Place to sleep: Salaš 137, Čenej, Novi Sad, Serbia

About this place:

Salaš 137, Čenej, is a farm (salaš) inn and restaurant near the city of Novi Sad in north-central Serbia. Traveling north from Belgrade, you enter Vojvodina, a mostly autonomous province of Serbia. The region is known for its diverse topography, from the broad Vojvodina plain to the hills of the Fruška Gora national park, which, in addition to containing lovely natural scenery, have a number of Orthodox monasteries open to the public. Novi Sad is a convenient hub from which to explore the region, but even more appealing are the remote farm house inns dotting the plain near Novi Sad. These inns, despite their simple, numbered names, take their food seriously, and because the region is also known for its wines, wine and gourmet food connoisseurs will leave well-satisfied, without breaking the bank. Salaš 137 is down a tree-lined drive in the tiny community of Čenej. (Getting directions beforehand is important!) They have comfortable accommodations in former farm buildings, as well as delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. They have an Equestrian Club, as well as a Slow Food Club. A unique place to stay and dine in a unique corner of the Balkans.
