Reviews of Traditional GuestHouse Permet

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

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!

the hospitality and the self cookes food amazing! very kind and warmhearted persons

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.

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

Great views, food, and hospitality

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 a unique traditional house with an epic view. Very nice and welcoming people!

Not the fault of the owners, but the road up to the hill was bad.

Great place with unique view, great host. Thank you for wonderful dinner for our anniversary. Hope to visit you again soon.

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.

It was perfect!

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic location wonderful.hosts and amazing food...it was such a great experience for us and the kids...the hosts were so nice and welcoming and the home cooking was outstanding...although the road to get there can be challenging we managed but they will.come.pick you up if your car cannot go up anymore

Nothing not to like....amazing from start to finish

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.

We had a bit of an issue to reach the house with our car. Luckily the hosts helped us here.

Absolutely amazing place with a very nice staff, perfect dinner as well as the breakfast.

Very traditional property with beautiful decorations and a stunning outdoor area.

The road to the property is very difficult unless you have an SUV or off roading vehicle, I do not recommend driving up yourself. They are able to pick you up if you arrange it in advance.

Very authentic and beautifull house. The hosts are adorabele. Warm welcome and nice rooms. Everything you want and need. The road towards the house is not easy for a low car.

Nothing

Amazing place to stay with a wonderful family. The location is stunning. Fascinating for traditional architecture and history lovers with a stunning view

Access only suitable for cars with good ground clearance although transport can be provided from Përmet

Location, people, food, accomodation... Everything was perfect. Do not hesitate to ask them to collect you at Permët because the road is very tricky!!

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!

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