“Lovely guesthouse in a fabulous historic town”
Fabulous old building in the historic centre. A lot of effort has gone into creating guest rooms with some style and comfort. The breakfast on the upper terrace with magnificent views of both the mountains and castle was a delight. We stayed two nights to have time to properly discover Gjirokaster which is a jewel in Albania’s crown. The castle is fantastic.

The room is comfortable and nicely decorated. Location is right next to the center with some attractions like Skenduli house nearby, but not in the middle of the bazaar, so it's quiet. The terrace is lovely and the breakfast is amazing!

“Warm Hospitality in the Heart of Gjirokastër”
We had a wonderful stay at this homestay near the Old Bazaar in Gjirokastër. The location was perfect — everything was nearby and easy to explore on foot. The family was incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. We initially had trouble finding the place, and they personally came to guide us and helped us drive to the property, which we really appreciated. They made us feel completely at home, more like staying with family than at a hotel. The breakfast on the terrace with the beautiful castle view was absolutely amazing and made our mornings even more special. Their hospitality was truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gjirokastër!

“Wonderful homestay in the old town”
10/10 just for the hospitality. Such a very friendly family. You will be welcomed with a big smile and depart with a hug. Small, cozy room. In the heart of old town but calm and quiet. Easy parking in a small side street. Breakfast is filling- doughnut/pancakes are delicious with fresh jam.

The hosts were truly lovely and welcoming. The attic room is decorated with great care and attention to detail, giving it a cosy, homelike feel. The house is located in the heart of the old town, surrounded by breathtaking views and stunning architecture. It was my favourite place to stay in Albania.
