The location was great, an old house on the narrow streets of the old town, classically furnished, as I expected, almost everything vintage, but with taste. For us, the problem was the heavy rain and cold that prevented us from seeing this...

Very interesting old house in an excellent location. Close to things, but quiet. Parking and driving is tricky, but to even have a parking place in Ghirokaster is exceptional.

A really cool way to experience Gjirokaster. You really are staying in the 1800’s. Fun to light a fire and keep warm . The place is big and really a unique experience.

The house is spacious, with lots and lots of old world charm. Our hostess was close-by, kind and attentive. The location is excellent - the house is in old town half way up the hill. Go up to the bazaar and down the hill to the new town.

The house was built around the year 1800s. Preserved its originality over the years, it has a special architecture in the form of a small castle. The property holds historical significance, being a part of Gjirokastra's UNESCO World Heritage, "first category" of the museum houses. Also, this house is full of history that goes through different times. Some of the furniture is from the 1800s and 1900s, which have been preserved and are located in this guesthouse. The house consists of many levels, a central courtyard offers an outdoor space, traditional elements such as arched doorways, painted ceilings hand and wooden beams that decorate the interior. Immersion in Gjirokastra's rich history and culture and the authentic living experience in a traditional Albanian house including a proximity to tourist attractions and cultural sites. The property is located near the old bazaar, City Castle, The Ethnographic Museum and The House Museum of Ismail Kadare. It is an opportunity to step back in time and spend a few moments as if you were living in the 1800s.
We are located in a historical neighborhood, where there are many characteristic houses, with a special and old architecture. Also in this neighborhood is the Ismail Kadare Museum House as well as the Ethnographic Museum. Villa 1800's is located in the heart of the city, from where you can easily walk to both the city bazaar and the city castle and many other attractions.
