Our Benefits
The castle sits on a limestone hill at 557 metres. Beside it rises the fortress mountain, from which the crystal water flows into the hundreds of springs that give the town its name: Kroje, Kruje.
Not a hotel built to look old, but old houses restored and furnished with antique pieces made and preserved by the craftsmen of Kruja.
The Skanderbeg Museum, the Clock Tower, the Ethnographic Museum, Teqja e Dollmes and the Old Bazaar are all inside or beside the castle walls.
Countless trails run through the landscapes around the town, towards Sarisalltik and the plane tree of Taslloi, where a spring still runs in summer.
Served in the courtyard among medieval amphorae, and supplied by the dairies and farms of the area.
National Geographic named it among the 22 hotels its staff love for 2024. Lonely Planet Italia, Smithsonian Magazine and Corriere della Sera have all covered the project.
Albania’s first Albergo Diffuso, opened in Kruja as part of a project adopted by Risi Albania in cooperation with Albergo Diffuso.
