The best place we stayed at
It was probably the best place we stayed at during our entire trip. The elderly couple who welcomed us were incredibly kind and warm-hearted. They made us feel right at home, so comfortable and at ease, and even went out of their way to prepare breakfast for us.
The air just felt different in Gjirokastër, somehow fresher and more peaceful. The house itself was absolutely lovely: cozy, charming, and almost like something out of a fairytale cottage.
I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough. If you’re visiting Gjirokastër, don’t hesitate to stay here. It was an incredible experience, and one of the loveliest memories of our trip!

Overall, the house was clean and welcoming, with air conditioning, which was essential for sleeping comfortably in Gjiro
The house is cozy and I really liked it. I chose it because it reflects a traditional Albanian home. The owners were very kind and helpful with all our requests. They also gave us some great advice on how to explore the city. I really appreciated the breakfast they served in their driveway, which was also very charming and characteristic.
I chose the house because it was close to the historic center and offered parking. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with this aspect, as the parking was not within the property and I had to leave the car on the street. It was also not very clear that we would have to walk for about five minutes uphill, including some steps, along a steep and unmarked path. This caused me some inconvenience because, in addition to the information not being clear in the listing, I would have appreciated being informed about this beforehand. I was travelling with my 74-year-old father-in-law and my 6-month-old daughter, and this information would have influenced my decision on whether or not to choose this property.

The most authentic experience of Gjirokaster that you can get
This house was such an great experience for my family. At first, we were a bit surprised by the old steep roads we had to drive through to get to the house. This was definitely an adventure we will remember 😀. The good thing is that the host sent us video instructions on how to get to the house. Parking was also arranged even in this area with tiny streets. The neighbor which hosted the parking also helped us get out the car on our check out.
The house itself was a renovated traditional stone house. It was a great mix of traditional and modern. We had pretty much everything we needed including a washing machine, air conditioners, refrigerator, etc. The house also has great views of the city and the mountains. The beds were very comfortable and the whole atmosphere made us sleep like babies.
I can't describe how sweet and kind the hosts were. Really, amazing people. Joy, whom I was communicating with over WhatsApp was very very sweet, explained everything to me regarding the road, parking, etc. She answered all of my questions, proposed what we should visit and was answering in an instant on WhatsApp. Her father welcomed us into the house with a warm traditional coffee and a melon 🥹. The next morning he and his wife served us breakfast, which was so much it almost did not fit the table and was so delicious 🤤. Really, lovely people.
The price, which was quite low (~63€ for 4 people) also included this large breakfast.
Thank you for the stay!!! 🙏♥️ Will definitely come again when visiting Gjirokaster!
These are things you should just be aware of, not necessarily negative.
The road to the house is a bit steep and the old stones are a bit of a challenge. Didn't have much problems tho and I saw that the people in the city were going uphill with all sorts of cars so it shouldn't bother you too much.
From the parking you still have to climb a couple of stairs for like 2-3 minutes until you reach the house, which can be a bit difficult if you are carrying a big suitcase.

We really loved our stay at Pampeas Family House.
Very clean, comfortable and cozy apartment. Lovely hosts.
A bit difficult to get to, however the host sent very clear instructions and was always in touch to help us with anything we needed. Super communicative and very friendly.

De mensen zijn erg vriendelijk en de communicatie is goed. Er wordt van te voren duidelijk gecommuniceerd over hoe je met de auto bij het hotel kan komen. De weg erheen rijden is spannend maar oke te doen als je niet te bang bent. Het hotel zelf is erg ruim en prachtig ingericht. Het ontbijt is heerlijke geweest iedere dag.
De weg naar het hotel is absoluut niet toegankelijk voor mensen die slechter ter been zijn. Vanaf de plek waar de auto's kunnen komen, moet je eerst een stukje naar beneden lopen, dat js nog goed te doen. Daarna zijn er paar gammelen trapteden en daarna een grindpad een stuk naar boven. Vervolgens moet je opnieuwe een aantal gammelen traptreden maar boven en daarna nog een aantal goede trapjes. Niks om je tegen te houden om hier te slapen als je goed kunt lopen, maar met mijn opa en oma was dit absoluut niet ideaal.

Prachtig gelegen binnen het stadscentrum vrijwel naast het kasteel! Ontvangen door een zeer gastvrije familie 🙏
Het is een klimmetje op een paadje met nog wat traptreden maar dan zit je naast het kasteel.
