All guest rooms come with air conditioning, a fridge, an oven, a coffee machine, a shower, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. The units at the hostel are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. This was one of my favourite stays in Albania. The couple who run it are absolutely delightful, and go out of their way to help you and make your stay comfortable. As long as you have Google Translate, it's easy to communicate. Breakfast is IMMENSE! It's delicious, and so much! The beds were comfy and everything was really clean. It's about a 15 min walk to the main plaza, and the hill isn't that bad.

Bujtina Hadër Xhebro in Tepelenë provides accommodation with a garden and a bar. When you reach this guesthouse... not only do you find a house, but you feel like a real guest. A guest of the house, a guest of the family. Almost a member of the family. Try all the food. Try the "sarma", the cheese... the Trahana... everything is locally homemade. Fresh from the garden or the mountain around. Thanks, everyone! Ariola, Natasja, Urania, Uncle Jaho, and "Arbor". It was not just a stay... it was an experience with you all.
