“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I arrived after a gruelling journey (3h bus, 1h flight, 3h taxi) from Malinska/CRO via Zagreb and Skopje. Our first impression was ‘Wow!’. That positive impression stayed with us over five nights, reinforced by the quality of the accommodation, the beauty of the pool/garden and the friendliness of the staff and the proprietors.

Lots of discussion here about the distance from town, we found it was a pleasant 45-minute stroll to the harbour along the lakeside road (not the main road!) and the promenade. And we found a friendly and reliable taximan whom we would call to book trips back and forth at the standard fare of €2.50.

Negatives? The room, whilst enormous, was short of storage space and it’s a shame when it is so immaculate if you can’t stow everything away neatly out of sight. And we had variable luck with the restaurant – one excellent meal, one disappointment and one disaster.

We fully intend to revisit Ohrid and the Aleksandar Villa.

“Lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and i stayed here for four nights in August 2011. We paid 110 Euros a night including breakfast.
This is a special place and we loved everything about it. The location is great and we enjoyed our daily walk into town (about 1 km). The grounds/ pool area is very nice and stylish. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are large and well appointed with comfortable beds and a jacuzzi bath which is a nice touch. Breakfast was very good. we did not eat in the restaurant in the evening so cannot comment.
Lake Ohrisd itself is very specioal. we will be back.
Highly recommended.

“a great disappointment”

Greatly overpriced, inattentive staff in dull location. Fortunately, we were able to get another hotel in town after a couple of days in this boring resort (in the middle of nowhere).

We regret to hear that this guest left our hotel unsatisfied since our priority is achieving total customer satisfaction for each and every guest. Our hotel is in fact a small boutique-style resort with a pool, sunbathing chairs and 4,500m2 of gardens and grass which is all within a gated private property. We have a countless number of satisfied guests mainly couples and families and business travelers who stay at the Aleksandar Villa for that exact intimacy, swimming, sun tanning and overall relaxed atmosphere. The location of Aleksandar Villa is no secret- we are on the main road toward all the beaches and exactly 1 km when exiting the city. We have published our location on our website, google maps and various other internet booking sites.

To all Trip Advisor readers, former and future guests of Aleksandar Villa and all visitors of beautiful Ohrid,

Yours Truly,
Stojan Dimoski

“A wonderful place with wonderful people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We booked the whole of Aleksandar Villa for family and friends as my wife and I recently got married in Ohrid. We had the most wonderful stay. The rooms are comfortable, the food is excellent, but more than anything the relaxed, peaceful, friendly vibe of the of Villa means you have your own little haven in Ohrid. Vesna and the rest of her family made us feel right at home. Nothing was too big a problem, there was always a friendly smile - everything was informal and relaxed (no mean feat given that we were there with in-laws and all in the days building up to our wedding!) I couldn't recommend the Aleksandar Villa any higher, I think it's a special place and I hope we get back there many times in the future. Brendan.

“Beautiful small hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

people found this review helpful

My wife and I are U.S. citizens presently living and working in Kosovo. We recently spent a week traveling by car around nearby Macedonia, and spent three nights at the Aleksandar Villa in Ohrid. This is a beatiful, small, family-run hotel right on the main road leading out of town, a couple of kilometers from the center. We had a car, so diriving five minutes into town was not an issue. Otherwise, a taxi would be necessary although I believe there is a bus stop right outside the hotel gates The hotel is immaculately maintained with beautiful grounds and flowers, and a sparkling, refreshing pool. Our room was open, spacious, colorful and spotless, with a view from the balcony over the pool. Our room had free wi-fi, a flat screen TV and a jacuzzi. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and family members were usually around to socialize with the guests and make sure everythingwas running smoothly They are English speaking, having lived in New Jersey. The buffet breakfasts were excellent, with good coffee, and guests could order egg dishes. The weather was nice, and we were able to eat ourtside on the patio. They also serve lunch and dinner, which must be ordered in advance. Overall, a great experience, and we would stay there again.
