Villa Jovan

Top choice in Ohrid


By far the most charming place to stay in Ohrid, this 1856 mansion offers nine rooms in the heart of the Old Town. There are old-world furnishings, creaky floors and wooden beams, and a cosy atmosphere. The two top-floor rooms have quirky sunken baths sitting behind a glass wall, looking out onto the tiny sun-trap terraces.

There are no communal areas at all in this hotel, but on the plus side this means breakfast is served down by the harbour at the owners' lakeside restaurant – Restoran Čun. Ask for discounts October to May.
