Why we like it
We appreciate Villa Maria for what it signals: a small, reviewed property that trusts its setting to speak for itself rather than relying on marketing spin. The high rating from a modest review base suggests owners who pay attention. Staying inside the castle rather than commuting up from Berat town is a different kind of experience.
