Guest Reviews
- Jan (9/5): - De lokatie was moeilijk te vinden
- Juliette (10/5): -
- Soubry (8/5): -
- Ulrike (9/5): Prima Lage mitten im Olivenhain! - Jeder Tag wird begleitet vom Geklingel der Schafe und Ziegen; nach Himara hinunter ist es nur ein kurzer Spaziergang, aber man ist doch weit genug entfernt! Einfach schön.
- Zanana (10/5): - Filoxenia ist ein ganz besonderer Ort – eine wahre Oase der Ruhe mitten in der Natur. Schon bei der Ankunft spürt man die liebevolle Atmosphäre und die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber.
Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt und sind dankbar für die wunderbare Begegnung mit Anna und Thimjo. Die Unterkunft und die Umgebung laden zum Entspannen, Abschalten und Auftanken ein.
Ein echtes Highlight waren die unvergesslich feine Konfitüre aus Rosenblättern sowie das selbstgemachte Olivenöl von hundertjährigen Olivenbäumen direkt aus dem Garten – ein Genuss und Ausdruck der besonderen Qualität dieses Ortes.
Wir würden jederzeit sehr gerne wiederkommen und können diesen Ort von Herzen weiterempfehlen.
- Anne (10/5): Wonderful little place - The location is great, peaceful and quiet. Anna is so friendly. They have five spacious rooms with your own little seating area outside. Plus a communal kitchen and plenty of seating areas in the surrounding garden. Each room has AC for cooling and heating and a nice shower. To get there just follow the signs promar apartments from the ring road and a little bit further you will find this little oasis ❤️
- Nikola (10/5): - what a lovely, peaceful place to come back to after a day at the beach. truly lovely!!
- Kristof (9/5): -
- Héloise (10/5): Authenticité, hospitalité et calme - Un deuxième séjour inoubliable auprès de Thimios, Anna et Irini!!! Le cadre est idyllique, niché sur une colline avec vue sur la mer et au milieu D’un jardin de paradis. Les chambres en pierre pleines de charme, confortables et intimistes. Ne manquez pas la délicieuse cuisine d’Anna aux accents grecs!! Quant aux hôtes, vous vous sentirez comme à la maison dans cette charmante famille et n’attendrez que de pouvoir les revoir à nouveau! Mille mercis 🙏

- Estera (10/5): - Piękna lokalizacja, domek położony pośród drzew oliwnych, piękne zachody słońca, cudowna atmosfera, cudowni właściciele. Bardzo duże i wygodne łóżka, wszystko w jak najlepszym porządku!!! Wrócimy napewno :) Wszystko było super!!!
- Lene Møller Yang (10/5): - The hotel can be a bit difficult to find, and having a car or your own transport is definitely recommended. That said, it is absolutely worth the effort, and we received excellent directions from Anna beforehand.
The place itself is incredibly cozy and thoughtfully designed, with great attention to detail. It feels unique and personal, especially knowing that it has been beautifully crafted by Thimios himself.
The garden is lovely and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating areas where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We really appreciated the calm atmosphere and the charm of the place.
We stayed for two nights, but it would have been easy to spend even longer there. Breakfast was also very good and a great way to start the day.

- Guest (10/5): Toll klasse super - Es ist wirklich ein Traum!
Eine super herzliche und zuvorkommende Familie
Man kann selber kochen aber auch Frühstück und Abendessen kochen lassen
Auch diverse andere Dinge kann man dort erwerben selbst gemacht von ihr Nix
Auch der Weg zum Strand ist absolut machbar waren ohne Auto dort
- Marie (9/5): Séjour fabuleux où les hôtes sont très sympathiques et où l’on fait de belles rencontres! - L’emplacement exceptionnel dans un très bel environnement. Dépaysement total ! Les moustiques 😨
- Alain (10/5): - Accueil professionnel et sympathique .Endroit calme et reposant Présence de moustiques le soir
- Lucas (10/5): -
- thomas (10/5): A perfect stay at Filoxenia - Absolutely stunning accommodation in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by lush greenery. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The local food and wine were incredible, and the hosts went above and beyond — so kind, helpful, and welcoming. Every detail was perfect. Highly recommended!
- Lucy (8/5): -
- THEL PHYU PHYU (10/5): Relax and Environmentally friendly - We had an amazing stay in Filoxenia . Anna is very friendly and kind.
Felt like connecting nature , in a relax atmosphere.
Just don’t follow google maps suggestions, it will lead you to a narrow road. Try to go to the main road and then you will find it easier to go to the place .
The place , the hospitality, the facilities are above and beyond!
- Phan (8/5): -
- Ngoc (9/5): - The place is super cute! Ana and her husband were super helpful and great! Advised us lots if nice places and restaurants and went out of their way to help us. Highly recommended! I’m attractive to mosquitoes so prepare the spray if you are too!
- Anna (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft, etwas außerhalb und daher sehr ruhig. Super schöner Garten und gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche. - Tolles Ambiente und nette Gastwirte.
- Lotte (10/5): -
- Lotte (10/5): Filoxenia: doet haar naam eer aan - I loved my stay at Filoxenia! It was a beautiful vacation, with lovely people, food and a lot of nice experiences Nothing
- Lotte (10/5): -
- Matteo (10/5): Es war sensationell!!! - Es war fabelhaft! Die Natur, die Steinhäuser, wir sind begeistert. Ich denke es ist bisher die beste unterkunft Albaniens! Die Berge und das Meer sind hier direkt nebenan, sodass man eine gute mischung hat. Das meer ist klar und es gibt einen public beach in der nähe. Ebenfalls eine geheime bucht- filikuri beach.
Achtung: es ist sehr gefährlich dorthin zu wandern/ klettern. Hat sich allerdings gelohnt 😜 - es fühlt sich sehr familiär an und es gibt eine outdoor küche mit Gas und einen wunderschönen Garten mit vielen Frucht & Olivenbäumen. Das Bad ist sehr modern und die Betten bequem. Achtung: viele tiere 🤣
- Fergus (10/5): -
- Vermeiren (9/5): Volop genoten - De vriendelijkheid van het personeel! De parking was soms moeilijk al je er met meer dan 4 stond
- Natalie (8/5): Séjour agréable car entouré de végétation. Possibilité d’avoir une certaine autonomie tout en profitant éventuellement d - L’emplacement dans la nature mais proche de la baie de Himare Rien à signaler
- Váchal (10/5): - Úžasné a klidné prostředí, velmi vkusně zařízené. Milí hostitelé
- Carla (10/5): -
- Hansjörg (10/5): Schönes Idyll nahe zu den Stränden und Sehenswürdigkeiten Südalbaniens - Filoxenia ist eine ruhige, entspannte Oase im Süden Albaniens. Der Ort ist in ca. 5 Minuten von der Hauptstraße aus zu erreichen. Es gibt schöne Sitzgruppen, Bänke, Leseecken oder Hängematten unter Oliven- oder Pfirsichbäumen. Die Anlage wird von der Familie liebevoll gepflegt und instand gehalten. Die Zimmer sind schlicht, aber in Ordnung. Sehr hilfsbereite Besitzer mit guten Tipps für die Umgebung.
- Pascale (9/5): Leuke, rustige plaats. - Rustige plaats met veel leuke plekjes in de mooie tuin. De buitenkeuken is praktisch en fijn. Eén plaats om terug te komen. De wifi in de kamer.
- Louise Rendbæk (8/5): -
- Luisella (9/5): -
- Viking (10/5): -
- Karolina (10/5): - An unbelievable place! A beautiful garden with olive trees and wonderful owners create a truly special atmosphere. Full of peace and charm – highly recommended! 🌿✨ -
- Simone (7/5): Mooie plek maar prijzig - Het is een prachtige locatie, we hebben genoten van het verblijf en de prachtige tuin waar je verblijft. De kamers waren erg schoon. De prijs is aan de hoge kant voor wat je krijgt. Ontbijt is niet inbegrepen. De bedden zijn erg hard.
Er zijn accomodaties waar je meer krijgt voor dit geld.
- Dominic (10/5): Wonderful and highly recommended for a peaceful stay! - It is such a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and wind down. The calmness of Filoxenia is perfect for a quiet stay. The hosts Anna and Thimios are very welcoming and kind. They cook amazing dinner on the fire. The toilet was a bit smelly
- Gion (10/5): Ein erholsamer Aufenthalt in schöner Umgebung. - Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bot eine tolle Gegend. Besonders gefallen hat uns die ruhige Lage sowie die herzliche Gastfreundschaft des Personals.
- Arthur (9/5): Great rooms in the mountains, close to the town - Great rooms, very cozy and well equipped. The location is also very nice and relaxing, in the mountains and a short 15min walk from the city and very close to plenty of nice beaches. You feel nicely secluded and are surrounded by goats and olive trees. The air is even a bit cooler which is nice. Staff is kind and accommodating, sharing local recommendations and providing plenty of services and products. The rooms have AC and a nice shower. Everything is stone and they stay pretty cool even during the hot summer days. We loved our time here. One thing that we really noticed is that we heard everything happening outside around our room. Rooms felt private, but we were woken up in the morning by people talking loudly outside. Not the hotel’s fault, but was a bit frustrating. WiFi was also a bit spotty but other than that this place is amazing
- Anonymous (10/5): Scenic and relaxing, perfect stay! - We loved our stay here. It was very relaxing and scenic. The food they cooked for us was amazing. Very quiet and tranquil. Definitely recommend the home cooked meals, was the best meal we ate on our holiday! Nothing
- Stephanie (7/5): Good -
- Jan (8/5): Very good -
- Elitsa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wout (9/5): Superb -
- Thea (10/5): We had a lovely time at Hotel Filoxenia, the hosts were so helpful and lovely and the property itself is stunning. - Beautiful property with a lovely green, flowery garden. With extras such as a hammock, outdoor kitchen, lots of seating and not to mention the most amazing hosts, we had the best stay. Nothing, can’t fault it.
- Shawn (10/5): Loved this guest house. Wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful serene location. Highly recomemd! - Loved this guest house! Wish I could have stayed a few nights, but we only had one. The grounds, the room and the shared kitchen are awesome. The host is really friendly and welcoming.
- Annika (10/5): Exceptional - We had a fantastic stay in this lovely place and the hosts were absolutely wonderful and recommended some things for us to do and see in the area, too. Highly recommend!
- Paulo (10/5): Exceptional - The most authentic and genuine place I've been to in Albania. Simple, peaceful, genuine and pleasant. I recommend it 100%
- Joshua (10/5): Cozy, calm, serene: the words that come to mind for this location. - To start, the hosts are great. The atmosphere is something that calms you with a farm/homestead vibe. I recommend ordering the dinner and breakfast as they are well worth the money. Their own wine is tasty as well. I really recommend this place for at least two nights (we stayed for one and regretted not being able to book another). The room is really nice: we had a separate little shack for ourselves. -
- Parth (9/5): Superb - Filoxenia truly lives up to its name! A warm and welcoming place with a great atmosphere. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The host were incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. A memorable part of our Albania trip!
- Sonja (10/5): We would come back anytime! - Filoxenia is an absolute gem in the middle of nature. You can relax and unwind on the terrace in front of the natural stone rooms and in the spacious garden with olive trees. The hospitality of Thimios and his family made our stay in Himarë a wonderful experience! There is simply nothing not to like here.
- Bjarmi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jackson (10/5): Incredible stay in beautiful surroundings with the kindest and sweetest hosts. Perfect to relax! - Ana prepared a beautiful breakfast and I was also able to purchase some of their homemade olive oil. I loved that Filoxenia is slightly further from the main town and it’s a beautiful place with beautiful surroundings. Nothing!
- Mirjana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paula (10/5): Wonderful place! - Everything. The owner are very special, great people. It has been a unique experience to be in Filoxenia and share time with Thimios and Anna. Thank you very much to both of you!
- Isabelle (9/5): Superb -
- Annie (10/5): Nourishing, made us feel like family. - The beautiful surrounds, the welcoming from Thimios and Anna, the relaxed atmosphere. Is suited for warmer weather as there’s a lack of an enclosed ‘lounge’ area for cooler nights as we were there in April
- Rosalin (8/5): Very good - Wonderful hosts and a magical place. Sadly it was rainy and cold so we couldn’t make the most of the beautiful garden. Delicious meal cooked by Themius and all very good value.
- Anvar (8/5): Very good - Great owners go out of their way to make sure your stay is fine.
There is a mutual dining area and you can use kitchen facitilies to prepare own food (which is a nice touch).
Would come again.
- Valérie (10/5): DO NOT use google maps to go there :) - The location. Nothing.
- Forbes (10/5): Welcoming, relaxed, homey and beautiful stay filled with yummy food and bird calls, surrounded by olives trees. - We loved our stay and were blown away with the generosity of the owner. The stone and wood cabins set in such a beautiful garden in a quiet location were a dream. The location is 20 mins walk from some amazing beaches and the town- the distance resulted in a relaxed stay away from the busy centre. Must try their yummy jams! Thanks so much for everything Thimjo and for having us at Filoxenia. Highly recommend :)
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristina (10/5): Such a magical and special place! The thoughtful design of the room, the gorgeous property and the nicest host family! - We love the tranquil beauty of Filoxenia! Gorgeous rooms, wonderful host family, and a beautiful property. It is our second time here and we can hardly wait to come back.
- Dennis (8/5): Very good - The property is unique and very special. Beautiful orchard of olive trees that they produce excellent oil from. Didn't have a chance to try their wine but they make a good raki. Good breakfast too 😋. Had trouble finding it. A couple of well placed signs would be very helpful.
- Katja (10/5): Charming, peaceful and the hosts were wonderfully welcoming. - This was an exceptional accommodation- a peaceful green oasis in which to relax and chat and read and sleep in absolute silence. Not a small contribution to our super relaxing stay was made by the caring, strong and very professional massage by Ana. Book it now, both room and massage, you wont regret it. The area has plenty to offer, 3 nights were not enough to visit it all. I can't think of anything that could be improved. Our hosts apparently have listened to suggestions of their guests over the years and are managing to cater for a range of diverse guests.
- Linde (8/5): Lovely - Lovely surrounding, lots of plants, sea view and you can see the sunset. Room is basic, but had everything you need. Bring mosquito spray! We did not sit outside because of this.. Also there is no sitting area in the room. You don’t really need one, go explore all the nice beaches and restaurants in Himare.
- Jaap (10/5): Lovely place to stay in Himare. Away from the tourims this is an absolute beauty! - The very stylish rooms and lovely garden. Great combination of old and new. Within the garden several nice places to chill out and feel private. Great shared outdoor kitchen that is well equipted. Everything clean and very comfortable bed in a silent area. Very welcoming guest that take the time for you and help with great tips for the neighbourhood. 100% recommend! N/a
- Luigi (9/5): Superb -
- Sally (10/5): We loved it here. - Thimios and Anna were fabulous hosts and we ate with them 3 out of 4 nights during our stay. Food was excellent. Such a calm and relaxed environment and plenty to do in Himare. Easy to walk to (taxi back up the hill) and the beach is good. Massages from Anna were fantastic. We would definitely recommend. Nothing.
- Kuzmanovski (9/5): Superb - Everything except the road. The owner was superb, everything was super clean and comfortable. The road. The road is an enormous minus for this place. There are some 500-600 m of awful road. It's Very hard to go walking to the city because of all the dirt and with the car.. is experience 😁
- Imogen (10/5): Stunning and peaceful - We loved our three night stay at Filoxenia! It truely made our time in Himare. We visited during peak season and were so glad the accommodation was a decent way from the busy centre. The place is stunning and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. We are grateful Thimios and Ana for their wonderful hospitality.
- Dearbhla (9/5): Reconnect with nature 🌺🌎 - A remarkable place! Would love to go back! Gorgeous place to reconnect to nature and relax in. Close to Himara too. The hosts were very attentive and provide a range of optional extras when you arrive.
- Hannah (10/5): Absolutely lovely experience at Filoxenia. It exceeded all of our expectations! - The hosts are so friendly and welcoming. The place is stunning and the whole atmosphere in Filoxenia is one you don’t come across often.
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - wow, wow WOW. This was the most incredible stay I’ve ever had. Anna and Thimjo were the most amazing hosts and were there for any of your needs. Thimjo cooked amazing food for us and Anna hands down gave THE best massage I’ve ever had. Even if you aren’t staying at this accomodation you should book in a treatment with Anna as her hands are truely magical. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly and the rooms are so lovely and the shared spaces are beautiful. Do not hesitate to book and book a massage in!!
- Kathi (9/5): Superb - The entire atmosphere was great. A perfect place to feel at home and relax. We got good suggestions for sightseeing and food. Totally recommended for a silent base to explore the coast.
- Johnatan (10/5): Peaceful, comfortable and beautiful location - Loved this place, so peaceful and quite. The rooms were clean, great shower facilities within the room, also came with a fridge in the room to keep things cool or store food that you can cook in the outside kitchen area. In a beautiful location surrounded by trees and views of the mountain. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Loads of comfortable spaces to chill and not far from the centre at all. Ample parking spaces just outside the property. Nothing
- Camille (10/5): A little paradise close to the most beautiful beaches with the best hosts. - I loved how the place was so calm, so green and the rooms. All was perfect.
- Deirdre (9/5): Personal and calm; away from the crowds. - The calmness and ease, of the place and location itself and the owners. Its an agriturismo; personal, not a hotel. This attracts guests who dont need to party, dont need to be in the middle of the crowds. The availability of a kitchen where you can cook yourself but also get a home cooked (grilled) meal.
Good and quick communication, clear instructions how to find it. Good advice of what to do and what not to do/ bother with. The rooms can be very warm. There is a ventilator but no airconditioning (which suites the place).
- Agnieszka (8/5): It was a very good time. A great place to relax - climate and atmosphere, surroundings, silence, building No place to store your things, even a small cabinet
- Jane (8/5): Very good -
- Denizhan (10/5): It is an exceptional place with lots of love and wholeheartedness - Filoxenia - the place of experience is in the middle of nature where you can relax your mind, and rest well. The owners: Thimios and Ana are really friendly and open people.
- Urszula (10/5): An absolute gem for those seeking a little bit of peace close to nature - Location was great (the views!). The owners were an absolute pleasure. You can tell they love people, and they put all their energy into the business they run. They managed to create a little peace of heaven in an already beautiful coastal area. Thimios communicated with us up until our arrival, and showed us around even though we were running much later than planned. He also basically offered a full day itinerary which enabled us to see many hidden places. Be prepared this is a basic accommodation place - there are no luxuries. But this is also the charm of the place, and overall I personally wouldn't have changed anything at all. You're doing a great job Thimios & Anna!
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Perfectly located ! Really nice houses !
- Cleo (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at Filoxenia. Thimios and Anna were great hosts and had great recommendations. Very accommodating and up for a chat. The place was beautiful with great facilities. I would highly recommend.
- Merve (10/5): Exceptional - During my recent stay at this charming hotel, I was captivated by its unique and peaceful atmosphere, enhanced by lush greenery and beautifully designed stone houses. This hidden gem offers an unparalleled retreat for those seeking tranquility and comfort.
Atmosphere:
The moment you step onto the property, you are enveloped in a serene and calming environment. Surrounded by verdant gardens and a rich array of plants, the hotel's grounds are meticulously maintained, creating a tranquil oasis. The peaceful ambiance is perfect for relaxation and escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Accommodation:
The stone houses are exquisitely designed, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. Each house is thoughtfully decorated, maintaining the natural beauty of the stone while providing all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the design is remarkable, offering a unique and cozy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
Service:
The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, always eager to ensure their guests have the best experience possible. Their hospitality was a highlight of my stay; they even provided us with rides to and from the center, making our visits to Himare seamless and stress-free. Their willingness to go above and beyond truly enhances the overall experience.
Accessibility:
While the hotel's secluded location adds to its charm, it's important to note that having a private car or scooter is essential for convenience. Alternatively, you can take a taxi to the Himare center, which is a viable option for those without their own transportation. The slight distance from the center is a small trade-off for the peaceful and picturesque setting the hotel offers.
In conclusion, this hotel is a perfect choice for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful and serene environment.
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional - It is a really beautiful and peaceful place, just outside of main Himare - feels like paradise! The hosts are very kind and look after the guests wonderfully, with delicious food. Couldn't recommend it enough!
- Joyce (10/5): Very very nice! - The location is super nice, very beautifully done. We liked everything about the place.
Very friendly owner!
Everything was as discribed. -
- Kristina (10/5): Absolutely magical place to stay! Beautiful rooms, delightful host, and a simply divine location! - Beautiful room (incredible creative design details that I so appreciate!), delightful welcome, peaceful outdoor areas that simply invite you to relax. I could have stayed here forever!
- Suzanne (10/5): Lovely relaxing place to stay - Lovely and clean, good relaxing atmosphere and lovely family running it Nothing
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! The calm, the beauty of the place, the host… everything was perfect
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - We had a fantastic 6 nights at Filoxenia, brilliant hosts and a very peaceful location with a personal touch. Very short walk to the restaurants and there are beautiful beaches near by.
- Alexander (10/5): Peaceful, beaufiful and comfortable stay close to nature - We loved and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere at Filoxenia. It was wonderful to spend time at the beautiful surrounding with lots of flowers and olive trees. The room with private bathroom exceeded our expectations. It was really clean! We spent four nights at Filoxenia during off season. We can imagine that during the summer the rooms stay cool and comfortable too.
The breakfast was delicious and included their own olive oil - which we loved to take home to bring home some holiday feelings back to Germany. We did not expect to be able to even have ocean view from the location.
- Cassie (10/5): A wonderful and relaxing stay with lovely people - This is a beautiful place with beautiful people. Thimio & Anna really helped us out with some car problems and made our stay really comfortable and enjoyable. They went out of their way to give us tips and recommendations for things to do in the area and they were all great! If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing place to explore the area then this is the one!
- Tutu (9/5): Lovely getaway in rural Albania - We had a great stay at Filoxena – the location is tranquil and idyllic, it has a lovely rustic vibe, amazing spacious garden, well equipped covered kitchen, ample parking space and pretty much everything we needed. Our room was nice, spacious and cosy. We were working remotely in the garden during the day and the internet was good enough. The place is 5 mins driving to the beach and wasn't too difficult to find with the host's instructions. We came to Albania for freediving and climbing and the location is perfect for both! Thanks to Thimjo and his wife for welcoming and hosting us :) the access road was a bit bumpy because of the building works nearby, but it wasn't too bad and not the hosts' fault
- Rik (9/5): Amazing hosts in a wonderful location - Thimios and Anna are amazing hosts and helped wherever they could. They are amazing! The location also is very nice and quiet with a nice warm sun in the morning during our breakfast. The beds are quite hard and you can feel the springs inside the matras.
