Its a pity the jacuzzi wasn't in use.

Beautiful setting in the mountains. Not an easy road to get to it but its worth it. 2 nice restaurants next door with friendly staff

The property did not had much ventilation and since it is summer it got really hot during the day. The fans provided was helpful but i think the property needs an air conditioner only for summers.

The property was really nice and is at an amazing location at the top of the hill in a small village, which was a different and an exciting experience for us.

Everything was amazing, the place is very typical and has a nice balcony where you can relax. Fully equipped room, fully equipped shared kitchen. Next to a cute local restaurant with amazing food. Will definitely come back if ever in Albania again Thank you!

The road there is bumby ride, but it will be worth it! Even if you drive scooter like us! And ofc it’s not villa portas fault! Kitchen need good one knife!

Its like fairytale. Rustic & unique vibes. free good beachbeds available!

Great place, the inner yard is magical, the accommodation is located in a very unique area on the mountain. The ride up might feel stressfull at first, but it's Albania, so frankly it's nothing too unusual :). The view definately is worth the drive <3 The host also offers free sunbeds on the beach which was truly amazing. We also used the jacuzzi and there is a great restaurant just nearby! Huge thanks from Lithuania!

Unfortunately the shower drain is blocked/not working. Drains through floor waste by toilet, not a major, just stays wet for a while on the floor.

Room was super comfortable and unique! Very happy with it.

An amazing place with super easy self check-in! It felt like an adventure in an old village — peaceful and full of charm. I had one of the best sleeps of my life here. They offer rooms in a villa, which is perfect if you want to meet new people and make friends. The owners have great ideas and really create a special atmosphere. Every time I pass through Qeparo, I will definitely stay here again!

It’s a really harsh climb up for inexperienced drivers. It’s very steep so I’d advise some caution but everything else made it worth it

I like how absolutely beautiful the property is and the view from the top was absolutely magnificent

Be careful with restaurants around they are quite pricey but so-so.

We were able to take laundry, we haven't used the hot tube as it was very windy. Other than that everything was there, really nice place.

Nice place in the village.

The road up is a bit daunting, especially in the dark. It is paved but steep & lumpy. It is narrow but there are passing places and if you take it steadily, it's fine. There is parking at the bottom and the top of the village. If you are faint-hearted, park at the bottom and walk up to see the lie of the land further up! It is all negotiable with care.

I loved the location. Upper Qeparo is perched high in the hills above the beach resort. Villa Porto is in the heart of the village, between two tavernas. The property is three bedrooms and a communal kitchen, set around a central courtyard, with the addition of a terrace on the first floor. There are great views of the village, coast and surrounding mountains from here. The village is characterised as abandoned, but it's not a ghost town, even in October. One Taverna was closed for renovation but Veronika in the other was more than capable of picking up the slack. There are lots of unrenovated houses but quite a few residents plus various rental places. I noticed a mini market which may be open during the summer months. The village is visited by lots of hikers. The Vila has everything you might need and has been renovated to a high standard. I found the beds comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. I communicated with the owner, Kristina, by WhatsApp. She was very responsive and her family were close by if needed. I enjoyed exploring the village and the nearby ancient ruins of Karis, including a tower built by Ali Pasha.

Wifi can be weak in the rooms and sometimes power is out in town. But, when you consider the remote location, those are small things.

The villa has a nice private outdoor area plus an upstairs deck with nice views. It is centrally located in the village and easy to find from the taxi stop or if you’re walking/driving into town. There is a nice shared kitchen with fridge, stove, cooking gear, silverware, etc. There is also a washing machine! Qeparo village is a nice place to spend time, take some walks, and enjoy the restaurants. Villa Porta is a nice headquarters for all that. If you don’t have a car, you can walk up to the village from the highway. It is steep and takes 45-60 minutes. Might be tough in hot weather or if you have luggage. The owner can give you a good taxi number, I recommend arranging it ahead of time since there aren’t many taxis in Qeparo.

WiFi was sometimes patchy, but that could be expected. If travelling without a car, remember to book your taxi up in good time! 😁

Lovely room and location from 1910 with good bathroom, tv and ac. Hooks and shelves to put your stuff on. Because of the stones walls, the house keeps telatively cool in the summer heat. The town is so cute with the old stone houses, tiny streets to stroll and a small fortress ruin. Host was helpful and answered quickly to our messages. 😊

Kristina and her husband were super nice , we had a warm welcome and she helped us with transportation and different useful information. Also their beach was beautiful. I really enjoyed staying at villa porta

We spent our last few days here after our round trip through Albania looking for peace and quiet. And we found it. It was a dream come true. The villa is wonderful, renovated and furnished to a high standard and typical of the country. The hostess Kristina is very friendly and helpful. The mountain village of Old Qeparo is something very special. You can feel Albania up here. Less than 50 people live here. Everyone is so friendly and lets guests take part in life. There is a bar and two restaurants. Wonderful mountain hikes and beach visits to Qebaro Beach - in Kristina's beach bar, of course - are possible. The drive up the mountain to the village is a bit exciting at first, but we quickly got used to it and even enjoyed the special experience. Dear Kristina, we would love to come back.

Quite hard to park.

Good value for money. Lovely location in centre of old village. Quaint but has two nice restaurants around it. Room was modern and has a spa and outside veranda which is nice

- we did not know that the payment settlement is preferred in cash. So better bring cash :)

- Far remote from the tourism at the coast in a superb traditional village - got a room upgrade - great equipment and comfort

The hot tub wasn't plugged in - it was prominently featured in the booking, and would have been nice to use

Very nice place, and the room/amenities really exceeded my expectations for the price paid. Comfortable, quiet, and secure. The check in/out process was super easy, and the host very helpful

No running water on that night. As usual in Albania we missed a small lamp by the bed:)

A beautiful house arranged with good taste and quality. Accessible, charming and helpful staff on top.

Be aware that the road leading up to the property is very treacherous. You may want to consider if you're up for it.

Good value for money, room was nice and big. Communication with the host was fast when we needed help.
