    Great views. Amazing hosts. The hosts picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station which made things very easy. They also offered to wash our clothes and hang them up for us. Strongly recommend

    The road to get up is a little steep, you have to be an experienced driver however the husband is super helpful and lets you follow him up the hill.

    Beautiful accommodation with amazing views of the city, the couple who run the place are very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great. They offer a laundry service for a small price and even helped us to jump start our car when we had a dead battery. The room was clean, plenty of bins, good bedding and a lovely balcony with views of the beach. Can’t rate this place higher.

    Ilir and Frederika are amazing hosts ! The room and the facilities are perfect ! The house is on the top of a steep hill , but Ilir offers you the pick up upon your arrival and the drop off on your departure from and to the bus station ! The view from the house is perfect , the beach is 5 min walk and the way back is not that hard if you are used to walking

    Just be aware that the double rooms share the kitchen and balcony (with something in between to divide it into two) which was not so clear from the pictures. Not a big problem, but a little less privacy.

    If you like the more homy feel of staying in a private house this is for you. The sweetest couple who is very welcoming and helpful with the small inquieries you might have. The atmosphere at the place is beautiful with flowers and calm outdoor areas to enjoy. Beautiful view from the balcony. Just a short walk to the beaches and restaurants of the city. I didn't find the hill to the house a problem. Its steep and it's more comfortable not to do in 30 degrees midday, but with a normal fitness level and walking abilities is it's just fine.

    The appartments are located on a steep hill so you need to be a bit fit to reach it, but wasn't a problem for us! Just something to keep in mind. The hosts helped us get up and down with our luggage the first and last day so that was great!

    Everything! Amazing place, amazing view, amazing facilities and lovely hosts

    Beautiful space, beautiful view, beautiful owners! Can’t recommend this place enough. It is on a steep hill - so you will need to be prepared for that but it pays off with that gorgeous view. We had an incredible balcony and were able to sit outside, enjoy breakfast and look at the six baby birds that are currently nested on the property. Would recommend this place!

    nothing, all was great

    Where to begin! Our hosts were kind and helpful from the moment we arrived, the room has a beautiful view and was in very good condition. The ability to use the outdoor kitchen really made our stay, as it was nice to have a homely outside area to be in no matter the weather. We also liked the Albanian radio they left playing for us :-) There's a really friendly cat who comes to say hello in the evenings too! You are well located here along the SH8 road if you have a car to enjoy many of the local places of beauty. It felt like an authentic place to be. On the last night of our stay I developed an ear infection to which our hosts helped immensely from giving me painkillers and a homemade remedy in the early hours, to telling us where to find the doctor for the morning. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend. Thankyou

    We were only there for 1 night, but the owners are very sweet. Since the accomodation is on a very steep hill, the man came to pick us up near a gas station down the hill with his car and drove us to the accomodation. They are very flexible in the pick-up time. That was very kind, because it would be a big challenge to drive on the hill. The room had an amazing view and we had a private bathroom, outside the room.

    The view from the room and balcony is amazing. Rooms were comfortable clean and the AC was working fine. We loved the outdoor kitchen as well. The road to the property is really challenging, but our fiat panda made it easily. Once we knew the car can make it it was easier to drive up and down.

    It’s a quite challenging to get to the place with a car (very very steep hill). But you can park for example near by beach and owner pick you up, no stress 👍🏼.

    Owners are very kind persons, always ready to help. View from the terrace is awesome, room was clean with a fridge, towels, kitchen is ok to use, A/C. Every morning, local dog came to have “breakfast” with us - beautiful 😊. Beaches are 10’ of walk. Restaurants all around city, shop also 10’.

    Great house that just felt like home. Clean and spacious spaces, central location in the city center. The house is up in the hills, so you would have to walk a bit, but nothing too crazy if you are in good shape. The hosts are very nice and welcomed us warmly.

    We could not recommend this accommodation more highly! Perfectly located in Himare with a beautiful view from the balcony. Frederika and her husband were the most friendly and accommodating hosts, making our stay unforgettable. They also picked us up and dropped us to the bus upon arrival/departure. This was our favourite stay of the trip, thanks to the lovely hosts. The room was extremely clean and spacious, and the aircon worked very well to combat the heat. We can’t wait to stay at this property again!!

    The internet is terrible, so only choose this property if you’re happy to switch off for a few days and disconnect. Not easy to work remotely from here. The property is at the top of a steep hill that you can’t drive up easily, so you need to find parking in the busy town and walk up.

    Beautiful view from the balcony. Hosts were kind and helpful - they collected us from the main area of Himare with our luggage and drove us to the guest house. Bed linen and towels smelled amazing, the whole place was very clean.
