Once our family home, now a place where we create new stories. Set on a quiet Sarajevo hillside above Baščaršija, Andar's People combines the warmth of a family home with the comfort of carefully designed accommodation.

Five rooms, each with its own character, a garden apartment and Sarajevo – a city waiting just beyond the doorstep.

Our story

The house where we were born and raised

Andar's People is a traditional two-storey Sarajevo house – once our family home, today a warm place of welcome for travellers from all over the world.

This is the house where we grew up, surrounded by family, stories and the everyday moments that made it our home. Over time we carefully renovated it, preserving its spirit and character while giving it a new purpose – to host people who want to experience Sarajevo in a more personal and authentic way.

Every room has its own name and a character of its own. Carefully chosen details, little corners for enjoying tea and views of Sarajevo's red rooftops and the green hills around the city make every stay special.

We believe travel is not only about sightseeing and visiting new places. It is about getting to know the rhythm of a city, its people, and the feeling that you have found your own little corner of home, even when you are far from your own.

We are always happy to share our favourite places, small local gems and recommendations that will help you get to know Sarajevo beyond the usual tourist routes.

We look forward to hosting you!

With love,
Maida — your host

Maida also runs Caffe Bar Andar at Sarači 22, right in the heart of Baščaršija. Set in a former shoemaker's workshop, it is full of little reminders of the old craft — just like the shoe-named rooms at the guest house. Sit down for traditional dibek coffee served in a džezva, a piece of baklava and a homemade juice, and watch the old town go by.
