Guest Houses in Librazhd

The wilderness of surroundings and the road were amazing and the brekfast niam niam, the best in ALBANIA, we also could stay longer and Nia family is really human.

We stayed 2 nights at the beautiful Joen Village and were very impressed with the accommodation. The place looked very new and modern, located about 1km outside of the little village of Fushe-Studen. On the property there are a number of large modern villas, each with multiple rooms in multiple configurations. We had a 1-bedroom apartment complete with living room and full kitchen. The apartment was spacious, bright, clean and comfortable and all the furnishings and fittings were of good quality. We really liked all the hooks around the place to hang clothes – a rarity in most places here. The Wifi connection was lightning fast and the TV had a decent range of English language programming. There were lots of heaters/AC around the apartment, so no problem staying warm. We were able to park right next to our apartment which was very handy. There are a couple of decent mountain bikes on site that can be rented for 5 Euros per day. We gave them a good ride up into the mountains and they performed OK, but the roads around here are super rocky and rough. The onsite restaurant served us up a great dinner both nights, and the free breakfast was reasonably good as well. Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this place to other travelers looking for a great base for exploring the national park.

If you want to feel the love for Albania, you have to go to Vila Rira. Aïda and her husband Ajet are most welcoming and want to share their knowledge about the environment. Even before and after our stay they gave us suggestions about where to go and where to eat. The rooms are nicely decorated, have good matresses and a powerful shower. The breakfast served consists of warm, homemade bread and local products. Aïda and her assistent are the best home cooks we met in Albania. You should definitely stay here for dinner. We've been 3 nights, but could have stayed longer. We went to Lin, Pogradec, Korçe, Sveti Naum and the tombes of Scela. Closer to the Vila you can make beautiful walks in the unspoiled nature.

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at Castle House. It is a wonderfully historic, sympathetically restored house within the old, Roman castle walls of Elbasan. Gjon, the host, speaks perfect English, has a great sense of humour and is clearly passionate about the history behind the house (which has remained in his family). He was helpful and kind, allowing us to arrange a much later checkout for 25 EUROs extra - this was really important for us as we were then able to enjoy a wonderful lunch within the city walls and have a leisurely departure onward to Tirana in the late afternoon. We had the whole house to ourselves - everything was clean and well-maintained. The location was perfect for us as, not only was it within the old city wall, it was also just a 10 minute stroll to the main bus stop/departure point. If ever you are visiting Elbasan (which isn't on every tourist's itinerary but is well worth a one night stop, especially for the food - we had our best meal of our Albanian adventure at a restaurant not too far from Gjon's place), Castle House is definitely worth your consideration.

nice place inside historical part od city include everything inportant
