Il paese - The rustic Peza

"Il Paese" is a rustic villa in Peza village, (smth around 30 km from Tirana) with a classy design and great menu (and quality).
As an evaluation, i'd give a 4.5/5, considering location, food quality, service and entertainment.

It holds a story, or few for that matter, on its shoulders:

1.The village itself has its national celebration day, "Festa e Pezes" on September 16th, to remind "Peza Conference" and anti-fascist movement partisan gatherings. Every year, the municipality holds a two days festival with several music stages, bbq stands, beer stands and picnic places. People usually sleep outdoor on Peza Park during these two days. It's a very nice experience to participate.

2.The villa that now is "il Pease restaurant", used to be the home of a known albanian political character: Myslym Peza. He served as deputy chairman of the presidium of the People's Assembly of Albania between 1946-1982. His family now is the owner of the house and converted it to a prive' restaurant.


3.The restaurant opened in 2012.


4. Every summer thursday night, there's a rock night. live music and ground sitting. Amazing!
