Reviews of Villamaria Hotel

good location

no staff after 2pm, very basic and small rooms

A wonderful place for a family holiday! Very quiet and comfortable, perfect for relaxation and a good night’s sleep. Villamaria offers everything you need: a private beach, bicycles to explore the area, a playground for kids, and a warm family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peaceful and quality holidays in Zvernec

I had a truly wonderful stay at Villamaria Hotel. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with beautifully maintained surroundings and a peaceful vibe. The staff were incredibly kind, professional, and always ready to help. My room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, offering a perfect space to relax. The food was delicious. Whether for rest or vacation, Villamaria is a perfect choice—I would gladly return and recommend it to anyone looking for a great hospitality experience!

One downside was that the hotel’s restaurant wasn’t operating for dinner or during the day, which was a bit inconvenient. It would’ve been great to enjoy meals on-site. Still, everything else—from the atmosphere to the service—was excellent.

When we entered Vlorë and, guided by the GPS, drove along a long road through the forest, we had the impression that we were lost. But the moment we saw the name Villa Maria, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for: a beautiful white building, with elegant balconies standing out in a modern style, set right on the seafront, surrounded by mountains, with a vast, green courtyard. At the entrance, we were greeted by a polite and well-mannered young man, who was kind and attentive every single day. The room impressed us from the very first moment – a beautiful bathroom, a huge bed which later proved to be extremely comfortable, with a perfect mattress. Every night we enjoyed peaceful sleep, and the daily cleaning was impeccable. Breakfast was a delight every single morning – delicious, varied, and included in the price. The hosts are extremely welcoming and attentive to every detail. And the sea… simply extraordinary! Calm, without waves, surrounded by mountains. The sunbeds are placed at a comfortable distance, so you feel as if you’re in your own world – free. Next to it there’s a terrace with a bar, but no noise, no music – only the sound of the sea. It felt like Heaven on Earth. In the evenings, from the balcony, we admired breathtaking sunsets and the peaceful sea. We booked 10 days here and didn’t have a single moment of regret. We will return every year, together with friends and family, because this is the place many are searching for, but rarely find. We were lucky enough to discover it. Our heartfelt thanks to the hosts – we wish you great success and wonderful guests! Thank you, Booking, for this recommendation, and congratulations for promoting such wonderful hotels as Villa Maria Hotel.

The property is perfect for families and couples who are looking for a relaxing time, away from the noise of the busy beach areas. The rooms are very clean, spacious and extremely comfortable with balcony, fridge, tv, and even a desk for me to work from. The bathrooms are beautiful and spacious. This is my third time at this place. The breakfast was perfect and generous. There are places nearby to eat as well as delivery to the hotel. The sea is very calm and warm and due to its location it never gets wavy. I love it here and call it paradise.

Nothing not to like

Nice beach and nice people.

Far from the city,

Loved the close proximity to the beach. Sea was not too deep. Relatively quiet, not crowded. More than enough sun loungers. Staff were friendly. Adequate parking. Room was a good si,e with large sower

Limited choice for breakfast. No option for coffee or tea, no hot water, had to ask for hot water. At check out credit card machine not working so had to go to 3 separate cash ma hi es to withdraw cah, almost missed my flight as a result. The owner is not friendly, was quite rude to my husband. Limited dinner menu.

The location was great. It was perfect if you want to be away from the city. It was really quiet. You could hear birds singing. The staff was awesome. They were friendly and were always ready to help you with your requests. Food was good.

The beach was with concrete and you had to climb down stairs to enter into the water. One day we had ants in the room but the staff helped us immeadiately with insecticide. They need to buy new towels and sheets.

It is the third time staying here , its wonderful , the staff is gentle and polite , the place is adorable , the service is excellent!

Everything

A perfect and wonderful place for a vacation! Waking up to an incredible sea view was something we adored, and we are still recalling that view. The breakfast was excellent, and the fine dining restaurant offered some delicious seafood and wines. If you’re coming by car, the hotel is very well connected to the rest of the Albanian Riviera. Highly recommended!!

The only good thing about this place was the breakfast The staff was good.

The place needs upgrading for sure. The sheets and towels were old with holes and stains.the bathroom shower was rusty. The balcony was all spider webs everywhere I could not even seat outside because of a lot of mosquitoes. Is not worth it for the money that i paid for sure. Not using this hotel no more.

Nothing

What a fantastic location. Clean hotel with beach bar. Interesting price quality.

Breakfast service a bit slumpy. Got one coffee. Understaffed maybe?

The quiet and peaceful location of the hotel has a pleasant private beach and free sunbeds. The hotel has great potential. I don't like crowded beaches and it was very pleasant here.

I have a feeling that the hotel is run by people who have no idea about this profession and who do not pay much attention to what is happening in the hotel. The quality of the cleaning is terrible. We found numerous traces of the previous occupants in our room. Sometimes we received fewer towels, other times fewer bed linens than the number of people we were. The restaurant is very amateurish. Breakfast was pleasant and varied, although I strongly suspect that somehow tap water got into the served drinks, causing us to get a stomach infection, which cost us at least one valuable day of our vacation. We tried having dinner at the hotel's restaurant twice... Not once did we receive what we ordered. Only two staff members could communicate in English, which also caused problems. However, I noticed that they are trying to improve. Whenever we approached the staff with an issue, they tried to solve it. Overall, if this were a cheap hotel, only the stomach flu would have left bad memories, but at this price, one can expect much more professional service. It was a disappointment, but I hope they gain the necessary experience and reach the appropriate standards.
