A Hidden Gem in Korçë
Step through our doors and leave the modern world behind. Vila Cofiel is a traditional Albanian restaurant with four rooms decorated in 19th-century style — a place where time moves more slowly.
Every detail has been curated: the antique furnishings, the working fireplace, the sound of traditional serenata korçare drifting through candlelit rooms. This is where Korçë comes to celebrate.
“As soon as you step in you fall in love with the traditional decor.”

The Experience
More than a meal — an evening you stumble upon and never forget
19th-Century Rooms
Four uniquely decorated rooms transport you to another era. Antique furnishings, warm colors, and intimate lighting create a world apart from the street outside.
Live Serenata
Traditional Korçare musicians play on Fridays and weekends. The serenata drifts through candlelit rooms — the soul of Albania, live and unfiltered.
Working Fireplace
A real wood-burning fireplace anchors the main room. In cooler months, its warmth and crackling soundtrack turn dinner into an event.
Homemade Raki
Every guest receives a complimentary shot of our baked raki — raki i zier, prepared in-house. Take a souvenir bottle home as a memory of Korçë.
