This is my 3rd time using Kim Kim and Violaine did not disappoint. We had a great trip and she put a great plan for us in place and she was great about answering our many questions:)
Our local trip "assistant," Amarda with Breathe in Travel was fabulous. She met us in person with a few fun momentos and she even rebooked a boat trip for us (thankfully it was possible) due to weather. Thanks Amarda!
Hotel Reviews
Super cute Boutique hotel! Clean, comfortable, stylish and quiet for being in the heart of Tirana. Loved the proximity of the hotel to main attractions and historical hot spots. Highly recommended.
Great spot up on the hill and the overall accommodation was good. Beds were comfortable and we loved the pool and sauna. Only complaints was a slight sewage smell in the room and the waiter at dinner was rather rude.
Beautifully located in Theth. Clean but very basic rooms. Our host was great but not clear about how meals worked or the time frame. Food was good and service OK for how busy and hectic it was with tourists. Glad we brought our headlamps as the power went out a few times each evening/morning.
Amazing! Fantastic accommodation and couldn't recommend it enough. The rooms were lovely, stylish, comfortable and clean. The staff was excellent and the food amazing. We loved the patio and enjoying wine while enjoying the awesome mountains/view.
Great spot and loved the view and proximity to the old Bazzar. The restaurant was good and the room was great- stylish, clean and comfortable.
Great spot and loved the view. Good staff and accommodations.
Great spot in Berat. Located in an old and authentic house but nicely styled. Everything was clean and comfortable. Our host was great and food was good. Easy walking distance to all of old Berat and we loved the town.
FABULOUS! Highly recommended and we loved our stay here. The hotel was super cute, clean and an easy walk to everything. The breakfast was exceptional and we LOVED the indoor pool and sauna. The outdoor pool looked great, but we got there too late to enjoy it. Our room was wonderful and we loved being up at the very top.
Activity Reviews
Amarda was lovely. We appreciated her meeting us and loved our "goody" bag. She even made a few more of our fabulous guide books per our request so we all had one to take home as momento. We had to reach out to her once for clarification, and she was quick to respond. She also rescheduled our boat experience due to weather. We loved all the extra suggestions given and our guide book was fabulous and throuough. We used it several times on the trip.
Petro was awesome! Such a great excursion and we loved hearing about the area and it's transitioning. There was about 15 people on the boat with plenty of room so it was very comfortable and clean. He had water to offer and we loved all the stops we took. The 2 cave swimming spots were super cool and the highlight. This is the way to see the beaches of Himare and to not deal with driving and navigating sketchy trails. The water and the beaches were gorgeous.
Super fun and we loved our host! Great crowd and experience.
