A calm, tastefully decorated bedroom at Apartments Joana
Our story

Hospitality, the Ohrid way

A small family guest house built on three simple things: spotless rooms, real quiet, and a genuinely warm welcome.

Apartments Joana started with a simple idea: give travellers the comfort and consistency of a good hotel, with the warmth and value of staying with friends. Eight identical apartments, one quiet building, and a host who genuinely cares that your stay is perfect.

We’re just a few minutes’ walk from the shore of Lake Ohrid and the pedestrian old town — close enough to everything, far enough to sleep soundly. Guests come for the location and come back for the welcome.

Rated 9.7/10 by 139 guests on Booking.com, we’re proud that “immaculately clean”, “wonderful host” and “I’ll be back every year” are the phrases that come up again and again.
