    Kitchen stove could be bigger, this ceramic heater can´t almost boil a watter for spaghetti.

    his accommodation is a true paradise on earth. The rooms are nice and very clean, equipped with a comfortable bed, working AC, a fridge, and a smart TV. The owner is extremely kind and always happy to help. Coffee and homemade cake are available for breakfast. The rooms are surrounded by a beautiful garden that provides shade and a pleasant place to sit. The beach is just a short walk away, as well as the town. There is plenty of parking space and drinkable water available, which is not always a given in Albania. The shared outdoor kitchen is convenient for preparing breakfast or heating up a meal, but it’s not equipped for larger cooking. Highly recommended.

    Very friendly owner, lovely rooms and communal area. Fresh coffee and cake every day was a nice touch.

    Hosts were unbelievable and even served fresh cake to the guests every morning. Room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was nice and clean. Bathroom was a little small but I’m a pretty big guy. Full outdoor kitchen for guests to use full of everything you will need. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Be sure you are ok with a walk though. It’s about 20-25 min uphill from the first beach and about 30-35 min to other beaches. We don’t mind walking but it could be tough after a long day on the beach. Would still stay again even with the walk

    The place was exceptionally beautiful and the property and the garden extremely well taken care of by the owner. A very calm location, the road to there was good and there was enough parking. The owner is really attentive and gave the place a personal touch, making it feel homey showing the true Albanian hospitality. 11/10 would stay again!!

    Only the walk back uphill from the beach in the hot sun. Easier by car.

    Exceptional place to stay. Lovely clean modern cabins with TV, air con, mozzie screens and lovely patio with chairs and deckchairs, all set in a calm beautiful garden of colourful flowers, vegetables and greenery and some cute kittens. There is an amazing outdoor kitchen area for all to use, with lovely seats in shade and free coffee and cake is offered every morning. Freddy the manager is an awesome guy, so friendly and attentive to all your needs. The place is away from the bustle of Himare but just 5 mins by car, 10-15 mins walk to lovely Potami beach, with lovely views and swimming and lots of bars, restaurants and grocery shops. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay.

    It’s not really a drawback, since it’s clear from the map that there’s a short walk to and from the beach. Just keep in mind that having a car or taking a taxi might be more comfortable, especially during the midday heat when walking uphill can be a bit challenging.

    Day and night, you feel like you’re in a little fairy tale because of the abundance of flowers planted all around! The room had air conditioning, a TV, and an insect repellent device. Since we stayed for several nights, our towels were changed and cleaning was offered. The kitchen is accessible 24/7, just like the cabin you’ll be staying in. If you choose these apartments, you’ll be close to a beach with a more beautiful mountain view than on the other side.

    Nothing!

    IF YOU STAY IN HIMARE STAY HERE!!! The most beautiful place surrounded by so many plants and flowers and types of greenery - so refreshing after a hot day. The hosts are a lovely couple and helped us so much with taverna and beach recommendations and knew the area in so much depth. The kitchen was a great place to cook with a full spit and brick grill alongside all the usual appliances like a gas hob, kettle and sandwich press. The hosts give you coffee and homemade delicious cake each morning and there are individual fridges in each room for storing your food and drinks. The air con works brilliantly and the cabins are so homely and cosy with an en-suite bathroom. Towels and the nicest smelling shower gel ever are provided and as soon as you step out the door in the morning you’re greeted by the heavenly view and the fresh garden smells!! It was the highlight of our whole trip thank you!! ❤️

    Road up to the property is bumpy. We were on a motorbike but it was okay. For cars no problem.

    Our terrace at a view over de vegetable/ flower garden. The owners are really friendly and speak good English. We used the kitchen every day. Opposite they are building a small boutique hotel, it’s almost finished. The workers are very nice and quiet.

    The property is perfect but you do need to have good mobility to reach the place if you have no car. We stayed 4 nights and walked to and from Potami beach with its restaurants and little shops everyday. 20mins there and 20 mins home. But it is steep and uneven on the last 10min track to the chalets. It’s about a 40min walk into town centre.

    The cabins are simple but well designed and d have a refrigerator in each room. The bathrooms work well though very small. The gardens are pretty and shaded mainly by grape vines - lovely! The grounds, though small, are beautifully shaded and screened from the sun and development work close by. It felt very peaceful and rural. Lovely to have a here of sheep with their friendly shepherd pass by each evening. Dhimitra was a wonderful host and always quick to respond to questions. Good cooking facilities.

    If you want to have a peaceful stay, this it the place. It’s better to have a car to stay there but near to it there are plenty of restaurants and market. We stayed there for 4 nights and it was good. We recommend!

    The owner was very helpful and kind, offering a cake every morning. Because of the shared kitchen you could make yourself a dinner, a cup of coffee or tea. The atmosphere was incredible due to the nature elements and the view. The cabin was a pleasant change from most of the other accomodations in Albania. Even the location was good so don't be scared of not being at the very centre. All one could need was nearby. Thanks for the stay!

    It was a bit too far to walk to the beach and the last bit of the road was not paved well (but it’s supposed to be finished next year)

    Great host, a very nice garden, a cozy atmosphere and a relatively quite spot as well. Good AC too :)

    The location wasn' t near the city centre and there weren't markets or supermarkets around in case we needed to buy something fastly

    The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff was really nice and helpful. It was a quite place where you could have a good sleep and a very good time with friends or family. The location is good, near to Potam beach but not very near with the city centre. My experience was very positive, so I recommend this place to stay and have a good vacation.

    Road to accommodation was still under construction, and was a little to far to comfortably walk to bars and restaurants

    Cabins were lovely and well provisioned. Air Con worked really well. Great setting in the gardens, well set out communal space. Host was really welcome.
