⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Unforgettable Stay in a Dream Location! This villa was an absolute gem and truly deserves more than 10 stars! Everything about our stay was exceptional. The location is unbeatable—tucked in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, yet just steps away from the old castle, the local market, and directly across from the historic house of the famous writer Ismail Kadare. Walking through the charming streets felt like stepping into a storybook. The villa itself is stunning—comfortable, beautifully decorated, and full of character. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed with both modern comfort and traditional charm. We especially loved the balcony, where we enjoyed morning coffee with a view and quiet evenings under the stars. One of the highlights was the amazing breakfast—fresh, delicious, and made with local ingredients. It was the perfect start to every day and truly added to the experience. But what really made this stay unforgettable were the fantastic hosts. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel not just like guests, but like part of the family. This villa is perfect for anyone looking to relax, explore, and experience the authentic heart of the town. I can’t wait to return someday. Highly, highly recommended!

We're so happy to be accommodated here. The view is amazing but what is really special is the hospitality of the hosts. The owners are very friendly and helpful, we had some amazing homemade marmalade and a little rakija for the cold weather. I wish we could stay longer and would come back. Thank you for the stay!

I loved that the hosts were so attentive to our needs and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Although we could not speak a common language, we used Google translate to communicate and have long conversations. The breakfast (paid extra) was a huge spread and generously put together . The host constantly checked in with us to see if we needed anything. It felt more like home than a guest house. I will be recommending Isaraj Guest House to my friends and other fellow travellers.

Clockwise is just the BEST location to explore Gjirokaster!! The walk to the town is only about 8minutes, through a tunnel under the castle....so cool!! The accomodation was so comfortable, perfect size and the host was SO kind and helpful. Parking wasn't an issue, we parked right outside. Breakfast was beautiful and the view from the terrace was absolutely STUNNING during the day and at night 🥰 Would highly recommend this property for a stay in Gjirokaster!!

    We liked everything! This accommodation is an oasis close to all things important in Gjirokaster. It is a clean, comfortable, modern and well equipped apartment. Great outdoor space with a refreshing pool (a rare thing in Gjirokaster). Really nice breakfast. Lovely hosts. This is where you should stay when visiting beautiful and interesting Gjirokaster.

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.
