Honestly, it’s difficult to find any significant faults with Villa Kristiano 21. If we had to mention something minor, it would be that our stay was too short - we could have easily spent more time enjoying this beautiful villa and exploring the surrounding area.

The villa exceeded all our expectations! The traditional stone architecture combined with modern amenities created the perfect blend of authentic Albanian charm and comfort. The wooden balconies offered stunning views and were ideal for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The location in Sarandë provided easy access to beautiful beaches while maintaining a peaceful, private atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery. The villa was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The host’s attention to detail was evident throughout the property, from the thoughtful amenities to the seamless check-in process.

Our stay in Villa Kristiano 21 was great and we enjoyed every part of it, from the magnificent view, the lovely family managing the villa- Andy and his wife, their beautiful children and Theo, you feel like you are being hosted by family members, Andy and his wife didn’t manage a single effort to help us and all with a smile, the breakfast was great, kept us full all day long. We will definitely come back ! We recommend to everyone who is looking for a peaceful place, far from the hustle and the noise of the city.

Our stay at this villa in Sarandë was absolutely unforgettable. Perched high on the hillside, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city, the Ionian Sea, and even Corfu Island in the distance. The room was spotless, very comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the balcony – the view alone is worth millions. The host and staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Breakfast was on another level – beautifully prepared, delicious, and more than we could possibly finish. We can’t wait to come back!

You need to make sure to choose the sea route the other one it’s not correct and not possible .

Every thing specially the people

The property is not beachfront as shown on site. High up on the hill, a car is definitely needed. When arriving, approach from the sea-side and follow the Wine Bar signs. Google Maps etc. show another route (by a mosque, if you drive by it, go back) from the land-side of the hill which is not accessible.

The room was spacious, modern and clean; owners very friendly. Has a very good view of the bay.

Perfect! The view, the room and especially the service and the kindness. Every day another selfmade breakfast, normal or vegan. It was great

We pretty much loved everything, but we can see that that an infinity swimming pool is being built on the premise and it will be a definitely add-on to it!

The staff is great and friendly and fun. The room is stunning, beautiful and the wine bar which is adjacent felt like cozy place where we would always end up the day. The place is surrounded by fruit trees, and the views! Probably the best view in all Sarande. Oh did I mention that each breakfast pretty much made? Sure we didn't have to eat lunch later on... And I managed to taste three different fruits I had never tasted in my life. Just a tip to get there as Google Maps and Waze are not very reliable, make sure that you're not coming from the back of the hill which was suggested from the highway), go first towards the beach and then follow the navigation back up. You want to access it from downtown. The other way will work but oh my gosh the 180o turns at 60% elevation... You might want to avoid that! We walked a couple of times to the beach and the boardwalk. Takes about 20 minutes, but it's a salty walk-up. Perfect for burning the calories you ate downtown...

Nothing

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were incredibly kind, and always ready to help. Our room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable.

I loved EVERYTHING about my stay here. The view, the breakfast, the facilities, the manager, everything was PERFECT. If you ever visit Sarande, you should definitely stay here. For easy access, I'd advise that you rent a car and follow the sign that says "WINE BAR" to locate the place.

We had some difficulty finding the accommodation using Google maps because it tried to take us through some dirt roads, best to follow the signs to the wine bar.

The room was great, very spacious, and incredibly comfortable. We enjoyed a stunning view from our room. The breakfast was more than generous, with a wide variety of delicious options. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location was close enough to Saranda town but also not in the hustle and bustle of town

Great location, great price. Lovely room with amazing view.Andy looked after us very well.

Peaceful location away from the busy town. Staff are so helpful and friendly, and go above and beyond. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and great view. Breakfast served every morning, lots of food, you will not go hungry. Definitely recommend spending the evenings watching the sunset and having a drink in the wine bar. The best location in all of Sarande. Car would be beneficial for this accomodation, however taxi services are available around the town and the staff at Villa Kristiano will help you to arrange.

Only the road to arrive there is a little bit steep, but it was worth the while and its not their fault.

The service was excellent, if u needed a taxi or a pizza they arrange everything for you. Also very nice view and a very clean room, which they clean every day. They had excellent wine and the staff was really nice and kind.

The only thing is the road to reach the place but after the first day, you will get use to it .

One of the best places where I’ve stayed! Amazing staff and the breakfast was delicious! They helped us giving a lot of useful information . The room was spacious and comfortable, I can say that it’s a 5 stars and far from the chaos.

Beautiful location and very friendly hosts. Getting to the accommodation by foot can be challenging but it’s definitely worth it. The hosts even offered to take us to the city centre which we greatly appreciated. Breakfast was also exceptional, we were spoilt for choice. Would highly recommend visiting this villa!

The boutique hotel is on the top of Sarandë; the road to the hotel is hilly but is worth to drive. Follow the signs “Wine Bar”

It was our honeymoon and we are very happy with our choice. In Sarandë it is the best place to stay. Because in the center it is so loud and crowded; but at Villa Kristiano you have silence, romance and priceless atmosphere. Only 1 km away from the heart of Sarandë. In Sarandë it is crowded and loud; but at Villa Kristiano 21 you have silence, very nice ambiance and romance. Andi and his wife are so kind and helpful; you feel always appreciated. The breakfast is marvelous. There is also Wine bar; very good local wine and delicious wine plate. The breakfast was the most delicious breakfast ever we had. The rooms are very big, clean and comfortable. The sheets and the towels were so clean and white; like home.. Welcome to your home in Sarandë..

There is absolutely nothing to not like about it!

The couple who own the Vila are incredible, pleasant people and did everything to make our stay perfect. It was a special treatment that you don't receive anywhere else. We arrived on my birthday and there were beautiful flowers and a happy birthday banner in the room. The room is massive, super clean and the decor is very modern. Also, the bathroom is huge with an excellent shower. The sea view from the room is breathtaking and the breakfast is served individually at the table with a wide variety of options. Everything delicious and fresh. And, it has a wine bar in the villa with a great selection of wines and you can enjoy it with the best view of Saranda. Without a doubt, the best experience we have ever had in a hotel. We just have to thank Irena and Andi and without a doubt we recommend the Vila as the best place to stay in Saranda and we will definitely stay there again every time we return to Albania. We had such a lovely time there!
