Great experience! The house itself is a cultural monument, full of charm and history. From here you get a beautiful view of both the castle and the bridge, which makes the stay even more special. The traditional food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic atmosphere with amazing views!

Nothing to dislike :)

Such a beautiful traditional place, and the most friendly and welcoming family! Very nice room, clean and comfortable beds. Also the best breakfast we had in Albania, in the most beautiful garden of Berat!

We had great weather but it might be cold in the winter. And the shower is outside the room, if you are fussy. It was ok for us.

This guesthouse has a wonderful view and is located right in the centre of the old part. It has a great garden where you can take your breakfast and have dinner, with a good vibe. The rooms are big and the owner is an interesting character.

The owner is really nice, and the location of the guesthouse is great. The breakfast was amazing as well.

The steps. I had a terribly heavy bag with me to carry lots of steps up and down (but I guess that’s only my fault)

The family owned business. The lively backyard. The live that the family put into the food they offer and the service to people

Our room didn’t have air con so got very hot in the summer.

Lorenc and Kate. The room was lovely and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Kate cooked delicious traditional Albanian cuisine, the home-made wine was to die for if you like wine. The garden was atmospheric and we loved sitting here in the evenings and enjoying the local wildlife.

Nothing to dislike. Things to note you can’t park at the property but there is a car park with lots of spaces about 50 metres opposite and you’ll need to carry your luggage up stairs to the guesthouse- we had a big suitcase but wasn’t an issue for us

We loved our stay at Lorencs guesthouse. Lorenc himself is so warm and lovely to chat too and his guesthouse is actually is families home. I was saddened by some of the other reviews as when booking you need to remember he doesn’t advertise it as a 5 star hotel it’s more of a homestay. If you want an authentic stay I’d recommend. Our stay was great, really good value in an incredible part of town and the food he cooks is really lovely too.

Everything is fine.

A guesthouse located in a traditional Albanian house in the center of town. The owner was very friendly and I had a great time. The breakfast omelets and pancakes, coffee were very delicious. In addition, at the attached restaurant, you can enjoy wine and Rakia made by the owner at reasonable prices. If you like alcohol, please try it.

I had a really wonderful time at lorencs guest house, it was a beautiful and clean accommodation with a wonderful atmosphere! Lorenc was very accommodating and clearly cared very much about the comfort of his guests. He had a lot of knowledge about berat and I enjoyed hearing his stories. It’s clear that this guest house had been built on a foundation of kindness and care, I couldn’t recommend it more! It’s right at the centre and you have great access to the old town and hiking trail.

Very authentic feeling, nice and various breakfasts, playful cats around, helpful hosts, much to see. My kids loved it so much. These old houses naturally lack some of the comfort and fanciness of modern apartments, but this is just what makes them special. Beautiful old stuctures, good quality of that type. Clean.

Great talktive owner with a wonderful garden to relax and drinking his own wine and food for dinner.

Bathroom is a bit odd in that the window overlooks a neighbouring restaurant right next door. It's not exactly a problem but you have to think about whether you really want the window open, at certain times.

Lorenc is a true gentleman, he and family were very accommodating. Very interesting house, good location.

There was no cooling in our room, so it was quite hot. Would be great if they provided a fan if air conditioning is not possible. The shared bathroom was a bit unclean (not from staff neglect, but misuse by other guests). Bring slides to wear in the shower! Cobblestone streets and lots of stairs to the guesthouse, so we recommend bringing a backpack, not suitcase.

Best location and great views! Just a 10 minute (€5) taxi ride from Berat bus station. Beautiful historic building. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Beautiful garden out the back with the most adorable kittens! Free walking tour leaves from the end of the street which was great.

Our stay was perfect

The garden, the large clean rooms and facilities. Host Kate and Lorenc were amazing kind people who welcomed us into their home. We arrived late and Kate kindly prepared us a beautiful home cooked meal. If you’re lucky you can try Lorenc homemade merlot!
