The owners are fantastic and are very kind. The location was beautiful with a gorgeous view at breakfast. The room was large with plenty of space and the breakfast delicious and usually had a traditional albanian side to try. Just a note it is up a steep hill so if your hard of walking this may not be the stay for you, however also don't let that put you off as the entire old town area is on step hills

Situated within 45 km of Zaravina lake in Gjirokastër, Panoramic Vlachos offers accommodation with seating area. This guest house features free private parking and a shared kitchen. The guest house has family rooms.

The place is adorable! Maria the owner gave us a warm welcome, set with us to explain every thing about the city and made us feel at home! the place is beautiful with a spectacular view over the city and fortress! the location is great close to the center and the fortress. the breakfast was good and we enjoyed it looking at the city :) The room was a part of a shared apartment and we had our private bathroom and shower, but you feel like you're visiting a family so you don't mind that it's shared :) Very important - it's a bit difficult to get there with GPS, I would recommend to get close to the place (about 300m) and than look at the place on Google Maps and try to get to the point just from looking at the map and not using the navigation, because it'll take you through small and slippery roads. Overall we had a great time over there! Thank you Maria!

    Edmond and his family were the perfect hosts. The guest house is located close to the bazaar and castle. The room is great with fabulous views over the town. The breakfast is outstanding, located on the top deck, views everywhere and with plenty of homemade food and lots of variety. You can also have dinner at the guesthouse. Beautifully cooked authentic Albanian food. Edmond was our guide for a day taking us hiking to waterfalls and gorges. We highly recommend this place to stay.

    Great hostel that is run by an even better family. Location of hostel is excellent, very near the historic center of Gjirokaster still feels calm and quiet. Fantastic views from the 2 terraces. Room was clean amd comfortable. Atmosphere was calm but sociable and met some really nice people... Best of all, this family is so kind and welcoming. My wife left a valuable item behind, and they went above and beyond to help us get it back after we'd already left the city. Great hostel, great people.

    Great hostel run by a local family who are very kind and will provide answers to all your questions. Great showers with hot water, curtains around the bed for more privacy and personal plugs for all beds. Great view to the castle and some nice dogs that will follow you around all day! Close to the old city but just far enough that's it's very quiet. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

    Clyde was a great host and we were well looked after. The guest house is a great quiet location in the old town, with superb panoramic views from the terrace where a great breakfast is also served. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location making it easy to get to despite it being in the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the centre! Thank you for a great and relaxing stay!

    Maradone is the best host you'll ever met! Great location of the hotel + Maradona is willing you to taxi you to the old city centre. Please don't eat in the city centre, the best & most cheap dinner you'll find in the hotel :)

    Ernest and his family were very kind hosts, ready to help us whenever needed. The place is even better in real then shown in the pictures: very comfortable and clean room, cosy terrace in the shadow to enjoy a drink or a very tasty homemade breakfast. As it gets hot in summer you can enjoy the small swimming pool. The hotel is in a great location: right in the city centre and near main attractions of Gjirokastër but in a quiet street.
