Everything looked spotless with lots of character throughout the whole accommodation. The host and his wife were incredibly nice! We really enjoyed staying here and would recommend.

Unfortunately there is not great public transport nearby but that is of no fault of Aleksander and the Vila.

Our stay at Vila Aleksander was exceptional. Our room was beautiful with lots of charm and good AC. The terrace view was unreal and it was so lovely to enjoy for breakfast and in the evenings after our day. Aleksander also went above and beyond, giving us recommendations and helping us connect with tours and a driver. We also got to fall in love with their sweet castle doggo Kiko, who was such a sweetheart.

It was not a problem for us - but access is via a number of cobbled steps so won’t suit everyone.

Fabulous location and warm welcoming owner.

Nothing. It was exceptional.

We highly recommend this accomodation. I don’t think you could do any better than this in Berat. The family that own this place are so welcoming, generous, helpful with planning your activities and go above and beyond. There are 2 beautiful terraces we lounged on to admire the stunning view over Berat. It’s easy to walk to all restaurants, cafes, supermarkets & even the castle. The breakfasts were on the rooftop terrace with beautiful music & food straight from their garden. They also had a cute dog Kiko that loves the guests and greets them. The attention to detail was shown with clean rooms and room cleaned. Communication was exceptional. The villa itself is incredibly beautiful and well kept for. Highly recommend listening to Aleksander himself talk about the history of the villa and restoration renovation.

Suitcases up the stairs. Hard for people with mobility issues. Would benefit from something to pull suitcases up. Air con didn’t work well in room , was a fan only. Would stay again as owners are lovely.

Lovely property , ran by amazing owners Close walk to town centre Lovely local breakfast

We were warmly welcomed by Alexander, who takes pride in his family hotel. It is a really beautiful small hotel with views out over the city towards the mountains. Very clean and authentic to the traditional decor. The open veranda was exceptional. We dined in one evening - home cooked delicious food. We weren’t offered a choice of menu, but that added to the experience. Limited wine choice to a small selection of quality wines.

Highly reccomend staying at Hotel Vila Aleksander. It’s a lovely family-run place - rustic, cosy and traditional. The owners are friendly and care about making sure you have a great time. The hotel's view of Berat and surrounding countryside is incredible. Breakfast was a highlight - everything was fresh and homemade, made from homegrown produce.

The most welcoming and friendly owners, beautiful views from the terrace for a beer and taking in the beauty of Berat. Close to the castle, old town, nice restaurants etc. We tried to extend our stay we loved it so much, but they were fully booked.

The owner/manager was very keen to do the best for his guests, but didn't quite get things spot on.

The hotel was gorgeous. The rooms were lovely, particularly the deluxe double (which slept three) - lots of historic character. The terrace at the top of the hotel had an amazing view, and the flowers on the way up were stunning. The location was great.

Amazing hospitality from our wonderful host Alexander. Truly a unique and personal experience. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace with the best view in the city, with eggs and fruits from the house garden. Calm and private, serene and beautiful. We never wanted to leave the hotel.

As a warning, to reach the hotel you have to walk down a narrow alley and up cobbled stairs, you can't drive to the door, and your luggage wheels won't work. You have to park down the street (our host helped us with the luggage). Due to the nature of the town, built on a hill with narrow alleys, some of the rooms are a little dark.

The hotel has the best location in Berat, right below the castle, you can easily walk to every tourist attraction within 15 minutes. The hotel is a completely renovated building, but following the same plans as the old building at that site and using all the original materials. The rooms are impeccable, the outdoor spaces are wonderful, especially the breakfast terrace. Our host was attentive and helpful and the breakfast is great. Highly recommended.
