Company information

Florian started working in tourism in 2005, with a Dutch company that arranged travel in the Balkans. Florian is an avid traveler. When he noticed there were no hostels or guesthouses in Albania, he pitched the idea to his family to create one. His parents loved the thought of hosting people from all over the world, just as Florian has shared similar experiences. The entire family wanted the world to see Albania and all her natural beauty.

Property information

In 2009 Florian's Guesthouse was the first bed and breakfast-style guesthouse to open in Shkodër, Albania. Breakfast is included in the lodging fee (lunch and dinner are available for purchase per person, per day). All the food is prepared onsite by Age, Florian’s Mom.
