Words aren’t enough to describe this amazing place. We were welcomed in the evening by the property manager, Maradona Bebej. We had some traditional jam as a welcome snack and were shown our rooms. He then drove us to town for dinner and picked us up. He also gave us recommendations and so on. I have never met anyone as welcoming as Maradona and I can’t recommend this place enough! Loved the local breakfast too

It was close to the old town so very convenient for eating out/exploring, but was also set away enough that it was nice and quiet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

    I had a fantastic stay at this apartment. It was spotless and extremely well-kept, which made for a very comfortable visit. The hosts were exceptionally warm and welcoming, even treating us to a freshly baked cake, which was a lovely surprise. The amenities were excellent and everything we needed was provided. The location was ideal, with easy access to everything we wanted to see and do. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to staying here again.

    We LOVED this hotel. We stayed at many during our trip to Albania but Palorto was our fave. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed, fridge, modern decor, great courtyard, giant balcony, nice breakfast, great staff. €5 for a load of laundry. Ideal location, close to the bazaar but far enough away to be peaceful

    The location of Stone House is ideal, right at the corner of the old bazaar, but exactly at a spot where you are not disrupted by noise at night! The room was spacious with comfortable beds and a spotlessly clean bathroom. When the weather allows it you can have breakfast at the veranda with an amazing view of the castle. Bila was very hospitable and despite having one arm in a cast she did everything to make our stay pleasant. Great value for money when looking to stay inside the old town. Faleminderit!
