    The property was very well located close to see and city, clean and tidy, all useful amenities; overall comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the homemade plum and strawberry reçel amazing. Qirjako and Afroditi (couple that owns and manages) very welcoming, nice and polite to talk too. Next time in Himara, Vila Kosteli is my perfect stay.

    What a wonderful stay in this lovely couple's small hotel. Our room was pretty basic, but had everything we needed, was immaculate, cool and quiet, and featured a large (shared) patio overlooking Maraç Beach and Prinos Beach. We enjoyed the fact that the room was almost silent despite being above the main road, and was only a few minutes' walk from both the beach and the bustling seaside promenade. But the highlight was the couple themselves, who were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They were literally waiting for us by the road when we arrived, carried my wife's heavy suitcase up about six flights of stairs, served us cool drinks, and arranged a taxi to Gjirokastër. The next day, they provided a homecooked breakfast, even accommodating my vegan diet with a platter of fresh vegetables. They also provided advice on visiting the old town and castle of Himarë and actually drove us there and back the next day while refusing any payment for the rides. Best of all, when we were scammed by the greedy man at the entrance to old Himarë, who charged us an entrance fee but pocketed the money, our host drove back and confronted him about it. Amazing!

    The owners of Vila Kosteli are very nice and accommodating. We were given our choice of tea, coffee or juice on arrival. The rooms were clean and the beds are comfortable. The next morning we had a very nice breakfast. We were served juice, coffee, eggs of our choice, yogurt, and rice pudding. So much food was prepared for us. A pleasant surprise!

    The location was very central - near all the beaches - with one straight across the street. The restaurants and bars were very near - and lovely. All very good value. The hosts were so friendly - always there with a smile. We had a fabulous terrace with a sea view. The breakfasts were delicious - with local options available - all home cooked. The drive south to Butrint was spectacular. Wonderful part of Albania to explore.

    Having to leave

    Perfect location - 2mins walk to main Himare strip & 5/7mins walk to Potami & Prinos beaches. Very quiet & peaceful location. Room was large & spacious- modern decor - large comfy bed - good quality linen/bedsheets/towels. Large bathroom with the best shower ever - great pressure & hot-hot water. Plenty of storage space - and the large fridge was a bonus. Clean inside & outside - beautifully decorated & excellent workmanship Excellent terrace space with sunbeds and great views over the beaches. The hosts, Aphrodite & Jack, were the most kindest, peaceful, happy people - always wanting to help & made things as smooth as possible. Keen to support us visiting the surrounding areas, and very helpful with directions & transport to surrounding areas - t was a pleasure to meet them 100% would stay there again

    The host was exceptionally friendly. We arrived very late and we were greeted at the property. Views were spectacular from the patio outside the room. We fell asleep there and moved into our room at night. Breakfast was served on the top floor. Eggs were cooked perfectly. They also had a home-made orange marmalade that you should definitely try. Rooms were clean and modern. Aircon was available but we didn’t need it. Parking was in front of property.
