The Concept
Agri-tourism as it should be.
The Italian agriturismo tradition — staying on a working farm, eating what it produces, spending time with the people who run it — was born from a simple idea: that the farm is worth experiencing, not just passing through.
Planina is that idea applied to the Rađevina hill country of western Serbia. A smallholder farm with orchards, forest, beehives and meadows. The accommodation is a single, well-appointed safari tent in the orchard. The experience is the land, the work, and the beekeeper who has kept thirty hives for as long as anyone can remember.
The Farm
Ten acres in the Planina hills.
A working smallholder farm — plum and apple orchards, hay meadows, beech forest on the slopes above. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Farmed by one family for generations.

Farming
Plums, honey, wild food.
Thirty beehives, plum orchards, wild porcini from the oak forest. Produce sold at harvest and shared with guests. Everything seasonal, everything from the land.

Nature
Wildflower meadow to beech canopy.
Mixed beech and oak forest covers the slopes above. The meadows below are rich in wildflowers and insects. Woodpeckers, nightingales, roe deer, bats after dark.

When to come
The farm changes with the seasons.
Blossom in the orchard. Wild garlic in the forest. Bees starting to work the early flowers. Quiet and green.
The long days. Hay cut in the meadow. Wildflowers at their peak. Evenings at the fire pit. Best time for the tent.
Plum harvest. Porcini and chanterelle in the forest. Rakija season. The hills turn gold and copper. Our favourite time.
The farm rests. Visits by arrangement for those who want the solitude. Wood smoke, quiet, and jars of summer honey.
