Varosi Guesthouse

Top choice in Macedonia


This gorgeous pension occupies a restored traditional wood-and-stone house in Edessa's old quarter. Rooms have double-wood doors, fine linen, colourful embroidery and antique brass beds. In winter a fireplace heats the lounge room, while the flower-filled balcony is superb for a relaxing coffee in summer. Stylish, inviting and fantastic value.
