“The best hotel, restaurant, swimming pool in Albania. Far from the touristic crowds.”
This was without any doubt the best hotel we stayed in during our 2 weeks in Albania : excellent hotel in pure nature surroundings, fantastic view, totally quiet, very friendly staff, delicious food, 25m swimming pool and plenty of sun beds, 10 minutes by car to the sea and beaches, 30 minutes to the gorgeous nature reserve Divjakë-Karavasta. Excellent price. Congratulations to all the staff for making use feel totally happy and relaxed at your place.

“A perfect escape in a stunning rural setting”
We had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful rural landscape, and it was truly a serene getaway. From our room and the expansive pool area, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the distant sea and the rolling hills of the Albanian countryside, dotted with olive trees. The setting is simply magical. The hotel grounds are charming, with lovely pavilions where guests can enjoy meals in the open air. The pool is impressively large and deep, offering a great spot to relax and take in the surroundings. While the rooms are basic, as mentioned in other reviews, they are more than adequate for a comfortable stay. With such a stunning environment, spending time indoors almost feels like a waste. The real highlight, however, is the food. Breakfast was good, but the dinner was exceptional—easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The hotel is run by an incredibly welcoming family, whose hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warmth and care added to the overall experience, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, disconnect from the hustle and bustle, and simply enjoy the peace and each other’s company, this hotel is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

“Hidden gem with lots of animals and a throw away from the seaside”
This is a lovely oasis, not far away from the coast. The staff and all the animals (dogs, bunnies, horses, birds) made our stay really special. The pool is amazing and very relaxing. We need a bit of a break from the beach and cities and this was perfect. Our three-year old stated at the end of our stay: "I never want to leave here." That about sums it up. It's run by an Italian-Albanian young couple who went way out of their way to make our stay very unique and as relaxing as possible.

“Superb stay with all the comfort in a beautiful place”
Surrounded by pure nature, this place is a hidden gem near the natural park and (10 minutes by car) a sandy beach. Our kids loved the animales inside the hotel garden - turtles, rabbits and doves. We also enjoyed the big pool. The staff is very helpful, eg. they washed our clothes for us and prepared a tasty breakfast.

“Hidden gem, most ideal first stop in Albania”
Love, love, looooove!!! 12/10 would recommend. Located just one hour from the airport, Kodra e Godenve is the ideal first stop on an Albanian (road) trip. The owners, a young but very warm and hard-working couple, have a passion for hospitality and made the resort their lives work. You feel the love in everything, from the obvious to subtle design choices to the delicious homemade, all biological meals (don't worry, they also serve meat and fish :-). The resort suddenly arises amidst beautiful nature, 2mins from nearby (mini) lake and nice hills to roam and just 35mins from Parku Kombetar (be sure to take the lagune boat trip!). As the hotel is a perfect mix of majesty, grandure and cosyness, surrounded by a beautiful garden we never would gave guessed that the owners actually build it theirselves! I wanted to add pictures, but the function keeps crashing. I guess you have to go see for yourselves :-)
