Bella Casa: A Must-Visit Destination in Macedonia

Bella Casa: A Must-Visit Destination in Macedonia

If there is one destination the Kajak.mk team recommends visiting in April and May, it’s the village of Crvena Voda, located about an hour's drive from Ohrid at an altitude of 1250 meters.

The reason you should visit this village is Bella Casa, a destination (or ethno village) that will fill your day with numerous outdoor activities and offer you the chance to taste delicious homemade and traditional food.


The Kajak.mk team spoke with Vasko, who, together with Kate, is building a unique world aimed at showcasing the true beauty of Macedonia, our music, food, and untouched nature.

Today, Bella Casa offers several accommodation units, with a capacity of 3 studios. Two studios feature a double bed and a single bed, while the third studio has 4 single beds. According to our calculations, at Bella Casa, you can stay with a group of 10 people or with your entire family.


Parents, don’t hesitate to take your children for a walk in nature. It has a positive effect in helping them disconnect from social media! At Bella Casa, in addition to the excellent opportunity for nature walks and hiking trails, you can also visit the farm with well-raised horses, chickens, goats, and kids, all within the tourist complex itself.


For those in search of gastronomic experiences, Vasko says that here you can find many delicious traditional specialties prepared by an experienced chef. The homemade food, which is increasingly missing from many tables, is available here. Starting with local ѓомлезе (a traditional dish), pituļici (a type of pastry), as well as main dishes featuring specialties like lamb, goat, venison, and wild boar, all complemented by homemade rakija or homemade wine.

The destination is ideal year-round. During the winter, it often has a snow-covered landscape, while in the summer, guests enjoy fresh and cool temperatures. When the valleys experience scorching heat, here you can enjoy temperatures at least 10 degrees lower.


Bella Casa is now part of our gastronomic database, where you can reserve a stay at the restaurant. Additionally, Bella Casa is also included in our private accommodations database, where you can book an overnight stay in Crvena Voda.
