“Valbone is a place where you should really stay at a guesthouse to experience its beauty. This was such a lovely place to stay. Kind hosts, local food and the views were incredible.” Alex, UK
This fascinating, lesser known Mediterranean country has a pristine, rugged and wild landscape waiting to be discovered. It wasn’t until the collapse of the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania in 1991 that the world got its first glimpse of the country within. Our trek is focused in the remote Albanian Alps in the north, where ancient blood feuds and folklore mark its past. We explore the remote regions of Theth and Valbonë on foot, where Agricultural life has remained unchanged for centuries
Visit the city of Bajram Curri and the historic museum located there. After a 30 minutes ride you can arrive in Valbona to enjoy the wonderful culinary of northern Albanian households. The food is all Bio and prepared full of care and love from the hands of Albanian mother whose cooking is the best representation of our authentic culinary tradition. As you may have already heard about Albanian hospitality, prepare yourself to experience the welcoming feeling in a personal level like nowhere else before.

Perfect place in the Valbona valley to stay in a quiet location with amazing views. This family owned business is perfect to experience the local food and hospitality. We stayed here for 3 nights and would have stayed longer if we could...I strongly recommend this place.
I highly recommend this guesthouse. We were a group of 13 people doing hikes in the area. The location is close to hikes starting points. The staff was great. We had home cooked meals and we felt they put a lot of care and interest in making our stay fit to our needs. The rooms are normal size and have individual bathrooms.
Guesthouse with great view of the mountains. The staff was really helpful and friendly. They helped us to arrange the transfer to the start of the hike to theth. The toilet in the bathroom was a bit smelly.We had dinner and breakfast there, there is some room for improvement.Averall good value for money.
Just amazing experience. We felt the hospitality of the people. Rooms are nice and surrounding is just stunning. You can just sit in the garden after your hike and enjoy wine, beer, coffee, watermelon or whatever they get you. Amazing breakfast or dinner. They provide transport to ferry or to the trailhead of hike to Theth.Highly recommended!
