Villa Anri

I have stayed at this hotel four times in the past 8 years. I always come here and immediately feel at ease and begin to wind down. The rooms have this calming effect on me as does the calling to prayer from the mosque. The staff is often new due to seasonal changes and yet after a few minutes with them I feel as if we are old friends. I have known Sabina, the hotel manager, for all of these years and she is as knowledgeable, genuinely open, and generous a person as one could ever meet. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with her on my visit, insofar as she had several business meetings that she had to work around. This time Ena and Rebecca 'rounded out' the staff and we discussed in depth the past and future of Bosnia. I also want to give a shout out to Samir, a new friend with whom I had several fascinating conversations and who drove me to the bus station.
