Rukaj Vacation Rentals

"We had great rooms with balconies overlooking the bazaar. Breakfast was delicious. We had a couple of issues - neither room had any cold water at the basin which made cleaning teeth unpleasant. And no toilet roll in one room on arrival. But we had a lovely stay and would recommend this hotel in such a fab setting. Easy parking too"

"A very comfortable sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant on-site was excellent, so quick at serving our meals! A great view from the balcony. Walking distance to the Bazaar and Fort."

"The front desk staff was amazing. She walked us outside to show us where to park and answered all our questions. We loved the restaurant for dinner. It is a bit noisy but it is on a busy street so it was expected. The shower had a few hairs in it that weren’t ours and the shower drain didn’t work well. However overall it was a great stay!"

"This place is simply FANTASTIC! The minute you walk in, Velo warmly welcomes you as if you were part of the family. His mom Tatiana’s cooking is simple, authentic and absolutely delicious. The rooms are basic yet spacious, comfortable and super clean. Make sure to ask for the house barrel aged Raki, as smooth and luscious as a drink can get. Situated at short drive (30ish minutes) from the airport, I highly recommend as I first stop once you land in Albania… or a last night before going back home! Make sure to stay more than one night however, and ask Velo and his cousin Marjan for the morning hike up the hills, through the thousand year old olive garden. From the property you can reach a fabulous beach frequented by locals (Tale, 20 min) or drive up to Rozafa Castle (1h). Some roads can be a bit bumpy tough: when you get in and out, make sure you drive through the villages, don’t use short cuts Waze would suggest. All in all, one of the best travel stays I have ever had! ❤️"
