Top choice in Macedonia
'Red House' is an absolute gem – a restored 1840 mansion with six uniquely decorated bedrooms in its main room and three more in the adjacent building. Wrought-iron bed frames, wood-beamed ceilings, fantastic details and mesmerising river views. It's nestled in the heart of Veria's old Jewish quarter, and is as comfortable as it is elegant.
Breakfasts are lavish arrangements with pastries, fruit, preserves and eggs.
