    This is our favorite winter escape place to enjoy the empty beach and relax, both in the garden and inside the apartment. It’s cozy and perfectly equipped. Highly recommended!

    Everything was great! The house has a fantastic design, it was clean and with everything you need in it. It felt really like a home, comfortable and curated in every details. The garden was also amaizing, very relaxing and quiet. The owners gave us a welcoming feeling during all our stay. We could have delivery from the restaurants near the area and could eat in the garden… very enjoyable.

    Absolutely nothing comes to mind.

    This is an 1-bedroom apartment in a gated community, right on the beach. The place has everything you may need, with modern and tasteful fixtures; the bonus is a lovely manicured garden. A summer evening in the garden (do not forget to switch the garden lights on) with a cup of wine is truly memorable. Communication with friendly Armando was seamless, and prompt. In both our first and last day, he was overly accommodating with finding a parking spot for us, as well as early / late check-in/out whenever was possible. In vala mar (the name of the village / gated community), I suggest the bedouin restaurant, which is a 10 minute walk. I highly recommend this place for a restful holiday in the Albanian riviera.

    Located in a very luxurious and well-kept complex, the apartment is arranged in a very carefully and tasteful way. Everything you can think of is available in the apartment. I mean not only fixtures, but all kinds of household items and supplies. The cleaning of the apartment, all household items and home textiles is very good. The air conditioning system and the internet are excellent. The garden is magnificent and fascinating. In addition, due to the location of the garden and the apartment, you can have a cool time in the hottest hours of the day. Armando the guest, very practical and analytical.

    Everything was great.

    Staying at this property was a delightful experience. The garden and apartment provide a warm, home like feeling. The interior is both comfortable and cozy, with cleanliness maintained to a high standard. Our host was exceptionally considerate, waiting for our late night arrival to ensure everything was perfect.

    Located in an apartment complex (a village really) with about 5 cafes/restaurants and a single small grocery store. The apartment is very nice, with a beautiful garden under the shadow of big trees making it always cool. Walking around the complex seen nothing comparable. The apartment has lots of appliances, from toaster to washing machine. 2 min walking distance to a clean beach (rare in Albania) with shallow waters (safe for kids). Very nice host, super friendly, speaks very good English, helped us when the battery in a rented car died :) It was not a problem for us, but be aware: there's not much to do in the apartment complex or within walking distance, and public transport in Albania is non-existent, so you will most definitely need a car if you want to see the country.

    Did we find a paradise as promised in the name, this is what everyone now wants to know? Yesssss! We found a wonderful, really wonderful home! We travel quite a lot within Europe, but this was our best apartment we ever rented for vacations. A place like a dream, simply a paradise. Not promised too much. From minute one we felt like it was our home. We found decent and tasteful furniture, harmonic decoration, super comfy bedding, nothing missing at all. You park in front of the building. And if we now start to talk about the garden... we won't, you have to see it by yourself. The long and broad beach is very close. Our host Armando was extremely attentive. This place is simply full of love.

    Nothing, cannot wait to be back in spring!

    The apartment is very functional, well equipped and comfortable. The best asset is definitely the garden, that we enjoy although it was winter. The beach and bars / restaurants open also off season are at walking distance. We liked coming back to this cozy place after spending the day outside. The apartment is well heated and we liked the big couch and Netflix access. Staff is English speaking, really professional, welcoming and we got many useful tips.

    Nothing! It was a lovely stay and I’d recommend coming here again. I’ll likely book it again in the summer.

    I really enjoyed the facilities and how modern, sleek, and comfortable of the apartment was. The location was excellent and the garden was very secluded and comfortable. I really enjoyed the hammocks as well as just relaxing on the grass.
