Featuring mountain views, Panoramic View Guest House offers accommodation with patio, around 45 km from Zaravina lake. The property features garden and city views.

We absolutely loved our stay at this guest house and wish we had booked two nights. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The view from our balcony was absolutely stunning. Lovely breakfast, lots of selection and the most delicious warm doughnuts! The whole place is extremely clean and well presented. Lots of lovely fruit, veg and herbs growing. Small fridge in the room stocked with beer, wine, water and raki! Very well priced. Would 100% stay again if ever back in Gjorkester.

Boasting river views, Guest House Argjiro Castle provides accommodation with patio, around 43 km from Zaravina lake.

We loved our stay in Guest House Argjiro Castle. The location is excellent, very near the castle and the old town and our room had a breathtaking view into the Gjirokaster Castle and Nemerçka mountain. The owners were extremely welcoming and attentive to our needs, they greeted us warmly. When we checked out, they gave us plentyl of oranges, lemons and apples from their trees.

Boasting mountain views, Braja House is situated in Gjirokastër, around 44 km from Zaravina lake. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge.

Modern accommodation options are mushrooming up in Albania all the time, so Braja House offers a rare chance to experience a beautiful historic home. The breakfast/family room is like a living museum and a wonder to behold. The room itself looks a little like an extension that was added to what is like a rambling home. It's comfortable and beautifully decorated with a private bathroom. There are also very atmospheric views of the city from there. The hospitality is doled out by the woman of the house and her husband. There will be a quick shot of gliko and Raki on arrival with great fanfare. They have no English, but the warmth of the welcome doesn't diminish as they make themselves understood. Their fluent grandson Bjant helps coordinate the visit remotely via phone, and his mother also has good English. Breakfast is in the dream setting of their family room and is a generous mix of savory and sweet.

Boasting pool views, TeArra GuestHouse features accommodation with balcony, around 44 km from Zaravina lake. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio.

The place had an amazing view of the mountains and the castle. Despite the language barrier the staff was really helpful and friendly. It has private parking but it is a one way garage so you may need to coordinate with other guests in order not to be able to leave. The surrounding area (Old city and the castle) is really nice and accessible on foot and if you need a place to eat we highly recommend Taverna Tradicionale KARDHASHI (both the food and the staff are amazing)

    Amazing view from the balcony, lovely host family, very clean room, new facilities, comfy bed, great value, onsite parking (not on the steep hill which is rare for Gjirokastër!), good location, (about 10 min walk to main area of Old Town (but up hill) and without car/motorbike it might be quite hard from the bus station as also all up hill, but this is the case with the whole of Gjirokastër).

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    Great host family! They take super good care of you and will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. They can also cook you breakfast and make coffee for a very reasonable fee. This hostel has all you need. Clean toilets, nice dining area and awesome terrace to enjoy a coffee. Beds and pillows are super comfy. The location is great, just a 2 minite stroll uphill to the bazaar and all the shops and restaurants, or a 5 minute downhill walk to town.
