All aspects of this property were above expectations. Everything: Location: excellent, close to any point of interest. Villa: new and with all facilities. The services were excellent, a very well run family business. Excellent breakfast served on a terrace with a very nice view. Very well maintained garden with multiple relaxation areas and where walk freely a few turtle.

Everything was perfect.

The location was great - just inside the city walls, in close walking distance to everything an not too high up in the mountain. Delicious breakfast what a great view on the balcony. Beds very comfortable. Communication with the property good and stuff very helpful. We left our thigs at the hotel after check out to have a little walk without our lugagge.

Some of the rooms quite small. Couple of rooms where 1 towel short (3 people room with only 2 towles). Had to wait for hot water in the showers. Parkin a car close is bit problematic but we found a free parking lot about 700m along the river and it was not a long walk.

A fantastic place to stay. It has a gorgeous garden which was a shady oasis to rest in, especially given the heat. There were tortoises roaming about the garden - how can you better that? The breakfast was huge. Such an amazing array of food. Plenty of hot water for showers and big fluffy bath towels that were very soft. The staff were so friendly. They helped us order a taxi when we left and even rang the taxi to check it had picked us up. Air con in the rooms. Stunning views from the breakfast terrace. We can completely recommend Villa Elmar.

The greatest location in the heart of the old town, a few minutes from all the city attractions, a few minutes walk to the bus station which takes you to the main terminal. Beautiful garden, big room, comfortable bed and an amazing view of the landscapes around from the window. Nice staff and nice breakfast on the terrace. Fair price and a good value.

The shower in my room was very inconvenient. Too small and no separation between the toilet and shower at all.

A wonderful spot with beautiful garden and fabulous views, up a couple of cobbled streets at the lower end of the old town. Great breakfast on a terrace or under fruit trees in the garden. Very comfortable and pleasantly arranged, with friendly non English-speaking staff. We had a very pleasant room with an amazing outlook. We'd totally recommend. We joined a free (i.e. pay what you think) three-hour walking tour, which began close to Villa Elmar and which we'd also recommend

We could have brought less luggage as it was quite steeply uphill on rough stone surfaces and steps from the nearest free street parking. Beware the one-way system that's not clear on Google maps!

- Genuinely kind and friendly host, the two ladies were smiling and willing to help, they welcomed us nicely and offered us some water/juice while they finished preparing the room, since we arrived a little bit earlier than what we had planned. - They spoke Italian so communication was not an issue - The location is perfect in the old town (just have to climb a bit), there is a nice garden and a beautiful terrace with a breath-taking view on the city. - Room was spacious and clean, old-fashioned in a good way - Breakfast was tasty

Nice accommodation in the old town of UNESCO town, right under the castle. Includes wifi, air-conditioning and breakfast made by the lovely homestay lady (who does not speak too much of English, but you can somehow agree with your hands or Italian) on the terrace with the city view.

Parking is not easy to find in the streets (we ended up parking in underground garage few minutes away from the villa for 800 lek/night), however it is the problem of the whole old town, as in any other city.

A fantastic location with a beautiful view and everything you could think of in the hotel :-) Very friendly staff who are always on hand for anything you need. Had a really nice time staying so i highly recommend as it exceeded my expectations especially the price. Cant wait to stay again.

Great location, not too far from parking spots to carry all luggages, maybe 200m max. Rooms were very cute, clean and confortable. We loved walking and getting lost in the little streets around the hotel. Easy access to restaurants around by foot. The lady on the spot to welcome us and prepare breakfast was so cute, didn't speak a word of English but we somehow managed to communicate, breakfast on that terrace with a view of the city was so nice, I imagine it being even greater in summer weather. Peaceful hotel, definitely recommend !!

The old villa, with several appartments inside, is located in the middle of the old town of Berat. Right were you want it to be! A beautiful place, and an oasis of calmness and comfort. Nice terrace with great view, where you have breakfast. While some turtles are playing around in the small gardens behind you, where you can sit as well if you like. And the staff and hosts are great, and very relaxed. They will do all to make you feel very welcome and help out if you like. A great place, in a beautiful and nice area and town!

It is in the old town, so you can’t reach it by car. No problem, they help you with the bagage if you like, and parking is close by. But good to know that you have to walk a bit up the steep hill, if you your health doesn’t like that I would chose another area. If no problem, this is the place to be! Furthermore the appartement has no curtains, but we easily solved that with some blankets. Let this all not withhold you, because it is all worth it and great! We rarely give 10s, but this place fully deserve it in our opinions. What a lovely place!
