Villa’s Gio is a unique rustic stay, set on the hills overlooking Komani Lake, offering well-equipped cabins with breathtaking views of the lake below. Unlike regular hotels, reaching the cabins is part of the adventure - arrival by private boat transfer (pre-arranged) makes the journey itself memorable.

Staying here allows you to experience the magic of the area after day-trippers leave, enjoying peace, quiet and pristine nature. You can swim directly in the lake from the front of the property, though the water can be cold. Evenings may get chilly, so bring warm clothes.

The on-site restaurant and bar serve local Albanian dishes, adding a cozy touch after a day exploring the lake or hiking trails. This is an ideal overnight experience for hikers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone seeking an authentic off-the-beaten-path stay.

  • Access: Private boat pick-up arranged in advance; parking can also be organized (near Komani Lake ferry)

  • How long to stay: 1–2 nights recommended to fully enjoy sunset, lake swimming, and quiet evenings

  • Good to know: ascent to cabins requires moderate effort
