Guest Reviews

• Eva M Nava (8/5): - La duen̈a muy amable. La habitación y zonas comunes estaban bien. Cama cómoda El baño pequeño y un poco anticuado. El camino para llegar con coche es complicado y no es agradable el camino para ir al centro andando.
• Paula (8/5): -
• Jocelyn (9/5): - Beautiful villa, with a lovely terrace and garden. Set in a lovely peaceful and quiet area, yet still close to the main amenities, bus stop and supermarket. The hosts Dhimiter and Fatma, were very kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay there very much and Gjirokaster is such a beautiful amazing place.
• elisabeth (9/5): - Logement très propre, calme et très belle vue du jardin. J aurais aimé redonné les clés à la personne qui m a accueilli ou au moins avoir une information avant mon départ
• Maria Isabel (8/5): -

• Susan (10/5): A great place to stay - The family were lovely. The house and our apartment were lovely. We had a bedroom with bathroom and there was a large sitting area, all tastefully decorated. It is situated just off the main road, lower edge of town, near a supermarket. It's a 25 minute walk from the bus station, or a taxi ride €5. If you don't want to walk uphill to the town centre/bazaar and castle there is a bus stop nearby. Highly recommended. Nothing
• Radu Cristian (10/5): Overall we felt like home and the owners were super nice. - The room was cozy, felt like home. At the end of one day the owner came to us with a plate of watermelon which was very nice. The road is a little bit scary, very narrow. The owner send us a video where he explained us how to reach the property.
• 74 (10/5): - Bellissimo posto ottima struttura e pulizia delle camere ,Villa Braho è dotato di un bel parcheggio all'interno della villa, i padroni di casa gente gentilissima e molto disponibili....
• Ladislav (10/5): - Ubytování naprosto předčilo má očekávání! Poloha je skvělá – vše důležité je na dosah, přitom je zde příjemný klid a soukromí. Kvalita ubytování je na vysoké úrovni – vše čisté, útulné a promyšlené do posledního detailu. Velmi oceňuji i rychlou a vstřícnou komunikaci s majitelem, který reagoval téměř okamžitě a ochotně poradil. Určitě doporučuji a rád se sem znovu vrátím.
• Olivia (10/5): Parfait pour nous attentes - Très agréable. Nous avons eu le droit à un petit déjeuner chaque jour, nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Le logement est propre. Aboiement de chiens dans la nuit
• Femke R. (10/5): Perfect! - The rooms are modern and clean. Everything you need. Nice garden with a lovely view over the mountains. The owners are friendly. She brought us water, fresh juice, fruit and some other delicious food. Google Maps doesn't know it's way around here, they whatsapped us a video so we could find the villa very easy. The villa is closely located to Gjirokastër's famous Bazaar (old town). We had a wonderful time here! ❤️ We liked everything!
• Ozturk (9/5): Superb - Very friendly hosts, brought us something to eat and drink, checked in to see how we were doing. Great service, would recommend!
• Tetiana (10/5): A dreamlike stay - My stay at Vila Braho went far beyond my expectations. The view is absolutely breathtaking—every morning began with breakfast in the backyard, overlooking majestic mountains, surrounded by olive trees, blooming flowers, and birdsong. It felt like something out of a movie—peaceful, picturesque, and deeply soothing. The room was perfect: clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Everything was new and fresh. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, with high-quality linen, and the shower was large and modern. It had everything I needed and more, with attention to detail evident in every corner. Communication with the host was impeccable—warm, helpful, and always available. But what truly sets this place apart is the host’s family. Their care and hospitality were extraordinary. They welcomed me with open hearts and made me feel like the most precious guest, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. I genuinely felt like a princess. The nights were blissfully quiet, which was very important to me as I’m a light sleeper. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty and heartfelt hospitality, made this stay unforgettable. The breakfasts were also delicious and full of local charm—another reason to look forward to each day. I’m incredibly thankful for this experience, and I’ll do my best to come back. Vila Braho is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel joy, rest, and connection.
• Tuulikki (9/5): Easy to reach to - after you've found where it is - Situated near the old town but not very far from the newer town either. It's less than 2 kilometer to Bulevardi 18 Shtatori, where most beauty salons, fashion shops and restaurants are situated. The host speaks good English and he brings breakfast with clockwork precision. He co-works with his granny who does the cleaning and breakfast. We knew this b&b would be hard to find by car, but we still chose it, because we thought deeper in old town it would be even more difficult. We read the review by Michael from USA and copied his map telling what to do and what not, but his last advise is to meet a host to guide you the rest of the way. Well, we didn't. We got a video instead. It was difficult to match the video and the terrain. We didn't notice the right street corner and ended up in quite a maze. Eventually we found our way out of the labyrinth and on our second attempt we managed to find the route shown in the video. Maybe it would be a good idea to shoot the video more from the side so that the surroundings are better visible. At a quick glance, the right street looks like the courtyard of an apartment building. There is no problem finding the place on foot. You can easily use the stairs that Google Maps guides you to.
• Marius (9/5): Superb -
• Brian (9/5): Worderfull stay in Gjirokaster - I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Gjirokaster. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The atmosphere of the house was full of charm and tradition, making my experience even more special. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy rooms to the delicious breakfast and helpful recommendations. I will never forget the warmth and hospitality I received here. Thank you so much for making my trip unforgettable.
• Damien (10/5): Exceptional - We were very well received by Dhimiter, who is very friendly and sent us an explanatory video to help us easily find the accommodation. The accommodation is very quiet and the view of the mountains from the terrace is magnificent.
• Cristina (10/5): Great experience! - The room was cozy and clean, (we booked a family room with two queen size beds) and the host super kind to us! Breakfast was great as well as Turkish coffe! Despite the house being not that easy to reach, the host helped us with a video guide to get there! Super appreciated 👍🏼 The location Is quite near to the city center too: just 4-5 minutes by car or a little bit more if you like walking.
• Marsel (10/5): Exceptional - Best place to stay in Gjirokastra!! Pune e mire shqipe, vazhdoni keshtu..... .
• Seema (10/5): It was incredible - The room was clean and had an amazing view Nothing
• Miah (10/5): Amazing views and cozy stay. - I loved the kind host, the tasty breakfast, and the INCREDIBLE views! :) It was also so quiet at night and about 25 minute walk to the center of the city. The beds are soft and comfortable and the heater was perfect as the mountains get cold at night! I'd definitely stay here again :) It's a bit of a slightly uphill walk to the center of the city, so make sure that you're in good shape! :) But it's a lovely walk
• Jaime (10/5): A great place to stay in Gjirokaster - Fantastic location, great hosts, parking available on the property. Great breakfast and super clean rooms. Thank you! Nothing
• Vasili (10/5): Many thanks to Dimitri for the warm welcome. Wonderful apartments, beautiful views from the window, excellent breakfast -
• Anna (8/5): Very good -
• James (10/5): Exceptional - This place is so comfortable and homely. The family are really welcoming and kind, made us coffee on arrival and in the morning and we could help ourselves to delicious fresh oranges and mandarins from the garden. The room is great, good shower with super hot water and heating as it can be cold in Gjirokaster at night. It's a really peaceful location, you can follow an interesting route to the town centre area and bus station. You can relax in the garden with amazing views.There's also a good supermarket very nearby. Everything was good!
• Theresa (10/5): Best stay in Gjirokastra - Best guesthouse during our trip through Albania! Our room was very clean and cosy. The family was absolutely lovely, they brought us fresh fruits every day. Fatma speaks a little bit English which helps a lot. We really enjoyed the hospitality 🙂
• Elena (10/5): Everything perfect! - Very, very spacious apartment Super clean Lovely terrace with amazing mountain view Nicest hosts who treated us with watermelon, coffee, home made bread, etc. Quiet area, super market 5 minutes walk, old city 20 minutes Everything perfect! -
• Andrei (10/5): Exceptional - The host were amazing. Very nice people. We recommand.
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious accommodation - large bedroom, bathroom, and shared living room by entrance. Very quiet: on hillside with fruit tree garden. Good WiFi, friendly host. If you are driving, be very clear where you need to turn off the main road (onto Rrugra Gjin Zenebisi across from YES Cash and immediately before Big Market, and NOT further down the road onto Rruga Hasan Xhiku near Crystal Bar, as Google may take you). Also plan to meet a host to guide you the rest of the way.
• Tony (10/5): Exceptional - Immaculate building and a wonderful, welcoming kind family.
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional - Fatma and Tani were great hosts! Unvaluable experience that makes you feel at Home. They also cook awesome Albanian dishes. No brainer to come here. Falamanderis!! ps: Follow the address in booking description to arrrive to the house and DO NOT put "Villa Braho" in Google Maps since that's the wrong place.
