Great location just 2 blocks inside the main gate of Ohrid and maybe 2 blocks to the lake, and a 10 minute walk to Samuel's Fortress, so it's central but quiet. Branislov is an excellent, helpful host. Wifi is fast, bed is comfortable.
Got a room with a peek-a-boo view of the lake. Same day laundry was only 15 Euro. They have a community kitchen area with free coffee/tea/cookies, which was appreciated. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hosts, location and hotel. The house and rooms are spotless clean, very cozy and functional. There is a common coffee room with free water, coffee, tea, soup, cookies and apples which is also very convenient for breakfast. The Villa is located in the heart of the old town, cannot be more central. Really loved our stay and happy to have found this gem!

Clean and comfortable room, very nicely set up (plenty of storage, safe, iron + board, coffee/tea facilities, fridge, and so on). It was great having the coffee/snacks room on the ground floor. The Villa is really close to great restaurants, the lakeshore, and the Saint Sophia church. We truly enjoyed our stay, and we look forward to our next visit.

We were very pleased to have chosen Villa Varosh for our stay at Lake Ohrid. On arrival we were worried we would be too far from everything but fears were unfounded. The accommodation is a really pleasant, short walk from all you need and nicely situated in the old town. The streets are quaintly cobbled and certainly quiet when we stayed. We had room 201 which had a lovely balcony with beautiful views of the lake, opposite shoreline and other parts of the town. The room was a decent size with, importantly, plenty of storage. VERY comfortable bed and a light, airy decor in both bedroom and en-suite. It always felt very welcoming arriving back at the hotel each day, with a cosy front entrance and the provision of snacks, fruit, coffee, etc was a welcome extra along with excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. All communication was great, and we had a really lovely stay. Would have no hesitation in recommending

Relaxing stay
Villa Varosh is in an ideal location. Situated in the heart of the old town and close to lots of restaurants and sightseeing. It’s a no frills hotel but perfect for a casual stay with thoughtful touches like the communal kitchen downstairs with coffee making facilities. Our balcony even had a partial view of the lake which was nice.

Great location
Great location, clean, balcony was lovely looking over the lake and self check in was easy and instructions clear. Nice to have coffee making facilities, biscuits and fruits available for guests at all times.
Bed a bit soft for my liking and unfortunately walls between rooms a bit paper thin - could hear the adjoining room’s shower and conversations which disrupted sleep.

A perfect experience deserves a perfect score, this place is a gem. Perfect location in the old town, the instructions from the hotel and communication ahead of our visit were excellent. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and shown to our lovely room, everything you could need was there and in good condition, it was clean, spacious and had a private outdoor terrace width seating. The hotel had a cosy communal seating area with complimentary tea coffee and biscuits, a thoughtful touch that typifies the attention to detail shown everywhere. As you can guess, we loved our stay!
