Theth
This traditional stone guesthouse with a large garden is run by the formidable Roza, who speaks good English and is a great source of information about the area. There are only six rooms, but – rarely for Theth – all have private facilities, even if some of them are not in great shape.
The excellent meals are taken communally around a big table in a cutesy dining room. It's towards the entrance to the central part of the village if you're coming from Valbona.
