A pleasant stay, comfortable room. Considering the facilities typical of Albanian villages, this one is of a very high standard. Comfortable beds; unfortunately, the pillow wasn't to my liking, but that's a minor detail.

“Fantastic setting and breakfast, but maintainence and cleanliness issues”
The setting was stunning! The old stone house surrounded by mountains and the beautiful grounds where we took breakfast and dined one evening were incredible. Breakfast was excellent with very tasty homemade products. The staff especially Mario and Joni were really friendly and chatty and there was an overall lovely vibe around the villa.

Such a charming place perfectly situated 5min away from the little busy center of Theth. There is a beautiful garden with views all over the mountains.
