Pros:

El mejor hotel en el que hemos estado en Albania. Está situado en las afueras del pueblo de Gjirokastër, tan solo a 10 minutos en coche, pero lo suficientemente lejos como para poder disfrutar de la tranquilidad de la zona.
El hotel tiene un diseño moderno que nos encantó. Además, la habitación era espaciosa y estaba muy limpia.
La zona del restaurante está ubicada en un entorno idílico, rodeada de viñedos a partir de los cuales hacen su propio vino que tenéis que probar sí o sí. El desayuno es espectacular, con productos locales que están deliciosos. También probamos el restaurante para cenar y la comida es casera y está buenísima (mención especial al cordero).
Pero sin duda, lo mejor de todo, la atención del personal. Fueron increíblemente agradables y serviciales, nos dio mucha pena dejar el alojamiento.

LOVED IT
Pros:

What’s not to love about The Barrels? Staff is absolutely lovely, so kind and accommodating. We were almost adopted, offered to come back next year or even stay forever and work with them. We laughed to much and felt so welcome.
The location and area is beautiful. Imagine sipping their wine while sitting in the actual vineyard! Are you in the middle of Gjirokaster? No. Does it matter? Not at all. It’s a short drive to town.
The food was great, simple but well made and very tasty. And the breakfast was an abundance of food, all made with love and attention.
The room was stunning, it all still looks brand new. It was dark and quiet with a great bed and lots of space. It felt very private and the view was top tier.

Cons:

We loved EVERYTHING.

Great place!
Pros:

Staff were amazing and Vineyard was absolutely beautiful! It was perfect for getting away from the local town but also very convenient to get to if you have a car. Great price too!

Cons:

My fault for not checking, but we had a room which didn’t have any balcony and the windows were very small which was sad given how beautiful the vineyard is

oasi di pace immersa nella natura
Pros:

Le stanze sono nuove, spaziose, profumate e ben arredate. La struttura in generale lo è.
La parte esterna è bellissima, piena di alberi da frutto, filari di vite e polli. Personale davvero super cordiale e ospitale.
Super consigliato anche il ristorante che è eccezionale.
C’è un ampio parcheggio gratuito dove si può lasciare l’auto.

The Barrels is truly a place of its own 🍀
Pros:

A beautiful hotel set in a lovely winery, with a great restaurant and a wonderful team. The staff were funny, welcoming, and had such a unique personality — in the best possible way. The kind of people who make your stay even more memorable.

We loved the surroundings, the food, the wine, and the relaxed atmosphere. A place with so much personality. Highly recommend! 🤍

Pros:

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful vineyard. The rooms were lovely, comfortable, and had great air conditioning, which was especially appreciated. We also had dinner at the hotel and everything was absolutely delicious and wonderful.

What really made our stay special were the owners. They personally take care of the guests and were incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. They made us feel at home from the very first moment.

A truly special place with amazing hospitality. We would absolutely recommend it and would love to come back!

Posto del cuore
Pros:

Di questa struttura abbiamo amato tutto. A partire dalla calorosa accoglienza di Esmeralda che ci ha fatti sentire subito a casa. Le stanze sono ampie e ben arredate con letti molto comodi. La location si trova accanto alle vigne di famiglia in una zona molto appartata e lontano dal caos. Abbiamo scelto di fare la degustazione dei vini prodotti da loro (2 bianchi e 3 rossi) e di mangiare presso il loro ristorante. I tavoli si trovano dentro la vigna.
