Our Guest Rooms
Please note that Albania does not have an elevator, so all rooms require stairs. First floor of house is elevated off the ground. Second and third floors are accessed by the grand spiral stair which was made in France and shipped over when the home was built. The stairs flow well, and the handrail is solid. The reward for making the climb: beautiful balconies and stunning views!
First Floor Rooms
Second Floor Rooms
(all rooms on this floor have heating and cooling window units)

This room faces the front second floor balcony and has an ensuite bathroom with toilet, marble vanity, and shower. Just don’t use this particular governor’s name on premises….
Saint Gabriel’s Room: a beautiful olive green room with opulent curtains and a queen size half tester bed. This room overlooks the canopy of oaks and the camellia garden.
