'Vanity Fair Italia' writes about Albania: Dream vacations in Berat,

The renowned Italian magazine 'Vanity Fair Italia', in its online version, has published an article about the city of Berat .

In the article titled "Dream Vacation: Berat, Albania, in the 2400-year-old Stone Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site", the cultural and historical features of the city, intertwined at their best, are highlighted.

"Walking through the streets of the historic center of Berat, Albania, you have the impression of being catapulted back in time. This city, since 2008 on the UNESCO World Heritage List, looks like it came out of a children's storybook: stone houses, labyrinthine streets, flower gardens, ancient mosques and churches and a castle that, from above, hides you. From the terrace of the Berat Tradition, a traditional dwelling transformed into a boutique hotel and restaurant, the view is one that is not easy to comprehend. Stretching out my hand, I feel like I can touch the brick roofs of the old houses along the Osum River and the Gorica Bridge, just a few meters away, and it is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable photo. It is ideal for immersing myself in this city with a thousand-year history," it is written, among other things.

The feeling of waking up in the stone city and the tradition of the breakfast table are further described.

"Waking up within the walls of this boutique hotel built in a stone villa and having a hearty breakfast surrounded by the silence of the city that is slowly waking up, before starting to explore it, is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have in Berat and in Albania. On the table you have many options to choose from: fresh fruit juices, coffee, peasant eggs, croissants, pancakes, Albanian fried dough that melts in your mouth, white goat cheese, honey and homemade jams. The tradition of Berat has 6 bedrooms furnished down to the smallest detail: among the carpets with geometric patterns, copper objects, wooden decorations and white curtains hand-embroidered by the city's artisans, the original elements of the structure stand out, such as the fireplaces and carefully preserved stone walls", - it is written about Berat.
