"I really recommend spending some time in Gjirokastër. The city is beautiful and offers some amazing views of the valley (especially from the castle). I really liked visiting the old traditional houses (Zekate and Skenduli), the architecture is really impressive."

"If you love the outdoors, this would be a great destination! There is hiking, mountain, bike, trails, and rafting tours available in the river. Probably the most outdoorsy town we visited in Albania on our trip. Unfortunately, we only had half of one day and half of another, so I would’ve loved to stay for a few more days and explore the area a bit more. It was extremely walkable and the restaurants were very affordable."

Very clean and beautiful room with a good amount of space. I thought it might be a little old but it was very new feeling despite having so much character in the furniture and decor. Pool is small but great for the summer, pool towels available. There are 2 tortoises that live near the pool! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The hosts are very kind and thoughtful. Parking is free next to the hotel, hosts will help move your car if needed Excellent location. Right next to the downtown/Bazaar and a little further down is the castle (also close though!)

The hotel was new and clean. The room was cozy, clean with all the amenities we needed during our stay. The heated indoor pool and sauna were perfect too. The owner heped us with some nice restaurant locations. We had great food there. Also the location was minutes walking from the castle and the Bazaar. The view was perfect. The staff was very polite and helpful. Overall a really nice stay and would definitely recommend and come back. Nice wintery getaway.

Located in the center of old bazar, the hotel presents a luxury and refined design. The details show the story of the old embroidery with a balance of modern elegance with boutique warmth. The room is sparkling clean, the air felt crisp, and the linens were pristine while the room looks much better than the pictures. Everything is cured at the maximum with special details while every room seemed special and different. Whether you’re traveling for business, a romantic getaway, or just seeking a quiet retreat, this hotel is a rare find. It’s more than a place to stay — it’s an experience in comfort, style, and serenity. I will absolutely return.

Beautiful recently restored/renovated property, very helpful, friendly, interesting owners. Outdoor spaces with terrific views, very good breakfast in lovely breakfast room. Within walking distance of the castle, which is very interesting and has terrific views. Just bring appropriate footwear for the cobblestone streets.

The hotel is located in a charming small city of Permet, in Albania, making it an ideal place to experience the authentic Albanian way of life. The staff were exceptionally hospitable, always greeting guests with genuine kindness and making us feel at home. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I especially appreciated how the hotel preserved its traditional character while providing excellent amenities. The food was delicious, featuring local flavors and fresh ingredients. A truly memorable stay that combines Albanian tradition, comfort, and outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing experience.

Besides the perfect location in the center of town, the large, well appointed and super clean rooms, the delicious breakfast served on the terrace what really stands out most is how welcoming and friendly the hosts are. They make you feel like your home and treat you like your family. Staying here was a marvelous experience and if you’re looking to stay in Permet you don’t need to look any further than the Funky Boutique Hotel.

Very affordable, very convenient when we stay there and go to rafting the next morning. The staff is very helpful and chill. Such a great experience with very good price. It was very close to the stone of the city! Not far from thermal bath. Walkable from the downtown for dinner and local concert. Safe area to walk at night. Highly recommended!

A very nice hotel in the city centre, imitating an old house (made of stones). There is a very nice garden were you can have dinner (and where breakfast is served) with a nice view. Hotel staff very helpful and nice. Parking is free in the main square. Next to the bars and restaurants, but the hotel is very quiet. I would come back definitely!

Clean and quiet, steps from the bazaar with lots of dining options, and a view of the castle from the patio. Comfortable beds and extra blankets and pillows are provided. The owner Ermal was extremely helpful in terms of logistics and recommendations. I can heartily recommend this place.

When going to the castle, if you see Ajla at the entrance after buying the ticket, make sure to do the guided visit with her. She is a young girl showing her passion for her country, without a price (you pay to her what you want), and she does a private guided tour for your group (I was alone and she did it just for me). It is a must if you see her! I recommend Restaurant Bineri for homemade meals with great city views.

Përmet is an interesting town.

Përmet is an interesting town. Busy in the morning and evening, but dead in the day when it is extremely hot. It is the perfect location for excursions like horse riding, quad biking, rafting, jeep safaris. These were all organised for us by Avenir at Funky Guesthouse. It's the same price as booking directly, but with excellent communication and easy pick ups and drop offs.

The natural views are crazy in my opinion. Crazy mountains and rivers, streams everywhere. The people are very nice, I read about other accounts but we experienced nothing but kindness and politeness. Its off the beaten track which we personally like. Its not all tarted up and cheap touristic vibe like you get in so many European countries, that you dont know what is real anymore. The seaside is also now only about 50 min away - we took a road to Sarande that apparently was just completed, so we also experienced a bit of the mediteranean vibe.

Permet feels wonderfully local and remote.

Permet feels wonderfully local and remote. The remote part gave us a bit of a challenge on our travel day in. We had planned to drive from Berat through the mountains and although Google Maps says it's possible, we have to say that it isn't. What could loosely be called the road eventually disappeared leaving us and another car of tourists stranded without signal up on a mountain road that was difficult and time consuming to get out of. We were happy with Berat once we arrived - had a great pizza dinner and enjoyed a wonderful dip in the river with the locals. The hotel we stayed in here was our favorite of the trip - Hotel Kaso Ervehe. Think old world charm meets modern luxury. I would highly recommend a stay with them.
