Mountain Vista Guesthouse Shkafi

We loved everything! The rooms were so cosy and the food was delicious. Really lovely owner and so helpful!

The place is very convenient and clean. The breakfast was exceptional and the owners are very friendly and nice! The location is slightly away from the bus station, but it’s on the Theth-Valbona trail, so it’s very convenient if you are planning to hike or finishing the hike.

Wonderful stay at Guesthouse Shkafi! The hosts are absolutely amazing, warm, welcoming, and incredibly service minded. The guesthouse sits right on the Valbona to Theth trail, just a 15 minute walk from Theth, making it a perfect base for exploring the area. The views are postcard quality and we couldn't get enough of the scenery. We'll definitely be back when we return to Theth. Highly recommended!

The lady who runs the place, Suela, is just lovely and tended to our every need. She greeted us by first name throughout and was just very hospitable. The views from the property are fantastic. The guesthouse is about a kilometre along the Valbona trail so you join it quite high up. In addition to breakfast, you can actually get lunch, dinner and drinks here too, which will save you 1km+ hikes down into other places. Keep in mind you'll need to get a taxi from where the bus drops you (1.3km, 150m elevation, rough road), and the taxis will try to exploit you for €20-30 (we didn't pay out of moral obligation). But everything in Theth seems overpriced.

This is a very basic stay, especially considering the price. The guesthouse building is extremely noisy and you can hear the movement and voices of all other rooms, not to mention the crazy loud door handles. The shower is not separated in the bathroom and the floor is flat so the whole room floods. No wardrobe or bathrobe as stated in listing. In fact, the room had no bedside table, cupboard, drawer, or even a hook to hang a towel on.
