Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Gjirokastër

Very welcoming hosts. Their son Kladji, not present, speaks French and informed us perfectly to prepare for our arrival. Violetta offered us coffee every morning and Miro raki. Accommodation with 2 beds in the living room and 2 in the bedroom (only air-conditioned but it was enough to diffuse fresh air), bathroom and equipped kitchen. Mosquito nets and shutters. Beautifully flowered house with a beautiful lawn amid the centuries-old olive trees of Borsh, 700 m from the beach (15 min walk) and the village (and 1 hour from the citadel). Very quiet, just the sound of the bells of the herds in the maquis! With a nice dog Nino (who followed me in the bush when I went to the village: a neighbor called Violetta to have her husband come and get him!) and 1 cat. We had dinner the night before in Borsh's beautiful restaurant on landscaped waterfalls. Ideally located near the most beautiful beaches and villages of the Riviera (Qeparo, Pilur, Himarë...).

Incredibly beautiful place! Very hospitable host and family. You can walk to beach and into town (easy walk if you are active, if mobility issues it would be best to drive), we enjoyed the walk! Gorgeous and would love to visit again!

Wonderful, clean apartment with amazing views away from the bustle of Serende. Kevi and family were extremely welcoming and helpful and made us feel right at home during our stay.

Everything was perfect! Thank you very much!

A perfect place - especialy for traditional, rural style lovers. Quiet and nice. The beds are very clean and comfortable. The way to the beach is rather difficult to walk. Theodora is very kind and helpful. When she is not around, her neighbours Felleza and Mili care for the place and are willing to help.

Excellent stay! The host and her mother were incredibly kind and responsive to all our needs. Also you can’t beat the location- close to boardwalk and the port. Highly recommended

Wonderful place, host and family. I was entirely comfortable as a solo traveler and the host and her family were welcoming and kind. Would recommend this apartment to everyone if you like a good view :)

The place was great. We had a house, a small backyard. Everything was clean and cozy. The landlord took perfect care of us, he brought us vegetables from the garden, figs, eggs, langoš...top. I was missing some cooking utensils in the kitchen, like a spoon, a ladle, but we managed. Good location, who wants to have peace and countryside and it's not far to Saranda, great location for trips.

A Perfect Nature Escape with Private Pool I recently had the pleasure of staying at this villa, and it was an absolute dream! Tucked away in nature, this property is a hidden gem for anyone seeking tranquility, comfort, and a stunning natural setting. The villa itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a modern yet cozy touch. The large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery, and the open-plan layout makes it feel light and airy. Every room feels connected to nature, and you really get the sense of being in a secluded paradise. The private pool is the highlight! Perfectly maintained and surrounded by trees, it’s the ideal spot for a refreshing swim or just lounging by the water. We spent hours there, soaking in the peaceful environment. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area where we enjoyed meals, with the sounds of nature all around.

a nice apartment with a beautiful view. I can recommend it without any problems 🙂

The place was clean and exceeded our expectations!

My stay at Diamond in Saranda was nothing short of incredible! From the moment I arrived, Lefteris, the host, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was incredibly welcoming, always available for any questions, and provided fantastic recommendations to make the most of my time in Saranda. The apartment itself is a gem! It’s impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Do yourself a favour and visit Diamond apartment.

We had a great stay at Giannoula's apartment!everything was spotless and the host very helpful and we had great communication! Accessible all on foot, near the port of Agioi Saranta and the pool area dreamy! Important was also the private underground parking space in an area where it was difficult to find parking on the surrounding streets. We would definitely recommend it!

We loved our stay in Sarandë and the apartment was clean, very well located with loads of nice restaurants and cafes around. The sunset from the balcony was amazing.

the appartment was even better than we exspected it also had a nice terrasse with a pool you can't see on the picture

The house is located in the mountain village of Upper Qeparo, which can be reached by car via a bumpy, winding road. The last approx. 100 m must be covered on a steep stone path on foot - you should be reasonably fit for that. The location of the property has a great view of the sea all the way to Corfu. The house is fully furnished and well equipped. Especially nice is the outdoor area with 2 terraces and a small pool. Eraldi is a perfect host who was always easily accessible and gave us many tips for our stay. In the village, there are 2 nice, rustic places, otherwise it is very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay in Upper Qeparo.

Klejdi is a very friendly and welcoming host. We slept in the house for one night. It is a nice big house with all the facilities. The old town centre is a 10-minute walk away, without too much elevation. In short, a perfect house for a family and at a good price.

amazing and super friendly host. The apartment was clean and for the low price totally fine (:

Was a lovely stay! Definitely recommend if looking for somewhere peaceful, quiet and price for what you get is great!! Thank you again

Right above the Gjirokaster Bazaar and restaurants. Beautiful historic town to find tranquility. Place was amazing with a kitchen to cook and plenty of space to feel right at home.

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!

Very nice apartment with a great host who helped us a lot when we had car trouble
