    Lovely, friendly hosts, central location yet in the quiet area. Beautiful view from the balcony, frogs singing in the night.

    Nothing

    The hosts are kind, helpful and generous. It has a lovely homely atmosphere. The location is good in a nice and peaceful setting. There is a beach right outside the front door. The old town is a short walk away either by the road or over the hill. Walking over the hill gives you spectacular views, especially at sunset. We had a lovely time and would definitely return to Vila Sara in the future.

    The place was great and the hosts are very nice (we even had homemade cake for breakfast). We were traveling with a dog and there were enough places for walk near the lake. There are two options to get to the city center - one through the forest and Kaneo and another one crossing not the best neighborhood. Nevertheless our stay was perfect.

    It was an amazing stay with Lile and Hristo, and their daughter Sara. They were so kind! They took care of all our needs, and even prepared typical dishes for us for dinner! We had homemade Raskia and enjoyed dinner at sunset with a freshly prepared meal, all from their garden. They told us about the history of Ohrid. Also the location is really good, 100m away from the lake, 10min walking from the city center, 10min walking to the little church on the hill. Also the house looks great, in the middle of nature.

    There is no air conditioning but at night it becomes very cold so you don't need it.

    Amazing accommodation. Everything goes to the hosts. The first day that you come to ther place they tell you, where can you go to eat, where are good beaches and what do you have to see in Ohrid. You get welcome coffee or tea. Apartment is ok, you have a small kitchen but if you need bigger one you can go to the garden where is the outdoor kitchen with everything you need. From apartment you have amazing view on lake Ohrid. There is small bathroom, but it is ok. You have a lot of parking space next to Vila and it is free. You are 10- 15 minutes walk from the city centre, 4 minutes from beach and 6 minutes from market. Next to Vila you have Ohrid hill. There you must see: castle, old church, Romen theatre, old wall, .... Now the most amazing thing: Second day in Ohrid we had some health issues and at this point the hostess step up. At 10 p.m we heard a knock on the door. The hostess ask us if we are ok, she brings us some tea and chicken soup. At the morning she cooked us coffee and give us a fresh baked bagels and some vegetables from the garden. It was very easy to overcome sickness with such a host. I recommend staying here, and the next time we stay in Ohrid we will definitely stay in vila Sara.

    It was a small problem with a smell from the canal next to the house, but was solved until our leaving.The issue was not Sara's fault, so, is not a review related to them.

    The rooms are very nice, confortable with a beautiful sea view. The hosts are very kind and helpfull. We have in plan to come back. Thank you for hospitality.

    The hosts are wonderful people and we felt like staying with family. The house is in a perfect location right on the lake with a beautiful view, away from the city noise but still very close to the centre - you can walk there. WiFi is great if you need to work like we did. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    The room equipment was a bit basic, it was not essential for us since we only spent approximately 1,5 days and 2 nights in Ohrid, but for a long-term it could be difficult.

    Located in a nice, quite place with a private beach to the lake, absolutely amazing. Ideal property for a wide variety of tourists for families, and for youngsters as well. The centre is a bit far from there by walk, but we discovered a bunch of shops and restaurants within 10 minutes.

    We rented studio apartment and a two beds room but it wasn’t comfortable at all. The isolation is very bad, bathrooms are very small, pillows and towels are old, the water is terribly licking in both bathrooms, entering into the rooms. The price is over too high for this type of accommodation as we rented awesome and comfortable two bedroom apartment in the city center for much better price.

    Location is remote and quiet, close to the lake. Family who runs the villa are very polite.

    Superb location for beach relaxing, untackled heat and improvable facilities in the room

    Definitely it should be kept in mind that there is neither an air conditioner nor a ventilator to cool off which is truly problematic since the rooms are overheated in summer. For the amount of money paid for two nights it also striked us as negative that the facilities are quite outdated and should be replaced here and there which refers to inside room locks and hanging-from-the-wall cables. The service-price-ratio was therefore unfortunately resulting in being slightly above average. Not more and not less.

    Overall the best aspect of Vila Sara is the close proximity to a beach/beaches. After all in summer this is where you might want to spend your time for sure. Also we had in mind that we want to be somewhat distanced from the main centre of Ohrid due to it being overly loud during the night. The view from the balcony is top-notch and the location is more than just okay. If you want to arrive at the main centre of Ohrid nevertheless it will take you around 15 minutes by feet to get there which is bearable.
