La Casa di Fatmir is more than just a guesthouse – it’s a labor of love, born from a family’s passion for welcoming guests with open arms and offering them a place to feel at home, far from home.
Our story begins in the heart of Shkodër, one of Albania’s most historic and culturally rich cities. Fatmir, the founder and host, together with his family, envisioned turning their peaceful family home into a space where travelers could rest, connect with nature, and explore the beauty of northern Albania with ease and comfort.
We are just minutes away from Shkodër’s city center and famous landmarks like Rozafa Castle, Shiroka Village, and the Marubi Photography Museum. We also help guests organize unforgettable day trips to Komani Lake and Shala River—two of Albania’s most stunning natural destinations.
We understand that travel plans can change, and arrivals don’t always happen during office hours. That’s why La Casa di Fatmir offers 24-hour check-in. Whether you arrive early in the morning or late at night, you’ll always be welcomed with ease.
Over the years, we’ve welcomed guests from all over the world – solo travelers, couples, families, cyclists, backpackers, and even digital nomads. What they all have in common is the desire for something real: a safe, clean, and heartfelt place to stay while discovering Albania.
