Although it focuses more on hotel reservations, www.albania-hotel.com is happy to arrange tours for its clients. These will usually be in a saloon car with an English speaking driver, which means there is considerable flexibility if, for example, you decide you want to spend more time in a place than original scheduled.

Albania Directory: Accommodation has undergone a rapid transformation in Albania, with the opening of lots of new, custom-built, private hotels to replace the run-down state ones. Another positive development for visitors is the conversion of homes and villas into so-called private hotels. For budget travellers, these are without doubt the best way to go. Outside of Tirana, Durresi and Saranda the choice of lodgings is limited, but there's usually a good hotel or B&B in most price categories. It is worth noting that tourism has just starting to take off in Albania, and the accommodation scene is developing quite-rapidly. The local hotel booking company Albania-hotel.com (www.albania-hotel.com) is a reliable source for finding out about new lodgings; the company does a good job as assessing recently opened hotels

The most useful towns with good accomodation options for exploring the west side of Lake Ohrid are Struga in Macedonia and Pogradeci in Albania. Neither, it has to be said, win any prizes for charm or beauty, but prices would be difficult to beat. In Pogradeci, a good room for two can easily be secured for €20. Bookings for a range of Pogradeci hotels can be easily made at www.albania-hotel.com which also has useful tourist information-including a mention of the mosaics at Lin.

Few hotels and fewer private rooms have Web sites, though those intent on booking online will have some luck on www.albania-hotel.com

We think that without your web site, we probably would not have come to Albania at all. So we really did depend on your web site to choose the hotel.

We would like to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Albania. It was great to have Klodi driving us around for three days. We don’t think that we could have experienced anywhere near as much of Albania if we had tried it alone in such a short time. Thank you, Klodi. Not only did we get to see some beautiful places; we also got to know a real Albanian character!

We really did enjoy our holiday in Albania, and would like to return in a few years’ time. We hope Albania doesn’t change for the worse before then. Good luck to you all in the future, and thank you all again for making our honeymoon special !”

Abbiamo trovato nella vostra agenzia competenza e cortesia. Gli alberghi che ci avete prenotato sono stati tutti ottimi (nel rapporto qualità - prezzo) e le escursioni fatte tramite voi sono state estremamente interessanti. Quanto all'Albania, il paese ci è piaciuto moltissimo: mare, montagne, siti archeologici, paesaggi ed arte sono ben presenti nel vostro paese. La gentilezza e l'ospitalità albanesi sono veramente encomiabili. Consiglio vivamente a tutti gli italiani di andare in Albania, sicuro che non se ne pentiranno. …"

We were very satisfied with your service and with the accommodation in hotels Kolping and Nais. We recommend your travel agency to our friends if they plan to go to Albania. Albania is very beautiful country and we hope we visit it again.”

I forgot to tell you that I had a fantastic time in Albania in June. You booked several hotels for us. Everything worked out and the hotels were brilliant. We loved the country and will visit again! I have already recommended it to all my friends and several are going. Although we went for the sites, what we loved most was the friendliness of the Albanians and the food (delicious!).”

Thank you very much of all your support and arrangement concerning our holiday in Albania. The hotel was excellent and everything work perfectly there. And greetings to the men who picked us up at the airport. You have a great system and I hope you will be successful in future! "

I just wanted to drop you short note and thanks for all the help. Hotel booking was painless as well as other arrangements, even the ones "on the fly". Superb service and special thanks for Klodi for the good company, information and fun time! Hopefully seeing you again soon!"

I do appreciate Albania ... and I will recommend the land and your site that is kind and well informed"
