    The room was very hot at night and a fan would have helped to keep the air moving.

    Lovely guesthouse outside of Permet. As others have mentioned the road up is a little rustic but the owners are extremely helpful and would have collected us if needed (fortunately we had a jeep, so managed fine). The weather when we visited was extremely hot and without a fan the room was very warm at night. However, the owners were very welcoming, the evening meal was superb, the views were amazing and we had a lovely stay.

    The best accommodation we had during our 10 days in Albania! The owners were extremely hospitable, and the food was not only delicious but also fairly priced. What impressed us most, however, was the place itself. Sitting on the terrace in one of the comfortable chairs, enjoying the breathtaking view and the peaceful atmosphere, was simply unforgettable! We managed to drive up with a Hyundai i20. The road requires careful driving, but it’s absolutely doable—and definitely worth it! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

    Exceptional stay – felt like home! Our stay at Permet Guest House was unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming — they truly made us feel like part of their family. The food was outstanding, made with fresh vegetables from their garden and full of love and flavor. The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the Vjosa River and surrounding mountains. We woke up to the peaceful sound of birds and felt like we had stepped back in time, staying in a traditional house that’s a protected cultural monument. Everything about our stay was perfect. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

    Just information: bathrooms are outside (makes sense, as it is a traditional old house) and the road there is not paved.

    The place is beautiful, authentic, the people working there are great. It’s a family home open for visitors. The landscape and the way there are beautiful!! Food has to be paid extra but is delicious.

    An absolute highlight in accommodation in Albania. The road up there is really a challenge, our borrowed little Fiat had a bit of a problem and needed a bit of help from us. Anyway, the view was definitely worth it, and what about the dinner?! The lady of the house cooked us a huge and delicious dinner and breakfast. All the owners were very nice. The building itself is over 100 years old and is truly unique and beautiful. We regret that we only stopped for one night, we will definitely make it longer next time.

    It was perfect!

    The meals were plentiful and exceptional....served with love from Florinda. All ingredients grown right there on the property. The village was magical. View of the mountains and farms below absolutely beautiful. Lovely places to sit and relax and read/sketch and to enjoy the beautiful meals. It's difficult to describe the uniqueness of this place, all I can say is that I've never been anywhere like it.

    Road to house is difficult forrest road, its impossible to reach by average car, you need jeep or big SUV. But owners are ready to take you uphill last 2 km. So for sure park your car down in the valley and ask for a ride.

    Absolutely amazing local experience, old house - cultural monument. Owners are like your own family, food is delicious from local garden and surrounding, view is stunning. If you like adventure trips and you want to try albanian cottage, this is right place.

    Location was magical! Couple who owns/runs it are wonderful. Florida's 8 course dinners were amazing! As was her breakfast. All food made from what was grown on their land. You can't find a more beautiful view. Sitting on the porch in the warm breeze overlooking the mountains, river and farms were spectacular. Florida is such a warm and lovely woman. Highlight of our trip.

    Charming guesthouse in the middle of nature. We had a very good time staying at the traditional guest house. The hosts where super friendly, helpful and warm, the food was original and we had the feeling we are getting a glimpse into the Albanian life. It is a nice place for peaceful evenings.

    The only challenge is the road to the apartment; it is a bit off-road but offers beautiful views.

    This is an ideal place for someone who appreciates authenticity and traditions. The room is kept in a traditional style, clean, with access to a bathroom. The view from the house is unforgettable. Meals prepared by the host were superb—everything was natural and from their own farm. They served some of the best jams I have ever eaten! The place has a rich history, and the hospitality is wonderful. The host even helped us find a place to go rafting!

    A truly magical place with the kindest hosts.

    It was impossible to "dislike" anything. THe place is magical! They are constantly working on it to keep it beautiful (so if you find some tools, you know why) and, yes, the fact that is isolated means you have a difficult drive but it comes with the perks that it's not a mass destination and you find peace. So ... the ideal place for me!

    Go. Go. Go. If you want to experience the truly Albanian hospitality, a wonderful family and the best food you'll try in the country, don't miss out! Florida is just the sweetest and kindest person you can ever encounter. She welcomed us with open arms (and a tea with glicko!). Her husband (Kristop? Apologies, my memory for names is sometimes weak) is also a lovely man. We were treated like royalty and we also felt like one in our fabulous room. We took the biggest room (the one on the lower floor) because it has a private bathroom (it's outside, but just a step away) and it's sooooooo beautiful. We saw the other ones and they are all equally fabulous and neat, clean, cozy... It's like going back in time and becoming a princess! The food... what to say about the food!!!?? It is just picked up from the garden. Could not be any fresher and tastier. We are veggies so it was a bliss to have such fresh produce, lovely cooked and with so much flavour!! We had dinner (the charge was 7 euro per person) and breakfast was already included. Both were exceptional and made with pure love. I wish we had had more time to spend. I could be there for a long time being pampered and spoilt!!! Thanks Florida, for being such an amazing human being!

    Nothing, it's perfect

    The location is incredible and the view in particular from the front of the house doesn't get old, this is where you relax and eat so spend a lot of time looking out. The food Florida cooks is also out of this world, the whole family look after you with attention but let you relax also. And the pets roaming around adds to everything!
