HOTEL VALENDINA & RURAL ACTIVITIES
Our
Guesthouse Hotel Bar Restaurant Valendina has been operating in the market for
20 years. Positioned in the village of Vrisera, on the axis Gjirokaster -
Kakavie, the competitive advantage is that it is located near the Greek border,
and only 6 minutes by car (2.8km away) from the big lake of Vrisera (the lake
which we use for activities such as kayaking , fishing, hiking etc). Near the
area is located the Monastery of St. Triads and other lakes of Pepeli, Likomil
and the villages of Selo, Sotire, Koshovice, which can be traversed by car or by
foot at a distance of 10 -15 km. The hotel has a capacity of 12 rooms in total,
3 triple rooms, 7 double rooms, 2 single rooms and the restaurant which has a
capacity of 10 tables + 8 tables in the garden outside. In collaboration with
"Hiking South Albania" we develop outdoor guides trekking, hiking,
activities such as camping and mountaineering. The guides carry out activities
on behalf of our guesthouse, as a way to keep tourists as long as possible and
to offer a full service and an unforgettable experience. Below you will find
some views from the hotel rooms and other facilities:
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, toilet, and TV in the room. Free internet and parking space in front of the building for 15 cars. In addition to hotel accommodation we offer traditional cuisine in our restaurant, where the element of decorative wood prevails which makes the environment warm and family.
For our friends who will visit us we have prepared
a program which includes fishing activity that will
take place in the lakes of Vrisera very close to the
hotel. The person who will take care of this activity
will be Kristo Gjokaj (65 years old), a fisherman for
30 years in the area, and caretaker of the Vrisera
lakes. He will assist tourists and will make available
the reeds provided by the restaurant. Kristo will
also take care to cook the fish on the barbecue grill
near the lakes as a way to relax and stay as
close to nature as possible.
Moreover, tourists will have the opportunity to visit
the dropolis villages in Selo. There they will meet
Selio women, who are known for their polyphonic
group and will dress in traditional dropolis costumes
their dances. They will be given the opportunity to
learn a seliote dance and will dress in traditional
dropolis costumes.
You will also have the opportunity to get acquainted
with the handicrafts that will be demonstrated at
the hotel by our staff and various work
techniques about the traditional costumes.
In addition, together with the group
"Hiking South Albania" we develop
trekking guides and cultural
guides in the cult objects and protected
areas as follows:
