The older couple running the place was very friendly and attentive. One of our favourite guest houses in Albania.

“Must visit stay”

Really happy to stay here. Grandpa and grandma took good care of us during our stay.

“Excellent location, lovely hosts.”

Property is situated in a very quiet location and quite close to the castle. Our hosts were absolutely fantastic.

“Really homely, clean, incredible hosts and breakfast.”

Extremely clean. Hosts were flawlessly attentive without being overbearing. Breakfast were incredible, with a terrace for eating with unmatched views. Very communicative and helped us to organise transport.

Beautiful view and attentive couple who offered us tea and coffee upon arrival. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the terrace. Conveniently located near the city to allow you to walk to the castle and center town.

Cozy guesthouse with modern bathroom. Great views from the balcony and roof top terrace. Perfectly located for a quick walk to the castle. Lovely hosts and a great breakfast! The hosts let us park in their garage!

“Lovely local hosts. Incredible breakfast and views”

The hosts went above and beyond during our stay and provided us with free filtered water, coffee/tea whenever as well as a fantastic breakfast. The view from the balcony and the rooftop terrace was breathtaking.

“This was the best all round accommodation experience I’ve ever had on my travels.”

I stayed at Guva for 2 nights with my wife and two daughters. Pristine, comfortable rooms. Incredible views from large balconies. Utterly delightful hosts, Islam and Dora, and truly delicious breakfasts with various dishes that enabled us to skip lunch on both days. We also opted for home cooked dinner one night, which was our best meal of our 9 day trip, enjoyed on the roof terrace with breathtaking views. The whole experience of staying at Guva was incredible for all of us, and we could not be more grateful to our exceptional hosts and to their son, based in Tirana, who was really helpful making arrangements for us like booking a taxi to take us to Saranda. Huge thanks. We’d be back like a shot if we ever came to Gjirokaster again.

“Perfect”

The owners of the guest house are very friendly and they made an amazing breakfast for us. The view from the roof top (where we had our breakfast) is stunning ⛰️ The room was clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend to anyone who’s staying in Gjirokaster! ⭐️

“Amazing place to stay, the view takes your breath away”

Everything was just perfect , the view was absolutely stunning and the rooms were fabulous, hosts were wonderful, wish I had booked longer , I could have sat looking at the view for days

The terrace and breakfast were outstanding, rooms super clean and the couple hosting were so cute even though there was a language barrier we made it work!

The location was incredible, beautiful view from the terrace, hosts were so generous and attentive, we couldn’t have asked for more. The breakfast was delicious. Very clean accommodation and chilled filter water provided. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

“Lovely stay in Gjirokastra”

Lovely and quaint guest house in Gjirokastra. From the outside it's traditional but inside everything has been updated and it's very nicely done. Big comfy beds and the balcony looks out to the mountains. The hosts treated us to an Albanian breakfast on the terrace on the roof of the house. It was a very nice way to start the day. It's a bit of a walk to the old part of town but we needed it after the big feast we devoured at dinner. It's quite a magical area, recommend getting out and about at night as the streets in old town are lively and full of restaurants and bars. Definitely recommend visiting Gjirokastra and staying at Guva!

We were welcomed by our lovely hosts and instantly felt at home! The room was really clean and comfortable and all the facilities were brand new. The best shower I’ve had in a long time! But the best part of this place was the incredible view over the valley, it was really special. We got to enjoy the view over a delicious home cooked breakfast on the roof terrace. The property was in a great location just a 15 min walk to the main area and bazaar. The whole town is on a hill so expect some uphill walking to get about! Overall fabulous stay and we’d highly recommend to anyone staying in Gjirokaster!

very good location that can be easily reached even on foot, breakfast was included in the room price, also very tasty. kind hosts and helpful for everything. I recommend it for anyone to enjoy this guesthouse with a magnificent view

“Perfect hosts and perfect atmosphere!!!!!”

The owner are so super friendly and caring. They helped us with our own problem where ever they could. Accommodating people, with a good taste of decoration. The room is cozy and have everything you need. If not just ask. They will bring it you. We ask for a hair dyer. They also give us their own charger. My wish for a veggie breakfast was not a big deal, and also they take care of my allergies. We mostly communicate with Google translate. That worked good, if not they called her daughter. She speaks English. All in all we can recommend the apartment!

Up on the hill, quiet place, view, very close to the center of the old town. Not large but very clean and cozy room. Excellent hosts and an incredibly enormous and quality breakfast

We really liked our room in this guesthouse! The view from the balcony was incredible! The hosts were great, and it was a perfect start for the day to have a big and delicious breakfast on the rooftoop with a view to the surrounding mountains. The room was clean, well equipped and quiet.There's also a possibility to park there (although the garage can only fit one car) and it is easy to find it. I can highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to stay close to the center (the castle is around 10 mins on foot from there) in a comfortable accomodation.

Excellent host , amazing breakfast and great stay
