Sofia Guest House

“Wonderful, Authentic Stay at Sofia Guest House”

I spent two nights at Sofia Guest House while hiking the Peaks of the Balkans Trail, even catching a rainy day to rest. The room was simple but clean and comfortable, the shower was hot, the food plentiful, and I really enjoyed my stay. Bana, the host, made the visit memorable—she was welcoming, kind, and ensured I was well fed and comfortable with several thoughtful gestures. She was eager to share about her family, the region, and its people. We chatted for a couple of hours in the kitchen one afternoon and she happily answered my questions and shared her heritage, giving me deeper insight into the area than I’d gotten elsewhere. Personal connections like that enrich travel, and learning from someone who truly knows the region was one of the best memories of my Balkans trip. Thank you, Bana!

Bana, the hostess, was super friendly and took good care of us; the food was great and the environment was beautiful.

“Très bonne étape sur le trek « peaks of Balkans » dans le joli  village albanais de Vusanje”

I especially liked the warm welcome and Bana’s kindness, the house—partly built by her dad with river stones—and its soothing mountain setting, Bana’s Turkish coffee and the excellent Montenegrin wine “Plantaj,” the dinner on the terrace with Tchoko the dog, the cat and its three mischievous kittens, and everything Bana taught me about Albanian history.

Bana was an absolute gem of a person; I’m thrilled I stayed a few days and heard her stories, she even drove me to the border police to get my documents for hiking to Albania, there are many guest houses nearby but I can’t recommend this one enough, it’s also an absolutely gorgeous location, down in the valley with towering, rocky mountains above you, it was super peaceful and quiet and I slept so good there.
