⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Unforgettable Stay in a Dream Location! This villa was an absolute gem and truly deserves more than 10 stars! Everything about our stay was exceptional. The location is unbeatable—tucked in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, yet just steps away from the old castle, the local market, and directly across from the historic house of the famous writer Ismail Kadare. Walking through the charming streets felt like stepping into a storybook. The villa itself is stunning—comfortable, beautifully decorated, and full of character. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed with both modern comfort and traditional charm. We especially loved the balcony, where we enjoyed morning coffee with a view and quiet evenings under the stars. One of the highlights was the amazing breakfast—fresh, delicious, and made with local ingredients. It was the perfect start to every day and truly added to the experience. But what really made this stay unforgettable were the fantastic hosts. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel not just like guests, but like part of the family. This villa is perfect for anyone looking to relax, explore, and experience the authentic heart of the town. I can’t wait to return someday. Highly, highly recommended!

A 10 min walk from the castle. The hospitality was top notch! Mimosa made us feel at home. She even upgraded us to a bigger room on arrival. The view outside is nothing short of incredible. Very highly recommended.

Guest House Denis is a fabulous place to stay in a lovely quiet area of the old town about ten minutes walk from the Bazaar. A real home from home atmosphere with comfortable bedroom and en-suite shower room, hair dryer, toiletries, slippers. Without doubt the highlight of our stay was the breakfast on the roof terrace each morning. I doubt you will find a better breakfast anywhere else.

The place is located in the mountains, far away from the city so we enjoyed the nature a lot. The view is amazing, it looks as on the pictures. The room was new and clean. The internet connection was perfect so we could even work. We recommened to take a breakfast and a dinner at the villa because they include a salad, a main dish, a dessert and drinks. They were very tasty and we tried traditional, homemade food. We loved it a lot!!! The owners are amazing and open to answer all your questions about Albania and to recommend where to go. They took care of us and our needs all the time. We took a trip to the monastary with them and it was cool. We liked our staying at the villa a lot! It is very cozy and beautiful😍

We're so happy to be accommodated here. The view is amazing but what is really special is the hospitality of the hosts. The owners are very friendly and helpful, we had some amazing homemade marmalade and a little rakija for the cold weather. I wish we could stay longer and would come back. Thank you for the stay!

    The guesthouse is very beautiful in a great location. Adela is a wonderful host, replies fast and will help you with everything. Breakfast is available for €7 per person which we thought was great. The room was very comfortable and modern, the balcony was beautiful, the airconditioning worked well and the shower pressure was great.

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!
