FranceThere's a comforting feeling about settling into a secluded cocoon amidst natural surroundings, a brisk walk through nature is easily rewarded as soon as you spot this little floating haven, where the gentle movement of water nurses your sleep. Faraway memories of Kashmir's houseboats kept emerging during my stay. Slow down for a monute, and enjoy some hot tea ( supplies are generously provided ) that you may sip on your private floating terrace, spacious and offering sweeping views over the wondrous Ada bridge, lake life and Belgrade's maze of elevated highways, a fascinatong visual reminder that you are nevertheless in the heart of the Serbian capital. Interesting waterfowl and old trees surround you and the cabin, although slightly smaller than the terrace, is compactly provided with everything you need for a confortable stay, and suffices for one or two intimate persons. Niki's hospitality is at a par with the famed Serbian warmth towards visitors and guests, with an elegant French twist, and that is also reflected on the numerous details of the decoration, that she has painstakingly made by herself. Upon my evening arrival, I was welcomed by my graceful host and her two lovely daughters, and I'm sure a chat with 5 years old Helena will also be unforgetable for you. Since all practicalities are ecological ( you are provided with an abundance of water jugs, the electicity needs are reduced to what you really need and solar powered ) your stay contributes to the preservation of the national park at its most pristine. Niki will advise you on nearby conveniente shows, supermarkets and Atms... Overall, a very interesting base for (re)discovering Belgrade, unwinding in between your explorations, and a definite experience in itself..
