Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Nivicë

If you are looking for a true Albanian experience. Do not look further, because Progon House has it all. Progon House is hosted by an elderly couple and is located in a very remote area. The town is a collection of sheep shepherds, bee keepers, and is very very small. It is about 45 min drive from Tepelena. The elderly couple is super sweet! We wanted to barbeque at our first night and they already put on the fire for us. They supplied us with oil, spices, and vegetables from the garden. You can count on a traditional breakfast and we also paid for a traditional Albanian diner which included stewed lamb, spinach pie, and some kind of paella with chicken, although I am sure they don't call it paella. We had an absolute wonderful stay and we would highly recommend this to anyone that is open for a bit adventure in Albania!!

Meta is in a traditional small village high up in the mountains. The road itself on which you reach Gusmar is a miracle - beautiful valleys, high rocky peaks, marvellous waterfalls, good quality asphalt and exciting hairpins. Villa Meta has its own garden offering great privacy , possibility to chill, relax and enjoy the view of surrounding mountain scenery. The place is very remote, only a few families live in the area - who are very friendly by the way - which gives you a feeling that you are out of the fast paced daily civilization rush and offers you perfect opportunity for a peaceful rest. The Nivice Canyon near Gusmar is a must to visit. The Uspoiled nature, the force of water and erosion made stunning rock creations, super high stone walls, breath taking waterfalls and Crystal clear mini lakes in which you can have a baths. The whole place is so beautiful and untouched that you only see such in the movies. We have spent two days in Nivice Canyon with family and dog, then spent an other two days visiting the Seaside near Borsh which is a 40 mins drive from Villa Meta. The road offers brilliant views, the Ionian sea is very clear, the shore is sandy or covered with small white oval rock pieces like the ones you see in Kneipp spas. To this holiday we took our Mountain Bikes with us and rode an other two days in the region on rocky singletracks, alpine roads and western-like highlands. Alltogether we stayed 6 nights in Villa Meta - which offered generous space in and outside (we were 3 plus a dog), quality furniture, well equipped kitchen and bathroom, not very fast but liveable internet & wifi. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, showed us around in the area and adviced which places to visit, how and when. They provided tons of food, home - made milk and cheese, home grown fruit and vegetables. They live in a city nearby and brought an other ton of food in the middle of the week in case we may starve🫣😊.

The view was beautiful, the staff was very friendly and the food was very delicious.

We had an amazing stay at stefaneli studio. The host always replied immediately if we had any questions. The location is also perfect, directly near the beach, restaurants and bars.

Lovely staff We loved their kindness and the generous/tasty food :) We would definitely come back Thanks again !

This is probably the best hotel in Albania. We loved it. Great attention to details. Excellent location between two mountain rivers. Great place to break your self driving trip from Tirana to Sarandë. Beautiful views all around. Reception and all the staff at the hotel are acting professionally and are genuinely kind. Rooms are modern. There is a coffee and a tea kettle, and a large glass bottle of pure mountain water. The bed is large and super comfortable. Breakfast is excellent: order off the menu and large portions.

Loved it - the hosts were really nice and it was so close to the beach.

Perfect place for relax and enjoying the hospitality of Fred and his family and .meeting new people all around Europe. Every morning Fred was waiting for us with cup of coffee and wonderful home made cacao cake, and delishous tomatoes from his garden.Place was like from story tail, with so much flowers, lemon and olive trees.We have enjoyed our first morning coffee with amazing view on Ionian sea..

Beautiful area, very friendly host. Spacious apartment!
