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 :-)

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.

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! 😊

Fantastisch verblijf tussen de wijngaarden
Pros:

Wat een fantastische plek! The Barrels ligt prachtig midden in de wijngaard en is een heerlijke en bijzondere plek om te verblijven. De host is ontzettend vriendelijk en doet er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. Niets is te veel.

De kamers zijn ruim, modern en zeer schoon. Het bed ligt heerlijk en de douche is fantastisch. Wij hebben beide avonden in de accommodatie gegeten en dat was een geweldige ervaring. Het eten was niet alleen erg lekker, maar ook de setting tussen de wijngaarden maakte het extra bijzonder.

Ook het ontbijt is zeer uitgebreid en er is volop keuze. Echt een perfecte start van de dag.

Met de auto ben je binnen ongeveer 10 minuten in het centrum van Gjirokastër. Daar is een goede parkeerplaats, waardoor je de stad gemakkelijk kunt bezoeken. Gjirokastër was voor ons trouwens een van de mooiste plekken die we tijdens onze reis door Albanië hebben bezocht.

Een absolute aanrader voor wie rust, gastvrijheid, comfort en een bijzondere locatie zoekt. Wij hebben hier ontzettend genoten!

Estancia con encanto para repetir
Pros:

Es un alojamiento en un entorno muy bonito, en unos viñedos, alojamiento nuevo muy bien cuidado y con todas las comodidades. El trato de los dueños del hotel es inmejorable: son atentos, siempre intentando facilitar, muy cercanos. Desayunos abundantes y merece la pena comer o cenar en el hotel ! El vino que hacen muy bueno también. La relación calidad precio es muy buena.

Cons:

Nada, nos gustó todo

Wir empfehlen 2 Tage zu bleiben! Fantastische Gastgeber an einem wunderschönen , ruhigen Fleck in Albanien.
Pros:

Die Gastgeber waren von Anfang bis Ende unseres Aufenthalts herzlich. Die Lage ist super ruhig und man kann sich perfekt entspannen. Falls man etwas mehr Entertainment möchte, braucht man keine 10 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Gjirokastar. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls super! Zum Abschied gab es sogar noch Tipps, für unsere nächsten Stopps! Man hatte das Gefühl, dass man nicht nur einfach irgendein Gast ist, sondern dass man eine persönliche Bindung zu den Gastgebern hat.

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.
