A lovely villa close to the main walking street with its beautiful shops, cafes and restaurants with Lake Ohrid’s pier at the end and within a few minutes walk to churches, market, banks and mosques, old town and fort. The el fresco breakfast was nice. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The villa has great views over the town and mountains.

Bed was comfortable, room a decent size. Good to have a balcony which was also quite large.
Location. Up a hill, not suitable for those with mobility issues. Also steps in property were tricky up to the room. Breakfast was disappointing, items left out under a staircase, very few tables in the garden. Unfortunately on arrival we were informed that we could only pay in cash! Nowhere on Booking.com was this mentioned so we were not prepared. Meant we had to withdraw cash from our credit card incurring quite a sizeable fee. Maybe we were a bit naive not having more cash in a country like North Macedonia, but we are well travelled and have never encountered this before. This put a dampener on what otherwise was a good stay in Ohrid which is a beautiful place. There are 2 Villa Bellas in the area and we were originally taken to the wrong one by a taxi driver. Fortunately the lady at that villa was wonderful - made us coffee whilst we waited for another taxi to take us back to the correct one. The lake is beautiful and the scenery spectacular.

There are two Villa Bellas in Ohrid, who knew? Well booking.com did because they’re both on their website and of course the taxi driver took us to the wrong one.
On arrival at the one at Nada Fileda we were immediately told that we could not pay by credit card, cash only, which was a great inconvenience and some additional cost. We of course complained but the manager couldn’t care less and blamed the banks and it being low season. In September? The restaurants and boats seemed very busy. Looking at the reviews, especially the ones entered after we had booked this is a very common occurrence, if not the norm. Booking.com website makes no mention of this cash only policy, it just states that no credit card needed, which is not that same as not accepted at all.
The room we had was large and comfortable with a view of the lake and an abandoned building site, (obviously not the hotel’s fault). There was a foul smell, but this was cleared by flushing a drain with the shower hose.
Breakfast was odd, it was a buffet served from under the stairs, which was cramped if more than two people were there. It comprised of a modest selection of cereals, cold meats, cheese and breads for toasting. Unlimited tea and coffee. Taking it out to the garden was a relaxing way to start the day.
The hotel is situated at the top of a steep but short hill, which we knew but should be kept in mind if doing many walks into the beautiful town centre or equally beautiful lakeside.

Great location and exceptional view. Clean room.
Host insisted card machine was ‘broken’ and asked for cash. Breakfast was poor.

Lovely view from the balcony.
We were forced to pay cash when booking.com advised that credit card was accepted. Breakfast area and choice was appalling and infested with pestering cats. No lift, surrounding area was scruffy.

It was very clean. The AC was available. The front door was open all day. The view to the lake and the city was wonderful form the balcony. The restroom was clean and well-equipped.
The hotel is on a very steep hill, and we had to walk a lot up there with our packages. The breakfast was very poor, the food selection was not up to our standards. For example there were'nt any fresh vegetables and fruits available, and the balcony where we had to eat was not guided from sunlight.
6.0 / 10.0
The best thing about this hotel is the view (if you book a room with a view of Lake Ohrid). Besides, the rooms are very big.
This hotel looks more like a bed & breakfast than a hotel. There is no reception desk and you have to prepare the breakfast yourself.
8.0 / 10.0
First off, the location and the view from the lakeside room were really amazing. The location also was easy to get to from the airport, which was only 15 minutes away. The owner/manager was very polite and accommodating, and we thought the price for the two rooms we had was really a bargain. The location was close to the shops in the city center and everything worth seeing in Ohrid was well within a 15 minute walk. The garden, where we had breakfast, was well-kept and was quiet and relaxing. Overall, the location was a great place for a family stay.
The parking area outside the hotel was pretty narrow and on the street, and I was a bit worried about dinging the rental car while parking. That said, the owner made sure that space always was available for us to park. The only other thing I can think of is that because we arrived off season, we had to pay the fee for the rooms in cash, which was a bit of a hassle to collect that much money from an ATM.

Perfect location high in the old town above all the tourist hastle. Large rooms with balcony. Reasonable breakfast.
Parking near the property is difficult. Only payment in cash possible.

It was mostly clean & rooms were a decent size.
The manager is horrible & has a serious lack of customer service skills. We took cold showers and he wound shut off the air conditioning units anytime we left the property- even if it was 10 minutes! Things were not as promised- no coffee maker or irons in the rooms. No toiletries as promised. Basically, you didn’t get anything that was promised on the booking.com website.

Very different from the description on booking.com - small rooms, one common terrace, they didn't clean the room or make the beds, only one coffee cup was removed

Clean room in a nice place. Close to the old town.
We booked 3 rooms with parking for our motorbikes. Instead we had to leave our bikes on the road outside that was very dangerous and unsafe.
The rooms were supposed to have a safe parking and breakfast. We were told that they dont serve breakfast because the season is finished.

The villa is located near the lake, in the city center. The amphitheater and the Orchid Fortress are within walking distance.
Location is perfect.
There are many shops, cafes, restaurants near the villa.
There is refrigerator in the room. The kettle and a coffee machine are in the lobby.
Comfortable bed, warm, clean.
Very friendly owner of the villa met me and showed me everything, it was very nice to have smalltalk with him.
He said that I was the first guest from Israel, the guests from Israel are very wellcome.
Very good value for money.
I highly recommend everyone to visit Ohrid and this villa is a very good place to stay.
Everyting was ok

Wonderful location near the center but on a quiet street. Beautiful view. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. when our GPS failed to find the hotel, he met us on his motor bike and guided us there. Breakfast in the garden was ample and varied.
Nothing. It was all great.

Kahvaltı yaptığınız masalarda kediler dolaşıyor, benim için sorun değildi ama arkadaşlarım için sorun oldu. Biraz daha dikkatli olumalı

Rien
En premier lieu, il est indiqué clairement sur Booking que cet établissement accepte le paiement par carte bancaire.
Or, au moment de régler, l'hôte a voulu du cash !
Par ailleurs, le petit déjeuner est en libre service et vraiment pas terrible. Et heureusement, il faisait beau car petit déjeuner sur terrasse.
Enfin, accessibilité compliquée à moto et pas de parking bien qu'il soit indiqué qu'il y en a un.
Bref, nous déconseillons d'autant qu'il y a pléthore d'hébergements dans cette ville.
