Your hilltop home above Durrës

Exceptional

Large, quiet apartment, very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely terrace, and kind hosts who were always very available. A private parking space in a city where parking can be difficult.

Superb

Our stay was excellent. The host was lovely and very kind to us from the very first moment. She even let us in earlier than planned, a gesture we really appreciated.

The house was spotlessly clean, very well kept, with modern and beautiful decor. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, so we slept wonderfully. The air conditioners also worked perfectly.

The surroundings are very quiet and the patio has spectacular views over the whole city. It's an ideal place to relax.

The house was very well equipped: they left us coffee, bath towels, shower gel, laundry detergent and everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The house also has parking.

We would definitely stay here again. It was a fantastic experience and we recommend this place 100%.

Top marks

Our stay in Durrës was a real treat: a house full of flowers, clean and cared for down to the last detail in every room, exactly as it looks in the photos. The large terrace with sun loungers for everyone and the spectacular view over the sea and hills took away any wish to go out in the evening! The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, both crockery and pantry (the only one of the 6 houses we rented on our tour), the fridge was full of cold drinks and water, and coffee capsules and herbal teas were also there for us. The owner, Mrs Deca, was delightful and attentive; she even went with us and helped us with the grocery shopping. The private parking space is ideal in busy Albanian cities.

Watch out for Google Maps, which suggested the road between the houses as the fastest route instead of the main road. Obviously not the host's fault...

Our stay was short but very pleasant. The apartment is really beautiful and has a great view! I'd be happy to come back.

Great apartment above the city

The hosts were very nice and helpful. The roof terrace was simply great, with a superb view over the city. It was very quiet and the kitchen was very well equipped. The steep drive up is quite manageable. We can recommend the apartment with a clear conscience.

We liked everything.

Lovely stay at the Hilltop

This is probably the best equipped apartment we have ever stayed in. There has been no expense spared in the furnishings and decor. The hosts were very welcoming, they left some coffee capsules, fruit, tea and a box of expensive chocolates. Condiments are supplied, cooking facilities are good. A very large terrace with amazing views of the sea, city and mountains, which was especially nice early morning with mists above the city and sun coming up over the mountains. We did not have a car, though a garage space is available and the vehicular gate to the property is controlled electronically using a fob supplied. Diambe market nearby is a discount supermarket with limited choice, but its cheap, especially beer and wine. There is a small greengrocer at 7358 Rruga Kastrioti, the nearest shop to the apartment where we purchased fresh fruit and veg at reasonable prices.

Very nice host family taking care of their guests. We were even brought fruits from the garden. Place is clean, quite, enough space! However you need a car to get around as it‘s away from the center

The best house I have rent so far. Value for money, the location was very nice with a great view. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and we felt super comfortable. The appartment is really beautiful, lovely decorated but most importantly extreme clean and tidy which I personally loved. The owners take care of the place with love and do their best. Absolutely to recommend and support an authentic stay in Dhurres! Thank you for everything, looking forward to visit again.

I would definitely recommend the house. We were 4 people travelling with two motorbikes. Parking is in the closed garage on the street side, behind a gate. The hosts are always around and very friendly, their house is carefully furnished and spotlessly clean, and the terrace is a delight to enjoy in the evening. It's a great place in a quiet area to relax after the day. We had a wonderful time. Thank you

Very sweet and hospitable hosts who helped us with everything. The house was amazing and very clean; we enjoyed it immensely.
