Agroturizëm Gjepali

The surrounding is nice. However, I wouldn’t recommend this place. We went there for a wedding, and many things went wrong. 1. They hadn’t told us when booking that the music needs to be stopped at midnight! Which Albanian wedding ends at midnight? If this is a new rule, then please inform people while reserving already. 2. They kept threatening us that the police will come and that we should lower music. It was so disappointing. We had a live band, not possible to lower the music. 3. They kept pushing us to cut the cake as soon as possible, and to throw the fireworks as soon as possible. Everything was feeling rushed. 4. They were collecting plates without people having finished eating 5. Once the first table decided to leave, they immediately started cleaning and removing the plates, indicating the wedding is over - without consulting with the couple or any of the organizers. When asked them to stop doing it, the answer was very rude saying: “We anyways need to clean later, we rather do it sooner and have it done”. Maybe for day events is nice, I can’t say. But for weddings, my experience wasn’t good and always felt rushed and threatened and looking out for the police. Such a disappointment.

We had our wedding there and everyone was so nice especially Pamela was super helpful and kind all the time. Food was amazing.

A fantastic experience visiting Agroturizem Gjepali. The facility is new, clean, modern and comfortable. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient ( thank you Cassandra!). The owner spent time with us explaining and educating us on the history and current status of Albanian wine. He is a passionate and extremely knowledgeable authority on Albanian winemaking. The food and wine we sampled was excellent. Overall a wonderful experience and well worth a visit. Very, very highly recommended

We held our gender reveal event at this venue on October 11th, and overall, everything was nice. The atmosphere was great, the food was good, and it was a beautiful place for an event. We had visited the venue beforehand, and when making the agreement, we specifically asked if we could have the entire place closed for our event. They said yes, for an additional €1000. Please note that I’m saying to close the entire venue — that’s exactly how it was discussed. We were told we could hold the event anywhere we liked — indoors or outdoors. Up to this point, everything was fine. However, on the day of the event, even though we paid the extra €1000, they still allowed other people into the venue. There was another event happening in the back area. When I asked about it afterward, they claimed they had only promised us the indoor and outdoor areas — and that’s where the first lie began. When we wanted to hold the event outside, they made things difficult and didn’t want us to move the tables outside. At the end of the event, they even charged us an extra €100 for “moving the tables,” which I paid while telling them I was not satisfied with the service. The next day, when I went to make the payment to the event organization company, I found out their second lie — the €100 the venue charged us for moving the tables wasn’t even for them. It was actually the organization company who moved the tables. So, to summarize: they tried to prevent us from holding the event outside, they took money for moving tables they never touched, and despite paying extra to close the venue, they still let other people in. I didn’t want to ruin the day by arguing, but the truth is, they didn’t deliver what we paid for. Apart from the beauty of the venue itself, there’s nothing special about it. If you have a lot of money to spare and don’t mind paying extra for things you won’t get, go ahead and choose this place. Otherwise, make sure you discuss every detail in writing and get it signed — and if they break their word, take legal action. These people have a very short memory when it comes to keeping promises.

My advice , be more specific when you order meat, also ask waiters to explain because at the end meat will not be that which ask and they will charge you and even will not give you chanse to take out that which you paid.

Agroturizem Gjepali is a peaceful escape surrounded by greenery. The food is fresh, local, and delicious—simple dishes cooked with care. Great selection of Albanian wines at very good prices. Very good service and a relaxing atmosphere, far removed from the noise, pollution, and chaos of everyday life. We spent a wonderful day as a family, every age group found something to enjoy. Highly recommended.

The location is wonderful, but unfortunately the meals are not vegetarian-friendly. All six main courses offered were meat-based. We had been promised a vegetarian alternative, so we were quite confused when we were served a large portion of plain, steamed, unseasoned vegetables as the main course. The soup, byrek, and eggs in tomato sauce were also rather bland. We may be vegetarians, but we still expect more from a meal than just a means to stay alive. At that point, we had already been traveling through the country for almost two weeks and had consistently loved the food. Sadly, Gjepali was our worst culinary experience. In contrast, Mrizi i Zanave (another agroturizem) was by far the best.

We were here for one night. The location is amazing, and the rooms are fine, but not special and a bit outdated. We had diner in the restaurant at night, but I would recommend to eat somewhere else. It’s expensive, the food is not that good, but most of all, the staff is uninterested and is hard to communicate with. It kind of ruined our experience to be honest.
