Villa Amsterdam

We had a very good 3 nights stay at this B&B. It was a little bit confusing to find the pension because our navigation system didn't recognize the number of the street but you actually don't need the street number, it's ok just to drive on Goce Delcev and you'll see Villa Amsterdam. The room was fine, not very new but clean and with good view to the pool and garden. Also a baby-cot was prepared, as we requested. The balcony was very pleasant to relax in. Unfortunately there is only a plastic table with two wonky plastic chairs in the balcony, but it was ok because I took the chair from the room and used it for sitting and reading in the evenings. Really quite, calm and nice atmosphere. Breakfast very good with lots of cold cuts, jams, omlete, juce, coffee, etc. The very highlite of the B&B is the pool and the garden. Very well mentained by the owners, with lawn and lots of fruits (sour cherries, raspberries, red currant, etc). So our toddler got his everyday fruits meal for free. The access to/from city center/old city can be easily done with taxi. It costs 100MKD (aprox 1,5 EUR), do not be deceived if any taxi driver will ask you a higher amount, don't offer more than 100MKD, this is the right price. The city is kinda exotic and gives you the feeling that you just got to the sea. The lake is huge and offers you many options for entertainment and having fun: boat trips on the lake, swimming, sunbath, paragliding, beaches, etc. Also the old city with its fortress and old churches is a must see. Prices are very low comparing to west Europe countries. A regular lunch for two in a restaurant don't exceed 15-20 EUR, including 2-3 beers. If you want maybe a wine or some specialties, then the price can be higher. We highly recommend Villa Amsterdam and the city of Ohrid.
