Lorenc (the man), his mama, his family, and his guesthouse is the place to stay if you are in Berat. This is truly 'home away from home' for travellers who haven't been home in a long time. Lorenc and his family are very hospitable and their home is in a beautiful setting and is very comfortable. Lorenc is a man... More

Lorenc is a master of hospitality who makes you feel at home and relaxed right away. We had a great time staying here and just feeling the breeze pass through the beautiful backyard garden setting. The food was good as well as the company and atmosphere.

Lorenc and his mother are lovely hosts. Lorenc makes his own Raki and is a fine singer. Just ask him to sing. His mother is a very good cook. It was by far the best place I stayed on my 10 day trip to Albania. Top class views of Berat from the garden/vineyard. The beds were good and all was... More

The host was excellent explaining the history of the house and the local area. Also he made a delicous breakfast served in the backgarden covered in grapevines. Really it is the history of the guesthouse that makes staying here a nice worthwhile experience. The location is outside the center (only 10 mins walk - but everything is so close anyway).... More

Staying here is more of an experience than just somewhere to stay .The house is full of history and the garden a small vineyard. Lorenc has a small bar area set up where he will sing O Sole Mio to you. It's a short walk into town and there is an interesting market 100 yards down the hill on a... More

Lorenc has made a great welcoming place inside an old ottoman home. It is an amazing thing staying there. The hospitality is fantastic and breakfast tasty. Don't think Berat has a better place to stay. Good luck!

This is the best, most personal, most service minded hostel/guest house I have ever been at. You feel more like you are at your best friends place than in a foreign place! The sign is small though. Take the second street to your left after the second bridge to find the place. Lorenc is perfect host and his mother is... More

We were a family of 4 passing through Berat on our way from Tirana to Himarë, and stayed for 2 nights. We were received with great hospitality and friendliness. The guesthouse is on the northern shore of the river, in the Gorica quarter. Our room overlooked the lower slope of the Gorica hillside, and the river and stone bridge beyond,... More

We stayed here with our three children for two nights, en route from Greece to the UK. We got a private room with shared bathroom, and loved the vine-covered garden where we relaxed in the mornings over breakfast, in the afternoons over tea and in the evenings over specially-cooked dinners - the fish was particualrly good. Lorenc is a wonderful... More
