Matilda was an amazing host! We My husband and I arrived earlier than our designated check-in time, and though Matilda was busy making up the rooms, she invited us in and offered us coffee and homemade raki. We sat on the porch and talked to her brother while enjoying our refreshments (also munching on the fresh traditional cookies her mother had made). Everything after check-in was equally special, from yummy and copious meals (all traditional dishes) to homemade white and red wine. We were sorry to have to leave early for a bus back to Tirana, because it meant missing a final meal on the terrace with views of the castle. But Matilda's husband drove us to the bus-stop (free of charge) and packed a breakfast for us to eat on our trip. Her entire family is kind and hospitable, going out of their way to make your stay comfortable and memorable. We would definitely stay again!!

Owner was really helpful, gave the all the instructions on how to reach and what to see. We were served home made Albanian breakfast which was highlight of our stay. It was delicious and we enjoyed it in the backyard among fruit trees and plants. If you are looking for place to stay in Gjirokaster just choose this one. You will not regret :)

The guesthouse is located in a quiet spot above Gjirokastres bazar (about 10 minutes walking) with a beautiful view upon the castle. The host is really kind and helpful, sent us detailed instructions about how to reach the place, and helped navigate with directions. The house is located on a quite steep and narrow road, and there are a couple of parking spots outside the house. The host speaks great English and communication was always fast and smooth. The room is spacious with tasteful details, cozy and comfortable, facilities and equipment seem new and everything is in perfect condition. The bed is so big and comfy, we really appreciated it! The breakfast (not included, but absolutely worth it!) is soooo delicious! Made with fresh and homemade ingredients, kept us going for the entire day! I would absolutely stay here again, I wish it was longer than 2 nights!

    Amazing view from the balcony, lovely host family, very clean room, new facilities, comfy bed, great value, onsite parking (not on the steep hill which is rare for Gjirokastër!), good location, (about 10 min walk to main area of Old Town (but up hill) and without car/motorbike it might be quite hard from the bus station as also all up hill, but this is the case with the whole of Gjirokastër).
