Kruja Albergo Diffuso , Inside Kruja Castle

I recently learned some deeply disturbing information about Kruja Albergo Diffuso, which has compelled me to leave this review. The owner of this hotel, located within the castle, has shown a shocking disregard for animal life. Xeni, a dedicated castle guard who has worked for the community for years, informed me of the owner’s cruel actions. Despite Xeni’s dedication and love for the animals that keep him company, the hotel owner despises animals. In a heartless act, the owner poisoned a 4-month-and-21-day-old puppy, Azuro , resulting in the poor animal’s death. This was not an isolated incident but rather a reflection of the owner’s ongoing hostility toward animals. I am appalled by such behavior and believe it is important for potential guests to know about this before considering a stay here. If you care about animals and ethical behavior, I urge you to avoid Kruja Albergo Diffuso.

The Albergo Diffusio is located within the castle grounds which allows one beautiful views of the castle and the surrounding mountains. The hotel has recently been beautifully and tastefully renovated. There are a few excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. The drive up the mountain is quite steep and parking is an issue although the hotel owner/ manager was very helpful in meeting us and directing us to where we could park overnight. We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay there.
