Welcome!

Welcome to Hotel Novaj, the finest establishment in Poliçan, heart of Albania's stunning Berat County. Situated on the shores of the Osum River beneath breathtaking mountain scenery, Hotel Novaj is the perfect venue for any occasion: weekend getaways, sun-kissed weddings or even just a welcome stop on a long drive through magnificent Albanian vistas.



You can expect the very warmest of welcomes at Hotel Novaj: one triple and three double rooms await adventurous travelers, and the full-service restaurant provides authentic Albanian cuisine, magnificent views from a riverside courtyard and - of course - plenty of locally-made raki!

Just a stone's throw from UNESCO World Heritage Site Berat, Hotel Novaj is the ideal base from which to explore true Albania, named by Lonely Planet as the world's top travel destination in 2011:

You’ll find fascinating classical sites like ancient Berat, and dramatic mountain citadels, but the mad traffic of Tirana is symptomatic of a bustling, bright city shrugging off its Stalinist grey patina. Squat toilets are no longer the norm and you can even sip cocktails at hip bars while listening to rock bands. Not just the preserve of the adventurous, Albania is a warm and sincerely hospitable country – with enough rough edges to keep it interesting.

For those seeking true Albania - true travel, true natural beauty and a truly warm and welcoming people - Hotel Novaj would be delighted to cater to your desires. Get in touch with us and we'll be more than happy to provide the perfect accommodation for your trip of a lifetime!

Nestled in between Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro, and across the Adriatic from Italy, Albania boasts blue and turquoise seas, beautiful beaches, snow peaked mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests. As well as stunning nature, Albanians themselves are famous for their hospitality, and tourists are welcomed with heart-warming generosity. Home of both Mother Theresa and the great 15th Century hero Skanderbeg, Albania today offers not only beach and mountain holidays, but also a vibrant city life, a relaxing outdoor cafe culture and you will see that it's quickly evolving in a myriad of directions.

Come - discover Albania for yourself!
