Boasting mountain views, Villa EM features accommodation with patio, around 45 km from Zaravina lake. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The best experience we’ve had in Albania like staying in a 5-star hotel! The Villa is run by two wonderful grandparents, Paraskevi and Kastriot, the true image of Albanian hospitality and kindness. We left with our hearts full of love, as if we had been staying at our own grandparents’ home. The room was incredibly clean, modern, and carefully decorated, you could even smell the freshness as soon as you opened the door. Breakfast was 5-star quality, generous and delicious. We had such a nice conversation in the evening, and they even invited us to share a homemade cake (the best ever!). If there were a 20/10 rating, we would gladly give it to this experience. Thank you so much, faleminderit, and we hope to see you again soon!

Featuring a terrace and views of mountain, Guest House Emily is a recently renovated guest house located in Gjirokastër, 44 km from Zaravina lake. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features family rooms. Everything!!! This was the best place we stayed in all of Albania for several reasons. The guesthouse itself is small and cozy. The location is unbeatable: less than 10 minutes walk to the bazaar and other sights, and very quiet. The restaurant across the street is almost an extension of the guesthouse and the staff there are welcoming and the food is good. The room itself was very small but that’s okay because we only slept there- most time was spent around Gjirokaster or on the terrace. The room and property is immaculately clean, and has one of the best showers I’ve ever had. The real highlights were the terrace and the hosts. That terrace with the view, shade, breeze, and smell of flowers is my happy place. Perfect for reading, relaxing, or having a drink outside. Mimosa and Pandeli are the most gracious, generous, kind, fun, hosts!!! We had so much fun using Google translation and pantomiming to have conversations. Mimosa was kind enough to bring us fresh fruit and salad on the hottest of days. Truly amazing people. Hope to see them again soon!!

Located in Gjirokastër, Manga guesthouse is 45 km from Zaravina lake. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

Fitted with a terrace, the units offer air conditioning and feature a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower and slippers. At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. What a place to stay, me and my partner stayed here for a night while travelling around Albania, we were greeted by the lady who ran the place, she was so friendly and such a amazing host and really tried to make us have the best stay possible even tho she speaks little English. The room was so lovely and I have to say I don’t think you can get a better spot with only 5 min walk into the Center, but far enough out to get a peaceful night sleep. The breakfast was so yummy and by far the best one we have had. Would recommend to anyone who is travelling around and couples any day of the week

Situated in Gjirokastër and only 43 km from Zaravina lake, Guest House AmaDes features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house has family rooms. My stay at Guest House AmaDes was truly unforgettable, thanks to the extraordinary hospitality extended by Behdzet and his family. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a special atmosphere on the terrace, overlooking the picturesque landscape of Gjirokastër. We were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink and genuine smiles that instantly made us feel at home. To our delight, Behdzet's mother graciously prepared spinach burek for us, a delicious traditional dish, for dinner. It was a heartwarming gesture that added a personal touch to our experience and left a lasting impression. The apartment itself was nothing short of spectacular. Every detail exuded elegance and charm, with modern amenities seamlessly integrated into the stylish decor. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, adorned with soft, luxurious bedding that ensured a restful night's sleep. Without a doubt, Guest House AmaDes is a place I yearn to revisit. The combination of unparalleled hospitality, breathtaking views, and exquisite accommodations creates an oasis of tranquility that beckons me back time and time again.
