Kashta: A Home by the Lake

Kashta Hotel was born from a deep love for the breathtaking natural beauty of Lake Ohrid and a desire to share it with the world. Located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Rruga e Vilave, just 20 meters from the lake's edge in Pogradec, we created a place where guests feel at home — surrounded by nature, welcomed by warmth, and cared for with genuine Albanian hospitality.

Our name, 'Kashta,' reflects the spirit of a home away from home. Over the years, we have welcomed families, couples, and solo travelers from across Europe and beyond, offering them a true taste of Albanian lakeside life — quiet mornings on the terrace, evenings at our restaurant with lake views, and easy access to one of the most pristine lakes in Europe.
