brand new hotel sit in the Gjirokastër old town, very convenient. Brand new facilities, quiet, super comfy beddings. You can even walk 15mins to Gjirokaster city for local dining options.
Strongly recommend to everyone.
We had a fantastic couple of nights' stay at Stitch & Stones, which is ideally situated near all the main sights in Gjirokaster, near the castle, the bazaar and lots of bars and restaurants nearby.
The rooms are beautifully designed with a very high standard of finish. We were welcomed by the owner and given our choice of rooms. Breakfast is provided by the restaurant on the ground floor and it was fresh and tasty, and there is a lovely roof terrace bar which we visited several times for drinks at sunset, looking out over over the town and surrounding valley.
If this place is available, don't hesitate to book! A real hidden gem in Gjirokaster!
Perfect location for exploring the old town Gjirokaster. It is right in the centre. The Old town is at the top of a very steep hill, the room location mwant that you could walk into the old town Bazaar from the room without having to walk up hills.
Newly renovated room was very comfortable and warm, and very tastefully done. The room looks like the photo and had a coffee machine and fridge. Fast wifi and a internet tv.
Check in was easy, the owner sent the door codes on whatsapp.
Breakfast was included a choice of hot or cold, and served at a restaurante around the corner, although it advertises that in summer breakfast is served in the Suites courtyard with a view of the mountains.
if arriving by bus into the centre of new town Gjirokaster i recommend taking a taxi to the Old town - for only a few Euros it saves walking up a very steep hill with luggage. There is a bus service from opposite the bus station which drops off near to the Old town and costs 40 leke per journey.
A great place to stay for a 2 day trip exploring the Old Town Bazaar and castle.
