"Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und war zu jeder Zeit erreichbar. Als wir die Wohnung nicht auf Anhieb fanden, hat er uns mit einem Videocall hingeführt. Die Wohnung liegt in der oberen Etage und ist über Treppen erreichbar.Sie ist nicht sonderlich groß, man hat aber alles, was man braucht: Bad mit Waschmaschine und Dusche, gut ausgestattete Küche, Schlafzimmer und einen kleinen Balkon mit Tisch und Stühlen.Leider gab es keinen Parkplatz, der zur Wohnung gehörte. Wir haben ein paar hundert...

"We found the property without any difficulties. Lenica greeted us at the gate when we pressed the buzzer and gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. Throughout our stay she regularly checked in to see if everything was fine and gave recommendations on places to visit. Her entire family were friendly and welcoming and her mother even gave us gifts of food on occasion incuding on arrival which was very much appreciated.

"The apartment has a window overlooking the sea and very good air conditioning. It also has a large fridge, a small two-ring hob and a microwave. The apartment is only a 2-minute walk from the beach and about 5 minutes from a long promenade full of small shops and restaurants. It is also around a 20-minute walk from the port terminal, where the ferries from Corfu arrive.
The owner, Majki, was very helpful and available throughout our stay whenever we needed anything. He also kindly allowed us to...

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was our best lodging during our time in Albania. The host met us upon arrival and walked us through the place. It felt very homey. We liked that it was a bit out of the hubbub of Gjirokastër but close enough to be convenient. The washer was a huge plus and came in handy and we hung the clothes out to dry like the locals. The check-out process was simple. I definitely recommend this place for your visit to Gjirokastër."

"The hosts were incredibly kind. We received a gift from the owners and were welcomed warmly. So sad we had to leave! The accommodation was also super new and had everything we needed. It was clean, spacious, central, great food places and super market on walking distance!"

"We loved our stay at Velco, friendly staff, clean, affordable, great location - walking distance from the town center, fantastic sunsets from the balcony, and the food in the restaurant downstairs was 10/10. Would recommend and love to stay here again."
"The location is excellent, right off the main promenade. The property is quaint, well-maintained, and full of charm. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were perfectly adequate for a couple of nights.
We had a rear-facing balcony; however, each floor also had beautifully decorated common seating areas where you could relax, watch the sunset, enjoy views of the beach, or simply do some people-watching.
Breakfast was included and offered a good selection of options. Overall, we felt it was great value for the money.
My only suggestion for improvement would be parking convenience. Free street parking is very limited, so we opted to pay for parking about 500 metres up the road."
"Incredible location and it felt really special to be in the old village squares. Spa was great and the hike down to the (amazing) beaches and back wasnt as strenuous as it first appeared. The only issue was that the restaurant food was disappointing and overpriced, but the breakfast was great."
"Victoria was a great help to us, always with a smile. The location was wonderful, quick access to the sea. The morning breakfasts were delectable. Perhaps the building itself needs some attention and upgrades. Overall, we had a wonderful time. I’d recommend it."
"The cutest little hotel/inn with the sweetest staff! We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but ended up adding a third and cancelling our other property. The owners were so kind and helpful. They gave us some extra blankets and fresh towels every day. The lady who cleaned our room lives there, and she was also super sweet. There was a common space balcony that had a STUNNING view where my friend and I took photos, ate breakfast and snacks, and sat to watch sunset and sunrise. I think it’s a great location. 8 minute walk from the bus stop where we arrived and departed from. 2 minute walk to restaurants and the main strip. Overall had an amazing experience."
"20 minutes walk from the sea front, 2 minutes walk to the bus stop for Sarandë, 2 minutes walk from a mini supermarket.
Large room, large comfortable bed, aircon that works included in the price, good bathroom and shower, balcony with table chairs ash's a view, fridge, towels changed regularly. Has a unique lift that doesn't go to all floors so double check if you have a wheelchair etc.
Nothing to complain about; perfectly adequate in all respects; would start again."
"Our favorite stay during our trip to Albania! Everyone was so kind and made our trip incredible. The restaurant is amazing as is the food and the views! 11/10 would recommend!"
