What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

We found this guesthouse while driving to Gjirokastra and it was the highlight of our Albania trip. Swimming in the Vjosa River is a 15-minute walk away. Amazing value, amazing hosts.

The rooms are clean and well-kept, the garden is lovely, and the views from the balcony are absolutely stunning. Lindita cooked us dinner with local ingredients — one of the best meals of our trip.

This is what travel should be — staying with a real family, sharing their food and their home. The wooden ceiling room is beautiful and the mountain air is so fresh. Homemade wine on the balcony was unforgettable.

★★★★★

Quiet hilltop location, walking distance to Tepelenë town center, and just 20 minutes by bus to Gjirokastra. Lindita gave us great tips and Avni offered to take us hiking. Would return anytime.

Lindita welcomed us like family. The balcony views of the Vjosa River are breathtaking — we spent every evening there with homemade raki. Breakfast was fresh bread, local cheese, and goat milk. A truly special experience.
