It was a very nice stay, the host Edmond, was the kindest. We had one night, but could have used one more. The breakfast was lovely on the rooftop with a good view. I recommend it 10 out of 10!

A absolute highlight of our trip to Albania! 100% recommend!

We had the most amazing stay here, it was honestly one of our absolute favorites in Albania! The location is perfect, the facilities are excellent and the rooms are incredibly clean. On top of that, the service is just incredible. Every morning started with an unbelievably delicious breakfast and the pool area is the perfect spot to just unwind and relax. What made this stay truly special, though, was the family. They are so incredibly helpful, warm, and attentive. They make you feel right at home from the very first second. You can really feel how much love and passion they put into hosting. We loved every moment and can highly recommend this place to everyone!

excellent all around - Edmond and his family were great. The breakfast was amazing and we also had dinner there one evening with lovely local home cooked food and fantastic views from the balcony. The pool area also has amazing views over the town. Edmond also provided excellent directions for driving to the accommodation (which due to the very narrow streets is very difficult to reach if you follow the "normal" google maps route)

Wonderful family run guesthouse

We felt more like house guests than customers, the owners and their family gave a five star service and a breakfast like no other.

Fabulous views, lovely breakfast

Our second time here, just as good, great breakfast with fabulous view, Edmund is a lovely host who will even park your car for you. There is even a swimming pool now! An easy 5 minute walk to the bazaar with a short steep climb to the hotel coming back, hence the view.

A Wonderful Stay

The guesthouse was old world charm. The breakfast was traditional, plentiful and yummy The location was excellent looking down to the city centre but away from the crowds. So quite and calm. And just 5 minutes to Market Bazaar, a lively place with excellent restaurants. Try Libraria, so good. The Ethological Museum, a couple of minutes away, is a must. Best of all was the owner, Edmond and his family. So very kind.

Amazing hosts! Really went above and beyond! My friend and I caught a bus from Sarandë and arrived unsure of how to get to the guesthouse so we called the phone number connected to the accomodation and they even came to take us there, the hosts are so incredibly kind hearted and genuine. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! And the view, wow! We had a cute balcony with a sensational view, complete with a little swing chair. The breakfast was also really good and was a great start to the day, and also with an amazing view.
