Life on the Farm sits in the hills near Gjirokastër, in southern Albania, reached off the main road toward Libohovë. The property combines a traditional Albanian farmhouse with two separate alpine wooden houses, plus an open camping area for tents and caravans. Each of the main accommodations sleeps up to four people and comes with a fireplace, full kitchen, and private outdoor space looking out over the surrounding mountains.

The farmhouse keeps its original wood construction and layout, updated with modern comforts, and suits families wanting a more immersive stay. The two alpine houses are built from natural timber, each with its own terrace or outdoor area, and sit in a quieter, more forested part of the property. Campers can pitch a tent or park a caravan nearby, with access to shared facilities and a fire pit.

Beyond the buildings, the farm itself is part of the experience: guests can interact with animals, see traditional farming methods in practice, and eat produce grown on site. The setting is rural and secluded, with birdsong and open sky rather than any built-up surroundings, making it a straightforward base for couples, families, or small groups looking to slow down for a few days.

Booking runs through Airbnb for the farmhouse and first alpine house, while the second alpine house and camping spots are arranged directly via WhatsApp. The property also lists on Booking.com and Park4Night for campers. Pricing sits in the affordable range, and the farm can be contacted by phone or WhatsApp for questions on availability or facilities.
