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

    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...

Situated in a peaceful part of the city, right on the lake, and still near the city center, Vila Sara features accommodation with free parking, wifi, and access to a garden with barbecue, kitchen, and front yard gazebo. Also, the best thing is that the nearest beach is on 5 minutes from here on foot. The house is located by the lake under the hill which is mostly known by the Samoil's fortress. From our house, there is a paved path all the way to the fortress and the old city. Also through the same paved path, you can reach the most beautiful wild beach Labino. So all the must-see things in Ohrid will be next to you. That's the best thing about this location, of course besides the beach. Offering lake views, and garden views, all units come with a kettle, 1 flat-screen TV, a fully equipped private bathroom with shower, and a hairdryer. Ironing facilities are in the common area where everybody can use them. Additionally we are offering you to rent a SUP(stand-up paddle) board and enjoy paddling in one of the most beautiful parts of the Ohrid Lake. And finally, for the adventure enthusiasts, we can organise hiking tours with a professional mountain guide, UIAA certified. You can get more information at our check-in desk.
I am Bojan. Graduated civil structural engineer. I was born and I live in Ohrid, one of the most beautiful towns in the Balkans, placed by the Ohrid Lake. There are a lot of things that I can tell you about me, my family and about Ohrid. I like sport and also traveling and meeting new people and new cultures. My family will try to make your holiday in Ohrid as good as possible. We will make you feel comfortable like at home. For sure you will try some delicious fruits and vegetables from our small garden, also from my father's homemade Rakia and Wine. Come and visit us and I guarantee you won't regret it.
This area is by the lake and there is a very nice beach where you can get in 5 minutes on foot. Every summer, there is a big event called Ohrid Summer Festival: the performances are mostly held on the stage of the Antique Theatre, where you can get in 10 minutes on foot, using the paved path through the hill. You can get to the town centre in 10 minutes on foot, too, and there are good shops and restaurants there.
