    This was very special as we had a beautiful place to celebrate our friend getting married. The location was great but most importantly the hospitality of our host. They made our Albania trip unforgettable. As a group of girls traveling, we felt...

    Friendly and generous landlady, communication through translator worked quite well. Beautiful old-school room with wood-carvings on furniture. Nice surroundings, although quite far from the city center and quite hard to get to by car. A cosy yard...

    Beautiful room with character. A small complementary bottle of raki in the room was a nice touch. Very nice views from the garden over the valley and the city. Very short walk to the historic centre. Friendly host!

Enea
The house is located in the old city surounded by a lot of trees and is 10 minutes on foot from the old bazzar. The house has all the amanities and is renovated with the same decor that it was constructed in the late 1800 y.
I am an architect and graphic designer. My father and I have taken care for all the details in the house reconstruction as it was before. Me and my family (parents) take care of the guests, nice and sweet people that can help and host anyone.
The neighbourhood is quiet and with fresh air due to the trees surounding the house. From the house you can see a beautiful panorama of the city and the castle too.
