The house is high up in the mountains. We rode our motorcycles there. The track to the house is rocky so I’d say don’t attempt it unless you are fairly confident with your off road riding skills. They also do a pick up service. The house overlooks the town and there’s mountains in all directions. It has the most breathtaking view. We originally wanted to just stay one night but changed it to four because it’s so beautiful up in the mountains. The host are an elderly couple who don’t speak English. They try their best to be hospitable. We had dinner at the house made my the hostess every night. Dinner is simple and satisfying. Breakfast is included. It is an Albanian donut like ball thing with jam and honey. I love this donut thing. She makes them fresh in the morning. The house has a fireplace and they started a massive blazing fire for us to dry our motorcycle clothes after we did the laundry using their washing machine. There are chickens, a cow, a sheep, and a few horses in their garden. There’s the animal part of the garden and there’s the human part of the garden. Sometimes the animals would walk over to the human side and the hostess would come out of nowhere and chase them back. It was quite a hilarious scene to watch a naughty horse and cow in trouble slowly walk past the window with a lady behind them shooing them. The couple are really really nice and made our stay very enjoyable and personable. The WiFi works quite well. About 20-30 mbps. Good enough for zoom calls and Netflix. Better than a restaurant’s WiFi down in Theth. WiFi connection is available only in a few places though mainly the living room. In certain corners if the room you might get signal.

This is the best place to explore the magical attractions of thethi area!!! The closest point to magnificent blue eye and very close to the waterfall. Accomodation was really nice, relaxing, clean and easy. The room is basic but we didn't need anything else. The restaurant for breakfast or lunch or dinner is 3' walk among a river (unfortunately without water when we went) but still with breathtaking view to the mountains. All people were helpful and kind.

Ledio and his parents Toni and Aphrodite were really really lovely people. Ledio wasn't there but his parents were so friendly, offering tea and coffee each day and chatting to us. They also made dinner for 7€ each, which was really delicious, the breakfast was amazing too! Of course some aspects were basic, but if you don't need luxury then I would recommend this place to everybody

It’s very adorable and clean. The owners are really nice and sweet. We leaved too early in the morning to do a tour, and they woke up too to prepare our breakfast. I really recommend it! The view of the mountains is amazing here also

    Authentic, clean, hospitable. We had a dinner for €10pp which was abundant and delicious. The breakfast was also delicious with home-made stuff and milk directly from their cow. The owner was very welcoming, who drove us up and down again. The place is very remote and was absolutely peaceful and quiet.

    Wonderful experience at Ariana's family place. We arrived in Theth and they came and led us to their guest house (it took 15 min by off-road car). The location was magic and silent, sorrounded by mountains. We decided to have dinner there and it was great too. After that we had an exciting volleyball play all together, with her family and other guests. Unforgettable time!
