"An absolutely wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was perfect, from the delicious homemade meals to the stunning mountain views. The genuine hospitality of Aurora, Eleana, and their family made our first trip to Albania even more special. We couldn’t recommend this place enough; do not hesitate to book! ❤️"

Julia Hotel

"Amy the receptionist made our stay perfect!"

San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Mooi uitzicht naar de zee vanuit kamer, alleen jacuzzi beneden ruikte heel sterk naar chloor dat je niet daar kon blijven zitten."

Apart-Hotel Lili2

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely modern Apartment, very nice room with a fantastic balcony. A small Cafe owned by Hotel did a nice basic breakfast £5/ea, parking by hotel, although the access road is a little step. Located up the hill a little and 20mins out from the Prominade, but there's loads of Bars & Restaurants everywhere. Only thing missing from apartment is a Toaster, it did have a Sandwich maker, but not the same."

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room with a sea view. The hosts were great people - I will definitely return!"

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days."

Vila Kalcuni

"What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the staff. The team delivered warm, attentive, and highly professional service from check-in to check-out, anticipating our every need. It is rare to find a place where both the room comfort and the hospitality are this top-tier!"
