Guest Reviews
- Liliya (10/5): - The location is perfect! The breakfast is simply amazing, varied, and delicious. The view from the balcony is stunning. The host is very responsive and friendly. I have already booked my next trip to this place and will reccommend it to my friends.
- Sabine (9/5): Traumhafter Blick - Der Blick ist traumhaft und das Frühstück war sensationell. Badezimmer ist sehr groß. Die Gastgeberfamilue, die aus Frauen aller Generationen bestand, war absolut nett und bemüht. Das Badezimmer war ein Gemeinschaftsbad, das war in der Beschreibung nicht offensichtlich. Das Zimmer ist sehr klein. Das mit dem Kaffee ist noch ausbaufähig, aber das gilt anscheinend in allen Unterkünften in Albanien. Schwer zu finden, wenn man spät abends ankommt.
- Paul No (10/5): - Delightful place. Well worthy of 10 stars. Beautiful courtyard garden. Hosted by a lovely welcoming family who are very attentive. The breakfast was simple enormous, varied and delicious. I would throughly recommend staying here. Can't fault it. All great.
- Lisa (10/5): Parfait ! - Un incroyable accueil par cette grand-mère albanaise qui malgré la barrière de la langue nous montre sa joie de nous recevoir. Un petit-déjeuner absolument délicieux ! Emplacement parfait ! Les moustiques !
- Véronique (10/5): Le véritable accueil albanais et le meilleur petit déjeuner - L'accueil de 3 générations. Une mamie adorable, aux beignets délicieux, les meilleurs, qui sans parler anglais vous ouvre sa maison avec son sourire. Ses 2 petits enfants maîtrisent parfaitement l'anglais et par téléphone, par SMS, WhatsApp, vous conseillent et vous aident. Extraordinaire petit déjeuner. En 20 jours, ma guesthouse préférée ou j'ai apprécié le calme, la grande chambre, la terrasse pour me reposer, ayant un bon lumbago. Le petit fils m'a conduit à l'office de tourisme pour trouver un cours de cuisine. Le beau petit jardin fleuri est bien agréable pour le petit déjeuner. Mon hôtesse m'a préparé un superbe petit déjeuner à emporter lors de mon départ à 6h du matin en bus. J'aurais juste aimé apprendre faire les beignets du matin avec mon hôtesse.
- Caroline (10/5): Accueil formidable, lieu magnifique, grand, et très confortable - Magnifique maison avec chambre très spacieuse et tout le confort, avec accès rapide à pied au centre historique. Petit-déjeuner frais et copieux, fait maison (délicieuses confitures !) dans un sublime jardin. Accueil incroyable, des hôtes extrêmement gentils et accueillants. Mon conjoint était malade, la dame et son petit-fils nous ont préparé et offert un repas adapté pour qu'il se rétablisse rapidement. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Rien, tout était parfait !
- Philipp (10/5): - It's a family run guesthouse with exceptionally friendly hosts. The garden is beautiful and the perfect place for the rich breakfast they serve. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was quiet and only a walk of 10-15 minutes away from the castle / bazaar.
- PAULA (9/5): - El desayuno es excelente, mejor no se consigue.
El lugar es acogedor, nos hospedamos en la habitación doble con balcon, super limpio .
La señora un amor, si bien no compartíamos idioma , siempre busco la manera de entendernos. Esta a media distancia del castillo y el mercado. Sabe que los caminos son con pendiente, por lo que caminar requiere de un esfuerzo extra.
- Rob (9/5): - Vriendelijk mensen, lekker ontbijt
- Belen (10/5): La família que porta el negoci és extremadament atenta i servicial. Un lloc fantàstic per allojtar-s’hi a Gjirokaster! - L’habitació estava netíssima, l’esmorzar boníssim, i el més important, el servei és fantàstic. La família que porta el negoci és maquíssima i molt atenta.
- Guest (10/5): - Logement très bien placé, très calme et très belle vue. Possibilité de se garer facilement à proximité. Le petit déjeuner était incroyable, je recommande !
- Bavo (10/5): - Nice location, beautiful garden, friendly staff. We felt really welcome in Gjirokaster!
- chris (10/5): - An exceptional place to stay. Great hosts, very clean and comfortable, great views from the balcony and.to top it all off a breakfast fit for a king.
- Patricia (10/5): - La amabilidad de la señora de la casa, siempre con una sonria. Tiene un porche lleno de flores precioso y el desayuno riquísimo Subir las cuestas, pero eso no es culpa del alojamiento, es porque toda la ciudad está en cuesta
- Clara (10/5): -
- Johanna (10/5): Toll!! - Das Zimmer war für vier Leute ausreichend, die Betten bequem.
Das Frühstück war sensationell! (Das beste auf unserer ganzen Reise!!!)
Das geteilte Bad war sauber und wir konnten es alleine benutzen.
Der Gastgeber war total nett und sehr zuvorkommend.
- Harrison (10/5): -
- Nuria (10/5): Amazing place! - Super kind hosts 😀 They don't speak much english but you manage to communicate.Close to the old part
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning view. Very cute garden with lots of flowers and the mountains in the background. The breakfast was large and super delicious. The room had a/c which was nice in the heat.
The guesthouse is run by the sweetest family. The grandmother is there all the time greeting guests etc. she did not speak any english - but her grandson did and he came by often so no problems there.
- Zuzana (10/5): Very nice and sweet accommodation - Really nice garden, and extremely nice family who took a great care of us.
- Joanne (9/5): Warm, hospitable family home with devious home cooked 🧇 - It was a beautiful property with flowers in pots and a grape arbour under which to have the delicious and expansive home cooked breakfast. My room had a balcony and was very comfortable with excellent air conditioning. The family don’t speak English but Google translate did the trick. They were so hospitable and kind. A bit of a walk from the bazaar but well worth it. Also great to be able to do washing there Nothing. Everything was perfect
- Francisca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marharyta (10/5): Exceptional - Clean cozy room in a quiet place. Very tasty food for breakfast. Nice friendly family. Location close to the castle. Terrace with the flowers.
- Robinson (10/5): Exceptional - Great room with beautiful garden full of plants and flowers. The view from the room's balcony is splendid. Hosts are adorable and breakfast is amazing.
Flat is 25mns by foot from bus station and 10 mns from city center of Gjirokaster.
- Moritz (9/5): Superb - Really nice view from the balkony and very big and tasty breakfast!
- Wojciech (10/5): Amazing! - The localization of the apartment is super nice. The garden in which you're having breakfasts is like from a fairytale with amazing views on the valley. Also the same applies to the view from the balcony in the room. The guesthouse is close to the city center but on the other side it provides enough privacy and silence to have rest during the night. Contact with the host remotely was really good and Kostandin made sure we had everything provided. His family in the guesthouse was really lovely and welcoming caring for us and making sure that we are ok and we don't leave the apartment in the morning being hungry.
To sum up - definitely an amazing place to visit and I would really love to come back already :) The only little thing - it's hard to communicate with the family in the object sometimes, but it's totally doable with google translate or any other tool, I just want to point it out so no one is surprised. For me this makes this experience more unique.
- Samya (10/5): Exceptional - Such a nice family who welcomed us in their home! The home itself was located in a cosy cobblestone street and had the most amazing view. We had a great time and would 100% recommend!
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katharina (10/5): Perfect stay in Gjirokastra - The host family was very welcoming, the room was clean and had a balcony. The location is in a calm area in walking distance from the center. I had an extraordinary breakfast (pancakes, fruit, toast, eggs, jam and more) on the beautiful terrace!
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, nice hosts and amazing, big, delicious breakfast!
- Xander (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was amazing
- Simon (8/5): Very good - Good location (cca 5 min nwalk from the old town Gjirokaster). Good breakfast, spacious room and nice bathroom. The owners dont speak any english so its hard to communicate.
- Ratkoceri (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely everything, made me feel like at home and part if their family, would definitely come again and recommend to family and friends, breakfast made at what time u liked, and fresh, it was clean throughout. Nothing
- Seth (10/5): Nice room in lovely guesthouse - Very nice guesthouse run by a lovely family. Our room was very comfortable and clean, with a balcony. The breakfast was very tasty and generous. The guesthouse is well located, close to the castle and the old town with nice shops and restaurants.
- Love (10/5): Stunning views, friendly staff and very clean. - What a beautiful place! The room was very comfortable with stunning views from the balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even though they didn't all speak English. They found a way to communicate and welcome us. We had breakfast in the garden underneath the fruit trees. It was so nice.
I would highly recommend this guesthouse.
