Villa Ruža

Villa Ruža is absolutely wonderful and is (in our humble opinion) the best place to stay in Međugorje! The location was very convenient for our family's visit with our 2 children (ages 12 and 18). It is a very short walk (perhaps 5 minute) to the path leading to Apparition Hill. It is also about a 5 minute drive (also walkable - 2.8 km/ 1.73 miles) to the parking area where we started the trek up to the Križevac (or “Cross Mountain”). Additionally, Villa Ruža is a short 12 minute walk (via path/ shortcut) to the Church of Saint James the Greater (Apostle). And while you're in the area of Saint James Church, don't forget to also visit the Naša Majka Museum and Art gallery. The Naša Majka Museum museum is a place all pilgrims must visit while in Medjugorje - the multimedia kiosks provide a way to play videos in several languages and is a great way to learn more about the historical facts of Međugorje. Villa Ruža is situated with a serene backdrop with beautifully landscaped grounds and views and has plenty of parking. And you will appreciate the parking when you realize the limited parking spaces other visitors must contend with when visiting Apparition Hill, especially during the busy holiday periods. The owner (Dario and his family) are wonderful and went out of their way to make us feel at home. They are actively involved in the management/ operation of this beautiful property; as noted by others, they maintain an exceptionally high standard when it comes to cleanliness and the comfort of their guests. Aside from their warm and welcoming nature, they were also extremely helpful in answering any questions and providing valuable insights into the history of the local area and region. When we visit again, Villa Ruža is where we will once again stay. It will also be the place that we recommend to family, friends, and members of our ministry when visiting Međugorje.

Very quiet and peaceful! And the staff went out of their way to accommodate us arriving very late in the evening and also preparing breakfast for us. They also delivered extra fruit and croissants to our room on two different occasions. The property is located at the foot of the Apparition Hill which was very convenient for our morning and afternoon veneration.

very clean rooms, very nice and polite receptionist . Great location, we were able to walk to all places in Medugorje, close distance to everywhere so no need to drive. Available car parking. very good location for families with kids, there is green space/garden in front of hotel so kids have possibility to play in front of hotel on green grass and not on the street.

Very friendly host, warm welcome and nice chat upon arrival. Whole facility was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast was just as expected, not fancy, but delicious. Surrounding is nice and quiet. In general, our stay was very satisfying.

We enjoyed our stay in the Villa. Our room is very clean, bathroom floor and wall were even shiny. They provide good breakfast, freshly cooked eggs and hot dogs in the morning, fruits, croissants, bread, espresso, etc.. they also provide fresh fruits in the room. The owner is very hospitable and even arranged for our transportation from Montenegro and SJJ airport, including our local trips. They have an elevator. They have a tranquil garden that I will surely miss during our breakfast. Alf restaurant Is just around the corner about a minute walk from the Villa for lunch and dinner. The garden enhances your relaxation with the grotto for Mother Mary, and the sound of birds and sight of butterflies flying around. Location is also great, away from the busy street and stores but 5 min walk and you’re at the bottom of the Apparition Hill and about 15 minute walk to the church. This place is a jewel if you want to get away from busy life and relax or enhance your spirituality. Price is also exceptional. Thank you Mr. Dario for your kind hospitality. Also, kudos to Mr. Milenko our driver who provided a safe transportation to our travels.
