It’s a family run hotel, the staff is very nice and kind. The service however was not completely adequate for the price we paid. You’d expect to get at least the soap and some basic toeletries after paying 100 € per night). The property is also VERY inconvenient to reach by car, but you can see it looking at the map of Himarë so no surprises there.

My room was lovely - large and comfortable with a great view from the balcony of the Adriatic. Breakfast is was plentiful and tasty. I recommend Vila Blu. Please note that the hotel is hard to find; most places in Albania don’t have addresses. The owner met me in town and showed me the way. Make sure to ask for clear directions to the property.

VENTAJAS:La estructura está ubicada cerca de la playa, está limpia y tiene aire acondicionados. CONTRA: DESATENCIÓN AL CLIENTE. Día 1 llegamos y no nos encontramos en la habitación que pagamos, categoría deluxe, pero bueno al menos para compensarlo, ofrecen merienda y desayuno al día siguiente. Nos cambian de habitación, mejor, pero no hay tiradores en los cajones, la tapa del water está colocada a un lado, el congelador no congela, un día con la ligera fuerza en abrir de una mujer de 55 kg, la cortina y la barra de la cortina se caen sobre mi mujer. ¡Por suerte no se hizo daño! Pero el PROBLEMA PEOR FUE EL APARCAMIENTO No vayáis en coche porque solo se puede aparcar en zona prohibida con riesgo de remolque o en la acera. El aparcamiento no existe y calle estrecha. Hay una mafia hotelera al alrededor. Si aparcas en el sitio equivocado siempre viene alguien a decirte "oye, este aparcamiento es mio, tienes que quitarte del camino" Después de haber solicitado durante dias una solución, tenia suv, durante las últimas 3 noches, de 7, nos pusieron en contacto con un aparcamiento a una distancia factible. Con todos los huespedes a la hora del check-out era "Perdón si este no funcionó para ti, perdón si aquel no funcionó para ti". La sensación era que los viajeros al estar de paso dejaban ir porque se marchaban rapido. Me sentí muy ingenuo en confiar y reservar con prepago una semana entera, error que no voy a repetir.

Tolle Aussichtslage
Familiäre Unterkunft sehr freundliches Paar, günstig. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Ist schwierig zu finden und nicht ausgeschildert. Wenn man durch den Ort fährt, in Richtung Süden nach dem Hauptstrand mit Promenade, kann man die Beschriftung des Hotels sehen. Es geht da Treppen hoch, ca. 150 Stufen. Mit dem Pkw geht es nördlicher einen Feldweg hoch und zum Schluß in eine enge Sackgasse.
