Our hosts were absolutely lovely. They do not speak English, but they have a very good grasp of google translate and we managed just fine. They hosts ere very welcoming and gave us beautiful sweet pickled walnuts on arrival, very kind and totally unexpected. The breakfast was amazing, out in the courtyard, very pretty. Our hosts went above and beyond with breakfast, fruit,pastries,eggs,sausage and traditional bread with tomato and cheese. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short due to a family matter. I recommend this villa for both the hospitality and the location.

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.

Without a doubt the best experience we had in Albania. Like getting a super sweet albanian family for a couple of days. The room is very nice and the view is beathtaking. Would recpmmend this to anyone. (sidenote: the mother in the house could open a fancy restaurant with her amazing cooking skills. 10/10)

Everything was fantastic, this is a brand new place on the outskirts of the old town at a great price. it is very beautifully decorated, just perfect. Our hosts were amazing, so helpful. We discovered that the website with bus information was incorrect and they went out of their way to help us. Her husband drove us to bus on his way to work and checked times in bus office for us and her son who works in Sarande found the information for connecting bus to Hirana from Sarande. All Albanian people we met were so lovely and helpful but this family went over and above to help us.

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. The breakfast they offered was incredible, the room was very comfortable and the aircon worked well. Our kids loved playing with the chicks in their garden and their cat. This is a truly authentic homestay - you are literally staying in their house, and the standard and facilities are as expected - a genuine experience. We managed to communicate sufficiently enough via Google translate. The couple's daughter spoke good English and was always available via WhatsApp of we needed any help. We found this to be the best plane we've stayed in Albania! Thank you so much for having us.

    We liked everything! This accommodation is an oasis close to all things important in Gjirokaster. It is a clean, comfortable, modern and well equipped apartment. Great outdoor space with a refreshing pool (a rare thing in Gjirokaster). Really nice breakfast. Lovely hosts. This is where you should stay when visiting beautiful and interesting Gjirokaster.

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.
