Guesthouse Relax

Updated 2026Çerem, Valbona Valley

A timber-and-plaster family guesthouse in the remote hamlet of Çerem, high on the Peaks of the Balkans route north of Valbona. Walkers either take a room in the house or pitch a tent in the garden, and food is cooked and served on site. Booking.com lists one part of the property separately as a self-contained holiday home, a single bedroom with a kitchenette, a hot tub and a terrace, so check which you are reserving. The meadow setting under the peaks makes it a peaceful, genuinely off-grid overnight for long-distance walkers.

Timber and stone buildings of Bujtina Polia guesthouse below snow-covered peaks in Theth
Guesthouse

Bujtina Polia

A family bujtina in the heart of the valley, with timber-and-stone buildings set against the snow-dusted peaks of the Accursed Mountains. Rooms are simple and warm, and the in-house restaurant serves the hearty home cooking that defines a stay in Theth, traditional dishes cooked daily from seasonal produce sourced in the village and on nearby farms. The Polia brothers opened it in 2002, and it stands on Logu i Kishës, the church meadow, which puts the stone church a couple of minutes away on foot. Rooms run from singles and doubles through to a triple and a duplex, and breakfast is included; the guesthouse quotes doubles at around €60 and the duplex at about €100, though mountain rates move year to year so confirm when you book. It runs roughly April to November, and also arranges airport and city transfers, trekking-pole and map hire and advice on the local trails. Rooms have private bathrooms with walk-in showers and parquet floors, and the balconies look onto the garden, the mountains or the river. Breakfast is laid out as a buffet, with continental, Italian and vegetarian options, and there is free private parking on site. The hosts speak English, Italian, Spanish and French.

Stone farmhouse and wooden garden pavilion of Bujtina Terthorja in the Theth valley
Guesthouse

Bujtina Terthorja

A restored stone farmhouse with a red-tiled roof and a wooden garden pavilion, standing on a wide green meadow ringed by mountains. It is one of the higher-rated bujtina in the valley, run as a genuine family home with traditional highland dinners. The family describe the house as traditional stone and wood, about two hours from Shkodra, with a garden big enough that every group gets its own corner and room to pitch a tent, and food that is local and traditional. Rooms are family rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, heating, a desk and a seating area, including a 28 square metre triple with a balcony and mountain views. Breakfast is continental, with local specialities and fresh pastries. There is a bar, an outdoor fireplace, outdoor seating, fast free WiFi and free private parking. The hosts speak English, Italian and Albanian, and the guesthouse takes cash only.
