Vacation rentals with breakfast in Vlorë County

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.

Das Häuschen ist gemütlich. Wir haben gerne auf der Terrasse gefrühstückt. Sokol ist sehr freundlich, antwortet schnell. Vor Ort wurden wir von Margarita empfangen und sehr herzlich behandelt. Es gab Probleme mit dem Wasser, das ist für ein paar Stunden ausgefallen, aber alle haben sich bemüht dass es uns wenig Umstände bereitet und es wurde sich sehr schnell gekümmert. Begrüßt wurden wir mit Trauben und Kaki aus dem Garten.

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!

Ci ha accolto la madre di Anna che anche non parlando la nostra lingua è stata super carina e disponibile in tutto. È stato come essere a casa di nonna. Ci sono 3 bagni e la cucina molto grande per mangiare tutti insieme. Giardino accogliente con tanti gattini. Posizione top per spostarsi nella regione di himare (la più bella per spiagge). Lontano da caos e movida perfetta per chi vuole una location rilassata e carina. Ristoranti molto buoni nei dintorni.

Super welcoming people, they did everything in their power to make me feel comfortable, great communication from the host as well.The apto was very clean and had more than enough space, all good, not so close to the city center as I expected but the forest nearby definitely pays off.Plus the addition of bicycles in my stay was superb 👌

Gospodarz zadbał o komfort pobytu. Komunikacja przebiegała sprawnie. Było dużo spokoju, mimo niewielkiej odległości od centrum.

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!

L’alloggio è situato su una collina con vista, molto tranquillo e gli host sono simpaticissimi e molto reattivi. Sicuramente una buona scelta

El apartamento muy cómodo perfecto para una pareja o hasta 3 personas, todo muy ordenado, la anfitriona disponible cuando le escribía, lo único que podría decir es respecto al estacionamiento que realmente no hay pero veo q es un problema general en todo Sarande, a unos pasos del departamento hay un estacionamiento de pago, no es lo ideal, pero está cerca, departamento se encuentra muy bien ubicados, nuestra estancia fue muy agradable, seguramente lo recomiendo

Fantastisk ophold. Fine værelser som var totalt rene. Får min varmeste anbefaling. Værten var rigtig sød til at komme med gode forslag til hvad vi skulle bruge vores tid på i Albanien.

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.

Amazing stay, easy check in, friendly, clean and he even brought us breakfast to the bed!

Mein Airbnb-Aufenthalt war großartig! Die Unterkunft war sauber, gemütlich und genau wie beschrieben. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich würde definitiv wiederkommen!

We received a warm welcome from Sperios with a glass of Reiki. The property is his family home which has totally been renovated with views across the bay and up to the mountains . My favourite part was breakfast underneath the walnut tree with chickens in the garden . Booked for one night and stayed for three. Spiros did everything he could to make us feel welcome, great host, fabulous scenery, best part of the holiday so far. I wish him All the best of luck with his new venture.

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

Le logement : impeccable et vraiment beau avec de belles moulures en bois. Très typique et très agréable. Les hôtes : j ai rarement vu des gens si sympathiques. On était perdus dans la ville, ils sont venus nous chercher. Toujours à votre service. Vraiment de chouettes personnes. Et ils ont un excellent restaurant pour pas cher du tout (+/- 20€ pour deux personnes)
