The view at breakfast was amazing, the owners were very friendly and i was greeted with a juice and a pastry on arrival. Their dog was also very cute.

There was no heater in my room, and as we went in winter, it got quite cold at night. Just ask for a heater and they will provide it. Berat the city is all hills, so there's a LOT of uphill and downhill walking for everything. So if you're not used to that or are not fit or healthy, it can take some effort.

One of the BEST 'Bed and Breakfast' experiences in my life. This property has breathtaking views from its terraces, and is a very homely, cosy and well maintained family home that has been built to help tourists experience a more authentic version of Berat in Albania. The owner Aleksander and his lovely wife were extremely friendly and helpful. She makes the breakfast herself, fresh, every morning for you. They use fresh mandarins they grow themselves, for ingredients. Additionally, the city center is a mere 2 min walk from the hotel. The room is large enough for a B&B, with a queen size bed and thick blankets as well as a mini fridge. The bathroom is excellent. NOTE: The area is all uphill and downhill, and the parking is a slight walk from the property, so pack ONE case with the essentials you need for a stay in this hotel and you'll be fine carrying it up to the property. You can leave the rest in the car.

It was a bit confusing to arrive. The hotel is behind a bank which is also so beautiful that doesn’t seem like a bank but rather like another hotel.. so we failed to see the bank… therefore it was impossible to find the hotel without the owner coming to rescue us. He came for us and then it was okay. Also we understood that he was offering free parking but actually he means there’s a free city parking somewhere near by… we could park paying 2EUR in a space owned by another family. Also, we ordered a glass of wine and didn’t ask for the price so we were a bit surprised to pay 8EUR a glass, it was worth it because it was very good, but maybe ask for the options and the price before ordering. The bed was a bit bend in the middle so not 100% comfortable. Other than that everything was really nice.

The hotel is just beautiful. We were astonished with everything. Super clean as well. The view is also unique and the host is super super nice and very polite. We were happy with our stay and recommend 100%

The owners went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The breakfast with the accompanying view, the wine served in the evenings and the comfortable, clean room were all very much appreciated. Thank you!

Hauling our bags up from the street. But the owner and his helper made it easier.

It is unfortunate to be up high in the city of a thousand windows and stay in a dark room with no view after having booked four months in advance and making a request. However, the hotel itself is attractive, clean and well organized, the owner is very friendly and helpful, the viewing patio areas on top are beautifully done, the breakfast is excellent, the location is great and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Minus: breakfast is disappointing despite nice plating of fresh fruit and cheese. There is no menu or variation over the two days we stayed.The host just brings several different breakfast items - cake, bread, jam, honey, the ubiquitous Albanian breakfast pancake, hard boiled egg.. The coffee is of very poor quality, no espresso machine, tea is in teabags (no teapots), processed fruit juice, no choice of egg preparation,only hard boiled eggs which are over boiled with blueish sulfide around the yolk.Cake tastes like it is from a mix with added sprinkle of confectioners (icing) sugar. If you don't enjoy walking up steps or steep roads this hotel might be challenging.

Ideally located within easily walkable distance between the castle and the promenade. Plus: The hotel is lovely, spread out over different levels, traditionally furnished, very clean, with a very comfortable bed, good shower (but only an after eight mint size soap for two days) in a new bathroom. It is run by a friendly and helpful host-owner more like a bed and breakfast as the only staff is the owner and one other it seems. Rooms have fridge, drinking glasses but no kettle or comps (e.g. tea).Breakfast area in Sept. is on open terrace with beautiful view of Berat. There is no dedicated parking but the owner refers you to his acquaintance who charges a nominal fee. The host also helps with luggage as the hotel has no elevator and is located on a steep hill. Nonetheless it is a charming hotel run by an attentive owner, good value for money despite the disappointing breakfast.

Having breakfast at the terrace of this hotel is a real delight. I don’t think there is a better place with better views then Aleksanders. We we’re amazed by the beauty of the hotel. Thanks again!

Parking is difficult outside but of no fault of the property

Very welcoming and friendly owners, perfect views from the terrace. Good breakfast, very comfy beds with the softest bed sheets! Good location, walking distance to all sights.

Very kind host, thanks to Mr. Aleksander and his family. The terraces are full of well-groomed flowers, and the owner's desire to make the space as pleasant as possible is clearly visible The Villa is located in the historical quarter of the beautiful city, the proud name of Berat. We are sorry because we only stayed one day, next time we will stay longer.

Everything was perfect

A fantastic historic house in Mangalem district in Berat. Amazing balcony with a breathtaking view on the old city. Very kind and professional family staff. A truly magic place

There isn’t really anything bad to say. Maybe just that the ac unit could have been a little more powerful but in the end we opened the windows and got a nice breeze which was more than enough.

Location was excellent and the room was fantastic. Breakfast far exceeded expectations. The property itself is magical. The best part was the people who owned/ran it. Aleksander and his wife were extremely welcoming and friendly and did whatever they could to make our stay wonderful. As a male couple this was very much appreciated in a country where this isn’t always the situation. Thankyou!

Difficult parking; Difficult to have breakfast because of too much bees flying around the food;

Very large and beautiful room; The hotel is just in the middle of the medieval city centre ; The place, that has also a magnificent terrace, is beautiful, built in 5 years from the owners themselves, using the typical stone of Berat;

A bit of miscommunication about our booking but that got resolved. Make sure you gave cash, the hotel doesn’t accept cards.

Beautiful, charming hotel. It’s in a great location and is spotlessly clean. Owners were very helpful - they arranged wine tasting, taxis and helped us secure bus tickets.

Only be aware of the FEW steps to reach the hotel but honestly super super doable! You can temporarily park the car very close by, drop the bags and then go parking down the road.

Very clean room in a nice central location. Good breakfast with a view overlooking Berat. Overall a recommended experience for your stay in the area.

The room - especially 3 beds room - small, but 1 - 2 night is ok. No shower cabin in the 3 beds room. The parking and manage the luggages with 3 children it was really challenging.

Beautiful historical buildings in the old city. The view from the terrace fantastic! Great position to visit the old town.

It's a wonderful accommodation with a very kind and helpful owner. Alexander and his wife made this two nights a great experience for us. It's incredible how they have build this beautiful hotel. Would definitely come back.

The old guy in the stairs does not work for the hotel. He will help you with the bags, and ask for money. Not bad, just good to know when you arrive.

The room was really nice and clean. Big bathroom and comfortable bed. The view of the balcony is amazing and a great place to have a drink from. The owners are the nicest people in Albania and made sure the stay was perfect. They also have the happiest dog in the world :)

A beautiful and traditional heritage house with 350 years of history, which has been restored lovingly by the owners. Gorgeous views of Berat from the breakfast area as well as it's own garden with orange, lemon, fig and other fruit trees. Great location too and very welcoming owners. I loved it!

Aleksander is a lovely and kind host. The hotel has the two terraces with a great view over Berat. The hotel is already five generations in Aleksander’s family and he did a wonderful job renovating it keeping the old style, but also making it modern (e.g. airco, nice bathrooms etc). We loved it here!

This is a real gem! The guesthouse is hidden in the heart of Berat (might even be difficult to find the entrance but someone will definitely show you the way) and offers a beautiful view of the city. The owners are very kind, and despite the fact that they could not prepare dinner due to an electricity shortage, their sweet little daughter suggested a very good address where we spent a lovely evening! Thank you!
