Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Gjirokastër County

We had a very nice time in Himara and were able to enjoy southern Albania in peace and with almost no tourists. Zoe's parents were very welcoming and since they lived next door, we were able to exchange a few words with them every day... thanks to the language translator too! They even changed our sheets twice in the two weeks, disposed of our garbage and pampered us again and again with treats. This "service" is a gracious exception from our experience! The apartment was large, very clean and comfortably furnished. Our stay was very pleasant and offered many interesting impressions. Albania is certainly on a good path to establish itself as a worthwhile destination thanks to its beautiful landscape and the friendly people.

Absolutely wonderful stay. It’s nicer than the pictures. The beach is your backyard and the sunsets are breathtaking. Krista was very responsive and helped us with everything. We had the whole beach to ourselves and it was great for a family vacation. There is a wonderful restaurant nearby called manxrurane which had incredible food and a very friendly staff. Can’t wait to visit again!!

A perfect place - especialy for traditional, rural style lovers. Quiet and nice. The beds are very clean and comfortable. The way to the beach is rather difficult to walk. Theodora is very kind and helpful. When she is not around, her neighbours Felleza and Mili care for the place and are willing to help.

We were welcomed by Anna's mother who even when we didn't speak our language was super nice and available in everything. It was like being at a grandmother's place. There are 3 bathrooms and the kitchen is very large to eat together. Cozy garden with lots of kittens. Top location for getting around the hymare region (the most beautiful for beaches). Away from chaos and the perfect nightlife for those who want a relaxed and cute location. Very good restaurants nearby.

Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming! Everything we needed was readily available. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable for the 8 of us. Every morning, there was always something to eat, and the house was consistently cleaned and tidied up. I highly recommend this place without hesitation!

Nice place, nice escape. A great and very responsive host and a well maintained and clean place, which I recommend.

We spent a relaxing week at the vacation home in Upper Qeparo. We particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the village, the view of the mountains, the pool and the friendliness of the people in the village. Every day we stopped by Ida & Xhorxhi, whether for a coffee, a beer or missing groceries... the food in the restaurant was also very delicious. However, the journey or the parking situation in the village is a bit challenging... not for the faint of heart. It is a pity that there are so many garbage cans and apparently everyone throws their garbage away somewhere, as everywhere in the country. All in all, we are very glad to have been in this special, peaceful place.

Stefan's place is a very well located, close to a lovely and relaxing beach. It was easy to find, and has everything you needed for a stay on the coast. I can't wait to visit again!

fantastic apartment not far from the beautiful front of sarande, we had a couple of issues with the sink tap and lights but once we messaged the host they was fixed that day, only one bedroom with a mirror so could potentially do with more and one in each room, but highly recommend a stay here the views are stunning

Great host. Very helpful and very attentive. The place was beautiful and had private beach access. Private parking was a great plus too. Definitely recommend .

The apartment was super clean, tidy and well equipt. The balcony was well-loved, as well as the rooftop with the beautiful view. Frosina (apologies if I'm spelling that wrong), looked after us so well! And, even brought us breakfast doughnuts one morning. She was extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. The main road is about a 10-15 minute walk away and had everything we needed.

Great apartment in a spectacular location. We loved feeling like we were living in the middle of a historical town- down steep cobble streets to the Old Bazaar. The apartment had everying we needed and we enjoyed the great views from the terrace. Alfred was incredibly forthcoming when we ended up arriving really late because Google Maps had taken us down an unpaved road and we ended up having to retrace our route. Thanks!

Luli was so kind and we would take her for our own grandma. Wifi was not working though. But we felt at home and it was clean ❤️😎💯✨👍👏

Very nice AirBnb and easy, friendly communication with the hosts! We enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful holiday at Elvis's apartment. His mother was on hand and helpful throughout without being at all intrusive. She was very kind and gave us lemons from the beautiful garden and help when needed. The apartment has everything needed as well as lovely outside space with a beautiful view of the bay. It is peaceful and picturesque. There are 4 restaurants in the village and we tried three. Our favourite was Taverna Viktoria right next door who also provided us with takeaway food when we arrived late and on other nights when we wanted. A car is a must as the nearest beach is about a 10 minute drive, but Piqeras is a perfect location for exploring the southern part of the riviera. We especially recommend Borsh beach, Butrint, Porto Palermo and Gyrocaster as places we particularly enjoyed. For Brits Albania is fabulous value and a very beautiful picturesque country. We hope to return in the future and would definitely stay again at Elvis's.

Great place away from the city. Beautiful and peaceful area, host was super helpful, everything was clean and the pool area was great. Also, a PSA to future guests - the living room couches open up for a massively better leisure experience on the nights you end up watching the TV.

This airbnb is beautiful! It had everything we needed and was located between two restaurants with great fresh food at good prices. You need a car to get around as the house is in the hills and the area is very steep and rocky, but the views are well worth it.

Everything was great. we really enjoyed our stay. super helpful with recommendations and when we arrived earlier than expected, his mom would help us in :)

A house with an amazing view over the sea. Well built house with all modern comforts. We stayed there with a family of 5 persons and had a great time. It takes a 10 min walk from the road to get there. So, be sure your luggage can be carried.

Anita's place is a lush oasis overlooking the sea from high above. The garden is wonderful and very well maintained, with lots of trees, fruits and flowers, with a great bbq corner, really like the pictures. The house is well equipped, comfortable with a cosy atmosphere. We enjoyed the place very much. Just across the street, the Taverna Viktoria can't be missed and is worth a few visits for the friendly service and tasty dishes to enjoy from the quiet terrace. Multiple beaches are a few kilometers away, each one offering a different scenery. We spent a great time in and around Piqeras, and we appreciated to come back to this nice place, to spend time in the garden. Getting fresh fresh pomegranate, lemon or kaki direct from the trees was a great plus to the stay. Not to forget the more than friendly cat coming and going and always happy to cuddle. This has been a great week and we thank Anita a lot for making this place available to us!

I had a wonderful stay here. The home is very cozy and inviting and the location is great!
