    Beautiful traditional Albanian rooms with renovated bathrooms, right in the heart of Berat. Easy walk to restaurants. Parking available. Big breakfast. We loved it!

    I cannot say enough good things about this place. Location couldn't be better, typical Berat house but not too far from the main road, so you don't need to "climb" with your bags. Perfect to walk around Berat and Goriza. The room was amazing, looked carved in stone, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was incredible, it was so much we couldn't eat all of it. But the best was the people, everyone made us feel very welcome. The owner answered all my questions before we arrived. And while we were there they helped us get to our new destination even after we checked out. We lost our bus and they made calls to find out how we could get to our destiny for our budget. True Albanian kindness that we will never forget.

    That we had to leave so soon. We should have booked two night

    The breakfast was plentiful and excellent. The service fantastic! The location was perfect, but for the loud music next door.

    On Saturday evening, there was very loud live music playing next door. I couldn’t sleep until after the band finished playing at midnight.

    Property response:

    "Thank you for your lovely words about our breakfast, service, and location. We’re sorry for the loud music on Saturday night — it was from a nearby venue in Mangalem, not from our guest house. We hope it won’t affect your nice memories of staying with us."

    What a special place! We loved our stay in Berat and were so glad we got to stay at this location. The hostess was so warm and friendly--and her breakfasts were wonderful! The location was great... It's a small town, but even so, this place was right in the heart of everything. The views walking down the outside stairs were so beautiful. The wifi was good and the rooms (we had three) were all perfect! We would love to stay here again!

    The couple that run this place, Jozef and Rosena (apologies if that's not exact) went above and beyond. They were attentive. They were friendly. They were extremely helpful. They were genuine. The place was spotless and had a very warm feeling to it. The location is ideal.

    Lovely host! We liked everything. The room was impressive, very authentic, the bathroom had a rocky wall (wauwww). The breakfast was also above expectations. Make sure to ask before your stay where to park. Don't arrange it last minute.

    A charming and authentic stay in the heart of Berat!!! This beautiful traditional house is perfectly located in the center of Berat, allowing you to truly feel the city’s unique atmosphere. The rooms are tastefully decorated, comfortable, and equipped with air conditioning and a fridge. The host is exceptionally kind and goes out of their way to ensure a pleasant and memorable stay. A freshly prepared breakfast is included and adds a lovely touch to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and authentic stay in Berat!

    We had a perfect stay here… the location was central to everything we wanted to see. The owner was such a lovely host. Made us feel very welcome and provided us with a beautiful breakfast every morning . Her husband kindly drive us to the bus station the day we left which we very much appreciated.

    Everything was great

    A perfect place to stay - lovely renovated ottoman guest house - just one level the Main Street on the river. Delightful owners who were amazingly hospitable, even took us the bus station at no cost - crisp linen, thick towels, aircon, delicious breakfast served on the patio. Big bonus there was a small bar with an honesty system and you could settle your entire bill with a card. Thoroughly recommend.

    It's location is convenient - in the heart of Berat and just off Rruga Antipatrea, very close to the new bridge. It's not far up the hill. Don't let Google Maps mislead you in going a long way across a lot of steps. Joseph was a wonderful host. He met all of our needs and cooked us a delicious breakfast each morning.

    I can't think of anything.

    Fantastic place in the old town - a few steps up from the main road with a quiet terrace to have breakfast, drinks and see the view. The staff are exceptionally helpful and organised a cab for onward travel too. Would definitely love to go back and would recommend!

    Nothing to dislike!

    We enjoyed an excellent full breakfast, included with the room. My brother and sister-in-law visited from the USA. A one-night trip to Berat was a must! We had a wonderful time, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. The facility is spotless, the rooms are lovely and well-appointed. Guest House J. Prifti is a historic building carefully converted into a small guest house. Renovation is preservation when done correctly and great care has been taken to preserve this beautiful structure which was once a family home. The location is fantastic, steps away from many restaurants, shops, and historic attractions. It is perfect for solo travelers. Be sure to visit the Fani Winery tasting room only a few steps away! The winery is also part of this family business. The wine is SUPERB!

    There is nothing I did not like, everything was fantastic.

    This was the most beautiful guesthouse and the host, Josef was very friendly and helpful. It was in a great area to explore the town, but with only a dozen or so steps up to the guesthouse from the main road, making it very easy with luggage. Bed was super comfy, bathroom & shower were fabulous and the breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this wonderful guesthouse.

    Nothing.

    Amazing location, in the old town but just back from the main road on the river. Gorgeous views from the windows in the room. Lovely hosts who were so helpful with everything we needed, from free car parking to nourishing breakfasts to borrowing scissors!

    Lovely guesthouse, conveniently located in the old town. Spacious and clean room with much needed air conditioning. Great breakfast and really friendly and helpful host. Lovely terrace to enjoy a drink in the evening.

    If you arrive by car just be aware it's difficult to park close to the guesthouse/in the area. There is parking you can pay for (5 euro's a day) just further along the main road if you follow the river.
