Guest Reviews:

- "This is a wonderful place to stay in Gjirokaster. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the homemade food and wine is fantastic, and the location just outside of Gjirokaster makes a serene and relaxing stay, with beautiful views of the countryside. The best part is the friendly and helpful owners who made the experience one of our favorite parts of this trip. Highly recommend." - "We stayed at The Barrels for 3 nights, and it was a peaceful experience. Marcel and his family who run the place were Albanian hospitality at it's best!! The food is entirely homemade and the wine they serve is from thier own vineyard! Marcel 's mum bakes some of the best bread. They have two dogs, a cat and lots of poultry. I couldn't recommend this place enough! This gem is also only a 10 min drive from the main town. A special shout out to Ada (Esmeralda) for her patience and hard work !!"

- "We enjoyed this place so much that we decided to cut our stay in Ksamil short and come back. This property was just as stunning our second time here. Pictures honestly dont do it justice. Drinking Rakia with Thanasis and playing board games with his daughter Elena really made our night special!" - "This has got to be one of the best places we have ever stayed! The view is worth every second of the drive up the mountain. Rooms were large, bright and clean. Thanasis, the host is warm and welcoming. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains with him while sharing a beer and learning about the history of the property over google translate."

- "Typical and at the same time modern, very charming place Good breakfast View" - "Vistas impresionantes del castillo." - "This was the best hotel we stayed at during our ten day vacation through Albania. The staff was excellent and polite. we went during off season(mid November) and seemed to be the only guests on some days but it was still amazing. The location is spectacular, right below the castle walls and close to the bazaar and Cold War tunnels and all the happenings in gjirokastra. They also offered an amazing traditional breakfast and coffee every morning that was hand prepared when we walked in. The room was spotless and had An amazing ambience. The bathrooms had plenty of hot water. The room was temperature controlled as it was a little cold when we went so We had the heater running. The biggest plus is that they have parking on site for your vehicle, something that is precious in the small town with narrow streets and no public parking. The TV was a smart tv and included Netflix/prime/etc… overall an amazing experience, we were never supposed to stay a night in gjirokastra but we are extremely pleased we changed the itinerary and spent three nights at the rose garden hotel and it was amazing. For around 75 euros a night I do not think you will find better accommodations. If we are ever back in Albania we will make sure to stay here again."
