Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Gjirokastër

We cannot say enough about this apartment and the host's grandparents who live below the unit. The space was roomy and clean and very comfortable, with outstanding views off the bedroom balcony. We were within easy walking distance of Old Town and New Town and all of teh great restaurants in Gjirokaster. Simon's relatives invited us for drinks and dessert one night and we spent over an hour laughing and sharing stories, all through Google translate as we do not speak Albanian. They then brought us freshly baked donuts the night before we left. Their hospitality was extraordinary!

Really enjoyed our stay here. good location. easy to walk to all areas Kristina was great and helpful and always on hand. area has good restaurants and coffee shops. property was clear and met the expectations. local people are also really nice and friendly. would stay again A+++++

Eine tolle und schöne Wohnung direkt unterhalb der Burg. Leider waren wir nur eine Nacht da und damit zu kurz, um die vielen Möglichkeiten zu erkunden. Die Wohnung ist wirklich groß und toll geschnitten. Dazu ist sie sehr nett eingerichtet und die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Besonders schön ist der große Balkon über zwei Seiten, mit einer tollen Aussicht und wunderbarer Morgensonne. Es ist am besten Richtung Stadion zu fahren und von dort in die „Rruga Doktor Vasil Laboviti“ einzubiegen. Für uns war es zunächst schwierig, die Wohnung zu finden. Positiv hervorheben möchte ich auch, dass wir mit zwei Autos vor der Tür parken konnten. Wir kommen gerne nochmal und dann gerne auch länger.

Les hôtes étaient très accueillants, ils ont été réactifs par message. La vue du balcon est incroyable.

very nice place. traditional. a special stay

Our family of four stayed one night on Thimjo's & Rita's Gues House in Gjirokaster, Albania, and cannot express enough how satisfied we are with our stay. Great compliments to Rania, who is a super host! This rental unit is located in a very convenient location, only one-minute walk from the Pazar! Everything was of excellent quality! The cleanliness of the entire unit was perfect. The structure and layout of the facility is great, with spacious and comfortable beds and with super nice views from the windows and balconies. The arrangement of furniture is with super nice taste. The last but not the least, Rania is a great host! She cares very much for her customers and is always reachable and responsive to all the inquiries. We left that rental unit with a very "warm and good feeling" about this place! Well done!

Don't think about it. Just book this place now! This was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. I was staying in Sarande at a hotel prior to booking this place. The hotel was great but I wanted something closer to the REAL Albania. I found it here. I was actually surprised that I found this place on Airbnb. It was old school Airbnb...where someone opens up their home to you and you are able to experience the hospitality of the host or hostess. It's not your typical Airbnb place either. This is a typical family farm that is found in so many places in eastern Europe. It is not the kind of farm you would find in Canada or the US that are hundred of acres in size. The home is situated on about 0.5 acres or 0.2 hectares of land surrounded by the typical rock walls you find surrounding many homes in Albania. What kind of animals do you find here? Chickens, sheep, goats, rabbits and even ducks. Yes, there is a garden for vegetables and grape vines throughout the property. Please don't think this a petting zoo farm... this is a working family farm that provides food for the family and you if you stay here. It is a modest home that has been in the family for many years, it is on a plot of land that has provided the food and shelter for the family for countless generations. I have nothing but enormous respect for the hostess and her family. It was the kind of home that my parents grew up in Ukraine. This is what attracted me to this place. These people are salt of the earth. Humble, happy and proud. Respect. I could write a short book about my stay here. To sum up, it was wonderful. I have stayed at my fair share of Airbnb places, but this is my most favorite place ever. I did not want to leave and I do plan to return and stay much longer than the ~10 days I was there. What are the highlights of my visit? 1. The hostess Alexandra and her dear mother. Real people. 2. Coffee with fresh goat milk every morning. Yes, it's that good. 3. The sunrise in the valley. Breathtaking. 4. The amazing hikes up the mountain and in through the valley. There are so many ruins and hidden cool places to discover. 5. Taking the goats and sheep grazing in the morning. Yes I did that!!! 6. I'm not going to give it all away...book this place and I'll let you discover all the wonderful things here on your own. Alexandra and her mother don't speak English. This was not a problem at all. I downloaded the microsoft translator to my phone. It allows two people to communicate back and forth at the push of a button. It made communicating with the hostess very easy. I had many wonderful conversations with Alexandra and her dear mother many times using this translator. So you will be just fine. Look... this is a farm. It smells like a farm where the animals live and it has bugs...get over it. If you are looking for Disney World or the Ritz Carlton...look somewhere else. This place is perfect the way it is and I will be returning in the near future. The apartment is clean and well equipped. The internet works great. My cell phone worked just fine. It has a great stove for cooking and a washing machine to wash your clothes. It has a TV, but why would you watch TV when you are in such a wonderful environment to explore? There are places to buy groceries to cook food...OR...you can arrange with Alexandra to prepare meals for you each day. That is what I did. Breakfast and dinner. So I didn't have to cook or buy anything extra to survive. It's up to you. I chose to eat home cooked food from the farm...how can you beat that??? There is so much more to say...but... Don't think about it. Just book this place now!

Alfred begrüßte uns persönlich und war zu jeder Zeit schnell erreichbar, die Lage ist nahezu perfekt, ruhig, aber trotzdem mittendrin, es geht kaum besser! Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen :)

i had a good time staying at bruno's house everything was okay the apartment was clean everything like in the photos.

Orlando responds fast, friendly and with efficiency. The apartment is located next to the busstation and easy to get a local bus to the Bazar. Clean apartment with airco 🫠 good price-quality!

Großzügige, frisch renovierte und vor allem sehr ruhige Wohnung in einem Neubauviertel. Nur zehn Minuten zu Fuß vom Busbahnhof entfernt; 20 bis 25 Minuten sind es ins Zentrum der Altstadt. Supermarkt im Haus. Flexibler Check-in dank Schlüsselbox. Mir hat auch gefallen, dass Zucker, Öl und Gewürze vorhanden waren.

Alfred is a wonderful host. The house has a stunning view and very cozy. Will be back!

Merci à nos hôtes (probablement les parents de Bledar) qui nous ont accueilli avec le sourire malgré nos changements d'horaire d'arrivée ! malgré la barrière de la langue nous avons réussi à nous comprendre grâce à des échanges avec les enfants ! Nous avons eu une coupure d'électricité dans la soirée qui a très vite été résolu avec tous les efforts de la famille. Le petit plus : c'est le petit déjeuner copieux qui n'est pas mentionné dans l'annonce mais qui est préparé aux petits soins le matin ! Merci à vous tous

Andreas Mama hat uns in diesem wunderschönen historischen Haus willkommen geheißen. Trotz Sprachbarriere war sie extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war niedlich eingerichtet und der Balkon lad zum verweilen ein. Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt: ruhig und trotzdem sehr nah an der Altstadt, wo das Leben tobt. Einziges Manko: das Bett ist sehr hart.

Megi’s place was outstanding. It was spacious, spotless, very well equipped and very comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were useful as was the laundry room, which we made full use of. You can walk up the hill to the castle and better than trying to negotiate a car, or in our case push bicycles. I highly recommend this property. It is perfect.

I had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The location was excellent – right in the heart of the city, allowing me to walk everywhere. Shops and supermarkets were just around the corner, and I always found parking available right outside the property. The area was very quiet, thanks to the independent entrance, which provided extra privacy. The apartment was spotless and the kitchen fully equipped with everything I needed. The sheets smelled incredibly fresh and clean, which made the stay even more pleasant. I especially enjoyed having my morning coffee on the convenient and cozy balcony. If I had to mention one small downside, it would be the absence of a welcome bottle of water or wine in the fridge, which would have been a nice touch. Other than that, everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend it!

The apartment has a mindblowing view over Corfu and is very modern and spacious. We enjoyed our stay a lot! However the building is not ready yet and there were construction workers right next to the apartment and some days they were yelling and drilling so loud our baby couldn’t sleep inside. We also heard some noice from drunk neighbours in the middle of the night in the swimming pool.

The apartment was lovely and very well equipped for longer stays. Location was amazing as well and so close to the front.

We really enjoyed our stay. He has a desk in the apartment allowing us to both remote work. He is very responsive and we would book again . Clean, convenient and ready for remote working.

Appartement super, très fonctionnel et moderne. Avec une super vue. Xhulio est très accueillant et réactif. Attention, avoir une voiture sur place est très recommandé car assez loin du centre-ville à pieds.

Zeker een aanrader! Erg mooi appartement, vriendelijke prijs! Zag er nieuw uit! Mooi uitzicht over de stad en zee. Beneden bij de bistro kun je ook fijn zitten en ontbijten. Aardige mensen!

Deze locatie is vrij dichtbij het centrum en heeft direct zeezicht. Wij zijn in het naseizoen gegaan (begin november). Het was dan ook erg rustig. Er zijn wat beachclubs direct aan de kust maar hier hebben wij vanwege sluiting geen last van gehad.

Ridi was.a great host. He provided useful information right up front, and checked in during my stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The person who checked me in generously provided some oilive oil and coffee. The balcony is lovely and the location is walking distance to most of the popular spots. It was great being in a more neighborhood setting. Having a dedicated parking space was amazing. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at Grigor’s apartment in Saranda! The highlight was definitely the rooftop terrace—absolutely stunning views of the sea and the town, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the water and within easy walking distance of all the best restaurants and bars. It was lively in the evenings, but that’s part of the charm of Saranda—and thankfully, everything quiets down by midnight, so getting a good night’s sleep wasn’t an issue at all. Check-in and check-out were incredibly smooth—no hassle whatsoever, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Saranda
