Our Story
A quiet table above the valley
Tucked into the hills of Velabisht just outside Berat, Korija is the kind of place people find once and then keep coming back to. It's family-run, unhurried, and built around a terrace view that guests describe as spectacular — the sort of backdrop that makes a two-hour lunch feel completely reasonable.
In the kitchen, everything is cooked the way it's always been done here: slowly, with local ingredients, and with genuine care. Guests consistently point to the same things — food made with love, service that's fast without ever feeling rushed, and a staff that treats every table like family.

The Thousand Windows
White Ottoman-era houses stacked up the hillside in the Mangalem and Gorica quarters — Berat's postcard view.
Osum River Valley
The river that carved this whole valley — a scenic drive or a quiet walk along the water.
