Our villa in Vlore is a peaceful and welcoming retreat, offering five private rental rooms, each with its own bathroom, and four equipped with kitchens—ideal for both short and long stays. Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, the property features free Wi-Fi, free private parking, a lush garden, a spacious terrace, balconies with views, and outdoor grill facilities for guests who enjoy cooking and dining in the open air. Whether you're traveling as a couple, a family, or on your own, the villa provides a relaxing atmosphere where you can truly unwind. Just 200 meters from the beach, it offers the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility, with restaurants, shops, and entertainment within easy walking distance. It's the kind of place that feels like home while giving you the freedom to explore the best of Vlore and the Albanian Riviera.
My name is Joel Malaj, and I’m passionate about travel, hospitality, and sharing the beauty of Albania with others. I manage several apartments, villas, and hotels, and I personally own two properties that I take great pride in maintaining for my guests. My love for travel has taken me all over Albania—I've explored around 90% of the country—which allows me to offer unique local insights and personalized recommendations to help guests make the most of their stay. Whether it's discovering hidden beaches, trying traditional food, or finding the best spots for adventure, I'm always happy to share what I know. I speak English and Italian, and I enjoy connecting with people from all over the world. Outside of hosting, I’m an enthusiast of chess, sports, and extreme adventures. For me, hosting is not just about providing a place to stay—it's about creating a memorable and welcoming experience for every guest.
The villa is located in the peaceful and charming Old Beach neighborhood of Vlore, just 200 meters from the sea. It’s a quiet area ideal for relaxing, yet it’s close to everything you might need for a perfect holiday. Within walking distance, you’ll find a variety of restaurants, beach bars, cafes, and shops, as well as opportunities for water sports and boat trips along the stunning Albanian Riviera. The neighborhood is well-connected and easy to explore—guests can choose to walk along the scenic coastline, rent a bike or scooter, or use nearby public transport and taxi services. Whether you're looking to unwind by the sea or discover the vibrant local culture, Old Beach offers the ideal blend of tranquility and convenience.
