Wir haben eine detaillierte Wegbeschreibung erhalten und wurden super herzlich von Marios Eltern empfangen. Mario hat sich viel Zeit für uns genommen und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke an die Mama für das tolle Essen.

Die Unterkunft von Mario ist sehr zu empfehlen. Er und seine Eltern haben uns herzlich empfangen. Das Bad und die Schlafzimmer sind sauber und ordentlich. Das Frühstück ist reichlich und man wird mit sämtlichen Tipps für die Gegend ausgestattet. Wir waren zusätzlich noch mit Kleinkind unterwegs und auch da wurde alles möglich gemacht. Es gibt viele Tiere zu bestaunen und tolle Dinge zu entdecken. Ein Traum für Jung und alt

Mario et sa famille sont super accueillants ! Il fait le nécessaire pour que vous soyez à l'aise. L'appartement est situé devant les montagnes. Gjirokastera était en travaux mais ça sera vraiment sympa quand tout sera terminé.

Mario's parents welcomed us warmly, offered coffee and some sweet fruit and showed us everything. The breakfast on the terace is delicious and Elli and her husband are always busy to help, even if they do not speak a lot of English, we had no problems to communicate. Thx a lot to your parents, Mario!!

A charming house with a great view of the mountains and fantastic hosts. Thank you very much for making our stay so good and memorable. This is how I imagined airbnb!

Mario is a really nice guy and lives above the appartment. He makes sure your stay will be very good. The breakfast was great and it was great to meet Mario and his family. The appartment is very cool when the days are hot.

Les parents de Mario sont adorables et ont rendus notre séjour très agréable. Ils nous ont accueillis avec du café et des figues fraîches. Nous étions obligés de partir tôt le matin, mais la maman de Mario n'a pas voulu nous laisser partir sans petit-déjeuner et nous a fait des sandwichs à emporter délicieux. La maison est bien située, il est possible d'aller visiter la ville à pieds. Large place pour se garer. Très belle vue sur les montagnes.

Great family. Gave us a lovely breakfast.. Accommodation just outside main tourist zone..but easy walk to sites ..

Blerta scheint gefühlt zu haben, dass wir in den engen Gassen von Gjirokaster fast steckengeblieben wären (man sollte nicht immer dem Navi trauen...), und hat just in dem Moment angerufen, als wir mit Händen und Füßen einen freundlichen älteren Herrn nach ihrem Haus fragten. Sofort war ihr Mann zur Stelle, um das Auto zur besser befahrbaren Straße zu lotsen, während besagter freundlicher Herr meine Frau zum Haus begleitete. Sehr netter Empfang! Ein sehr freundliches, zugewandtes und kommunikatives Paar, eine schöne Unterkunft, bequeme Betten, toller Gemüse- und Obstgarten, neugeborene Kätzchen, spektakuläres albanisches Frühstück mit kontinentalen Komponenten - für jeden was dabei. Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort, aber am Vormittag nahm sich Blertas Mann Zeit, uns in der Stadt herumzuführen, sogar in die Werkstatt der örtlichen Handwerker und kaufte uns die Spezialitäten, die es nur in Gjirokaster gibt (Qifqi - gebratene Reisbällchen aus der Spezialpfanne) - seeehr lecker! Auf jeden Fall sind Stadt und Familie eine Reise wert!! Noch ein kleiner Hinweis für alle, die danach nach Berat weiterreisen: Man muss nicht über die Berge fahren (sehr abenteuerlich, wenn Geländewagen vorhanden sicher ein Spaß...), man kann auch einen Großteil der Strecke auf der neuen Straße Richtung Tirana fahren ;o) Zum Abschied bekamen wir selbstgemachte Marmelade mit auf den Weg und die in die Kätzchen verliebten Kinder bekamen zumindest die weißen Keramikkätzchen geschenkt :o) sehr nett! Viele Dank!

Incroyable séjour à Gjirokaster dans la maison de Blerta. Accueil magnifique de Blerta, son mari et leur neveu. La maison à une vue incroyable, le jardin est somptueux, tonnelle, fruits, (URL HIDDEN) chambre vaste et agréable avec superbe salle de bain privée. Blerta est aux petits soins et le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse face au paysage est un excellent moment. Gjirokaster est un magnifique endroit, et la maison de Blerta parfaitement situé à 5 mn à pied du centre historique. Visiter absolument la maison Skenduli juste à coté. Magnifique séjour, n'hésitez pas. Merci encore à Blerta et sa famille.

lovely place with a great view. i would recommend staying here as the pictures describe the place well.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Blertas house. Great hospitality and a beatiful wiew made the stay even moore perfect. The location is great for exploring the old town and the bazar.

Fantastic hosts! nice, friendly, welcoming, caring...what could I add more to highlight the merits of Bierta and Miri? The place is nice, a little green oasis feet away from the old city and the castle. The hosts helped me in everything and I left with a great experience and two new friends there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! perfect for families as well!

How friendly and welcoming were Blerta and Miri! Our room was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The garden oasis and verandah with a spectacular view were so inviting we didn't want to leave. Right near all the historic parts of Gjirokaster, it was a special place to stay. Thank you Blerta and Miri for your hospitality and the delicious breakfast!

Blerta and her husband are pretty nice. They welcomed us and prepared fresh vegetable breakfast from the garden,they took care of us to take to the Blue eye. He took us even to Saranda to guide us. We reccommend this hostel .

We stayed at Blerta's house for one night but can certainly recommend this place. Initially, it was a bit hard to find but an experienced taxi driver eventually got us there. Blerta gave us a warm welcome and offered us a tidy room. Always available for sharing some useful travel/transport tips, Blerta is just a very helpful and thoughtful host. My girlfriend forgot a pair of trousers in one of the wardrobes in the room, but Blerta was so kind to wait for new Belgian guests to ask them to take them with them. Thumbs up!

The stay at Mariglen's place is at a perfect location to discover Gjirokaster. The views from the window are breathtaking. Traditional and good breakfast. Nice and friendly people who did their best to make our stay perfect. We recommend Mariglen's place. :)

Our stay at Castle hotel 13 was great as expected. Nice room, great hosts and perfect location. No complaints.

We had a great but short one night stay and wished we had stayed longer with Mariglen's family and in Gjirokaster. All descriptions were accurate and the breakfast was delicious. Mariglen's family are delightful, helpful and friendly. Really a home away from home and can't recommend highly enough.

Albania is a wonderfully interesting country, Gjirokastre an interesting town (we already visited before). The Castle hotel is a very nice hotel, all new, well equipped, wonderful location and perfect host. A traditional breakfast is served, we wouldn't have it any other way. Parkingspace is limited and requires good driving skills. It is probably advisable to park downtown and take a taxi to the hotel, can't be more then a three minute drive.

I had a quick one night stop in Gjirokaster and this was a great place to stay. Close walk to town and a great breakfast.

The hotel with several rooms is located on a beautiful spot in town overlooking the valley. The family owning the hotel serve a excellent breakfast, we haven't had a better one in Albania :)

This accommodation was a remarkable experience, great location (only a few minutes walk from everything). The newly renovated house is very welcoming, clean. There is air conditioning, a spacious area for breakfast which was so rich and abundant. The people that take care of the place are very kind and go out of their way to make you feel at home, help you out with everything you may need. We were about to miss our bus and a ride was instantly offered. Very sweet people! Highly recommended!

What a find! WOW! The most welcoming host yet! We were hungry after a long day of seeing sights from Saranda to Gjirokaster. Even though the gentleman (Mariglen's father?) didn't speak English he understood we were asking about a tavern and literally drove us to a delicious and delightful Taverna Kuka where we enjoyed a wonderful traditional meal. He pointed out our path home where we thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful rest. This is ABnB at its best! Living like a local while feeling safe and cared for. We will stay here again next time in Gjirokaster.

Ver close to the castle , high up , road is some what very high , if have car can be a scary experience , overall you are right in the old town . Robert and Tong Laiying 2016

Beautiful location in the town at the top of a steep cobbled climb

Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr zentral und man kann alles gut erreichen. Die vielen Zimmer sind super für eine Familie mit zwei Kindern. In der Küche war alles vorhanden, was wir gebraucht haben. Nur war die Wohnung kalt, nach zwei Nächten war es etwas besser. Vielleicht waren wir die ersten in dieser Saison, dass es im Sommer angenehmer ist.

Me and my friend stayed at Altin place. Instructions to get here were clear and appartment is very nice, clean and spacious and communication with Altin was great. It has perfect location,near city center and all important things.

La descripción del anuncio era correcta, la zona donde está la casa muy bonitaªª

The appartement is very spacious and in a very good location - the perfect spot to explore the beautiful city of Himare from. We were a little earlier than expected and Altin arranged for us that we could drop our luggage off a little earlier. We had a nice stay!

The apartment is a bit old and looks run-down from the outside. Inside it is pretty cozy and clean though. Altin had a neighbor (who did not speak English and we had to find ourselves) give us the keys. I would suggest it because of its perfect location!

Great house! Easy to locate, tons of space, beautiful location and fully equipped. All in all, definitely recommended.

The location of Altin's place is perfect for sightseeing, right at the old town. It's much bigger than it looks in the photos, it would be perfect for a family!

My wife and I stayed three nights in this apartment. The photos on the website are accurate and the apartment is very good value. It was very cold during our stay at the end of November and we were very pleased that Altin provided modern portable heaters and lots of blankets. The bathroom has a very welcomed heater. As others have mentioned, Athenia who gave us the key and showed us the apartment was very nice, but she does not speak any English. We were able to address some items by using hand gestures, but for more involved items we needed to e-mail Altin. He was usually very quick to respond to our questions. If you are arriving by bus, you may want to take a taxi to the apartment to avoid the climb up the cobblestone streets.

Esta casa en realidad es una casa/hostel/museo; cuando llegue me senti un poco decepcionada pues esperaba llegar a una casa con alguna familia que me recibiera pero en realidad fue mucho mejor, me recibio un joven albano super amigable, gracioso y con una energia espectacular que te pone de buen humor en cuanto comienzas a platicar con el; no llevaba ni la mitad del tour de la casa cuando me arrepenti de haber reservado por solo una noche. La casa es increible, puedes pasar hasta una semana sin cansarte del mismo lugar seguramente. En la noche me invitaron a cenar con el staff y uno de los huespedes, ademas de que la cena fue deliciosa, pase una de las noches mas interesantes y agradables desde que comence mi viaje hace ya mas de seis meses. En resumen, quedarte en esta casa es la mejor decision que puedes tomar en Gjirokaster.

Everything was perfect! Thanks guys to the welcome and kindness. Lorenzo e Martina

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Exceptional location in the heart of old Gjirokaster. Rooms are clean and the accomodation is truly a stylish one. Highly recommended!

Das Zimmer lag in einem sehr schönen alten Steinhaus. Die Familie, die den oberen Stock bewohnt, war sehr freundlich. Gjirokaster ist eine wunderschöne Stadt, die man von hier aus gut zu Fuß erkunden kann.

We had no the opportunity of enjoying the flat because the last customers didn't check out even if Chris has told you that they have to do it. Chris himself look for a hotel for us.

We didn't stay at Chris' place because there were some other people who didn't leave the place because they didn't respect our prior reservation. Fortunately Chris found us a nice replacement - a huge apartment with very nice view - so no big deal with the place change. Chris appeared to be a caring host, he walked towards us when we were lost in the city, guided us get the apartment, acted as a translator with the Albanian host and also provided some interesting stories about the Gjirokaster and Albania.

The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house was really in the centre of the old town, in a few minutes you can reach all the most important touristic places. Lili was very friendly. The house was clean and comfortable... we really enjoyed our holiday!

The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Chris confirmed our reservation, but wasn't in Gjirokastër and didn't reply our messages. when we got there we found out that the booked apartment was actually occupied so we had to find another place to stay. i texted Chris to please cancel the reservation and transfer back the money but until today he didn't even answer. when we'll be back in Germany I have to contact AIRBNB to get the money back. so unfortunately we can't recommend you to contact Chris! (instead we can highly recommend Floras Guesthouse which is also centrally located. just ask locals, they will show you.)

Parfaite localisation dans le centre ville. Un hôte adorable et prévenant. Seul regret, l'équipement de la cuisine est un peu spartiate, mais il suffit de demander pour avoir le nécessaire.

The location of the flat is perfect and we find very easily a place to park the car. Chris welcomed us although we came late really kindly. Some fresh bottles of water were prepared and the owner gave us some fruits in sirup of his own garden. The flat was really cosy, clean and spacious with all the equipments requiered although we stayed only two nights. Chris is easygoing, always smiling and took time to speak with us. It is the perfect accomodation to discover the city and to spend good time in Gjirokaster.

Bon accueil de Rita qui est très attentive . Séjour agréable. Très bon breakfast qui apparemment n'est pas compris dans la prestation proposée.

PERFECT STAY ! THANK YOU RITA !!!!!!

Our stay at Castle Hotel was wonderful! Excellent hosts and amazing traditional breakfast in the morning! Our host also kindly gave us a lift to the bus station in the morning which we really appreciated. The place is very clean and seems to have been renovated recently. The view from the window was amazing! Great location - just a short walk from the castle or to the town centre. I would really recommend staying at Castle Hotel. We loved it!

Very good place to stay in Gjirokastra. Beautyfull house with a nice view and just 200 meter away from castle. The hosts where very friendly and the breakfast was very tasty!

I loved Mariglen's parents. His mother was so friendly and such a wonderful cook and perfect host. They have decorated a traditional house using antique brass and weavings; I felt like I had gone back in time. A photographers dream. Make time for the castle and museum. It is a great history lesson of this country of many cultures. Oh, great restaurants in town. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps will get you close , but you need them to get you the rest of the way there.

Hôtel très sympa, belle décoration, très propre, avec vu improbable sur les montagne, on recommande.

We recommend this place for a stay im gjirokastra. It is clean, pitoresque and has a great view. People are very friendly. As the castle hotel lies quite on top of the city, to reach it by foot, requires some fitness, otherwise you can also take a taxi to get there.
