Pros:

This stay was the highlight of our trip to Albania. The room was comfortable, with a strong hot shower and a balcony offering breathtaking mountain views. We loved spending time at the vineyard before dinner, taking countless photos in the beautiful setting.

Dinner at the hotel was outstanding — fresh, delicious, and truly top notch. The hosts were exceptionally kind and attentive, making sure every detail of our stay felt special and memorable.

Cons:

Everything was wonderful.
The only concern is that with such an amazing experience, we expect the rooms will become harder to book in the future!

Ainutlaatuinen viinitilakokemus
Pros:

Upea ja ainutlaatuinen viinitila. Omistajaperhe on lämmin ja erittäin ystävällinen. He ovat rakentaneet tilaa vuosia ja kehittävät sitä jatkuvasti. Huoneet ovat upouudet, näkymä vuorille ja viiniköynnöksille. Omistajat ottavat vieraat vastaan kuin ystävänsä. Suosittelisin täällä käyntiä kaikille. Plussaa myös viinitaisting ja ruoka. Upea kokemus.

Cons:

Kaikki oli kohdillaan.

A true gem for nature lovers and wine drinkers!
Pros:

Incredible spot! Run by a lovely local family. 5 rooms with an area that looks out over the vineyard for breakfast. The room was beautiful with an incredible view of the valley and not far from downtown. Such kind and good people!!

Prachtig mooi en lekker, maar erg warm
Pros:

Super mooie locatie met de liefste en vriendelijkste werknemers. Super goed eten en prima wijntjes.

Cons:

Onze kamer had een airco maar deze verkoelde niet. Het was bloedheet. Hebben in de nacht de deur opengezet naar het balkon toe, maar hierdoor kwamen er veel beetjes en een kat op de kamer. Ook maken de kippen en kalkoen veel geluid waardoor we helaas slecht geslapen hebben.

Een echt aanrader
Pros:

Vooral voor koppels is dit echt een 100% aanrader. Je slaapt op een unieke plek met super gastvrije personeels leden.

Wij hebben hier ook avond gegeten en een wijn proeverij gedaan. Dit was ook echt super leuk.

De kamers zijn splinternieuw en echt heel erg schoon. Al was dit verblijf nog duurder geweest had dit mij niet verbaasd. Prijs kwaliteit is amazing.

Cons:

Niks

Fantastisch landelijk verblijf vlakbij Gjirokastër
Pros:

Wat een prachtige plek en echt vlakbij Gjirokastër! De kamers zijn heel comfortabel, maar dat is "bijzaak", want wow... de ontbijtjes en dinertjes worden met zoveel liefde bereid en geserveerd (alles uit eigen tuin of uit de direkte omgeving). Het uitzicht - tussen de wijnranken door - op de majestueuze bergen is fantastisch. En wat is het heerlijk om gewekt te worden door kippen, kalkoenen en zwaluwen. Dikke aanrader!!!

Cons:

Het afscheid, dat viel zwaar :(

We will stay here again for sure but book a triple or a double room
Pros:

Location, high quality room, the restaurant with wine yard and mountains view., friendly and welcoming host

Cons:

The quadruple room doesn’t have balcony but that can be offset by visiting restaurant.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft war wunderschön mitten im Weingut. Man konnte die Hitze gut im Schatten bei gutem Essen und leckerem Wein aushalten. Wir waren mit unserer 1,5 jährigen Tochter und es blieben keine Wünsche unerfüllt
