Pata nje qendrim rastesor rruges berat - gjirokaster tek vila sofia gllave. Packa pak problematikave ne rrugen nen rikonstruksion, kalimi i kohes ne qetesine absolute ishte rigjenerues. Çmimet janë shumë të arsyeshme, mikpritja e pronarëve ishte e jashtëzakonshme dhe më bënë të ndihesha si në shtëpi. Komunikim profesional dhe ushqime cilesore. E rekomandoj me gjithë zemër për këdo që kërkon një pushim relaksues në natyrë.

The road was very bad to drive The swimming pool is not nearby the hotel but down the road 10 min by car, toilets over there we’re very dirty. Owner is very Nice an friendly person who wants to have his quests to be comfortabel. We planned yo hike but there was no route available So we skipped that plan

The place is amaizing. Far away from the civilization. Great place to charge your batery in quiete enviroment and great food. Frendly staff and warm owner. The best to get there is to have higher suspended car (like small SUV or similar) then you are independent because right now roads are 70% low quality asfalt 30% gravel. 2km from Sofia on top owner have a swimming pool which is free of charge and this place is even more magic. If you like beeing outside The civilization this is the place for you. And the view from rooms are amayzing!!!

We are very happy to find this place. Very tasty food, the best traditional breakfest. We met a lot of friendly, kind and helpful people here. This is unusual place with a lot of facilities, you can do nothing and joy of the nature and silence, but if you want to have an activity you will have a lot. Children will also find something to do. There are a playground, swiming pool, playing room with billiard, tennis, darts , etc. Many people have written about great hospitality, I can only confirm that you will feel like a welcome guest. But better you should try it by yourself. This place left a lot of great impressions, it was one of the best holidays ever!

Great stay if you want to spend a few days away from the touristic places. You’ll be driving through small mountain roads with gravel, so a 4x4 is recommended (but not absolutely necessary). The staff is super friendly and food is great. But don’t expect a 5* resort - this is a very nice family run accommodation.

“The wholes experience was pure excellence. Lovely!”
The property was excellent. Very tidy and clean. Great views of the mountains in seeing both the sunset and the sunrise. The hotel staff were extremely kind, we ran out of fuel and they kindly provided us with fuel and went out of their way to do so as the hotel is not located close to a petrol station. They also took us to the top of the mountain where we had an uninterrupted view of the sunsetting behind the mountain range. One of the highlights of our trip. The food was incredible and plenty of it.

“We were there for the first time and found something very impressive.”
It was very good traditional breakfast and very good geographical position; we can see 360 views direction thanks to the height position that the hotel located.

“I booked this stay when I did a tour around Albania and I was ideal.”
Everything was perfect for our stop in the mountains, the diner and breakfast and the coffee were great. The staff was very friendly ans entertaining. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed/matrass was the best of our 5 stays in Albania! If I ever go back, I will stop here again.

“Must be explored.”
The most special parts of my stayment was service (they were attentive to anything you ask) and quality of food (local products). Rooms were with comfortable beds, and all others furniture that you may need.

A wonderful place with a history, which is located in the mountains among pine forests. National dishes, a dog, very hospitable and sociable hosts, fresh air, beautiful views. What else do you need to relax?
