Timo's Guest House

"I stayed with my husband at Timo’s Guest House for two days and we were warmly welcomed with raki and homemade liqueur. The house itself is beautiful and has been in the family for three generations. Inside it is incredibly cozy, with a stunning wooden ceiling handcrafted by the host himself. The terrace is simply astonishing, offering breathtaking views of the river and the old town of Berat. The breakfasts were delicious, and the family was very friendly and welcoming. Our heartfelt conversations made the experience truly special, and we learned a lot about Albania and its culture. This was an unforgettable stay, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the genuine warmth of an Albanian family home."

"It was a fantastically authentic building lovingly restored and in a great location to all the facilities and sites in Berat. We received a really warm welcome and would gladly revisit."

"This place and its owners are simply charming, everyone were so kind the breakfast was amazing. The cleanest room I have ever seen in my many guests' houses stays. The lovely mother with an artist dad and their daughters were very welcoming they made us feel like home. Luciana gave us great suggestions, and the 300 family owned house is a master piece on its own, not to mention the handcrafted artworks made by the cutest dad ever. There are a few kittens around playing on the terrace and making everything seem more peaceful."

"Nothing not to like just ask for directions for easy access and try to travel with not so heavy luggage to this destination."

"The property is located in the heart of the old town, only 5min from city centre and from every attractions. Amazing views from the balcony, I didn’t wanted to leave from there day and night. George & Maria are great hosts and with their “little English” made us feel at home. They welcomed us with raki, liquor and jams made at their home. Breakfast so fresh and delicious like nowhere else we have been in Albania. I would highly recommend to whoever wants to experience true Albanian family spirit."

"Nothing that was not mentioned to us before."

"Lovely home stay with a welcoming Albanian family - Maria, George and their daughter Luciana who was visiting from Dublin. Prime location by the river overlooking the city with a fantastic view from the terrace and garden. Delicious homemade raki and preserved fruits were served when we first arrived and we ended with a wonderful breakfast of local pancakes, eggs, fruits and cheeses. To round out the experience we coincidentally booked an excellk cooking class with George’s sister, Nina, in the castle"

"Steep stairs from the Main Street which can be challenging with bags and signage to find the guesthouse could be better"

"A superb breakfast, made in the family's kitchen and enjoyed on the terrace, overlooking one side of Berat. The room had good air conditioning (essential!) and the shutters kept out all the light from outside."

"The beds weren't the most comfortable and were pretty creaky, so it's easy to wake yourself (and others in your room) up just by turning over in bed. Light sleepers will need ear plugs, as both street noise and sounds from the adjacent rooms and landing travel well."

"Everything. If you want to stay with a kind, generous and beautiful family in their home with stunning views, stay here. They were welcoming and the view from the balcony is the best in the town! Outstanding breakfast and clean room, hot showers, comfy bed and air con. George, Muma and his daughters are the reason we loved Berat so much."

"The hosts were super friendly, the room was spacious and clean, the terrace could be used anytime and it had a great view. In general, the location of the guest house was fantastic."

"be mindful that you have to walk a few steps/go a steep walk to get there, so should you not be well on your feet you might struggle a little. We did not quite understand how to get a parking place on the main road, so we used a private parking lot closeby which also worked for us."

"Excellent location. Walking distance to castle, old town, and promenade. Can't ask for a better host. Rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Very quiet location. Very good value for the money."

"Challenging to find parking and the hotel."

"A really lovely stay in this lovely home stay in Berat. The owners were delightful."
