Take a Glance at Life at Pirustia Nedanoski

The Air, the Silence, the Feeling

The first thing you’ll notice isn’t a thing at all – it’s the air. From the stone-and-wood chardak overlooking Lake Ohrid, you’ll hear birdsong, the whisper of trees, and the soft hum of village life.
You’re welcomed like family – with homemade jam, strong Turkish coffee, and the warmth of genuine hospitality.

Life on the Farm

Step into the courtyard, and you become part of something living.
Chickens, rabbits, goats, piglets – this is not a show, it’s real rural life.

Wandering Through Nature

Take a leisurely walk through Ramne village, past the little church and vineyards tucked into the hillside. Pick wild berries, gather herbs for tea, or drink from the ice-cold mountain spring. Follow forest paths – with no rush, no schedule – just the joy of discovering something simple and pure.

And Then, There’s the Food & Kneading the Dough

Prepared with love and patience by Natasha, the host, using the traditional pirustia and sach cooking methods – ancient techniques that bring out deep, unforgettable flavors. From komat, presnec, and pitulici, to stuffed peppers, moussaka, and gjomleze – every bite tells a story. Most ingredients come directly from the family’s organic garden and neighboring farms. Guests are invited to take part in the “Learning to Knead” workshop, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional doughs and dishes – discovering not just skills, but meaning.

Fire, Stars, and Stories

As the sun dips behind the mountains, a fire is lit. The courtyard glows with warmth, the glasses are filled with homemade wine, and stories begin to flow. No performance – just real moments, laughter, and connection. This is what travel is meant to feel like.
