Our Story

The journey of a dream that became a home for all

The story of Vila Melko begins in 1991, when Olsi Melko, after many years of working in Crete, Greece, returned to his birthplace to build what every Albanian longs for a home in Boboshticë, Korçë following his dream to live close to nature and tradition. With the growth of tourism and the need for quality services, on August 15, 2001, with great courage and passion, Vila Melko was born a simple initiative with a clear goal: to bring the experience of authenticity and tradition to the table of both locals and visitors discovering Boboshticë at the time a mission that remains unchanged even today, after so many years. The road hasn’t been easy challenges, obstacles, sacrifices, and a great deal of hard work. But with perseverance and love for tradition, now "Chef Olsi" and his wife Alketa Melko took it all on, turning Vila Melko into one of the first swallows of rural tourism in the city of Korçë.
