Elsa's Villa

"Schönes Zimmer, tolles, frisches Frühstück. Wir haben abends immer etwas Obst bekommen und Saft von der sehr freundlichen und herzlichen Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns über Google translate mit ihr verständig, das klappte sehr gut. Es gibt einen kleinen Hund, der ganz lieb ist. Ein schöner Aufenthalt für uns, wir würden es empfehlen."

"Lovely little home stay, with a private bathroom. Amazing views of the mountains and the host has been super friendly and sweet. Perfect place if you're looking to get away from the busyness and want a relaxing mountain visit. If you're visiting to see the old town and the castle, then prepare to be walking a lot and with a lot of hills."

"There's no shower curtain or door around the shower, so the entire bathroom gets wet when someone showers."

"View from terrace is AMAZING! It's worth staying there just for the view itself. Breakfast is very tasty and served on terrace. Host is very kind and welcoming, she provides driving directions."

"getting there is a challenge - do not go via Google Maps directions - you'll end up on a scary, coarse, dead end hill dirt road. Wait for directions from the host. Still, it was fun and part of the Albanian adventure."

"Perfect stay for solo travelers! The property is in a peaceful village with stunning mountain views. The host, a lovely mother and daughter, were very welcoming. The mother’s homemade Albanian dinner was absolutely delicious, and breakfast was great too. Though the mother doesn’t speak English, her daughter was always available on WhatsApp. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay😊"

"Accommodation was a bit tricky to find. Google maps isn't great. Accommodation is very clean and tidy and Elsa's mother who hosted us is very nice. Views were spectacular and inclusive breakfast was tasty. If you want authentic Albanian hospitality the stay here. About 30 mins walk from Gjirocasker Castle"

"Not going to nit pick"

"Owners are really nice and the daughter supports them with the communication. She was always available via Whatsapp and wrote us in English. We got fruits from the garden and we could use the washing machine (short program, 30 min, 4 euros)."

"Small things: Roosters directly under the balcony of the room, that wake you up early in the morning. The dog was fixed with a short chain during the day, that he does not chase the chicken. Chickens were in a outside area. Would be good to have a fence on the backside, that the dog could be free. You hear the big road down the mountain."

"The host was super friendly, even though she couldn’t speak English. Her daughter was always reachable on WhatsApp. We felt very comfortable and were also welcomed with fresh fruit from the garden. You need 30 min to reach the center of the city by foot. That’s totally doable."

"The street to get to the property is a little bumpy, but we were already used to those kind of streets in Albania. :)"

"If you want to have a traditional experience and stay in a clean accommodation with cosy vibes, this is the place to be. Elsa’s mum welcomed us with some fruits out of her garden and provided us with a lovely breakfast. She’s doesn’t understand English, but she tries her best to communicate with you the best she can. We felt very welcome and taken care of. Besides that Elsa replies really fast to your messages and is very helpful. It’s a 30 min walk to the city centre, but we didn’t mind because it makes the accommodation more peaceful and quiet and it gave us the opportunity to see more of the city."

"The hen woke us up a couple of times in the morning. So if you need a natural alarm, it’s perfect😂"
