The host met us in person and showed us around in the 200 year old house. The apartment is full of charm, directly in the old town of Gjirokaster, the view from the balcony is excellent. The kitchen is well-equipped.

Everything... Amazing stay with a warm host and stunning views! The host was super friendly and welcoming—she even offered us extra snacks and raki! The house was spotless, with an incredible view over the city. It's just a short walk to the old city centre and is part of the historical charm of Gjirokastra's traditional houses. Highly recommend!

“A wonderful stay in a beautiful city”
I have no words to describe the beauty of this apartment. I chose the one on the first floor, with a balcony overlooking part of the city and the mountains in front. A traditional stone house, still with its cistern and fireplace, furnished with the original furniture of the home. In a word: stunning and highly recommended. The lady who manages it is very kind and friendly, and even though she doesn't speak English, she makes herself perfectly understood. The house is close to everything, she helps you park right in front, and there's no need to use the car (and believe me, that's a huge plus). A wonderful stay in a beautiful city

“Unique stay in the center of Gjirokaster”
The host, Dhimitra made us feel like home immediately. She was very accommodating and friendly. We bonded immediately and she cared for us for three days. The accommodation is beautiful, well taken care for and unique. It was a pleasure staying at the home of diplomacy!

“A very enjoyable stay in a historic house.”
This was a very historic house in a very central location, close to many of the main sights of the city. The facilities were excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive with our requests and check-in and check-out were very easy.

“Historical stay with beautiful view over the city”
The house has a lot of history and you can feel that in every inch of the building. It is an amazing place with an amazing view. We were welcomed with a bottle of raki and a bottle of cold water in the fridge. That was very pleasant with 38 degrees. The host is very friendly and a very lovely lady. It's close to the old town and the castle.
