Vacation rentals with breakfast in Gjirokastër County

Although we arrived in the evening when it was dark already, Bjants mom took the time to give us a wonderful welcome, including some homemade treats in the impressive living room. The bedroom was cosy and tasteful with a comfy bed and everything you need. It was clean and the lovely grandmother served us a nice breakfast in the morning. It was a special experience to stay in such an old and traditional house and be hosted by Bjants family. Bjant was available at all times, replying instantly to any questions we had. FYI, turn the shower fixture to the right for a hot shower ;) Thanks and all the best to you and your family, Franzi & Anna

An exceptional Airbnb stay! The hosts are welcoming & make you feel like home. The experience was perfect because of the couple who made us feel like part of the family. The breakfast was delicious. The views from the terrace and the room are breathtaking. The room cosy & clean. The location is close to the castle & the old bazaar but do prepare for some walking up & down hills as that’s part of the beauty of Gjirokastër. We recommend this stay to anyone visiting the city & hope to be back next year!

DON'T hesitate...book. this place is unreal. It is so unique. The little touches and the ambiance set this place apart. The host is amazing. So very accommodating.

I had a great time and if I were to return to the area I would definitely consider coming back here. The accommodation is near the center of Permet, there are the main amenities and the location is quiet. Shanas' grandmother welcomed us, a delightful person who speaks only Albanian. There were minor glitches, plumbing issues, and no blinds or curtains for the night. As negligible things , overall the judgment remains very positive . Thanks and see you next time

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!

We were welcomed by Anna's mother who even when we didn't speak our language was super nice and available in everything. It was like being at a grandmother's place. There are 3 bathrooms and the kitchen is very large to eat together. Cozy garden with lots of kittens. Top location for getting around the hymare region (the most beautiful for beaches). Away from chaos and the perfect nightlife for those who want a relaxed and cute location. Very good restaurants nearby.

super nice reception, nice room with a fantastic view of the castle and the center. Delicious breakfast . Highly recommended for those who want to stay in Gjirokaster for 2 days!

My family had a great time in Saranda, this house was perfect place to stay to be close to everything! You will need a car to explore the are, there is so much to see. Our hosts were very kind family and welcomed us for our stay. The house is very clean and have everything you need to feel at home during your trip. We appreciate the local recommendations, easy communication and privacy during our stay. Amazing place with great host family!

Thanks to our hosts (probably Bledar's parents) who welcomed us with a smile despite our changes in arrival time! Despite the language barrier we managed to understand each other thanks to exchanges with the children! We had a power outage in the evening that was quickly resolved with the family's full efforts. The little extra: it's the hearty breakfast that's not mentioned in the listing but is prepared with care in the morning! Thank you all

The place is very clean and comfortable. It is easy to find thanks attached pictures and park a car (for free). Description of the listing and pictures reflects this place. The bed is huge and comfortable. We spent there 1 night, I recommend this place

Great place to stay, close to center, the house has everything you need, easy parking nearby walking distance from the beach! Super recommend the apartment! Malgorzata was always super responsive and available for all the questions I had! She also gave us great recommendations on what to do during our stay.

Great place,good location, friendly owners, very good conditions. Have a great vacation. We recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic hospitality from Irsida and her family for our stay in Gjirokastër. Amazing views out across the valley and mountains. Within 15 minutes you can walk to the old town. The breakfast really sets this place apart.

Gjirokaster is a great town. The people are so welcoming and it's full of atmosphere. This is an amazing place to stay, with stunning views and a homely feel. Our host was amazing. Her garden and organic breakfast is magnificent. If you arrive by bus, it's best to get a 5 euro cab up and then walk to the castle and old town.

This was a wonderful experience and one of my favorite stays. Irsida and her family were so kind and hospitable, always quick to reply to any questions or concerns. The room was immaculate, and the view from the balcony was amazing. It’s a 15 min walk to the old town which was nice because we enjoyed staying somewhere calm with a beautiful view and exploring the local streets. Irsida and her husband offered a delicious traditional breakfast that was a highlight on our trip. Absolutely recommend and hope to one day stay again at Irsida’s place.

Overall, it's good, the price is reasonable, the accommodation is in an old apartment building, the host and his mother entertained us warmly, thank you for picking me up at the station with my heavy luggage, the room has a private balcony, you can also dry your clothes, shared bathroom, clean! Good internet! The mother also prepared breakfast and juice for me for two days! Thank you! The only thing that's not great is that it's a little noisy outside, so you need to wear earplugs when you sleep!

Great stay, clean rooms, friendly host and beautiful view. Highly Recommended!

The owners were incredibly friendly, their hospitality was outstanding. We felt very safe and welcome.

The accommodation: impeccable and really beautiful with beautiful wooden moldings. Very typical and very pleasant. Hosts: I've rarely seen such friendly people. We were lost in the city, they came to pick us up. Always at your service Really nice people. And they have a great restaurant for cheap at all (+/- 20€ for two people)
