Pros:

Ländlich, viele Tiere, die teilweise mitten im Geschehen waren, sehr schön. Sehr nettes, fürsorgliches Personal, vor allem Ada. Leckeres Frühstück, mit Ausblick auf die Weinstöcke und vielen Hühnern.🐔🐣

Cons:

Die Unterkunft kann nichts dafür, aber zweimal in der Nacht und auch am Morgen, war Stromausfall.

Gem of a find with extras you don't expect
Pros:

A beautiful gem, a little out of the town, but quiet and has everything you need. Rooms are very spacious. The hosts were so accommodating. It still feels very new and super clean. You can sit among the vines eating dinner and tasting their wines whilst the chickens, cats and dogs share their space with you. Figs and apples literally growing above you and served to you for breakfast (which is included). Such great value

Cons:

If I have to find something, the fan in the bathroom was very loud in our room, and you couldn't turn it on separately. That did not ruin our trip or rating though. 😊

A must visit in Albania - one of the best stays of your life
Pros:

One of the best accommodations I've ever stayed at in my entire life! The Barrels was recommended by a friend—it wasn't even in our original plans, but we decided to give up an extra night in Himare to experience the vineyard, the restaurant, and stay there, and it was incredible! Esmeralda welcomed us so warmly, making us feel right at home. The food at the restaurant is amazing, and I highly recommend doing the wine tasting. The accommodations are top-notch—simply amazing! The value for money is easily a 1000/10. Since the hotel is located on a farm-like property, you can hear the peaceful sounds of the countryside at night, which is super relaxing. We will definitely be back to have another glass of wine and another shot of Raki with Esmeralda. Make sure to visit this place!

Gorgeous setting and room, a whole host of animals on site.
Pros:

Lovely setting, beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean, friendly staff

Cons:

It’s expensive compared to other places we stayed in Albania. The food was just ok, we didn’t eat it all. We had better local food at other locations.

Top Unterkunft in der Nähe vom Gjirokaster
Pros:

Das Agritourismus ist einfach top. Die Gastgeber kümmern hervorragend um die Gäste, mit Witz und Charme. Die Tische zwischen den Reben sind spitze. Für das Abendessen hat es eine kleine Karte und für uns gab es jeden Morgen ein leicht anderes Frückstück.

Cons:

Wer nicht gerne Tiere mag, ist hier falsch. Hühner, Hunde und Katzen laufen frei herum. Uns hat das Gefallen :-)

Amazing hosts, super clean and comfortable.
Pros:

We stayed here for one night and did the wine tasting experience. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. What made our stay even more amazing was the staff. The hosts were so very kind and friendly. We had a great laugh with one of the women who served us most of the night. It made our stay even better! This experience will definitely be one we won't ever forget. Thank you so much! 😊

Pros:

The hotel is absolutely lovely, and staying there was such a special experience. We got to enjoy the beautiful sunset from the hotel and had a lovely breakfast in the morning. One of the highlights was getting to taste their delicious homemade food and wine, all grown and produced on the farm itself. Everything was so fresh and flavorful! The host was incredibly sweet, warm, and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying here

Beautiful surroundings and very welcoming people.
Pros:

Beautiful location and great owners. We were running late and lady at the property waited for us to arrive and greeted even with some food and also big water bottle. That was so sweet. Smooth and quick check in and check out. Very welcoming owners.

Cons:

I think we were slightly disappointed with the breakfast but that is okay, they did their best. Grabbed some grapes from our balcony and tummy was full.
