The vieuw was amazing, and the breakfast en staff where so great

There were some delays during dinner. Food was good, but some orders did not come as quickly as we hoped and sometimes we were left without attention. Some sunbeds were broken and we would have liked to order some cocktails (wine was available). We had room for 4 and it was bit small, but we managed :)

Location is lovely - small village in the mountains. Drive to hotel was doable by minivan. We were warmly welcomed. As cars need to be parked bit away from hotel you needed to carry your bags to hotel. Staff offered help with that, but we managed by ourselves. Pool was nice and view from there was really great. Food we had for dinner and breakfast was tasteful and fresh. Walk in village and option to visit local church was nice option to spend some time.

Absolutely exceptional! The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel instantly at home. The spotless, cozy rooms offered breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and the rooftop pool was a perfect bonus. Delicious homemade food made the stay even more special. Truly a gem — highly recommended!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Set aside within the hills, this property was an absolute treasure that we discovered. We used it as a halfway stop between Sarandë and Berat. The view from the room, pool and dining area were exceptional and the staff were incredibly friendly, looking to help in any way they could. We decided to have dinner at their restaurant which was very reasonably priced and incredibly tasty.

We booked the last room available, but unfortunately, it had no windows. To make things worse, a power outage in the middle of the night caused the room to be brightly lit, which was very disruptive. While the food itself was great, there was no menu or price list available for dinner. It would be very helpful to have the available dishes and their prices written down, even on a simple piece of paper. On a side note, the location is not at all in Gjirokastër. You have to drive for more than 30 minutes to get there.

This is a great bujtina, lost in the middle of nowhere. The staff is very friendly, the pool is nice, and it's not expensive at all. We had a wonderful time.

The property was set out in the mountains, making it so spacious and peaceful. We had two bookings in two different rooms and they were both so beautiful. It’s a 35 minute drive from a Gjirokaster and so worth it.

The only problem was that the rooms don't have blackout curtains (or even semi-blackout curtains). For a person who likes to sleep with zero light, I struggled to sleep at night and was waken up at 5 a.m when the day started, because it felt like I was sleeping outside (the room has 4 windows)

The location is exceptional. The rooms are so comfortable, large and cozy. The swimming pool, with its bar and terrasse, is clean and has a spectacular view on the mountains and the valley below. The staff are so nice and always available for help. The restaurant of the facility was the cherry on top of the cake : delicious food with a big variety of dishes, all for a very good price (6-8 € per person for starters + platter + drink). And finally the facility has a free parking spot !

A Hidden Gem with a Stunning Pool View! We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful guesthouse, which had just recently opened. Everything felt fresh and welcoming. The highlight was definitely the pool — the view from there was absolutely breathtaking! Our room was right next to the pool, which made the whole experience even more special. Both breakfast and dinner were fantastic — delicious food served in a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Bathroom flooded when showering. Breakfast was rather basic. An improvement in communication in English would increase the feeling of hospitality.

Really beautiful location. Very nice swimming pool. Cozy indoor and outdoor dining space. Spacious rooms. Dinner was really good.

The smell of garbage, rusty toilet accessories, broken toilet seat and a very impractical shower where water gets into the entire bathroom and room. Untidy terrace - leaves, bird droppings.

Quiet environment under the mountains, very comfortable bed, size of the room and terrace with a beautiful view. Friendly staff, very rich and tasty breakfast. Overall very beautiful accommodation.

We have met with the owners of the hotel which are extremely nice people, very hospitable and friendly. They made our stay a great experience. The food served was home made and we could taste the species of local cuisine. Rooms were clean and spacious and have a great view. Highly recommend to choose this hotel for your stay in Albania.

Menu choice for dinner was via a translated phone call, so it wasn't entirely clear what the choices were! Having said that, we enjoyed what was brought to us! In all honesty, the food was possibly a little over priced in comparison to meals throughout the rest of our stay in Albania, but not too much.

We loved the location in a small village. It had a really nice atmosphere. Friendly villagers who opened up the local church for us without being asked. Nice room with a balcony. Staff didn't speak English but a phone call to someone who did made life easier! Food was local and nice, fresh fruit from the tree for breakfast etc! Dinner finished with a sliced apple dish with cinnamon and honey - so simple and lovely that we're going to recreate it now we're back home.

AMAZING place in a very small old town village. You will feel like you are in a castle. The breakfest was delicious. 40 min by car to Gjirokaster.

The dinner and coffebreak were Perfect, with fresh and local food! The road to the hotel, when your are driving up the mountains, is a breathtaking tour itself! Highly recommended !!

The road is pretty narrow to reach the location + you need to carry your luggage a pretty long way to the hotel. The staff is eager to help you with it, though!

The accomodation is very cute and romantic. The road to get there is absolutely amazing and the staff is eager to help you with any questions you might have.

Everything about this place is perfect. We had an amazing and peaceful family time. The staff is the sweetest and they are always looking to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast makes you feel like home, everything is organic and homemade, very lovely. The restaurant is really good, the quality of the ingredients is super, and they even serve their own wine. The best is the quiet atmosphere, to being apart from the crowds make you experience for real the mountain vibe and relaxes you immediately. They are building a pool at the moment so we will definitely return to this magical place when it’s ready! Thank you for the beautiful memories!
