    The road to the hotel is mountainous and there is no lighting for the last 300m,

    The hotel is located on a hill and the view from the balcony was very nice during the day and the night. The room was clean and comfortable with new furniture. The Staff was very nice and helpful. There are nice beaches just a few minutes away. There is a free parking in front of the hotel

    Wifi wasn’t amazing always - and we booked to have good wifi. As it’s up a hill, more facilities needed like a little portable stove top, plates and a few more utensils to allow cooking and breakfast / lunch preparation. Make it more of a studio for people self cater with food. Plenty of room to do this in the apartment. Bathroom needs a shower curtain or non slip floor.

    New, modern, lovely amazing view and big beautiful balcony was idyllic and lovely local birds.

    Had a very lovely stay. Especially the owner, who also lives in the house, is super nice and very helpful. You can always contact her if you need anything. The rooms are basic but very clean and spacious. The view is beautiful and the beach is nearby, it's a short but steep hill up to the hotel. I've started a few hiking tours from here in both directions north and south, which was convenient. It's very quiet at night, no traffic, no barking dogs, no passers-by. The beds are very comfortable so you really get to relax. Absolutely recommend!

    Great hotel with a beautiful view, nothing beats seeing the ocean as soon as you open your eyes each morning. The facilities are luxurious, best shower I've had during my entire trip through Albania, and the service was also excellent, all our questions and requests were instantly answered! If you are planning to go to Himarë, make sure you stay at Stonevilla Buta!

    Communication prior to our arrival that our room wasn’t ready due to maintenance repairs would have been appreciated.

    Clean and tidy room, with excellent views! Host was nice. Located on the top of a hill at the end of the bay - not far to the beach, although you do have to walk up a steep hill on the way back!

    It is quite a challenge to climb up the hill where the property is located. You will choose to go everywhere by car because of that. A fridge in the room was leaking.

    Fab view, nice staff, secluded location. Clean and quite place with magnificent view on the bay.

    The surveillance camera on the post next to our balcony was positioned rather intrusively right onti our balcony instead of a more relevant location, like the side door of the building.

    The guesthouse is nicely located on a hill with great views over Himare. Parking was easy in the off-season. The hostess was very kind and attentive.

    We liked everything. Few things to add - some teaspoons and couple of packets of tea or coffee would be nice to have next to the kettle. And if the hotel served breakfast it would have been ideal.

    Spectacular view, modern room and bathroom. Helpful and friendly staff.
