
- 0 km · Kragujevac
The city falls behind.
Only about ten kilometres separate you from central Kragujevac. Roll the window down — the air already feels different, and the pace slows with every kilometre.
- Hills of Šumadija
Greenery that rests your eyes.
Meadows, fields and forests in every shade of green. After a week in front of screens, your eyes finally get a break.
- 30 m to the house
The Zapis tree says hello.
A tree more than 200 years old, with a table and benches under its crown for your first morning coffee. When you see it, you've arrived.
- 10 km · You're here
The lights are on.
Stone base, wooden terrace and a hot tub waiting. Forest behind the house, Šumadija in front of you — and a weekend that has only just begun.

Who we are
If you're looking for marble, a front desk and a corridor of a hundred doors — you've got the wrong address.
There's no lobby here and no key card. There's a stone base, a wooden terrace and a hot tub under the stars. There's local cheese and prosciutto on the table when you arrive, greenery that rests your eyes and a silence you hear first and then fall for. And there are people who are genuinely glad to see you.

Nature meets comfort
Five things no catalogue lists.
We're not a hotel and we don't try to be. What we offer can't be ordered at a front desk — you live it, and then you remember it.
Greenery that rests your eyes
Forest behind the house, meadows and hills rolling to the horizon in front. Three and a half kilometres away, Žeželj peak opens a view over all of Kragujevac.

Our story
It all began long before the house.
-
01 · Family land
Land with a story and roots.
This is the land of our grandparents — with a story, roots and memories. That's why A House & Spa wasn't built by chance: every detail of this place carries a personal touch and a deep sense of pride.
-
02 · The house
We built it together.
We wanted to create something different in this part of Šumadija — a place that draws people to pause, breathe and discover beauty that too often gets overlooked. Not just somewhere to stay, but local warmth, nature and the comfort you'd expect, all in one.
-
03 · The vision
This is only the beginning.
Our plans go far beyond what you see today. Step by step, we want Donja Sabanta to become known — a place people come to for nature and remember for the feeling that stays long after they leave.

“A place you don’t come to just for the rest, but for the feeling that stays with you long after you leave.”
