Wonderful view from the terrace shadowed by old grape leaves. Breakfast with homemade pancakes and fresh fruit. The room was spacious and perfectly clean. The owner was not there but her lovely mom welcomed us and cooked for us. Free parking at street level. The house is above the stairs a little further.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Unforgettable Stay in a Dream Location! This villa was an absolute gem and truly deserves more than 10 stars! Everything about our stay was exceptional. The location is unbeatable—tucked in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, yet just steps away from the old castle, the local market, and directly across from the historic house of the famous writer Ismail Kadare. Walking through the charming streets felt like stepping into a storybook. The villa itself is stunning—comfortable, beautifully decorated, and full of character. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed with both modern comfort and traditional charm. We especially loved the balcony, where we enjoyed morning coffee with a view and quiet evenings under the stars. One of the highlights was the amazing breakfast—fresh, delicious, and made with local ingredients. It was the perfect start to every day and truly added to the experience. But what really made this stay unforgettable were the fantastic hosts. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel not just like guests, but like part of the family. This villa is perfect for anyone looking to relax, explore, and experience the authentic heart of the town. I can’t wait to return someday. Highly, highly recommended!

Very centric, Sofia is lovely she helped us find the guest house, wrote in advance and even called. Breakfast was was great. The room looks very nice and new. The room has more than enough space for two people and the bathroom is also very spacious. Good mini fridge that actually cools beverages. You can drink tap water in the city. The AC was also pretty nice compared to others we experienced around.
