"This place is simply FANTASTIC! The minute you walk in, Velo warmly welcomes you as if you were part of the family. His mom Tatiana’s cooking is simple, authentic and absolutely delicious. The rooms are basic yet spacious, comfortable and super clean. Make sure to ask for the house barrel aged Raki, as smooth and luscious as a drink can get. Situated at short drive (30ish minutes) from the airport, I highly recommend as I first stop once you land in Albania… or a last night before going back home! Make sure to stay more than one night however, and ask Velo and his cousin Marjan for the morning hike up the hills, through the thousand year old olive garden. From the property you can reach a fabulous beach frequented by locals (Tale, 20 min) or drive up to Rozafa Castle (1h). Some roads can be a bit bumpy tough: when you get in and out, make sure you drive through the villages, don’t use short cuts Waze would suggest. All in all, one of the best travel stays I have ever had! ❤️"
