Hello, I’m Žarko — the host of Konak Ramonda Serbica, and someone who believes that the true meaning of hospitality lies in how guests feel, not in the size or category of the property. I was born in the city, but Sićevo has always been my second home — a place I visited since childhood, where I learned the stories of the gorge, the vineyards, the old wine cellars and mountain paths. Over the years, I realized that this region is where I feel most fulfilled, and I returned with the idea of creating a warm home for everyone seeking peace, nature and sincere hospitality. Guests often say that “Žarko gives his heart and soul so you would feel wonderful” — and that is the greatest compliment for me. I enjoy sharing local stories, showing guests the best viewpoints, presenting our 250-year-old wine cellar, tasting local wine together or simply recommending the quietest trails. In reviews, guests mention our “warm welcome”, “homemade food”, “pure hospitality” and that it was “hard to leave” — and for us, that is the biggest reward. Our motto is simple: “The smile on our guests’ faces is our greatest profit.” That is the spirit you will feel as soon as you arrive. Welcome to Sićevo — welcome home. Žarko and Violeta
