Guest Reviews
- Angela (10/5): Authentic family run accomodation in perfect location - A gem of an apartment right on the beach about as close to the water as you can get with sun lounges right out in front. Water is super clear and clean here due to fresh water springs from the mountains. Petro was very welcoming and attentive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
- Eleonora (10/5): - bellissima struttura direttamente sul mare. un sogno
- Jiří (10/5): - The accommodation is excellent with direct access to the crystal-clear sea, just a few meters across a pebble beach. Thanks to the private beach, we always had sunbeds and umbrellas available. The apartments are air-conditioned, clean, and regularly serviced. What makes the stay truly exceptional is the kindness, helpfulness, and outstanding service of the owners, Petro and her father – once again, thank you very much for the wonderful stay you helped create.

- Tracie (10/5): A magical retreat right on the beach!! Beautiful family hosts - From the moment we arrived we had the most wonderful trip with Petro!! Petro is an incredibly kind and generous host - ensuring we felt welcomed and showed us around the property and beach. We felt we were staying with a family who truly cared about us! The apartment was lovely, tidy and clean, and had everything we needed for basic cooking. We were able to sit on the balcony and look straight into the ocean and enjoy the most stunning views!! Bonus points as Petro has umbrellas and chairs on the beach for you to enjoy. Any questions we had, or restaurant recommendations we needed, Petro gave the best answers! We will be coming back next year and we cannot wait already! Thank you Petro Nil
- Milena (10/5): Magic Ionian Apartments Himarë - Our stay was absolutely amazing. Beautiful place on the coast, view, peace, very helpful host. I highly recommend it.
- Monique (8/5): - Nog een relatief rustig plekje aan de drukke kust.
Prive strandje met zonnen bedjes en parasols.
Op loopafstand restaurants, ook voor ontbijt, aanwezig. 'Tuin uitzicht' was uitzicht op geparkeerde auto's.
- Maialen (10/5): Perfecto - La ubicación, las vistas, la playa de abajo y todas las comodidades que tenía. El personal super atento. Mila esker! Nada
- Sorin (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): - Nos encantó todo . Es el paraíso !!! La ubicación en primera línea con unas aguas transparentes como nunca hemos visto ( y somos españoles ) . El hecho de tener hamaca y sombrilla justo debajo de la habitación hace que la estancia sea deliciosa . La habitación triple con todo lo necesario y una terraza que tomarse un café en ella es de ensueño !
Petro y su familia encantadores ! Serviciales , dispuestos a ayudar en todo lo posible , atentos , encantadores con el niño . Muy muy recomendable . Le hemos dicho que volvemos el año que viene .. con eso lo digo todo ! No lo dudéis ! No nos ha apetecido ir a otra playa ya que lo teníamos todo en ésta … Paraíso !
- Gero (9/5): Geweldige locatie, met supermooi zeezicht. - De locatie en het uitzicht.
- Viktor (10/5): Perfekter Ort für einen erholsamen Familienurlaub am Strand - Perfekte Lage, direkt am Strand, private Liegen und Sonnenschirme, sehr frendliche und hilfsbereite Inhaber, sehr sauberes und geräumiges Apartment mit dem direkten Blick aufs Meer.
- Irge (10/5): -
- Russell (10/5): Himare was such a beautiful place to visit - this was the perfect place to stay. - We loved the beachfront location (private beach with their own free sun-lounges and umbrellas), the exceptional service from the friendly host Petros (suggested great restaurants…even booked taxis for us), and the spectacular views from the balcony.
- amandine (10/5): - La vue et le calme exceptionnel!! Pedro très gentil! Le parking!
- Erwin (8/5): Toller Strandurlaub bei netten Gastgebern!!! - Toller Ausblick vom Balkon. Sehr nette Gastgeberfamilie. Zentral im Ort gelegen. Einrichtung erneuerungsbedürftig.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful property where location is all. Loved staying here !!
- View (10/5): Highly recommend this property and the host! - The apartments are wonderful, the location is absolutely excellent, you step literally off the property straight onto the beach. There are great sun umbrellas and beach beds for hotel guest use. Parking is perfect, secure and off road. Again. Literally across the road is a min mart, multiple restaurants and bars surround the property and you can walk just 50 meters to a beach bar. The apartment has a small kitchen, so we self catered for breakfast and lunch. The outstanding point of this property though is the host Petro. Petro was charming, full of local information and always on hand with a smile and a cheerful greeting. A wonderful stay! Nothing
- Ramzi (10/5): A peaceful slice of paradise where the waves greet you every morning, the sunsets steal your breath - Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms delivers a classic 5‑star seaside stay: serene and pristine beachfront setting, rooms with elegant sea‑view balconies, and hospitality that elevates the experience. If you want stress‑free mornings with the sound of waves and sunsets over the Ionian Sea, this place nails it.
It’s a top-tier pick for couples, families, or solo travelers craving a luxurious, low‑hassle beach escape.
- Donaldas (10/5): House in perfect location - Perfect location for beach holidays - just on the beach. Small privat beach with sun umbrellas ( included in price ) in front of the house. Balcony wit sea view. Privat parking ( 7 eur/day ). Very friendly host Petro. He gave us lot of advises.
Many restaurants close to the house.
- Adam (10/5): Amazing property and even more amazing owners! - Access to the beach, umbrellas and loungers.
Proximity to the markets, and restaurants.
Ability to park onsite.
Care and attention the multi-generational owners took in everything they did, from room cleaning to property maintenance and upkeep. Somewhat small shower; ease of accidentally getting bathroom floor wet.
- Kirsty (10/5): What a location! Highly recommended - Probably the best located room I’ve ever stayed in! Literally right on a beautiful beach, and we had a room at the back with the most incredible sea views from our balcony and the sound of the waves to sleep to. Appreciated the sunbeds and parasols available for use but tucked away so that the little stretch of beach in front of the apartments felt untouched. We had plans to do lots of day trips to other towns and beaches but struggled to tear ourselves away from Potam beach in the end! Short, easy walk to Himare town, but Potami also has great restaurants and bars, personally I preferred being here than right in Himare. Comfortable beds, and decently appointed room. Hosts were brilliant, Petro was really friendly and helpful with lots of tips on local area. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but hope to return! Would recommend. Only suggestion that could maybe make the room a bit better is shutters/blind at the kitchen window to keep it darker early in morning, and extra pillows.
- Jonathan (9/5): Superb -
- Diana (10/5): The most perfect spot for a local stay in Himarë - Please do yourself a favour and stay here when visting Himarë! The best part of this property is the location. It's in a quieter/less touristy part of Himarë (which we wanted) but still on the main road with direct beach access. We loved feeling like we were living amongsts locals and taking advantage of a pristine and empty beach.
The apartment itself was perfect, clean and comfortable. But the most amazing part is the view that we were lucky enough to have. Our balcony overlooked the private beach and the stunning water and rugged coastline, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sunset drink.
Petro was an incredibly kind and gracious host, who welcomed us upon arrival and spent some time chatting and getting to know us. He was able to answer all our questions (both prior to and during our stay) and provided a number of recommendations for local places to eat and things to do. Petro runs the property with his family, and we were so happy to be supporting such a high-quality, family-run business.
I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Himarë and would encourage anyone looking for accommodation in the area to consider Magic Ionian. Highly recommend and can't wait to return! Only that we couldn't stay longer!
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Petro was amazing. Super friendly, loads of detail, very responsive, lots of discussion of the area, gave us a bottle of olive oil to try from his parents’ olive grove. Only steps away from restaurants including Taverna Stolis with great food and garden. Allowed us to stay a few hours after checkout and borrow some beach towels for the day. His dad found our son’s memory card from digital camera on the beach. Mom did our son’s laundry. So kind.
- Una (9/5): Would love to stay here again - Originally I planned on staying 2 nights but I extended to 4 nights, that's how much I enjoyed my solo holiday here. I stayed in two different rooms, first with ocean view, then facing the back. Both were spacious, comfortable and clean, although quite basic. It's a no-frills family-guesthouse style accommodation. The owner is super friendly, helpful and responsive. Most of all, the location perfectly met my needs for a quiet, relaxing corner on a beach with immediate access to crystal clear waters, plenty of restaurant options and a minimarket within walking distance, plus a beautiful sunset view. I'd love to stay here again. On a Friday night some youngsters gathered nearby for a beach party. Not much you can do about that other than bring earplugs. Waking up in the morning to the tranquil sound of ocean waves made up for it. Also, the lamps by the bed had barely enough light to read by, but this is a minor issue.
- Nils (9/5): I spent a few days with friends on the Albanian coast for a short beach holiday, and aside from the weather, which no on - The accommodation was perfectly located with everything we needed, offering a stunning sea view. The direct beach access was amazing, and the host, Pedro, was very friendly and welcoming. There was nothing to complain about; everything was great.
- Rachel (10/5): Fab stay, lovely beach with snorkelling and great restaurants around - Location is amazing
Pedro was really welcoming and was on hand if we needed anything. Nothing too much trouble.
Great staff
- Apolline (9/5): We had a super nice stay there. Thanks Pietro for the kind welcoming and recommendations! - Kitchen, the beach, the location The mattress
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Fantastic stay in Himare!! - The direct access to the beach . The small property and grounds well kept, clean and parking possible inside , close to restaurants. Also a very quiet place.
Our room was large, clean, modern and comfortable, good size kitchen if needed, beds comfortable, a large balcony and sea view . Everything works well. Good air conditioning.
The host Petro is very welcoming , available, has a nice personality, so kind and helpful, speaks well English. He will answer all your questions. Clear instructions and recommendations.
This is a great place, we recommend highly for everyone and we hope to come back!! Nothing, all good!
- Mia (10/5): Exceptional - Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Location with direct beach access was super convenient and allowed for unobscured views of the water. Petro was extremely accomodating and a helpful point of contact. Would happily stay here again in future.
- Kathleen (10/5): If heaven was a place on earth. - Incredible property with amazing staff.
Petro was so helpful and made my stay even more memorable! This property is even more beautiful than the pictures, right on the water on a secluded part of the beach. Clean, spacious rooms with everything you could need. Property is situated perfectly, close to restaurants, super markets and everything you could want. Can’t wait to return. The worst part was that I had to leave
- Rinaha (10/5): Our favourite stop in Albania! Beach front bliss! - The host Petro was so welcoming and kind. The location is perfect, beach front on the quieter end of the beach with crystal clear water and free beach chairs/umbrellas. This place was our favourite stop in Albania!
There are many restaurants a short walk away and mini mart.
Air con worked well, good sized room and lovely balcony.
Highly recommend! You pay extra for private parking as this is limited to 3 cars (7€ a day). Not a big deal but good to know before hand.
- Dustin (10/5): Exceptional - Location, Hospitality, Views, Amenities
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - We had a fantastic stay at Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms. The apartment hotel is located with direct access to the beach with crystal clear water. We had the Two room apartment on the ground floor which was perfect for us as a family. The apartment was simple but it had everything we needed for our stay. Everything you need is close by - a grocery store and a cafe is 50m away and plenty of restaurant are also nearby.
We would definitely like to come back.
Thanks Petro and family for a great vacation
- Ferdinand (10/5): Incredible place with wonderful hosts right on the beach - This is a truly family run place, and the owners are extremely hospitable, friendly and helpful. The rooms/flats are right on the beach, which is perfect. We were in the ground floor flat, which was wonderful for our children, as they also had access to a small garden to play in, as well as the beach.
It is outstanding value for money and a definite 10/10. The rooms are very simple, but comfortable, and their simplicity is why they are in the price bracket they are in. It is not a hotel, so the rooms aren't cleaned every day, but we stayed 5 nights, and the room was cleaned thoroughly once and also given a quick clean another day. We were satisfied with the cleanliness. The beach is a stony one, and it's a little steep, but personally I like beaches which don't have too much shallow water, and you are almost immediately swimming.
You have everything you need very close by - a grocery store is about 50m away and there are plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby. A particular favourite of ours was Stolis, just 200m up the road. The town centre with more restaurants, bars and shops is just a 15-20 min walk away along a nice promenade.
Do remember to specify if you are driving. Parking space is limited to three cars and is charged extra, and space is a bit tight (but perfectly manageable).
Overall, I strongly recommend.
- Zoe (10/5): We had the best 4 days staying here. The location is near perfect. Petro was super helpful and friendly. He arranged a d - The location is absolutely amazing. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Pasteria was 10/10. Beachfront. Balcony sea view. Everything was great.
- Ismail (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. They went beyond their duty to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Thanks a lot ! The location was awesome! The local food was awesome! The beaches we visited were out of this world.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional - private beach
- Rikke (9/5): Get back to the original holiday vibe from the past with no crowds when we there end June. - Best position direct to the crystal blue Ionian sea and very calm surroundings. In the morning you just jump out of the bed and then into the reserved sunbeds right in front of the hotel and enjoy the sunny day. A special experience was the seawater, which was mixed up with a crystal clear freshwater spring surfacing right on the beach with zero pollution. The spring then mixed with the ocean and in the surface due to how fresh water mix with salt water, you have a layer of fresh cold water which was a very special experience one should experience. The beach had none of the usual pushy sales people which was another upside :-) The people running the hotel, daddy Simon and his son Petro was the most attending and kind people we have experienced - always ready to help with questions or fix pratical issues. Think the interior in our room could have a little upgrade regarding chairs on the balcony and a chair inside and some hooks for hanging your clothes - all easy fixes with positive impact.
- Edward (10/5): Exceptional - The privacy and access to resteraunts and grocery stores.Lots to see on day trips .Simone the owner was very friendly. Loved the Raki !!! All was good
- Yu (9/5): Superb - Our stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The location is unbeatable - just a few steps from private beach, which offers breathtaking sea views. The convenience of having the beach so close made our stay incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the ocean. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any request. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was serene and inviting. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect seaside escape. Can't wait to come back!
- Zahra (10/5): Perfect location and welcoming host. We can not wait to return. - Perfect location on a private beach. Wonderful friendly host. One of the highlights of our trip.
- Josef-28 (10/5): Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms: beachfront beauty with outstanding hospitality. - The Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms offer a slice of paradise directly on the beach, boasting stunning sea views that never fail to leave you in awe. There’s something truly magical about waking up to the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore, and the sight of the sun rising over the blue horizon.
The owners are incredibly friendly and hospitable, always ready to answer all of your questions and assist with anything you might need. Their warm welcome and consistent willingness to go above and beyond truly enrich the overall experience, making you feel right at home in this idyllic coastal setting.
One of the highlights of staying here is undoubtedly the close proximity to the beautiful Filikuri beach. A short and pleasant walk will take you right to this spectacular spot, where you can spend your days basking in the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear waters or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance.
In conclusion, the Magic Ionian Apartments & Rooms provide a fantastic stay that is simply superb. It’s a place where fond memories are created and where you can truly unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Ionian coast. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene seaside getaway. Everything was perfect
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location right on the beach. We loved watching the amazing sunsets and swimming in the clear water. Petros was very kind and helpful- ready to give advice and suggestions on what to do/where to go.
- Nicoline (8/5): Basic accommodation, right on the beach - - Nice little private beach with sunbeds and umbrellas
- Close to bars and restaurants, but far enough away from the noise from the main boulevard
- The room was cleand once during our 3 night stay, which was very nice - Bathroom completely floods everytime you shower, shower turns hot/cold all the time
- Beds were a littttle hard
- We booked this place mainly because it was one of the few to be right on the beach. However, most apartments are max 5 min from the beach. Here you pay mostly for the location
- Beth (10/5): Perfect beach front location! - Everything!
Beach front, super beautiful beach with clear clear water! Steps away from a swim every day!
Very clean with everything you need for a few days!!!
Accommodating and welcoming host who checked in regularly to make sure we had all we need
Lovely area There could do to be a stash of extra blankets and pillows but other than that divine !! B
- Gordon (10/5): Great location and a comfortable room and wonderful owner. - The location was wonderful. Right on the beach with umbrella and chairs on the beach as part of the booking. The owner was fantastic and very helpful. I reported a problem with the aircon and he arranged to have it fixed immediately. Excellent service. Nothing
- Steve (10/5): Fabulous accomodation with private beach - Fabulous location right on the beach with front door access to the private beach area. Nice apartment and super friendly onsite manager.Great selection of good restaurants within easy walking distance. Comfortable beds Nothing to not like.
- Zsuzsanna (10/5): Exceptional - The building is right in front of the beach. We had an amazing view from the balcony. The room had everything that we needed for your stay.
On the beach, you can find sunbeds and umbrellas that belong to Magic Ionian. There are many amazing restaurants close by.
- Michael (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anonymous (9/5): A relaxing, laid back stay on a beautiful beach. - The location of this property was excellent. Situated on the very end of a beautiful beach with sun loungers and umbrellas available. Spoilt for choice with beach bars and tavernas.
The host of this property went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable for us. There was noise late at night from the neighbouring beach bars, but that’s a fair price to pay for such a gorgeous location.
- Janis (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place. Great host. Went swimming every morning. Enjoyed it a lot.
