North Macedonia
This beautiful, old stone house has creaking wooden floors, a secluded patio fortified by high stone walls and old country paraphernalia that continues into the four bedrooms. There are a few too many cobwebs kicking about and the shared bathrooms are a little old-fashioned, but this place is a lovely tranquil spot in Dihovo village. Guests share a communal kitchen.
Call to book, or contact Villa Dihovo – if Villa Dihovo is full, the owner Petar usually books guests in here.
