Vila Cofiel is far more than a restaurant. It is a living museum of Albanian hospitality, where four elegantly appointed rooms transport you to the grandeur of 19th-century Korce. Each room tells its own story through antique furnishings, traditional textiles, and the warmth of authentic decor.
Since 2011, we have welcomed guests from Albania and around the world with dishes prepared from recipes passed through generations. Our kitchen celebrates the rich culinary traditions of the region -- from slow-braised meats to fresh seasonal salads, paired with wines from the renowned Korce vineyards and our signature homemade baked raki.
On evenings filled with live serenata korcare and the glow of our working fireplace, Vila Cofiel offers not just a meal, but a memory.
Authentic Albanian cuisine, prepared with devotion to tradition and the finest local ingredients.
