The property was in a perfect location very close to the castle and the Bazaar. Our room was perfectly equipped and had a balcony with a great view of the town and the mountains. The host was so welcoming and friendly and served the most delicious breakfast for us during our stay. Would really recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Gjirokaster!

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. The breakfast they offered was incredible, the room was very comfortable and the aircon worked well. Our kids loved playing with the chicks in their garden and their cat. This is a truly authentic homestay - you are literally staying in their house, and the standard and facilities are as expected - a genuine experience. We managed to communicate sufficiently enough via Google translate. The couple's daughter spoke good English and was always available via WhatsApp of we needed any help. We found this to be the best plane we've stayed in Albania! Thank you so much for having us.

Even though we only stayed for one night, it was hard to no notice the good service! Joana was helpful from the start with a good guide to get ourself to the hotel and also flexible with check-in. When we arrived she recommended a great family owned restaurant at a wineyard close 15 min car drive from the guesthouse. She also had a friend that could drive us there so we could enjoy wine there. So happy she recommended that one - it was amazing food and atmosphere! The hotel has a beautiful view, great location to get to the bazaar. The breakfast was amazing and just all in all a great visit! Room was big and with a balcony also showing the stunning view.

This is a gorgeous place and a lovely property. Adelle (not sure about the spelling, so apologies in advance) was fabulous and super responsive. She even guided us "live" through town over the phone to reach the property. Lovely family and amazing kindness. They helped with everything we needed. The area is quiet and peaceful. You are in the right place to explore also the aqueduct or to go to the higher part of the city (you are already pretty high). And the view over the castle is fabulous. There are parking spots in the house itself and outside (we parked outside, as we were not going to move the car for a couple of days). It's truly on top, so get ready for some ramps! We enjoyed our weekend in Gijokaster A LOT!

    We liked everything! This accommodation is an oasis close to all things important in Gjirokaster. It is a clean, comfortable, modern and well equipped apartment. Great outdoor space with a refreshing pool (a rare thing in Gjirokaster). Really nice breakfast. Lovely hosts. This is where you should stay when visiting beautiful and interesting Gjirokaster.

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.
