We've been travelling for seven years and have visited 81 countries. Slowest around the world with Sal & Wayne Schmidt.

Three nights turned into six nights at this newly launched design boutique hotel in early 2021, with the best view of the Resurrection of Christ Cathedral of Korçë. It is a lovely village surrounded by beautiful mountains, unique old homes, architecture and the old bazaar. It is an excellent destination for nightlife, too.



Hotel & Spa

The rooms were spacious, modern, and designed with gorgeous bathrooms and lovely balconies. We found the Deluxe Double Room very comfortable for our six-night stay. The mattresses on the beds were too soft for us, but they were very cosy all the same, and the linens were high-quality. When booking the hotel, I recommend emailing directly to discuss the rooms available and details.



It was one of the very few hotels with a Spa and Hamman. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience it, but it looked beautiful and would be the perfect place to relax and escape during your stay. There is a great menu of treatments available.


Breakfast is self-service with coffee as you prefer to order. The spread balanced healthy fruits, yoghurts, and nuts to your traditional pastries and eggs.



Rooftop Restaurant

This is the best steakhouse in Korce. The meat was absolutely incredible, cooked to perfection. There is a large selection of meat from which to choose your preferred cut.



We dined throughout the week most days, and each and every meal was incredible, from the soups to the salads to the mains.




Cocktails were exceptional and the wine list was extensive with a mix of the top Albanian, Italian and French red and whites.



The views from the rooftop restaurant and bar were mesmerising over the beautiful orthodox church.



Gerti and team were delightful. We loved connecting with Gerti, and our hearts warmed when he arrived early for his shift to wish us farewell on our future travels. He presented us with the most generous gift and said, 'So you will never forget us as you travel; a piece of us is with you. You spend time with us every time you look at the church'.


It's moments like these that we are eternally grateful for the precious people we meet while we travel and create beautiful friendships worldwide.

A very special thank you to Elena also for her local tips and for organising our transfer to Macedonia. It was always a pleasure chatting with Elena and seeing firsthand her talent in creating flower table arrangements for events. It made us wish we had a birthday to celebrate with friends.



We loved chatting with the team and feeling like part of the family; they all worked well together and loved interacting with guests.
