Guest Reviews

• Suzanne (10/5): - Amazing! We have enjoyed our stay so much. The views are unbelievable. We stayed for 4 nights, which is quite a lot for Gjirokastër, but spend the morning on the balcony chilling, reading and enjoying the view. The bed was comfy and the kitchen well equipped. The host even provided coffee and tea. He also escorted us himself which helped a lot in the narrow and difficult streets in town. Also being able to do laundry was great. Highly recommend! There was quite a lot of light in the bedroom. It could do with some better curtains.
• Andrea (10/5): - Amazing views, very comfortable apartment, And super helpful owner. Everything about the apartment was perfect ...streets in gjorkaster are steep And narrow And need a confident driver
• Muhammed Emin (10/5): Old Town’ın kalbinde şahane bir ev - Bir ailenin ihtiyaç duyabileceği her şey ama her şey düşünülmüş. Kahve makineleri, kettle, mikrodalga, ütü, ütü masası, tüm mutfak ve banyo ekipmanları, her şey vardı. Ayrıca tertemizdi. Gerçek anlamda bir temizlikten söz ediyorum, teşekkür ederiz. Ayrıca bize daireyi tanıtan kişi de çok nazikti, bizi karşıladı ve araba için park yeri gösterdi. Ev tepede kalıyor, arabayı çok yakına bırakıp çok az yürüyorsunuz. Karşılayan kişi valiz taşımada da yardımcı oldu. Sonrasında gezilecek her yere yürüyerek gidebilirsiniz, balkonda oturup şahane manzaranın keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. Aklımız orda kaldı, çok teşekkürler.
• Craig (9/5): Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if in Gjirokaster - Excellent location and amazing view over Gjirokaster. Great hot water and coffee maker. Comfortable beds and great heating. Cozy and spacious living quarters. Washing machine available but we didn't use it. We knew this, but the location (like all of Gjirokaster Old Town) requires navigating very steep streets. Parking was a adventure, but the owner helped by providing parking instructions and even sending someone to meet us to guide us to the actual parking area up above the apartment. Still, driving and parking is not for the faint of heart. Bathroom was little small and could benefit from some towel hooks.
• Noémie (10/5): -
• Alexandre (10/5): - Une vue exceptionnelle sur le bazaar et le château, d'où admirer le lever de soleil. Appartement tout confort et extrêmement bien situé pour tout faire à pieds en laissant la voiture garée (préférable vu l'étroitesse des rues et la circulation). Rien
• ANNE BENEDICTE (9/5): Super séjour à Gjirokaster, magnifique ville avec une bonne soirée passée sur l’appartement - Très très bon logement, bien situé avec une belle vue sur l’ensemble de la ville Tout l’équipement était à disposition La terrasse au top L’accueil était tres peu agréable, très difficile de communiquer avec le propriétaire
• Magdalena (10/5): - Wyjątkowo klimatyczny, przestronny apartament, z widokiem na zamkowe wzgórze i góry, przemili , pomocni właściciele.
• Iacopo Giuseppe (10/5): Sistemazione unica, tipica e in posizione perfetta - La casa è davvero bellissima, molto pulita e arredata in stile tipico ottomano, con una terrazza spettacolare da cui si vedevano il bazar, la moschea e il castello. La posizione è ottima: il bazar (cioè il centro città) si raggiunge a piedi in meno di cinque minuti. L’accoglienza è stata impeccabile: il proprietario è gentilissimo, ci ha accolti con grande disponibilità, ci ha fatto parcheggiare gratuitamente in uno spiazzo vicinissimo e ci ha lasciato anche acqua e caffè. Da segnalare però che arrivare in auto non è semplicissimo: la zona ha salite molto ripide, con la mia macchina ho avuto parecchie difficoltà (mi si spegneva e non ripartiva facilmente) e il navigatore tende a confondersi totalmente rendendo impossibile raggiungere la destinazione (il punto di incontro segnalato dal proprietario). Nel nostro caso siamo stati fortunati a incontrare un abitante del posto che è salito con noi in macchina per guidarci fino alla casa: all’inizio eravamo titubanti perché non sapevamo se fidarci, ma poi lo stesso proprietario ci ha rassicurati. Avremmo però preferito che fosse direttamente lui a venirci incontro, anziché questa persona che alla fine ha chiesto soldi insistentemente: inizialmente gli avevamo dato 6/7 € che avevo a portata di mano, ma non se ne è andato finché non ha avuto 10 €. A parte questo episodio, il soggiorno è stato davvero piacevole: una sistemazione unica, super tipica e assolutamente consigliata!
• Danielle (10/5): Mooi appartement met fantastisch uitzicht! - Wat een fantastisch uitzicht krijg je hier. Je kijkt zo naar de oude stad (moskee) en de citadel. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk en spreekt met je af om je op te halen. Dat is fijn omdat de straatjes erg nauw zijn. Je auto kan je vlak bij het appartement kosteloos parkeren. Het appartement beschikt over goede koffie! En je krijgt enkele flessen water. Wat ook fijn is dat er een wasmachine aanwezig is die je kan gebruiken. Kortom een hele fijne locatie in het centrum van Gjirokaster. We misten alleen een waterkoker.
• Meg (8/5): Beautiful views in a lovely town - would definitely reccomend. - Great location with amazing view from a nice balcony. Very easy to visit the Bazar and Castle with lots of nearby restaurants with great food choices. Difficult to get to on foot due to steep hill!
• Piotr (9/5): - Excelent location, beautiful view from the balcony.
• Michferme (10/5): - Appartement très bien situé. Hôte disponible pour nous aider à trouver le logement car pas facile de circuler dans Gjirokaster. Confortable et une vue à couper le souffle sur la ville.
• Christina (9/5): Superb - Nice apartment with spectacular view to the castle, very close to the pedestrian streets where all restaurants, cafes, bars etc are. The host was very kind and helpfull
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. Especially the big balcony with an incredible view of the castle. The place felt super private and was spotlessly clean. Loved this property!
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lyn (9/5): Lovely apartment with an amazing view! - A good sized, very well equipped apartment with a great balcony and a fantastic view. The location was very good, walking distance to the old bazaar and the castle. The apartment was comfortable, very clean and it was great to have a washing machine and a comfy couch to relax on at the end of a hot day. The host was very helpful, he met us when we arrived in Gjirokaster and drove us to the apartment and very kindly helped with our luggage. Everything was great about the apartment, the only thing that we didn't like was the steep hill to get there. Hills are a part of Girokaster, but this one would be difficult if you had mobility issues, as you cannot drive close to the house.
• Jennifer (10/5): Phenomenal view! - The host could not have been more helpful! The view from the apartment is incredible. Generous sized rooms and balcony. Location from the old town is great, just a couple of minutes walk and close to the castle. The apartment has everything you could need. Don't think you could find a better self catering apartment in Girokaster!
• Ioannis (8/5): Very good -
• Julie (10/5): Great view and location! - The view from the large terrace was amazing! The apartment was a short walk into town. Th host was there to meet us and even helped us park our car. Maybe a couple additional coffee pods and some creamer - so as to be able to enjoy the terrace even more!
• Barbara (10/5): Superb stay in Gjirokastër. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful. - Enjoyed the location - excellent views from the balcony and a short walk to the bazaar It was difficult to reach however our host was exceptionally kind and helped us with our luggage.
• Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Albè (9/5): Our accommodation made our visit to Gjirokaster unforgettable - It’s cosy and the interior is a perfect match for the Gjirokaster environment. In the heart of the old town, perfect self catering location Nothing
• Damjana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location near to the caste and old bazar with amazing view
• Ben (10/5): Amazing view and location - The views from the balcony were stunning! It was a sun trap for the morning sun where we loved soaking in the charm of daily life in Gjirokaster and then enjoyed the illuminated town and castle by night. It was just a short walk in one direction to the castle or in another to the centre. The accommodation itself was so comfortable with an authentic, quaint charm yet modern features such as usb charging, Netflix, a good shower and a great espresso machine! The cooking facilities were great and the little touches such as the beer glasses in the fridge and bottled water when we arrived were a lovely touch. The beds were comfy and the bedding and property itself were exceptionally clean! There’s nothing we can fault! Our host met us on arrival - very friendly and helpful! We had a truly wonderful three nights here and would recommend staying here to anyone. Gjirokaster is a must when visiting Albania and I think you would struggle to find a better place to stay than here. Nothing.
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stella (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice view,friendly owner, good experience for traditional house.
• Χρηστος (9/5): Superb - It was really full equipped. The location is helpful, because it is at the historic center of gjirocaster, except the difficulties that this town has. A cosy balcony with a best view.
• Laura (10/5): The nicest view! - We really loved the view over the old city and ofcourse the castle! The location was awesome, it was fun to wonder in the old town in the dark. And the apartment was lovely!
• Vitalijs (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and comfortable apartments with super view.
• Kevin (10/5): Alfred was a great host, very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is in a great position, just 5 minutes walk into the - Well appointed and very comfortable. Free coffee supplied. THE VIEW FROM THE BALCONY! Shower curtain didn’t fit properly between the glass panels of the shower.
• Brian (7/5): Good - Location was very good.
• The (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at Emblematic House. The house is beautiful, clean and well located. The host is super friendly and helpful.The room had a wonderful view from the balcony where you can spend quality time enjoying with the family, good living room size with well equipped kitchen. We highly recommend this Guesthouse if you are visiting Gjirojaster! The outside architecture is typical Gjirokaster style, amazing!
• Andra (10/5): Exceptional - Very central and pretty location, close to the old town. The host was very kind and helped us park and take our bags to the apartment. We also enjoyed the time spent on the balcony with the view of the city
• Giuseppe (10/5): Exceptional - Extraordinarey location, clean, modern, nice house. Extremely nice snd helpful people.
• Prizza (10/5): Exceptional - We had an incredible stay, which is conveniently located near the old town and Gjirokaster Castle. The house is fully equipped with all the amenities you could need, including chargers, water, and coffee. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning, overlooking the town and providing a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The owner and his wife went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They assisted us from our arrival and even dropped us off at their place, ensuring we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. Their hospitality truly made our experience special. I highly recommend Alfred's house for anyone looking to explore Gjirokaster. You won't be disappointed! Nothing
• Elnur (10/5): Stunning View of Gjirokastra - The location and view from the apartment terrace were absolutely stunning. It's also quite cozy on the inside, with just about everything one may need. I'd highly recommend it for a couple or small group. Everything was great
• Lisa (10/5): Excellent property had everything we needed - Beautiful view from the balcony and great to have a washing machine as we were travelling light. Immaculately clean with a lovely power shower Nothing
• Lola (10/5): Highly recommend! - Absolutely amazing stay! You will hardly find a better view than this. Apartment itself is great as well, mix of traditional Albanian and modern interior. All main attractions are nearby, just few minutes walking, but I recommend to wear comfortable sneakers 😅 The host is very friendly, kind and welcoming, it was a pleasure to be a guest in his house.
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding view, really kind personal. The mattress deserves to be replaced with a new one. The right side is not flat anymore and I had a feeling all night I am falling down.
• Robinson (10/5): Special Apartment in Special Berat - Lovely quite modern apartment in an old beautiful building, but the main factor of this apartment is the lovely balcony with an amazing view. Short walk to the bazaar area etc . Quite steep for a short stretch coming back but worth it for the view A big mirror inside the apartment would be good for the ladies. There is one in the hallway.
• Neha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samantha (10/5): Best Balcony in the city! - The best balcony in the whole city and the AC works perfectly! Message the host before you arrive to find out where to meet for parking. Perfect!
