Guest Reviews
- daniela (9/5): - Die Lage war sehr zentral und dabei sehr ruhig.
- Fabian (9/5): -
- Fleur (10/5): Amazing view on the castle! - Well located close to the bazaar & castle. Very good communication by the host. We were picked up by the father to escort us to the place which was very nice. New & very clean rooms.
- Nicholas (10/5): Amazing room and hospitality - Very hospitable hosts! We were picked up from our bus station and dropped off the next day which was so handy for us. Elina also gave us a really great restaurant recommendation and was so helpful with any questions we had. The place was really clean and modern and the bed is so comfy. Highly recommend!
- Robert (10/5): Modern renovated luxurious apartment with amazing views, steps from center of town - Host was very detail oriented and communicative. Host met us in new town, and we followed up the hill and cobblestones to the apartment. Host helped us park our car in their private secure car park. Amazing modern renovation with all amenities and large comfortable balcony with views of mountains. Steps from center of old,town and a dozen restaurants. Stop looking and book this place. Loved it and the town! Nothing.
- Kasas (10/5): - Cute appartment with a romantic view
Love this place and the city
- Krista (10/5): Excellent location, amazing views and a very nice, modern, clean and comfortable room - The location is perfect: right in the old town with amazing views of Gjirokaster and the castle. The rooms was spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, the beds were very comfortable, and the small kitchenette was well stocked with coffee and tea and a few welcome snacks. The host was very kind. She even sent her father to rescue us when we got lost in the old town with our rental car. We would definately stay here again. It was our favourite room we stayed at during our trip to Albania. The photo is from the terrace in front of our room. Everything was very good - nothing to dislike
- linda1009 (10/5): Rare perfection, marvellous luxury stay - This large apartment was by far the best of our accommodation in 3 weeks travelling around Albania. Car parking was available but we didn't use it (narrow road access, we were a bit afraid!). We left our car in the large underground carpark about a 6 minute walk away. We were met by the owners mother who was lovely and welcoming and friendly and showed us the apartment. Marvellous view over the town and the castle above. The apartment is beautifully furnished with top quality fittings and furniture and bedding. There's no needless clutter and everything has been thought out. Extremely clean too. We stayed 2 nights and didn't want to leave. Shops and restaurants and all that Gyjirokaster Old Town has to offer is just 3 mins walk (uphill). Small kitchenette with everything you need for an apartment stay to fix meals that don't need cooking. Large balcony with comfy seating. Everything looks brand new! Quiet and peaceful. Leaving!!
- Galouni (10/5): -
- dotan (10/5): - מיקום מעולה שמאפשר לצאת ברגל למדרחוב ולהסתובב מבלי לדאוג לחניה.
קבלת הפנים היתה נפלאה וחמה וגם התקשורת.שקדמה לה עם המארחת.
המקרר היה מאובזר בשתייה, על השולחן עוגיות קפה ותה.
הדירה עם נוף מושלם, נקייה מודרנית ומאובזרת בכל מה שצריך.
מצליצה בחום!
- Marleen (10/5): Fantastisch appartement - Wat een fantastisch appartement. De ligging middenin het centrum, de rust, het bed, het dakterras, het uitzicht, de inrichting, de vriendelijke hosts. Alles was top aan dit appartement. Wij hadden het appartement aan de zijkant met het grote dakterras. Wat hebben we genoten. Het heeft onze verwachtingen overtroffen. Niets
- MARIANELA (9/5): Apartamento de diseño en Gjirokaster - La ubicación. Todo nuevo. El personal muy atento. La ducha una maravilla. Decoración de diseño. Vistas al castillo desde la habitación. Zona chill out en la terraza. El colchón un poco blando.
- Álvaro A. Barragán L (10/5): - Everything!
The design, the good service from the host, the cozyness.
The view to the city and the castle!. .
- Joe (10/5): Beautiful, well-appointed flat in the heart of the Old Town of Gjirokaster - The property is perfectly situated in the Old Town of Gjirokaster nearby lots of restaurants and the main tourist attractions. We stayed in the apartment with a balcony, which afforded spectacular views of the mountain, valley and castle. It is also very tastefully appointed, with a comfortable bed a great living/seating area. Our host, Elina was helpful and thoughtful, swift to respond and kind enough to provide welcome drinks upon our arrival. The property was also spotless when we arrived. Would highly recommend! Nothing, this house was perfect.
- Elena (10/5): Wir hatten einen absolut wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Castle Front Villa in Gjirokastra. Die Gastgeber sind außergewöh -
- Sarah (10/5): Best villa ever, thank you for turning Girokaster into my favorite place in Albania ! - BOOK IT !!!! I swear this villa was the BEST hotel i’ve ever been in my life !!!! We stayed 2 nights but if i knew how this villa is amazing i would have booked more nights.
The view is spectacular, the villa is so tidy and clean and beautiful. The location is excellent, it is soundproof we weren’t deranged by the street noise. There is a mirror light for the makeup. The balcony there is magical for sunrise.
- Steneves (10/5): Au top etablissement superbe - L'acceuil au top, les conseils de la gerante, la proprete, spatieux Ce serait top d'avoir le petit dejeuner de proposé
- Eran (9/5): -
- Jurjen (10/5): - This is one of the hidden gems that you only really discover once you walk through the gate. A very spacious villa, with a modern and carefully selected interior. Fully equipped, with two balconies, one with view of the castle, equipped with lounge chairs. Very easy communication with the host, she even left us some cold beers in the fridge, which were very welcome with 40-degrees outside temperature. The castle, bars, restaurants and souvenir shops are all within walking distance. Parking is on the premises, but you will have to drive through some narrow and hilly cobblestone roads to get there... but there is also a very convenient parking 300m away.
- M. (10/5): TOP! - Prachtige plek, lieve mensen, superschoon, zeer vriendelijk ontvangst!
- ELENI (10/5): - Πολύ καλό κατάλυμα. Καθαρό, μεγάλο με όλες τις ανέσεις. Η θέα τέλεια. Δίπλα στο παζάρι βρίσκεται .. δεν κουράζεσαι καθόλου. Έχει και δικό του πάρκινγκ (πράγμα σπάνιο για την περιοχή που βρίσκεται). Δεν δυσκολευτήκαμε ούτε να το βρούμε ούτε με τον δρόμο (εάν κ έχουμε χαμηλό αμάξι).
- Kathryn (10/5): - Gorgeous apartment, old style building but very stylish interior, the nicest apartment of our trip. Great city centre location with parking, but was still quiet at night. Elina (the host) was really helpful and friendly and could easily be reached on WhatsApp. Would highly recommend. Nothing!
- Jasper (10/5): -
- Jaime (10/5): -
- Edvin (10/5): A Slice of Paradise, Perfectly Served - Castlefront Villa was absolutely a unique experience and probably one of the best Villas in Albania. It was located only 2 minutes on foot away from the old bazaar ( literally quite central) and it had its own parking on the site which is not very usual for the hotels in the old town of Gjirokaster. The view of the castle was jaw-dropping and all the landscape seemed majestic from our room . The exterior was built with the elements of the traditional houses in Gjirokaster, whereas the interior offered a high class decoration, with super modern equipment , extremely comfortable beds and crystal clear rooms. The hosts couldn’t have been more sweet , helpful and friendly. This villa isn’t for those who want just a bed and Wi-Fi. It’s for souls craving something quietly extraordinary. A place that doesn’t scream luxury but whispers magic. We will definitely come here each time we visit Gjirokaster and i totally recommend this villa to everyone!! Our fault that we didn’t stay longer than 1 night there.
- Primož (10/5): Tranquility and fairytale in a beautiful oasis - This villa is a fairy-tale oasis of peace, taste, design, and wonderful hosts. The interior was designed by architects, the view of the castle is magnificent. The accommodation is next to the old part of the city. The hosts are intellectuals. Their friendly daughter studies medicine in Saarbrücken. What a pleasant chat we had. The view of the castle is dreamy. Everything is arranged and thoughtfully designed to perfection. It's a shame we didn't stay a few more days. Worth every euro. Outstanding. Parking is a bit harder. It is better to leave auto on a public parking spot down the road.
- Karine (10/5): Beautifully Renovated Gem in the Heart of the Old Town - The place is beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated. Everything you need is provided – shampoo, drinks in the fridge, and more. The terrace is stunning, and the location right in the heart of the old town is incredible. The only thing to note is that access by car involves navigating very narrow streets, which didn’t bother us but might be tricky for some drivers.
- Aine (10/5): Everything was perfect. - The location is fantastic, at the gates of the old town facing the castle.
The room was spotless & the facilities were excellent. Small details like the fluffy towels, coffee facilities, drinks in the fridge, seating area at the front all made this the perfect stay.
The host Elina couldn’t have been more helpful. She messaged on WhatsApp before we arrived with all of the necessary details & was so friendly & helpful throughout our stay. Her mom & dad were also lovely. Nothing
- Nelly (10/5): Our stay was phenomenal. - We loved the location. It was close to everything. Our room was amazing and super spacious for me, my daughter and husband. We loved it our stay. The host was great and really friendly. I would definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area. Everything was great and I honestly have no complaints. Perhaps the only thing would have been to stay longer and enjoy our room a bit more.
- Jonathon (10/5): Amazing place - we will come again! - Amazing location, super friendly hosts, exceptionally well appointed villa. We loved staying here and would definitely come back in the future.
- Olivia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at Castlefront Villa. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. Elena is amazing and she did everything possible to make our stay memorable. Thank you Elena and your mum, we enjoyed meeting you both and staying at your beautiful property.
- Cora (10/5): Exceptional - Modern, clean. Perfectly located. Fantastic host. Host gets 11 out of 10 Parking was difficult to navigate.
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous hosts - picked us up from and returned us to the bus station. Accommodation had been designed and completed to a high standard.
- Nimrodg (10/5): Wonderful stay. Highly recommended! - We liked everything!
The hosts (and their daughter who manages the online business) were super friendly and helped organize a birthday surprise.
The room was modern, clean and spacious.
The location is the best possible in town.
Private parking with a gate is also a huge bonus. The parking entrance is quite tricky, but the host will happily help if asked and it didn't bother us as a parking in such a central place is not a given.
Just a note, the king size bed is two connected beds, which is quite normal, but we would have preferred one single big bed 😊
- Jennifer (10/5): Perfect stay in Gjirocaster - We still miss being at this property - it has a nice big terrace with spectacular views of the castle. The centre of town is just a couple of minutes away but it was quiet for sleeping. Our hosts were very responsive, kind and helpful (especially with the parking!). The flat is fully modernised and comfortable - highly recommended.
- Adrian (9/5): Superb - Great location. Free parking on site. Friendly host. Quick communication and flexible. Beautiful room with great balconies. Clean. Kitchenette limited to basic meal preparation. Unable to really cook a meal.
- Tiffany (10/5): Stunning guesthouse with beautiful views of the castle and Gjirokaster! - We loved our stay at the Castlefront Villa. I chatted with our host on What’s App prior to our arrival. I had trouble finding the location from the booking.com address but later realized she sent me a link in what’s app that would have worked better. A family member came to track us down and then helped back our vehicle into the parking spot. The mom was on site to give us our keys and let us in. She was incredibly sweet (as was the daughter on what’s app). The guest house was very modern on the inside. Bathroom was immaculate and it had everything we needed for our short stay. The best part was an espresso in the morning on the terrace right outside our door and the incredible view of the castle. We stayed in 6 guest houses in Albania and my friend and I quickly agreed with liked this spot best. It was steps away from the bazaar. Great value! And in the morning the father of the family came to back our vehicle out of the parking spot. Such kind people! Would highly recommend! Thank you for having us! That we couldn’t stay longer!
- Gary (10/5): Utterly faultless - This establishment is perfect. The proprietor fantastic. The rooms are spacious and very modern and very clean. There is absolutely nothing you could think of that is wrong. It is as good as it gets. Location perfect. Zero
- Taj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elaine (10/5): A slice of luxury with a heavenly view. - High end beautifully decorated apartment with stunning view in Gjirokaster old town. Loved the interior and terrace, so comfortable and brilliantly located for shops, cafes and restaurants. Owners friendly and helpful which we really appreciated. We would stay again for sure, thoroughly recommend. Literally loved everything.
- John (9/5): Almost a "10" For Us - This may be one of our favorite properties from years of travel.
PROS;
The design of the rooms
The details provided in the rooms
The appointments are all new, of great quality, and add to the guest's comfort
The location is right next to the bazaar, and 15 minutes from the castle
The grounds are very nice and pleasing to the eye and nose
The hosts are very friendly and helpful CONS;
- We found the rate to be a little high, but the properties in this town are elevated
- There was no cook stove in the kitchen or a microwave oven, which would be more of an issue if we stayed longer than one night
- Kristina (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great experience! The villa is beautiful, the apartment is big , clean and comfy. You can find everything you need in the apartment. The view is amazing. And location is perfect- in the heart of the old town. The landlady is very nice and helpful person . We enjoyed our stay. Totally recommend! Nothing
- Andrew (10/5): BRILLIANT - Stop searching for another property - you wont find anything better than this place.!!!! - This place is brilliant. So close to the old bizarre - just a few hundred meters further up the hill and then not to far from castle. Yet it is still so quiet and peaceful. It has an amazing outlook from the property both day and night as you can sit outside your room on the balcony and admire the beautiful castle views and across the valley. The rooms themselves are extremely comfortable and very high quality. Better beds/sheets/pillows than some of the 5 star hotels i have stayed in around the world. Beautiful modern bathroom - very well appointed that also offers toiletries complimentary. Some drinks and chocolate snacks provided free of charge also another welcome addition. But above all of this is the very friendly family that run this small hotel. Daughter has perfect english and sends all the information you need prior to arrival and is available for any questions throughout your stay. I was actually unwell due to fever when i stayed and they offered to take me to the doctor or bring me medication. Really wonderful people. Can't recommend this place highly enough Google maps was not 100% accurate when we were driving here - had to go a little bit further than what google maps advised. No big issue. We had small to mid size car and it was a little tricky to back into the car park but the father was also there to offer to reverse it in. Bigger cars would be challenged. But no problem at all with car parking.
- Ori (10/5): Best ever - The villa is located very very close to the town centre near restaurants and bars very close to the castle. Very comfortable rooms very clean.
- Susan (10/5): First class! Would highly recommend. - The view from the apartment was to die for! Not as sound proofed as it could be. We heard the guests downstairs!
- Kim (9/5): A perfect stay! - From before we even arrived, the hosts were excellent. Owners daughter sent a message to welcome us and give us tips etc. The room was stocked with drinks and snacks complimentary, it was very clean. Parking was available in a secure location. The view was absolutely outstanding! I can't imagine a better view for an apartment. The hosts were easy to contact and offered help whenever we needed it. Payment on card was easy. Location was fabulous, right near the beautiful bazaar. Check out was relaxed. A perfect stay! Everywhere else we've stayed had dressing gowns and this accommodation didn't offer this but it's a minor and just a nice to have. Room was a little cold but heating and AC available, so warmed up in no time. Nothing else negative to comment - it's really lovely.
- Vladyslav (10/5): The best place for a quiet, relaxing holiday with an unforgettable view - Incredible view, hospitable hosts, convenient location, very cozy place, didn't want to leave. I recommend to everyone
- Achini (10/5): Best money you will spend in Gjirokaster - We loved everything about this place, from the sweet hosts to the modern amenities. The location is just perfect. From the linen to coffee, they had provided the best of everything. Nothing at all.
- Koen (10/5): Amazing - Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. We found it exceptionally pleasant. The view from the garden was truly beautiful. The accommodation met all our requirements. We also found the hosts to be very nice people. it was PERFECT
- Nicolle (10/5): Exceptional - The best place to stay in Gjirokastër, if we could give it higher than a 10 I would! Awesome host, breathtaking views to the mountains and castle, and walking distance to the old town filled with shops, restaurants and markets. We informed the host about the celebration of a birthday and she decorated the room for us. The road to the place is pretty narrow like a lot of roads in Albania, but this should not be a turn off, the host will be more than happy to assist in parking the car for you. And the town is like 5 min walk away so no need for a car anyways.
- Calvin (10/5): Exceptional - Luxurious accommodation with spectacular views of the castle. Very convenient parking and amazing location next to the old town. Super friendly and helpful staff.
- Tomas (10/5): Wonderful!! - The house was very new and compfortable. The bed was perfect! The views from the terrace was excellent and also the location.
I would strongly recommend it
- Renald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luis (10/5): Best host in Albania - Host was class. Her farther even helped park our car. Nada
- Ryan (10/5): Perfect apartment perfects hosts - Modern apartment in perfect position for exploring the town. Nothing everything was great
- Gary (10/5): Fantastic place to stay in a wonderful old town. - WIthin the old town, at the edge of the bazaar, the villa had excellent views of the castle. Despite, being centrally located, it was very peaceful. The apartment was excellent with the additional benefit of a terrace. The owners were friendly and helpful in all things. Parking was on site and safe. Everything was better than described on line. Nothing
- Georgia (10/5): Great location and beautiful accommodation. - Our hosts were very accommodating and the location is fantastic. It is tight to park with a large car due to the smaller old style streets.
The accommodation was beautifully appointed and the view of the castle was stunning!
Just a short walk to the centre of the old town. Nothing
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional - We could not have wished for a warmer welcome and better hospitality.
Apart from the great beds, amazing view and central placement, the care we recieved from the hosts was unmatched by anything we ever had. If we could give 10 stars out of 5 we would have done so.
Taking the effort to drive us to (and pick us up from) the hospital because of the food poisoning we got at our previous destination, is something we will not quickly forget.
If you have the opportunity to visit this beautiful city, your experience will not be complete without a stay here! Nothing!
- Ivezaj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zoe (10/5): The most amazing apartment in the heart of the old bazaar - Everything. The decoration was modern and new. The balcony was big with an amazing view of the castle and town. The bathroom and shower was great. The small touches like the homemade syrup, nespresso machine and slippers made the sty so comfortable. Private residence to park also Nothing. Everything was perfect
- Rahul (10/5): Exceptional - We had an incredible stay in Gjirokaster! The hosts were super nice and welcoming. The property was very new, with everything brand new and thoughtfully designed. The attention to minute details made our stay exceptionally comfortable, from the four pillows (which I prefer over two) to the perfect storage solutions and a fantastic coffee machine. The shaded seating area was a lovely touch as well.
The location is unbeatable, with the property just 15 steps away from the old bazaar—this is no exaggeration! It’s a perfect spot to explore the charming streets of Gjirokaster.
Our visit coincided with my wife's birthday, and the hosts went above and beyond to make it special. They surprised us with a big cake and decorated the room with balloons. The cleanliness and comfort of the place were exceptional, and we appreciated the high-quality amenities provided.
What really stood out was the hosts' availability and willingness to help with anything, even my silly questions. They genuinely wanted our entire visit to Gjirokaster to be amazing, not just our stay. This level of care is rare and made a huge difference. Albanian people are the best!
Overall, the combination of the perfect location, meticulous attention to detail, and the exceptional hospitality of the hosts made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Gjirokaster! There was nothing we didn't like about our stay—I genuinely don't know how it could have been any better.
- Renato (10/5): Exceptional -
- Armando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous. Such lovely rooms with amazing views. Lovely friendly hosts All great
- Kriti (10/5): Awesome stay - It is family run hotel. Perfectly located. Everyone was so cooperative and helping. Rooms were well maintained and had everything. The owner also gave us homemade jams. We loved our stay at castlefront villa. Special mention to Genu, their neighbours dog. He is a cutie.
- Marta (10/5): It is simply an amazing place! -
- Athina (10/5): Extremely smooth stay, excellent hosts! - We loved our stay! The location was super central but at the same time in a quiet street. The apartment was brand new, comfortable and super clean with everything we needed. Excellent, easy to communicate with hosts! Nothing really, everything was great! The only thing that was a bit tricky was entering the parking with the car (we had an SUV) but with a couple maneuvers it was easy to manage in the end!
- Abena (10/5): An Outstanding Property and 5 Star Experience. - This is an amazing property, with spectacular Castle views, the perfect location and the kindest hosts.
The property's location couldn't be better, its a 3 minute walk to the Old Bazaar, 15 minutes to the Castle and so close to all the other wonderful attractions in Gjirokaster.
We had the most wonderful stay at the property. Castlefront Villa is just beautiful it offers luxurious modern decor, combined with the cool period features (the old well in the front) and it's also super spacious, with amazing little touches like the divine smelling candles and copious amounts of Nespresso coffee pods. Additional bonus point... I just loved that everything appeared to be brand new.
The hosts (Elina and her lovely parents) went over and beyond for us, assisting us with excursion and restaurant suggestions, helping us out with every random request we had. I cannot fault a thing, this really has been the best booking I've ever made on Booking.com (and I have stayed in many properties over the years).
- James (10/5): Fantastic - The location was spectacular. A castle on a mountain to one side and a mountain vista on the other. It really would be difficult to beat. The space was big, comfortable and well designed. There was filter coffee and a filter machine, as well as
Nespresso machine with pods. The hosts were great. They were helpful and friendly.
What's more is you are in the old town but away from the busy areas. But with a walk of maybe 2 minutes you hit the first of the restaurants in the old town. So the location is also great. There is also free parking on-site. If it isn't clear already I highly recommend this accommodation. There is nothing I didn't like. It was honestly that good.
- Karl (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place to stay, everything was perfect. New,clean,modern studio,very comfy,with free private parking. The host were really lovely and kind. Location is good and the view is amazing!
- Fleur (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect villa. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the center. Everything is impeccably clean, new, modern. The beds are very comfortable. The hosts welcomed us very warmly, they are very kind and ready to help. Amazing view of the castle! Thank you very much for everything and when we come we will stay with you again. Our sincere recommendation!
- Jonida (10/5): It is a villa that I really liked. new, clean, quiet, frontal view from the castle. I - Everything Nothing at all
- Edvin (10/5): Definitely gone visit castlefront villa again, i love that place - The hotel was very clean, the people’s there were very friendly and lovely, the best part was that they helped us allot and most important is that the food was great, the center of the town was really close and i loved my staying there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Kola (10/5): Exceptional - The villa was newly restored and everything was taken care of in detail. The room and environment was very clean. The position of the Villa is 2 minutes by foot from the center. The owners of the villa were very welcoming and made you feel like you were at home. Waking up in the morning was perfect. In the kitchen, you can find coffee, tea, water, etc., all of which were free of charge. The view was mesmerizing, the magnificent fort breathtaking. The characteristic houses of Gjirokastra have always been an inspiration to me. The cobbled streets a rare beauty that will remain long in my memories, gave you the feeling of living in the old times. I would recommend anyone to stay at castlefront_villa. I can give easily 10 from 10👍🏻
- Maili (10/5): Super - New opening very nice place in a great location with.amazing view.the room was very comfortable.
