Guest Reviews

• Tassilo (7/5): -
• Marlis und Wolfgang (8/5): Wunderbare Frühstücksterrasse mit Aquarium Beach um die Ecke - Gutes frühstück und freundlicher Service Zimmer war klein
• Alba (10/5): - Les vistes son precioses en una zona molt tranquila pero a prop de tot. L’amabilitat de l’anfitriona increible i l’esmorzar casola tambe :) moltes gracies!!
• Tim (10/5): -
• Anna (8/5): Good homy place to stay - Lovely host and very warm home for travellers.
• Kristian (10/5): Hvis man har en bil til rådighed, er dette et unikt overnatningssted. Meget lokalt, god morgenmad, smuk beliggenhed og r - Poli er en super sød og hjælpsom vært, og udsigten fra terrassen er helt fantastisk. Vi vil ikke anbefale at køre op ad bakken til stedet i almindelig personbil, og det var svært at skylle ud på toilettet.
• Christelle (9/5): - La vue, le personnel, le calme. Chambre un peu trop sombre
• vasmatics (9/5): Nice place, perfect for nature lovers - The room was spacious enough, the kitchen was well equipped. The view was nice, we could see the sea and the surrounding mountains. The hosts were very friendly (mother and daughter) and the breakfast was plenty and delicious. The beach, supermarkets, restaurants were all in walking distance. The road was a bit rough, but not too bad. Don't leave the main road at the narrow bridge (even if Google Maps says to turn there), but at the bigger bridge in front of the bakery, that way the rough part is shorter.
• Carlos (9/5): - Situat en una zona tranquil·la a 15 minuts caminant de platges i d'un punt on pots disfrutar d'una espectacular posta de sol. L'hospitalitat de l'amfitriona. Res
• Maira (10/5): - Beautiful, classic Albanian home - you have to experience it! With nice views and grapes all around, we truly enjoyed it. Two popular beaches are nearby which makes this the perfect stay. The owner doesn't speek much English, but just enough to understand each other.
• Rappo (8/5): -

• Deborah (10/5): Wonderful stay and highly recommended. - Homely and very welcoming stay. Antonia and her mum are lovely people who went out of their way to assist and make our stay comfortable. Very easy communication despite the language gap. Loved the welcome coffee and raki, and excellent breakfast spread. So good! Many thanks for a wonderful stay at Livadh!
• Kirsten (8/5): Quiet and idyllic with beautiful beaches close by. - Beautiful quiet location in an authentic home. To sit on the balcony and enjoy the garden and the views gave us the experience of Albania as it was before the development of the other coastal areas of the country.
• Margaret (8/5): Very good - Great balcony great view, nice breakfast. Everything was great however, One of the main reasons we stayed was because the room advertised a sea view. The window was completely covered with washing so we didn't have a view.
• Katja (10/5): Exceptional - What an amazing place and owners! The view from the porch, the cleanliness, a great beach nearby, friendly hosts and amazing breakfast. Thank you so much for everything. That we only stayed one night.
• Holly (8/5): Brilliant hosts near some lovely beaches, perfect for a short stay - Really kind hosts, Antonia picked us up from town in her car and her mum treated us so well, gave us tips where to find the best beach and gave us walnuts from her own garden! She gave us tips for where and when to catch the bus as we didn't have a car. Excellent breakfast brought up to the balcony in the morning by her mum. They were very flexible with our arrangements. We cooked in the little kitchenette which was simple but had everything we needed. In April, there was nowhere to get dinner nearby if you don't have a car, as the seasonal restaurants hadn't opened yet. The shower was just ok, but can't complain for the price and everything else!
• Laura (10/5): Wonderful, peaceful, comfortable place - This wonderful hill top apartment was just perfect for my study retreat- so peaceful. The room was clean, comfortable, and had huge private balcony. The breakfast was amazing, and different each day, and made for the time I choose. A very friendly and helpful host too, she helped me with getting a taxi early morning. Thank you. If the bins were emptied every few days, that would have been better.
• Xhoel (10/5): Exceptional stay - I had an amazing experience at Boungainvillea. The room was spotless, clean, offering both comfort and charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable, providing great local tips. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils to prepare our own meal which I liked a lot , and the outdoor spaces were perfect for relaxing we woke up with sea view and at night we sat at the balcony seeing the sky full of stars! Overall, this guesthouse offers top-notch service and a truly authentic Albanian experience. Highly recommended!
• Edina (5/5): Passable - The location is good, the local beach is 10 minutes and the Aquarium beach is 15-20 minutes. The host was helpful. Difficult to reach the apartment by car, there are dirt roads. Our room was humid, dark and stuffy. The kitchen is outside and open with limited equipment.
• Florian (6/5): Pleasant - basic apartment, nice view, quality/price ratio still questionable
• Ema (8/5): Very good - The house is located in a quiet area with beautiful sea views from the terrace and just a 20-30 minute walk away from more secluded beaches if you prefer that from the main beach! We had the family room for 4 of us, and it was sufficiently spacious with a private kitchen and bathroom. Although we were sleeping on sofa beds, they were very comfortable. We arrived late in the evening and the host was kind enough to wait for us to let us in. We were missing a few amenities (a bedsheet and a few of the towels) when we arrived. Beware that the driveway to the house is a steep gravel road - easier to navigate in the day than in the night! We chose to park our car at the bottom of the hill and take the short walk up instead.
• Ela (10/5): Exceptional - I had a fantastic stay. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, sparkling clean and had all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect, close to key attractions and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Antonia was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Himare.
• Alma (10/5): Exceptional - We spent 7 nights in July. The place is very beautiful with beautiful beaches. the hosts are very friendly and hospitable. The house is in a quiet place, 5 minutes by car from the main beach. the house has a beautiful view. the room was cozy and cool because of the way the house was built. we had a nice and peaceful holiday here. The road leading to the house is under construction, so there was dust.
• Gilles (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, room, location, owner very helpful and lovely. I highly recommend this place. Thank you!
• Sven (7/5): Basic stay near the beach. - Friendly family, nice location, close to the beach. Lot of plants / green. OK value for money. Pretty basic. Room was a bit smelly, could use some fresh air. No breakfast served.
• Inondik (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the views from the terrace and the yummy breakfast
• Yue (10/5): Absolutely amazing - Andonia and her mum have been the nicest and kindest hostesses I have ever met. Andonia helped us organgise our travel by booking coaches and taxi for us, and gave us lots of useful info about where to go. The view of the house is out of this world and we got to have different homemade breakfast everyday whilst enjoying the sea view. The location is slightly away from Himare center, so you need a taxi if you want to go there. But on the good side, we have close access to some amazing private beaches. The shower is slightly faulty
• Mario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Antonia was an amazingly helpful host before and during my stay. She also served a fabulous breakfast. This place is a bit of a hideaway, away from the crowds with a glorious garden and wide views to the sea and the castle. It’s also an easy walk to a secluded beach in one direction and to a great selection of tavernas and small shops in Livadi in the other. A great way to experience this stretch of the Riviera. Highly recommended.
• Elizabeth (9/5): The staff was very accommodating and nice! I love our stay! - If you are looking for a place to stay close to the Aquarium/Jal baech and would like a bit of hike then this place is THE PLACE! :) The road is a bit tricky especially with the scooter.
• Corinna (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind and caring hosts, who provided a good (generous) breakfast. The room was very clean and it was silent at night. Absolutely breathtaking view from the terrace. Less than 10 minutes walking distance from the beach. We extended our stay because we loved it so much there! If you travel by sedan: the house can best be reached via short (3-5 mins) footwalk, because of the steep gravel road which leads to the house.
• Regont (8/5): Very good -
• Mustafa (9/5): Superb -
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marianne (8/5): Nice stay with great view! - Great view, good location en friendly owner. -
• Sissy (10/5): Exceptional - Very beautiful and clean place. Very nice people. The beach and restaurants are really close. Absolutely recommended.
• Lorenc (9/5): Quiet and quiet in a very green place near Aquarium Beach. Beautiful view. Very happy with our stay. - The room had the accommodations we needed. The host family are so welcoming and helpful. Unbeatable value for money.
• Merlin (7/5): Good -
• Peter (10/5): Beautiful location and lovely host family - Very happy with our stay. Beautiful location and view. A few minutes walk to the beach. The room had the accommodations we needed. The host family is lovely. They were so welcoming and helpful. Antonia who greeted us is fluent in english. We got alot of great recommendations for activities and restaurants. Strongly recommend Boungainvillea. If we come back to Albania this will be our first hand choice.
• Arifaj (5/5): Passable -
• Xhulia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marina (8/5): Very good - The pictures correspondence to reality .Quiet and very green place , one of the nearest to Aquarium beach . Very friendly family , ready to help you in all . At the moment the road to villa distroited , not acceptable to heavy motorbike . Remark : Distance to the nearest Livadi beach around 1 km. , to Aquarium beach 1.2 km .
• Ada (8/5): Very good -
• Xhuljo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ferletta (10/5): Exceptional - is a million dollar view from the teracce. faboulus nature and beach....antonia and her family was great hosts, the house was large, clean and confortable. i did not like the neighbour that was cnocking on the wall to have total silence after 10pm.
• Ave (9/5): Cosy place. - Nice comfortable place walk away from nice beach. Away from main road, but it givea you privacy and quiet place to stay.
• Zuzana (8/5): Very good - Very nice place with wonderful owners. They were very friendly and caring, we felt like we were at home. I highly recommend staying here.
• Christiaan (7/5): Cute getaway room in the mountains - The location was the best thing, it was secluded but at the same time close to the beach and fun bars and restaurants. The room was all you needed, good airconditioning and also a fun outside kitchen. Hosts helped out a lot with getting taxis and made sure i was okay. Place was very clean! Plus a great view It was a hostel type of accommodation, so not a lot of privacy. The hosts were around all the time so not really a chance for some alone time on the balcony. But they were nice and helpful. Hosts would sometimes pull the plug from the airconditioning without letting me know.
