Compact bathroom means you could more or less shower while sitting on the toilet. You need to be careful to not get everything wet.

Ability to book short notice. Nice views .

The shower in my room was very inconvenient. Too small and no separation between the toilet and shower at all.

The greatest location in the heart of the old town, a few minutes from all the city attractions, a few minutes walk to the bus station which takes you to the main terminal. Beautiful garden, big room, comfortable bed and an amazing view of the landscapes around from the window. Nice staff and nice breakfast on the terrace. Fair price and a good value.

Our room was close to the main door, so at night sometimes it was a little bit loud.

The location was perfect! The breakfast was really tasty and the staff very nice

Some of the rooms quite small. Couple of rooms where 1 towel short (3 people room with only 2 towles). Had to wait for hot water in the showers. Parkin a car close is bit problematic but we found a free parking lot about 700m along the river and it was not a long walk.

The location was great - just inside the city walls, in close walking distance to everything an not too high up in the mountain. Delicious breakfast what a great view on the balcony. Beds very comfortable. Communication with the property good and stuff very helpful. We left our thigs at the hotel after check out to have a little walk without our lugagge.

- Genuinely kind and friendly host, the two ladies were smiling and willing to help, they welcomed us nicely and offered us some water/juice while they finished preparing the room, since we arrived a little bit earlier than what we had planned. - They spoke Italian so communication was not an issue - The location is perfect in the old town (just have to climb a bit), there is a nice garden and a beautiful terrace with a breath-taking view on the city. - Room was spacious and clean, old-fashioned in a good way - Breakfast was tasty

Parking is not easy to find in the streets (we ended up parking in underground garage few minutes away from the villa for 800 lek/night), however it is the problem of the whole old town, as in any other city.

Nice accommodation in the old town of UNESCO town, right under the castle. Includes wifi, air-conditioning and breakfast made by the lovely homestay lady (who does not speak too much of English, but you can somehow agree with your hands or Italian) on the terrace with the city view.

Parking on the street can be difficult. It would be better to have at least one English speaking person at the time of payment. Breakfast was a bit small

Amazing location and great terrace with a view on the city. The room was very nice and clean

The bathroom was small. You shower next to the toilet and wet the whole bathroom.

We loved the view from the rooftop terrace. The rooms were clean. The location in the old town superb.

We could have brought less luggage as it was quite steeply uphill on rough stone surfaces and steps from the nearest free street parking. Beware the one-way system that's not clear on Google maps!

A wonderful spot with beautiful garden and fabulous views, up a couple of cobbled streets at the lower end of the old town. Great breakfast on a terrace or under fruit trees in the garden. Very comfortable and pleasantly arranged, with friendly non English-speaking staff. We had a very pleasant room with an amazing outlook. We'd totally recommend. We joined a free (i.e. pay what you think) three-hour walking tour, which began close to Villa Elmar and which we'd also recommend

Breakfast can be improved …. But nice homemade

Super cute hotel in the historical city. Nice restaurants around and staff is super polite and helpful. It was a great choice for a overnight in Berat. Recommended.

This is a beautiful villa right at the start of the traditional UNESCO protected neighbourhood of Mangalem. The breakfast area is in full view of the river, the mountain and the city below. A rabit and a couple of tortoises were roaming the small gardens. The lady who owns the place is very welcoming and accommodating. We were able to park freely down on the public street. It is quiet but locationwise it is near to everything in town.

The cutest little gem tucked away in the old town. Great central location and was easy enough to find (especially for Berat). Very clean and comfortable stay, I had everything I could want! Beautiful courtyard/terrace and a breakfast space with the most stunning panorama of Berat old town!

We had a really lovely stay for 4 nights. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and in a great setting on their terrace with arguably one of the best views of Berat.Villa Elmar is rustic and charming and also comfortable. It's beautifully located in the neighbourhood of Mangalem, near the river. We couldn't fault Villa Elmar and if we were return to Berat we would stay here again.

Not a single thing to be disliked. Everything was beyond perfect

Fantastic! Spacious room

Great location, not too far from parking spots to carry all luggages, maybe 200m max. Rooms were very cute, clean and confortable. We loved walking and getting lost in the little streets around the hotel. Easy access to restaurants around by foot. The lady on the spot to welcome us and prepare breakfast was so cute, didn't speak a word of English but we somehow managed to communicate, breakfast on that terrace with a view of the city was so nice, I imagine it being even greater in summer weather. Peaceful hotel, definitely recommend !!

There’s pretty much nothing to dislike here.

It’s a perfect little nest amidst Berat. The center is just a walk away, and all the great restaurants and cafes too. The host was exceptionally good and felt like family. Her home-made style breakfast was filling and she was very helpful with finding our way around the city.
