Popova Kula Hotel

The food was delicious, and the place was neat and full of charm. We visited this restaurant while travelling through Macedonia and were really impressed. Our waitress was kind and friendly, with a warm smile, and she spoke German, which surprised and delighted us. It was lovely to speak our language so far from home, and her genuine warmth made us feel welcome. Thanks to the owner and the whole team. This is a place we’ll remember with a smile, and we’d gladly come back. Thank you for everything.

In a beautiful, scenic setting, this winery has incredible wine and charming staff. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The setting was breathtaking, and the ambience was just right for our wine tasting and dinner. While we relaxed and enjoyed the meal, the kids played in the field and playground. Our waiter, Marjan, was attentive and so helpful. He clearly knew a lot about the wine and cared about it. Everything we ate was delicious, from the trout and chicken dish to the lovely antipasto plate with meat and cheese. The kids had spaghetti. We bought three bottles to take home, and I can’t wait to come back for another tasting. It’s a beautiful, truly magical place. Next time we’ll stay and try the hotel rooms and more wine.

The wine was delicious, the food was fantastic as other reviews have said, and the winery sits on a beautiful, extremely scenic hilltop. The front-of-house and reception staff were helpful and pleasant, with Mimi especially helpful. The restaurant service at lunch and breakfast was the part that left us unsure about the visit. Those staff were rude and abrupt, as if taking our menu orders was a real pain. We didn’t ask for anything special or request changes. We just had a few basic questions about the extensive menu before ordering, but that seemed to be treated as us being difficult. It felt completely unwelcoming, which is a shame because everything else about the winery is first class. My wife and I visited during our travels through Macedonia. I don’t like leaving fewer than five stars, especially when reviews are a kind of currency these days, but this was the worst service we’ve had in a very long time.
