This guesthouse is run by a lovely family who are friendly and helpful. Rooms are great, pool is amazing, the food is local / selfmade and prepared freshly in the kitchen. We also did their cooking class, which we highly reccomend to anyone. If you have any doubts, do not hesitate and book straight away!

Our absolute favourite place that we stayed in Albania. What a gorgeous guesthouse. Beautiful views, a lovely pool, rooms arranged around the pool, gorgeous dogs and cats, plenty of areas to relax looking at the mountains, a little 'beach' with steps to walk down to the river (more of a stream in the summer, but beautiful anyway), and the best food in Albania. I'm not kidding. You have to eat dinner here. Family run, with dad as the chef, the wines, the steak, the vongole ... just sensational. And an incredible breakfast to match. We loved chatting to the son, who has fantastic English, and we were made to feel welcome and at ease from the moment we arrived. If only we had more time here! If this place is available, book it immediately - you won't regret it! Albanian hospitality at its finest! Loved everything about this beautiful place.

What an amazing place! It’s a little piece of paradise. It’s so peaceful, and we loved the river ‘beach’. The family are all so helpful and the breakfast is delicious. We were booked for 3 nights but I increased to 4 at the last minute and so glad we did. It was 39 degrees whilst we were there so a bit of a hike into town but we found an amazing bar with a view of the valley and a super restaurant just a very short walk away. We ate figs from the trees, saw a barn owl and a wild tortoise and generally had the best time!

An idillic hideaway with views overlooking a crystal blue river. The accommodation was spacious and clean with easy access to the swimming pool and outstanding lounge area. The hosts were very welcoming and we enjoyed an evening of cookery with them, where we laughed, ate doughnuts and drank wine.

The family really does everything for their guests to make them feel at home and comfortable. The restaurant serves great food with attention to fresh, homegrown ingredients. This makes both breakfast and dinner a joy. Stunning views all around from the nice pool area. Comfortable rooms. Agriturism as it should be.

We loved our stay here. The rooms are clean and cozy and all located around the pool. It feels a bit like staying at a farm yard since there are cats and dogs and you can hear sheep -a place to calm down and enjoy nature. We would recommend booking here!

We both gained few kilos, because food was so delicious and huge portions ☺️

We have been there for five nights. Room is nice, clean, good wifi, hot shower all this stuff is there, free parking, good bed, no worries Surroundings is absolutely stunning, huge garden, swimming pool, river , Mountain View’s. Many many places to visit aroud (waterfalls, churches, thermal springs, canyon and more) Staff (aka owners / whole family) are very friendly and nice, we felt like VIP 😎 But they are also top professionals. The older son who was our “waiter”, fluent English , gave us many informations about the food and many Pragues restaurants could learn serving from him. They know what they are providing and why, loved that. Chef (aka father I guess) OMG, he is the kitchen god ☺️ pork steaks so juicy, breakfast eggs fluffy and creamy, unbelievable. Breakfast are huge, I mean really huge. Fruit , sweet, eggs, fresh juice. Someone saying prices are higher and it might be true, I don’t have comparisons, BUT. What you are getting for your money there is pure gold, bio organic food, direct chain, family business and our steaks were also huge. Try Bruschetta with tomatoes, better than in Italy fancy restaurants I do recommend to try their own products, honey / jams and many more. We loved Ice tea , the bitter/ sweet one. So thank you, it was fantastic

The guesthouse was set a little out of town but still walkable. Beautiful peaceful setting beside a river with a river beach. In addition, a swimming pool and sunbathing terrace. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a delicious meal in the restaurant that night. Easy and plentiful parking. Easy to find. There were many outdoor pursuits available in the area and we regret not spending longer there to enjoy them.

The only thing I didn’t like was that it was an accidental discovery and we had to drive back to Tirana the next day so we didn’t get enough time there.

Stunning location, lovely warm and generous hosts, clean and comfortable, the pool was an amazing bonus and to swim looking at those incredible mountains was amazing. And the breakfast! Delicious.

We loved Guesthouse Lord Byron - a really friendly and relaxing place. We loved the riverside beach, the pool, the great food (it was the best breakfast of our holiday) and really friendly staff!

Nothing negative to say - this is a gem

Beautiful property set among orchards and cypress trees. Very strong customer service shown at check in, during meal service and all around the well-run family business. Absolute must-stay if you are in the area. Food was excellent every day, dining al fresco under the stars!

Second year in a row at Lord Byron, this time with our daughter and her boyfriend. Another wonderful stay, living as part of the family hospitality even more than staying at a hotel. Excellent cooking for all meals, quiet lodging in comfortable rooms, the pool and the river for swimming, and within reach of many interesting attractions.

Super nice hosts who fulfill your every wish. Amazing breakfast - very delicious. Nice room, great guesthouse with great garden (and a great pool ;-)). Great experience - unfortunately we only booked one night. Thank you for a great time and for make it possible for me to watch the European Championships (Austria - France) :-)! It was an honour!

We had a lovely stay at Guesthouse Lord Byron! The hosts are very helpful and friendly. The views from the guest house are fantastic and the rooms are very spacious, modern and clean. They also serve great local food & wine. The guest house is based on a big property that is very quiet.
