    The lady that runs the place is very friendly and helpful. The room was great. It was located at the start of the Theth Valbona hike and we ended up booking again on our return. They were kind enough to let us store a bag for a few nights while we hiked. The breakfast was great. The fried dough balls were some of the best I've had. The views from the restaurant were epic. Highly recommend.

    We would appreciate having a black out curtain due to the light from outside.

    We enjoyed the location above main part of Theth and the beautiful view of the valley. It was a 30 minute walk to the church. This guesthouse is a perfect starting (or ending) point for a Theth-Valbonna hike. Each morning we got a tasty breakfast. The room was cozy and clean. The sheets were soft. Our host was nice and funny.

    There are no negatives, we had the perfect stay.

    Surla was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to give us the best stay possible. She put us in a double room, despite plus booking a twin, as it became available and she saw from our notes that we are a couple. She gave us amazing advice on getting to the Blue Eye, and cooked some incredible home made food (more details below). Surla was kind and thoughtful, a perfect hostess. A massive thank you to her for making our holiday so relaxing and peaceful. The location was beautiful. It was the perfect place to start and end the day, especially for trekking as it took 1/2hr off the journey each way if you are heading to the Valbona pass. The breakfast was amazing and a very generous size, it kept us going all day! Surla was incredibly kind and made sure we had a vegetarian breakfast which was massively appreciated. We also had dinner there both nights. We ordered a mix of dishes (vegetarian soup, chips and bruschetta) and it all tasted incredible. It was lovely home made food which was comforting for the soul after a long day hiking. One thing to note if driving is that the road up from central Theth is a little treacherous but we managed it in a Skoda Fabia.

    Gets a bit too hot in a cabin, so if you plan to spend a bit longer there there is a bit lack of space to relax during a day. Otherwise if you are out for hiking when day it doesn't matter.

    Beautiful views, lovely owners, delightful breakfasts, spectacular location. Conveniently located on way to Valbone. Quite. Clean.

    The shared bathrooms needed a little bit of work, daily cleaning/ frequently flushing toilets would be nice. Whilst we were staying there was a bit of construction going on so the noise and staff around was quite loud at times, especially since they didn’t stop till quite late and we were exhausted after our hiking so a bit of the peace and quiet was missing unfortunately.

    Absolutely stunning guesthouse, the view was just magical. The lady running the guesthouse was so kind and helpful and the rooms were very comfy and cute. The breakfast included was delicious and super fresh and we ate dinner there both nights of our stay and thoroughly enjoyed it, the food was significantly better than Valbone.

    Gorgeous guesthouse with fabulous hosts who went above and beyond. Beautiful food - fresh fish, wonderful pancakes with fig jam for breakfast. Views to die for. After hiking from Valbone to Theth on a warm day we were so pleased not to have to continue down the mountain into Theth and walk into our guesthouse directly on the path. This does mean that you have about 1.5 Km walk into town down a rough track not suitable for cars

    The property is slightly out of the village about a 15 minute walk uphill but it has incredible views and is on the route for the Theth-Valbone hike. the property has rustic charm but everything you need. Lovely host, great food and cosy rooms. Loved warming up by the fire in the evening

    There is no heat, but warm blankets are provided. It took awhile for my feet to warm up, and I should have thought to put warm water in a bottle at the end of the bed or to warm my socks with the hair dryer.

    The guesthouse was welcoming and had a hot homecooked breakfast and excellent coffee. You can arrive in the evening and order dinner off of a small menu. The location is up the hill from Theth on the trail, so it gives you a head start on the hike to Valbone.

    Suela was an absolutely wonderful host. She went above and beyond to accommodate us when we arrived late one day, and was always present and available to cater to ours and any other guests' needs. Breakfast was absolutely delicious - and very generous, perfect for hiking! And that view...wow! Comfy beds, hot water, lovely dinner and a cosy, calm environment. Everything perfect.

    Stayed in this guest house in the summer. Very much liked the warm welcome. Communication with the hostess was as comfortable as possible, and what stunning views open from the terrace, where you can sit and eat, or just look at the mountains.... Very tasty and hearty breakfasts and you can order equally tasty dinners. And also sells insanely delicious homemade wine, which I also definitely recommend you to try

    Great peaceful location away from Theth center, up the hill with a big view of the local peaks. The walk from Theth center is about 25 minutes with a bit of a hilly and rough road, consider a taxi if you’re not a walker or have a low clearance car. If you’re coming from Valbona this place is perfect, right on the trail. Clean and comfortable room. Delicious and generous breakfast included. Dinner is available too, good prices for a hearty meal. Best of all is the person running the place, who works incredibly long hours yet is kind and caring with the customers. We were sad to leave such nice company!

    Chose this guesthouse based on good reviews and location right on Valbone/Theth hiking trail. It is perched up the mountain about a 20/30 min walk from center of town (we walked to/from guesthouse but it may be possible to get taxi back up from center). Views are incredible and you feel nestled in nature. Hostess was lovely, friendly, helpful and provided expectational hospitality. Breakfast was filling and delicious. There did not appear to be any heating in our spacious room but blankets kept us toasty and we slept well. This is the type of guesthouse and service that makes a vacation truly wonderful.

    It’s far from the “center” of Teth but you can have dinner at the place and it’s close from the starting point of the hike to Valbona, so worth it!

    This place was so peaceful and cozy! The highlights were the view and the garden, the breakfast with the fig jam and the kindness of the owner. I will recommend it to everyone coming to Teth.

    Be careful that accommodation is not reachable with normal car but that is not a fault of owners. We stayed 4 nights and breakfast was more or less similar every morning. For us it was ok but someone can enjoy more variety.

    Great location for hiking Valbona and Pejes passo. The people are so nice and welcoming. They helped us when we discovered that our car is not able to reach the accommodation and picked us up even when it was evening. Food was great and we had amazing stay and felt like home 🙏.

    Very happy we stayed here, it was a lovely guest house with very kind staff. We were happy because it was just at the end of the trail head so after a big day of walking we could check in and relax. Incredible views and only a short walk to town.
