"Villa Sharm is an oasis on the hill set amongst the local apartments. Had a great room looking over the town towards the Gjirokastër castle. Breakfast was a fair hotel buffet. Not the best but not the worst. Staff were helpful in sorting my questions. Twenty minute walk over to the Old Town Bazar area. Parking at property was excellent."
"The room was clean and beautifully decorated in a traditional Albanian style. The breakfast was authentic Albanian cuisine and a great way to experience the local culture. The owner Eda Kotoni is attentive and knowledgeable of the areas to visit. I highly recommend this place because of its excellent location near the Old Bazaar and Gjirokastër castle."
"We had a fantastic couple of nights' stay at Stitch & Stones, which is ideally situated near all the main sights in Gjirokaster, near the castle, the bazaar and lots of bars and restaurants nearby.
The rooms are beautifully designed with a very high standard of finish. We were welcomed by the owner and given our choice of rooms. Breakfast is provided by the restaurant on the ground floor and it was fresh and tasty, and there is a lovely roof terrace bar which we visited several times for drinks at sunset, looking out over over the town and surrounding valley.
If this place is available, don't hesitate to book! A real hidden gem in Gjirokaster!"
"Great stay! Bedroom was clean and bed was comfortable. Marcos helped us get our car up the tricky street and gave us some great food recommendations! Will come back!"
"This was an amazing little hotel with big features
We love the character and how comfortable and clean the room was and had everything that we needed. The spa and sauna were absolutely amazing and I’m sure the outdoor pool would be a huge bonus when warmer. The staff were really helpful and the breakfast was promised to be amazing and it definitely was. I can highly recommend staying here to all your friends."
"Tough to get to but nice parking area. Google Maps takes you the wrong way so lookout. My room heater didn’t work and the lights in the bedrooms area didn’t work so had to depend on the glow from the bathroom light which did work. One of two small night stands didn’t work and the one that did had a short circuit so it went on and off. Breakfast was really weak but a very nice effort. This is a small place so it’s great if your expectations are in proper alignment. Location is fantastic. Staff very friendly. "
