Villa Ohrid

We stayed in the violet room (classed as the romantic studio on **********) and it was so lovely. Very spacious room with a double bed and small sofa/table with stools. It even has a fridge which is ideal for keeping food, milk and wine etc. The bathroom is quite tight. It was ok for us as we are quite small but if someone quite large was to stay it may be a bit uncomfortable. The kitchen is down a short corridor and you can help yourself to teas and coffee. It is well stocked with cutlery and kitchenware. We ate out, but had breakfast in the room/balcony (wrapped ourselves in the exact Ra blankets and it was so cosy) and it was ideal for this. The best part is the balcony, absolutely stunning views. Definitely stay in this room over the economy room as that was round the corner so you don't get the views or balcony space and it only cost £10 more to upgrade. The economy room is at the side of the house so you cant see much. Our balcony was a bit narrow but enough to get 2 people on. The owner, Cveta, was so lovely. Always answered our questions and speaks good English. Was very thoughtful and made sure we were always prepared with umbrellas! She recommended a local guide for us, Misko, who was brilliant and we saw so much with him. Public transport was nonexistent and taxis not that common, so having a reasonably priced guide was great. Location is spot on. So quiet in the old town, sometimes we were the only people walking in the street and you can only hear the birds in the morning. Within 10 mins you can be in the centre of Ohrid, where the boats depart/tours pick up. All the main sights in the old town are 5-10 mins walking away. Taxis can also drive by the apartment, which is handy. It cost us 15 euros/1000 dinar for a taxi from the airport. Overall this is a great base to explore this beautiful destination.

After cancelling a trip to Ohrid no less than 3 times due to Covid when it was finally safe to go I was determined to book the best place to stay in town and I found it here in the beautiful Panoramic apartment - all to myself. What a place! The moment you open the door you are met with that view which is always there to greet you. The location is wonderful - just 10 minutes from the town with the amphitheatre literally on the doorstep. I arrived on a Bank Holiday so the shops were shut but the host very kindly gave me some milk so that I could at least have breakfast. The convenience store up the road was open the following day for essentials with a larger supermarket in town. The apartment though really is wonderful with a lovely comfy bed, good WIFI, plenty of hot water and a well equipped kitchen with microwave and hob and of course your own balcony. In early May it was warm enough to sit outside for breakfast or for my evening meal watching the sun go down. The host is just lovely - always there when needed, but understanding when you don't - she arranged a taxi to take me to the airport which was really helpful and gave lots of tips for exploring the town - a lovely lady. I recommend this place to everyone!

We had the best experience at Villa Torres! Torres and his sons Branco and Tome went above and beyond to make this the best experience for us! Accommodations were beautiful, clean and in a fabulous location. Highly recommend! They treated us like family and went out of their way to make things easy for us, as we were travelling with our 85 year old father who has health issues. Their hospitality was second to none! Thank you Villa Torres (Torres, Tome and Branco)!!!
