Perfect stay right next to the beach with the most adorable owners. They took care of us girls like we were family and everything from the delicious breakfast to their happy smiling faces made our stay wonderful. The beach is a few steps away and so are some really nice restaurants. The main bus stops are a few minutes away and the owners were nice enough to also help us with taxis. Highly, highly recommend if you visit Himare ! ♥️
Perfect stay for those wanting a relaxing beach vacation! We had a perfect time with breathtaking views, amazing breakfast, and exceptional hosts (owner + his wife). Parking out front was stress-free, check-in was so easy, and the location was great. It made walking to different beaches and boat tours simple. Our room was spacious with good AC, hot water in the shower, and a large balcony with lounge chairs which were perfect to relax at the end of the day.
Best place we stayed in Albania, the couple that run the hotel are lovely, breakfast is amazing. The rooms were very comfortable, modern bathrooms amazing view. The location in Himare is perfect, close to everything without feeling overwhelmed by it.
We just stayed for 2 nights three days with our family of 5. It was a great and easy stay. Everything you need and a lovely breakfast. The owner and his wife are exceptional. They did so much to make us comfortable and went above and beyond. They truly made the stay worth it and special.
It’s a great luck to meet people like this while traveling. We loved absolutely everything about this hotel, but most of all — the atmosphere and the kindness of the owners. They are a very warm and welcoming couple who made us feel not like guests at a hotel, but like friends visiting their home. They welcomed us with genuine hospitality, prepared a delicious breakfast, enjoyed talking with us, and made our stay truly special and heartfelt. Places like this are remembered not only for comfort, but for the people who create such an atmosphere.
