Because of a misunderstanding, Natasha and her husband had to wait for us about an hour. Nonetheless, they were so friendly when we finally arrived. The apartment is simply amazing, very modern and extremely clean. They also offered us to drive us to the airport (at 2 o´clock at night), and so they did. It´s a perfect stay in Tirana! Thank you again :-)

Amelas appartement definitly was the cleanest place we've ever been in our holidays. She and her mother were so helpful and warm-heartet! The appartement lyes next to a very hip part of the town and we could visit all the nice places by foot. We will come back for sure:-)

Amela was great, she met us outside and walked us up. She gave us a terrific list of places to see and where to eat (they were all terrific). Despite us arriving an hour late, she was patient and understanding. The place itself was also great -perfect location, clean, all the amenities. We would not hesitate to stay with her again, great experience!

Natasha gave us great directions to meet her and a lovely warm welcome. The flat was bright and airy, cool design and spotlessly clean. We loved it. It is in the perfect location for exploring Tirana: very central but just off a lovely, tree-lined street. Natasha gave us recommendations for restaurants and areas to explore and couldn't have been more helpful. We hope to visit again and would be thrilled if we could stay at this flat.

Amela was super helpful, friendly, and an all around great host! The apartment is exactly as described and was a great place to stay in Tirana. Thanks again!

We had a good time at Amelas place, it is extremely central and clean. Amela did everything to make us feel comfortable.

Amela was more than welcoming as a host! The place is a great location and exactly what the place looked like in the images. She even had water ready for us when we arrived. She had great recommendations for places to try in Tirana and was more than helpful in answering all my questions in a quick manner. Highly recommend!

Great location (a leisurely 10 minute walk from the airport bus stop) and clean clean clean! The apartment is just a few meters from a fabulous shopping street, so you are right in the middle of the action, but that tiny buffer zone means that it is not noisy. The other neighbors in the building were also very quiet. Everything worked, and it was very spacious with just two of us. We did some laundry, and there is a clothes line off the balcony that had plenty of room for our "smalls". All the basics for simple self catering: good-sized fridge, two efficient electric burners, a couple of pots and skillets, utensils, dishes, cutlery, etc. Amela answered every e-mail within minutes, and was always available by phone. When we arrived, her lovely mom was there in a couple of minutes to let us in and show us around. They even had some bottled water chilling in the fridge for us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! P.S. This one wins our airbnb "Best Towels" award :)

6 of us rented the entire Villa Amantia for 2 nights June 25-27. Hanne was not present during our stay but she was very quick to respond to any inquires prior to going. She also sent a very detailed and helpful info pack before arriving. The house was simply gorgeous!! Everything right down to the furnishings and smallest decorations were very beautifully stylized and well thought out. We felt like we were living in a castle, which was exactly what the photos look like. It definitely did not disappoint! Beds were great, each room with it's own sitting area. The kitchen was big with a large dinning area. The view of the sunset was spectacular. And you have many balconies to see it from! Ermal was waiting for us upon arrival to let us in. Jimmy is a man who lives near and looks after the property. He was available and helpful should we need anything. The town is very small, as was expected. A 10min drive down to Vlore. To get to the villa we drove south along the coast up from Sarande and it was QUITE the drive. Not for the faint of heart as we had to literally go UP a mountain and back down. Needless to say, we took the interior autobahn on the way back down to Sarande. Overall would recommend staying here if you are in the area. It would be great for a large group. We only had 6 but could have comfortably fit 10. Thanks Hanne!

It was a very nice stay in Vila Amantia as it is descripted in the inserat. The view is very beautiful and the vila is a very special place to stay which is hard to find some where else. Ermal, the local contact, was very flexible and showed us every thing in the villa.

This is a beautiful property, well loved and maintained and managed in a tucked corner of southern Albania. Hanne and Hans were exemplary in guest services, answering every question and suggesting how best to maximize a visit not just to Vila Amantia but also to Albania. Multiple check ups a day from Xhimi and consistent long distance contact made for a thoughtful, caring, but not intrusive visit. Despite not being the best guest I fear, losing a set of keys on my first day as well as messing up the calendar, Hanne and Hans and their Vila Amantia team went above and beyond to make sure I was welcome. Thank you, thank you! Recommended property for an off-beat or under-the-radar getaway but with tele-connections to the world; hiking; soul-searching; view-gazing; relaxation; in short, a lot of the reasons any of us go to get away. Again, this property is very well cared-for.

It was a great pleasure to be there. The house was itself fantastic, it was a great antique look and i really appreciated the nature . I met the father of Hanne a great guy, we had discussions over dinner and wine. Before leaving i just realized that my car had a problem with its oil, Hans (father of Hanne) sent me to the city and back, which i appreciate allot.

We immediately felt at home in Vila Amantia and would go there any time again! During our stay, the house owner was present and could give us "first-hand" information about the Albanian culture and the surrounding of the house.

So dreamy! The listing description is definitely accurate, yes- it is as good as it looks. Everything you need is here. Great view, well equipped kitchen for cooking to eat in the beautiful garden. Safe area in a small mountain village, and a 15 minute mountain drive to the city. Wifi, hot showers, laundry facilities, beautiful decor and spacious rooms. It's hard to believe a place like this exists! Really just perfect. The local contact always replied quickly when I messaged him, and it is just a beautiful amazing relaxing place. It's a trip back to the slow, healthy Mediterranean mountain life. Only "downside", electricity can sometimes go out, but this is inherent to the area (not the property) and it usually comes back on within an hour or two so nothing to worry about :) Overall, a flawless property and experience.

A wonderfully relaxing stay in the beautiful mountain hideaway of Vila Amantia. We loved the incredibly peaceful surroundings, the stunning villa itself, and being within easy reach of Vlore. Hanne gave us lots of useful information before our trip, and our contact person Ermal was very friendly and helpful while we were there. Such a peaceful and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

I stayed with a friend at Vila Amantia for three days and we absolutely loved it. It is a beautiful house with lovely rooms. The view is great and the area is very peaceful - great for relaxing. It was very easy to communicate with Hanne and she always responded very quickly. We can highly recommend to stay at Vila Amantia and we would definitely stay there again!

Kristi's brother, Dorian was our host. He was very attentive and was keen to make sure everything was okay. The apartment was beautiful and has an amazing view over the valley. It's in a great location in the old town and is a great place to relax and unwind as there's plenty of space and all the local restaurants and cafes are really near by. While we were there we drove to the waterfalls in the mountains which were really worth seeing too.

Dorian, Kristi's brother, hosted us and was lovely from start to end. He offered, kindly, to pick us up from the Macedonian border and eventually drove us to Gjirokaster - all at very reasonable arrangements! :) He was warm, gentle and kind - one of the best hosts we've had on our holiday! The apartment itself is very lovely and had great views out into the city. Furthermore, the apartment itself is very spacious and is well-equipped with wifi, television, digital cable and even a bar area for a quiet drink or two. Buy Dori's shot glasses as well for memory's sake! :)

Great spot in a Unesco building! Was cool to stay here, with a balcony overlooking Berat. Walking distance to restaurants and cafes. Would stay here again, and recommend it for others looking for a unique place to stay . Everything from check in to check out was great .

We had a great, eventhough it was short time in Berat. Kristi her brother, Dorian who takes cares for the house picked us up (300lek), so that was geat. He also helpen us with planning where to go next. The place is realy great a must stay if you are in Berat!!

The house in Berat is just magnificent. It is exactly as described, and even better in real life than in the pictures. It is located right in the middle of the great Mangalemi neighborhood which is a must see in Albania anyway ;-) Kristi, Dorian and their Dad, which we all met at some point of our stay were all very friendly and helpful, we coldn't have wished for better hosts. I would really recommend staying here if you ever get to Berat.

For anyone staying in Berat, I highly recommend Kristi and her brother Dorian's museum house. They both were very helpful and communicative regarding directions and recommendations on what to do and see in Berat. It's a beautifully restored, historic home and a comfortable place to stay. I had an great stay and would definitely choose their place again! Also, the wine from their family vineyard is excellent;)

Excellent communication and very lovely host. Dori welcomed us at the apartment and gave us some great information about the place. We walked from the bus station (about 35 minutes). The view is amazing and I hadn't realised before we got there that we were actually staying in one of the places that was part of the 1000 windows!! Everything is in close proximity. We arrived during a colder part of the year, so use of the balcony wasn't as appealing once the sun went down. The bathroom/shower is outside the front door, so going for a shower or to use the toilet in the cold wasn't a fun experience. The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. Overall a pleasant stay and Dori is a very nice host!

Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped historic house with fabulous balcony and views. a little bit special! Kristi was a friendly and responsive host. Kristi's brother Dorian did everything he could to help us. We stayed quite a few days so we were able to explore the locality around Berat as well as the town itself. If you have time we recommend this. In addition to the information In the other reviews we recommend the Saturday market and a walk along the ridge from local village of Drobonik to the Gorica castle remains.

Very good location close to the center and Natascha was extremely friendly and helpful when we struggled to find where the buses left from. The stove is quite small and not suited for larger cooking snit suited us fine.

Amela is a great person. We loved her place. He took good care of us from the arrival. Her place is very easy to find (next to Vodafone, you can't miss it). Then she sent us a huge list of places to eat or party in Tirana. As I said great place and perfect host.

The flat is very nice, amela is a great host! Thanks again ;)

Amelia's apartment is perfect. Not only recently refurbished (so recent you can still smell the newness!) but located perfectly in Tirana, 2 mins from local markets and big 'little' grocery store, (big market is he name of a chain of grocery stores) 5 minutes from the bloc, where all the cool bars, clubs and restaurants are, 15 minutes from other central locations including the pyramid and skanderberg sq, and about 20 minutes from the grand park, a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The apartment itself was decorated in an ubertrendy minimalist fashion with exposed concrete and piping, exceptional design from Amela's architect friend. As for Amela herself, we literally couldn't have asked for more in a host: although our flight landed at midnight, she was there to greet us at the door of the apartment when we arrived around 1 am. Not only that, she was in constant contact, telling us about places to go, things to do (ask her about the grill house next to the sky tower for a brilliant, simple, authentic place to eat) and our onward journey into the Albanian Alps. Book early to avoid disappointment in this most perfect of air bnb accommodations.

We had a perfect stay in Amela's very new and lovely designed apartment. It's top located in the heart of Tirana. You can explore surroundings by foot. Amela left some fantastic hints regarding what to do - where to go. She answered all our questions in 'speed of light'! :-) Thank you so much Amela, we will highly recommend your place as well as you in personal! Stefan&Britt from munich

Once again a very nice stay at Amela and Natacha's apartment ! Thanks to both of you to make my stays always nice.

Beautiful, tasteful, cool and very central apartement. We didnt meet amela in Person but she gave us plenty of great recommendations! Although the kitchen is very minimal the only things we missed were a bread knive and fabric kitchen towels :) definetely gonna come back!

I visited Tirana for the first time & staying at Amela's apartment made my experience perfect. It was exactly the right mix of chilled atmosphere and new perception. Having went carefully through everything available in Tirana, I would put Amela's apartment first. It just added to the great experience I had in an amazing city! Thanks Amela!!

Excellent location, just off the Main Street. Clean, tidy, all available amenities, Communication was excellent.

The apartment was exactly as advertised, very clean and cozy, great location, one minute walking from the main square. It has everything you need (summer or winter), great warm architecture (made me feel like at home), perfect W-Lan and Netflix. There are books and guides all around challenging to take some with me ;-). The sixth floor (no worry, there is an elevator) offered a great view, markets, coffee shops and bakery just few steps away, very quiet and private. The host – well, you can’t find better, „veç lodhësh“, as the locals would say! Handover – easy as the Sunday morning. You could contact Vigan anytime, and if you mail him, he would answer within 2 minutes, although Prishtina is a lazy town ;-) I definitely recommend staying in one of Vigan's flats, the local hospitality is something you must experience, and yes, I’ll be back, for sure

I didnt get to stay there, but Nita was great to communicate with. Very helpful

Great place! very understanding. good communication. would stay again!

We stayed at Nita’s overnight during a recent trip to Prishtina and we absolutely loved the place. The apartment was spacious as well as fully and smartly furnished (we wasted much of the evening on Netflix instead of going out as we ought to have done). The location was excellent for exploring the city and the view was great. A minor downside: parking in Prishtina is hard to find and the neighborhood was little better in this regard so you’ll probably chose (as we did) the rather cheap commercial parking space nearby to avoid the hassle. Still, the overall experience was fun and we will surely stay here again in our future trips to Prishtina. Indeed, next time we’ll make a mental note of staying longer since the place is just perfect for longer stays.   

Everything was great! This is my second time staying at The Rooftop, and both experiences have been wonderful :)

Amazing apartment

Great apartment, I would recommend it to anybody. Contact with Nita is flawless and she will do her best to make your stay enjoyable. Would be coming back.

Best Airbnb in Vlorë. We've stayed in other houses in Vlorë and non even compare to this one. Great price with an amazing sea view and everything you need. We will be staying here again

Great balcony! Lovely view! Not too far from town and literally 50m from the beach. Everything that you could need in the apartment, and Albi and his parents nearby and happy to help. Great place!!

We had a fantastic time in Vlora! Albi’s apartment is in a great location between the town centre and the new waterfront development, it’s very clean and has two HUGE balconies. Communication is great and his dad met us to hand over keys and show us around.

We had a very pleasant stay at Albi's apartment in Vlore. The balcony is huge and has an amazing view, and the apartment is very clean!

We were greeted by the brother of Albi who was very friendly and presented the various activities in the area. The apartment is perfect! Very clean, well decorated and a wonderful view of the sea. Basket of fruit and cold drinks awaited us there when we arrived. The neighborhood is vibrant and a few minutes walk from downtown. A place that I recommend!

The place is very spacious and comfortable and close to the public beach. The flat is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay very much! Everything was very nice and Albi is wonderful host!)) Квартира очень уютная и просторная с выходом на террасу, откуда открывается прекрасный вид на Адриатическое море. Хозяин на протяжении всего нашего отпуска всячески нам помогал (давал советы, куда лучше поехать, где лучше пляж, подсказывал, на каком автобусе лучше уехать и куда мы на нем уедем:)) В общем, настоятельно рекомендую!)

Met the host at the apartment. The balcony was at least 50 sqm and we had som great sun settees there. Apartment was clean and nice. No hot water in the kitchen, so need to warm it up with electric to dish wash water. Hot water in the bathroom was good. Very nice place, will come back here some time:)

Albi couldn't have been better as a host. He answered every question (and more) and was very informative about his apartment and everything around. The actual apartment was perfect and the view couldn't have been better, we watched some gorgeous sunsets from the balcony and all in all liked vlore. Will stay again. Thanks albi.

The apartment was really nice. Spacious and clean with everything you need from Internet to washing machine. Super markets, bars and shops are just a few minutes away and there is considerable night life if you are into that. You don`t get to hear anything from the apartment though, it`s really quiet. Would recommend!

All good here. The neighbourhood has everything you could want and is walking distance (20mins) from both the main tourist strip and the bar zone. Apartment is excellent, we r happy we chose this place and when we come back to Tirana (which we enjoyed!) we will stay here again. Recommended.

Klid's apartment was really nice and clean. It had all of the things that you would require for a good stay in Tirana. It's a 20-30 minutes walk to the city centre, but right outside there is a pharmacy, supermarket and a couple of bars and restaurants. Klid himself was a great host. He picked us up from the airport and gave us a whole bunch of recommendations to restaurants and other sights of Tirana. Really a nice apartment that will make your stay in Tirana a joy!

The place was clean and comfy

Cozy apartment, easy public transport to the centrum, very helpful and pleasant host. 5/5.

I thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the apartment. It was spacious and clear, had all the necessities. Its located very close to bars and restaurants and a 10 minute bus ride to Tirana City Centre. Would highly recommend!!

Thanks to our host Klid, we had a wonderful time in Albania. His hospitality and helpfulness was a of a kind that you can't expect from an Airbnb-host. The flat was nice and clean, and in a walking distance from center of Tirana. We give our strongest recommondations.

The flat is located on a lively street with shops, restaurants and cafés close by. When we arrived, Klid was there to welcome us and show us around the apartment. He seemed more than happy to answer any questions we might have had about Albania and very kindly shared his knowledge on the dining scene in Tirana. Klid's two-bathroom two-bedroom apartment proved to be a comfortable base from which to explore the country a bit. There are plenty of bus and furgon stops only a short walk away, so if you're planning on going on some day trips throughout Albania, Klid's flat is ideally located.

This was the perfect airbnb experience. Klodiana was so helpful and lovely! From the outset we had maps and advice. It made for a very easy and enjoyable stay in Tirana. The apartment is great value. It is fully (FULLY) equipped - from detergent and softener for the washing machine, to salt and oil for cooking. Highly recommend this place, our best airbnb stay so far.

Stay in Klodiana's house for 4 days was a good choice!!! The apartment is stylish and clean. We got everything we need here. The supermarket and restaurant are very close to the apartment!! We got a lot of questions when we stayed in Tirana but Klodiana was so helpful who answered each question in detail!! Her sister Nora also gave us lots of help, too. If anyone want to explore Tirana! Stay here!!

Nice apartment! Klodiana's sister met us there and showed us around. The couch does not pull out into a bed, but it is comfortable to sleep on. The double bed is a very small double. There is wifi, which was really nice. Overall, I would recommend this place!

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet appartement confortable et dans un quartier très calme La soeur de Klodiana nous a parfaitement accueilli Je recommande !

I stayed at Klodiana's place for a night with a couple of friends. Unfortunately we couldn't meet her since she was not in Albania then but her sister welcomed her and helped us with everything. Our flight got delayed by 2 hours but both Klodiana and her sister were in constant touch with us to help us out. Overall a nice place to stay

Klodiana was very kind and she was very reactive. The flat is like on the pictures, very clean and quiet. Lot of restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are not far from the flat (5 mn walking distance) Center is at 20 mn walking distance

Apartment is approximately 15 minutes walk from city center. Clean and nice apartment.

wow, what excellent accommodation located in a very good area of tirana near some excellent restaurants. The accommodation is beautifully furnished and decorated, very clean and well looked after, so you will feel very comfortable. the hosts communications were excellent. highly recommended

Penthouse Bellavista is something special, a beautiful open plan, modern space to enjoy without even the need to go anywhere else. Amazing views and sunsets (plus binoculars provided) are to die for. For reasonably priced, friendly taxi service to wherever you wish to go, ask for a popular local driver named Miri, after receiving high quotes from others, he was a wonderful find. The local grocery shop also sells cigarettes and wine, but there was only bacon available on our first day, so recommend stocking up if it's there. Also nearest atm is in Kavaje, an hour's walk or a short taxi ride. Our hosts were available at all times for any problems, very attentive and great experience. Thank you for a wonderful week!

An absolutely incredible experience. The penthouse is absolutely amazing! The restaurant downstairs has the friendliest and most helpful staff. We were a group of 6 and everyone had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. Ariana even arranged our transport for the end of our stay. Recommend to get some Albanian Lek from a cash machine before you arrive as there is no machine in walking distance

We were a group of 6 friends, and can honestly say this apartment is every inch as amazing as the photos look. The was plenty of space for all of us, and the views both day and night were spectacular. We stayed in mid June and the beach was beautiful and quiet. The sea was very clean. The host was incredibly helpful from hiring us extra sun loungers and arranging for an English speaking local to book all our taxi's (including a driver for the 5 hour trip to saranda and back) all free of charge! The village isn't bustling with bars or restaurants but the town of Durres is only a 15minute drive, Tirana only 30minutes and we jaded the trip a few times easily. To be honest you don't redskin need to leave the apartment, as the kitchen has everything you need and there's also a BBQ. If you are looking for a chilled out, relaxing, holiday with great weather and lovely people than this is the perfect place to stay. We would definitely stay again.

Great place - we would have loved to stay longer. Everything as shown on pictures. Be aware that both bedrooms aren't really closed, there are doors, but walls aren't going through. Helpful support online and on site. Looking forward to come back.

Everything in accordance with the description and the pictures. Beautiful accomodation and experience. The apartment is just fantasting, amazing sea and beach view, big balcony, air conditioning, everything available for cooking. BAr and restaurant are just out of the apartment with great pizza and service. The sandy beach is far 30 meters out of the building and 4 seats are available on the beach. For sure a must in this area, gonna be back again in the future. The Host is really kind and everytime available. A mobile is at disposition to call the host free of charge, whenever needed. At the same time they guarantee privacy for all the time.

This was an incredible experience. The penthouse it self is amazing. Situated on the fifth floor the view is incredible both during day and night, overlooking the Durres Bay. It is on the beach itself, so you can just walk down for a swim and a bit of sun and sand. Once in the apartment, its a tough choice between sitting in the beautifully decorated living room or in the spatious and beautiful terrace. You can choose to lounge and dine inside or on the terrace. The kitchen is full of amanities and there is a nice barbecue in the terrace for having a nice night in. In the evenings you can choose to go out to Durres, which is only 10 min by car or the lively Tirana (only 30 min away), however you will find it difficult to leave the penthouse as the picture of the sun setting on the sea in the middle of your living room is something remarkable you will not want to miss. The hosts were extremely nice and provided a nice personal welcome and the possibility to contact them on anything. The apartment was very clean and tidy, with spatious rooms and a nice bathroom with a whilrpool. The private beach is beautiful with golden sand and your personal beach beds, with the beautiful turquise sea chaning colors in the evening. The restaurants in the vicinity and Durres are great and if you are into sea-food you are bound to want to travel back again. All in all a very nice experience and an unforgettable stay at the penthouse. If you want an exclusive apartment and have privacy in your mind, then this is as close to a perfect setting as you can get.

There is simply no other word for the view from this penthouse: it is breathtaking. When you open the door from the stairs to the balcony it is as if you have entered a different world. Each time we walked in we were astonished. When we arrived, there was fresh fruit from local farms and a bottle of raki waiting for us. Our host showed us around the flat and was extremely welcoming. Included with the flat, the hosts have rented three umbrellas and six beach chairs at the beach for the entire stay. In addition to the view being incredible, the whole house has been decorated by an architect and every detail is perfect. The beach is clean and beautiful, there are a few local restaurants within walking distance and a small shop downstairs that stays open late so you can pick up essentials. We are from London and stayed with our four friends from Kosovo. We all had an amazing experience and some of us will definitely return!

Nous avons passé une super semaine dans cet appartement magnifique ! La vue est incroyable !!! Impossible de s'en lasser. L'appartement est parfaitement équipé et vraiment très bien décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Il faut juste noter que l'appartement est assez loin de la ville de Durres (20km) et qu'il est vraiment préférable de venir en voiture, ce qui n'était pas notre cas. Ariana et son père nous ont beaucoup aidés pour organiser les déplacements et nous leurs en somme reconnaissants (même si c'est vrai que les prix restent au bon vouloir du conducteur et assez fluctuants). Les alentours de l'appartement sont composés de résidences ou vous pourrez trouver des petit restaurants, parfait pour manger. L'endroit est fréquente uniquement par des Albanais qui ne parlent pas anglais, la plus part du temps, ce qui ne rend pas l'endroit forcément très festif. Cependant c'est l'idéal pour se reposer à plusieurs et profiter encore une fois de ce cadre et ce décor de rêve. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter.

We first felt a bit cheated when we arrived. The advert says there is a kitchen but it's not possible for the guests to use it, we had booked a room but the first thing we were showed was a dorm. The advert also states "wifi throughout the building" but there is no wifi, and "the blue eye a few minutes away" is actually 2 and a half hours walk away... But the location is amazing, the house is cute and the food delicious!

We had a great stay in sphella guesthouse! Beautiful place, beautiful sorroundings, rooms were great and staff very friendly! Thanks. Definitely recommend it

Rigtig fint sted med venligt personale og gode ferciliteter. Kan klart anbefale stedet!

Staying with arbies at the guesthouse shpella was a highlight of our Albanian tour. Arbies was communicative and extremely friendly, not to mention interesting and interested. The guesthouse is situated at the foot of the valley next to the blood tower, commanding spectacular views of the theth valley. Our room was in the new part looking towards the valley end. A staggering view to wake up to. The guesthouse owner, John was a font of knowledge, and was able to give us advice and organise a pack horse for our trip to Volbona the next day. A special mention about the food: fresh, plentiful, and home grown. We ate communally with around twenty other guests, shared stories and experiences, and drank late into the night. From our point of view, this is the best guesthouse in theth, and and fully recommended.

Had a great stay, and beautiful first experience in northern Albania. Just a few notes about the place for future travelers: the road coming in is tough. Gravel, some times washed out and down a massive mountain. It took me an 1.5 hours to go down it becaus i had a small rental car. The village does not have ATM, or gas station so come prepared. The guest house also did not have heat, so if coming in the fall, wear warm clothes. I ended up sleeping in a jacket and scarf.

Gjon is really taking good care of all his guests. He's doing everything to make your stay unforgettable.

Arbies is super nice always courteous and willing to help, it´s a shame that he already left the position because he is a STAR. Keep in mind that you can´t reach the village if you have a 2WD car, you must have a 4WD (it should be clearer in airbnb ad). Price for return with a 4WD taxi is 80 Euros so your budget can increase considerately. The public transport return ticket is 20 Euros but you have to book a couple of days in advance. Atmosphere in house very nice but the bathroom could be cleaner. Theth valley is amazing and the food is good. We recommend this place.

This guesthouse gave me the best experience of Theth possible. With great patience they explained trails and how it all worked. I needed to extend my stay one night and it was no problem. In fact- I had no problems at all -so very accommodating! My bed was comfortable and room clean. I ate three dinners there and each was tasty, unique and traditional. They even went out of their way to make my birthday dinner extra special. This family and this town touched my heart.

Vana was very communicative and her father was great to meet us much later than we had expected because we ran into some issues while traveling there by car from Montenegro. The apartment was clean, well equipped, and in a perfect location. We walked to everything!

Great apparment in great location! The apt is located in a center of the city, walking distance to the port, grocery stores, restaurant and the beaches. Apartment is brand new, open, spacious, airy and has a wonderful sea view. Vana, our host, and her parents were great. They picked us up from our hotel, welcomed us with homemade canndied fruit and were available for any questions/requests anytime. There were few brief moments during rain/storm that electcity or water went out in the building/city but those disappeard quickly, so no problem at all. The internet is fast and allows for (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) video calling. Overall, one of the best stays we have ever had. Thanks Vana!

Great place, right in the middle of Sarande. You can get everywhere by foot from here. The place is perfectly clean and looks exactly like in the photos. Vana, and her dad, who met us at the bus station were very friendly and accommodating hosts. The biggest advantage of the place, in my opinion, is letting the door to the balcony open at night and you can hear the ocean all night long. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you visit Sarande.

We all greatly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very clean apartment in Sarande. The fourth storey view to the sea, and being located right off the pedestrian stretch, as well as our host kindly meeting us to take us right to the flat, made our stay remarkable.

We had a very comfortable stay in this lovely apartment for three weeks. It is central, clean, and well stocked (after we asked for a few kitchen things, which they were very prompt to provide). Vana's father met us as we departed the bus to take us directly to the apartment. They were both very quick to respond when we had questions or needed anything. We had a wonderful stay!

We only spent 4 days in Sarandë, but the apartment was absolutely perfect. It really was a beautiful place and far exceeded our expectations. It is right at the heart of Sarandë and has many restaurants just on its door step. We are already thinking about coming back but staying for longer. Couldn't fault the place or the apartment.

The apartment was great! We had 180 ocean view from the balcony. The apartment is set just a block away from the beach, very close walking distance and just steps away from the main saranda fare. The apartment is a the fifth floor walk-up which is quite an exercise each day (kept us in shape after all the eating). There is an elevator and maybe we forgot to ask for the key. This wash first time in Albania and i really enjoyed the apartment. There was plenty of clean sheets and toiletries to go around. The city is very walkable however I would caution about getting a cab to drop you off in front of the apartment as it is in a closed off street. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely go back. Pros: walking distance to restaurants, great view, clean linens, plenty of surprises. Cons: stairs on move in and move out, construction next door--none of which is the host's fault.

Very nice

Heel aardige gastvrouw,behulpzaam..leuk verzorgd appartement.goed uitzicht vanuit het raam .veel terrasjes,winkels en park rondom wel aan een drukke straat waar men s,avonds graag loopt en gezien wil worden. Voor ons helaas een nadeel,het was op de 5e verdieping en geen lift. Entree wel erg oud. G.H.

Appartamento pulito e ben attrezzato oltre che in posizione centralissima...siamo stati bene! E torneremo

Stupendo! Grazie Sandra! Consigliatissimo per posizione, bellezza dell'appartamento, pulizia e cortesia della host.

If you're planning on going to Albania then Sandra's place should be at the top of your list. First, it's central to everything in Tirana, right across the street from Parku Rinia and literally above two busy cafes. It's also very clean, safe and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a stay in Tirana. Sandra was very clear in communication and gave us all we needed to know. Her mother checked us in, but Sandra was available on the phone to help clear up any last minute questions we had at the time. She arranged a private car for us from the airport, which was incredibly helpful, and also helped us schedule a taxi to get home. She was an ideal airbnb host! Spend some time in Tirana and especially Sandra's place; you won't regret it.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Sandra's flat was absolutely beautiful and perfectly located in the center of Tirana overlooking parku rinia. The flat is newley renovated and very clean. Sandra was wonderful and very responsive. I really enjoyed my stay there and would go there again in a heart beat. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful place!

We had a great experience at this apt! Had a nice trendy feel to the place, and the A/C during the summer helped. Ervin was very helpful in getting us situated and with checking into the place. Ervin even helped me figure out how to catch the airport shuttle. It's located across the street of the Taiwan center and quick walking distance to Bloku (much of the nightlife)! It's on the fifth floor of an apartment building with a couple coffee shops and pizza restaurants outside of the building. There was also a couple "exchange" shops on the same block so we could pull out Lek. Highly recommend this place for its convenience, location and great hosts.

Amazing Location. Could not have been better. Sandra was very nice and met us when we arrived. Nice apartment with a deck. Very clean. A few stairs to get up that travellers should be aware of.

Great flat, Great hosts, highly recommended!

Our experience with Agim was excellent. Our arrival in Shkoder was delayed because of transportation problems, and he was responsive and helpful. He stayed up late to make sure we were welcomed and then woke up early the next day to hold onto our bag while we traveled through the north. I wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended.

It's a wonderful apartment, spacious, clean and centrally located. Agim and his wife are very friendly hosts. We are looking forward to stay there again next time we're in Skodra!

We had a perfect stay at ervin's place. The parents were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome! We felt like at home and the location was also great and easy to reach. We would love to come back!! Thank you for the experience!

If you are planning on going to Shkodër, then this is the perfect apartment! It is located a 5min walk from the main part of town and about 2km to the top of the castle. The apartment is very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Ervin's father, Agim was there to meet us and was very welcoming- giving us a tour of the city from the balcony. We arrived on 2 motorbikes and Agim went out of his way to make sure they were parked securely. After spending the afternoon looking around the city, Agim and his wife were amazingly accommodating hosts!! We really enjoyed our one night here and wished we could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Agim is a very welcoming and friendly host, He met us out on the street and walked us to the apartment. The roadside was busy so we parked our car just a few minutes away and it was fine. The apartment is huge with everything you need, Agim lives just next door so is easy to find if you need him! The views from the balcony are absolutely beautiful, and if it wasnt so cheap to eat out we would have enjoyed a meal up there for sure! The apartment is central, safe and Shkodra is easy to get around. The castle is only around 30 minutes walk and there is plenty to see on the way. Agim even invited us into his home and shared stories and local Raki with us which we loved. Great place to stay in Shkodra!!!

We were met by Ervin's father, who was very welcoming and kind, showing us around the apartment and explaining the city to us from the balcony. He had cold waters waiting for us in the fridge and a beautiful bouquet of flowers in honor of our anniversary. The apartment was bigger than we expected and very comfortable. The view is great. Parking could be found on the street, right below the apartment.

Agim helped orient us in the city as as soon as we arrived. The apartment has beautiful views of downtown and is centrally located. We loved staying here. The apartment is well equipped with everything we needed.

Brand new and beautiful we were so happy we stayed there. The staff were incredibly kind to us letting us store luggage and helping us get out for our early morning departure. Not wheelchair friendly, but definitely worth it if stairs are not a concern.

The best staff ever!!! They helped with everything even we didnt mentioned to ask.

This hotel was brilliant! My family and I loved it. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very helpful.

Very clean place good located (20min walk to the bus stops) in a quiet street. Beautiful garden. We recommend this place. Staff could do more efforts but overall friendly.

We stayed 2 nights here.

Great renovated old mansion with a garden, 10 min to old town, rents bicycles for free, recommended!

Sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer! Schönes Frühstücksbuffet für einen tollen Start in den Tag! Guter Standort, freundliches Personal!

the reception was very nice, the hotel's location is very good. Polite, helpful staff .. A rich and varied breakfast.

This is the most beautiful air bnb in Albania. Emiliano's place is perched high above the breathtaking views of Kruja, within the safe and pleasant grounds of the castle. Breakfast is served on the edge of the hill overlooking the town and Emiliano and his brother are incredibly welcoming. If you need anything, they will provide it. The rooms are huge and very tastefully decorated, the facilities are modern and the full experience is second to none.

Nous sommes restés une nuit pour la fin de notre séjour. La maison d'Emiliano est située dans le vieux Kruje avec une vue magnifique. A recommander pour le dépaysement et la générosité de ces hôtes. Aussi bien d'Emiliano , de son frère , de sa maman ...

Het is absoluut prachtig !! Het huis, ligging, bergen, heerlijk ontbijt en avondeten met eigen lekker wijn. Emiliano was heel snel met mails vragen. Extra luxe dat we opgehaald werden op vliegveld door zijn vader.

Vi ankom kl. 2 om natten, hvilket ikke var noget problem, vi blev modtaget med åbne arme. Værten gjorde alt for at vi skulle have en god oplevelse i Kruje. Kan varmt anbefales.

We enjoyed it very much to stay at the house of Emilianos family! Emiliano is a very good, helpful host who made everything to let us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The room was cosy and clean. We also had a delicious dinner cooked by Emilianis Mom (it costs only 5€). The castle, as well as the house, has a unique atmosphere. So it was a great experience to stay there!

Siamo arrivati in piena notte 01.30 ! Emiliano ci aspettava sulla panca all ingresso sorridente .....ha esordito dicendo "nessun problema" !! Location fantastica, un po' difficoltoso il raggiungimento in quanto al termine di un isola pedonale .... Ma nulla di impossibile !! Al risveglio uno spettacolo per la veduta per non parlare della colazione "compresa", con prodotti di produzione propria fantastica !! Cordialità e genuinità sono punti di forza della famiglia .... Super host !

We were a group of 9 people and we really enjoy Emiliano's house! The place is very typical and beautiful, views from there and the castle are really amazing and Emiliano and his family were welcoming and very kind with all of us. It was a pleasure to meet them! If you are a group like us and you want an entire house for you only, think to talk with Emiliano before as sometimes some rooms of the house that have their windows up your little garden can be rent to someone else so it became not only your house but them as well. By the way we definitely enjoyed our stay and hope we'll be able to come back one day!

This place is really special, even better than the the add. Emiliano and his family are wonderful hosts that make you feel at home instantly. The private dinner at the castle walls is a real treat.

Maria's apartment is about as close to perfect as you can find. It's got everything you need, has a stunning view, a little private beach and a very comfy bed. Maria and her parents are always available and very helpful. It's not exactly in the middle of town, but there are loads of restaurants and markets nearby. Highly recommended!!

We were a little bit suspicious how great the listing page seemed. A lot of previous guests said that it was exactly as described and on photos. We disagree! It was much better in reality. The apartment itself, the view and location was great and so convenient for us. We arrived before the check in time but we were able to enter the flat earlier thanks to communication and kindness of the hosts. We loved 2 restaurants in the area, especially Sarandina just at the bottom of the apartment. We ate there almost every day for lunch or dinner. We also recommend Aragosta couple of minutes down the road. Beaches in the walking distance are good but we prefered less crowded, stunning coast less than an hour drive up north.

The apartment was nice, clean and well furnished. Also Maria was really nice and helpful. Unfortunately, during our stay we had two electricity and water blackouts for several hours.

Great apartment, loved the view and access to the beach. Not too far to walk to the main boardwalk. Enjoyed our time in Sarandë, would recommend Maria's apartment 10/10.

Maria's apartment is the perfect base for a relaxing trip to Sarande, we didn't meet Maria but she was extremely easy to contact and responded quickly to all our messages. Her mother greeted us at the apartment and was very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is amazing; clean, modern and spacious! The private beach is perfect, we loved jumping into the water! I would highly recommend staying here while in Sarande!

This appartment is spotless and very well equipped. It looks across to Corfu and is slightly outside the high rise busy sarande. Sea immediately in front. Maria fantastic with communication and making sure all well. Highly recommended.

The apartament was great! It looks like the same that on photos! Me and my husband were really suprised when Maria's mother waited for us on the ferry!

Vi blev mycket väl mottagna av Marias trevliga och hjälpsamma föräldrar som guidade oss till denna charmiga lägenhet och visade oss hur den fungerade. Vi kände oss mycket välkomna och väl omhändertagna.

The host was really polite and helpful, the house was very beautiful and well equipped, in the center of the city. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone, it is a very beautiful place!

One of the best airbnb experiences ever. Cool, clean and quite aptmt - only 2 min from the beautiful old town. Communication with Gezim was excellent - fast and friendly answers to all my questions. His brother Afrim picked us up from tbe airport in Pristina and gave us an epic day tour through Albania - both against a fee but TOTALLY worth it. Afrim is a real genious and a fantastic guy, seriously like a good friend. Should u be in Prizren, this must be your place. A big thank you from the heart, I ll be back. Definitely!

A really nice and comfortable apartment, the photos do not do it justice. High quality furnishings, spacious, lovely views from the 2 bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen should you feel inclined to cook but as it's so close to so many restaurants why bother. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony of an evening and having a place to park was a real bonus. Prizren is a fantastic town and this apartment is the perfect place to enjoy it.

lovely place. Gezim and brother Afrim very honestly and friendly host. thanks for every thing.

Great host, great location in a quiet area. Would recommend it for anyone

Lovely, smart apartment, a few minutes walk down to the old town

Gezim's apartment is amazing. Very modern and clean. It's about a 5 minute walk to the main square where there are a lot of restaurants and bars. Note that the apartment is up a hill. For us it wasn't any issue. Gezim is extremely quick in communication. The perfect place for a trip to Prizren.

The flat was brand new. It was in the old part of the town and very close to famous Shatervan. The beds were very comfy. There was plenty of cooking materials and kitchen utensils. Apartment was very clean. The street is a little bit steep and may not be good for people with walking difficulty. Gezim was very helpful before and after booking. His niece who welcomed us was very friendly and kind.

Jorgo is the nicest guy ever! The room is clean, the view from the terrace is amazing and the breakfast is delicious. Would happily come back here.

Beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Close to everything, but still quiet and with a great view of the ocean. Good breakfast. Jorgo was very, very helpful and even took us on a hike. Would stay here again.

We travelled in Albania for 10 days and stayed in Himare, Berat and Ksamil - Himare was our best experience! A big factor was our extremely helpful and nice host Jorgo. The room was very good and the house is on a great location. All in all staying at Jorgo's place in Himare was our best Airbnb experience so far!

Jorgo's place is incredible! He is a warm and welcoming host. He let us know about a few more private beaches and helped us quite a bit with figuring out travel. Wonderful experience in Albania!

Jorgo is very pleasent young man, who is very friendly, speaks good english and is very helpfull. The room is beautifully furnished, absolutely clean, very comfortable. The terase is overlooking the whole town and the see view is charming.The location is just in the town center with good and easy access to the beach and to the restaurants nad another atractons, which Jorgo recomended to us.The breakfest under the wine branches in the shadow patio was unforgetable-the home made cheese, marmalade, butter, milk, home made pastry- so different from the supermarket standard- we were very very much satisfied.Thanks a lot Jorgo-you made our Albanian holidays really exceptional.warm regards to you american girl friend. Vratislava

Jorgo's place was the best place that we stayed in during our 2 weeks in Albania!! He made us feel very welcome throughout our trip and gave us great recommendations of where to visit in the local area. It was also really nice to share a drink with him out on the terrace!

Our hosts were extremely friendly and eager to help in all matters. The hotel was very nice and cozy with a nice view. It was also well situated near the beaches and restaurants but in a calm location.

One of the best Airbnb experiences ever. Arian and Natalie are wonderful hosts: kind, helpful and always there if you need something. Arian offered us great tips for hiking and kajaking tours which really made our trip perfect. Their home is beautiful, perfectly located, clean and quiet. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you for everything and until next time!
