    Some problems with drain and toilet in the room, but not that bad, I'm sure they will be easily fixed. Wi fi signal in our room is something which needs to be improved. For those who have no roaming, wi fi at the accommodation is essential. But all in all, it was very good. I recommend this place to stay

    Very nice location, beautiful garden, very very clean. Breakfast was different every day, which is very important. We had dedicated parking space. We could go outside the room directly in the garden, which gives a very comfortable sensation. But above all these, the friendly hosts made the place very friendly and nice.

    The chairs on the patio balcony were broken and there were only 2 despite the fact we were in a room for 3. It would have been better to have a table on the balcony too. And also the room lacked hangars and would have benefited from hooks on the walls to allow clothes to be hung. Having to pay extra for a second come of coffee in the morning was embarrassing. A maiden for drying clothes would have been helpful too

    The hospitality of the hosts. The breakfasts were amazing. The cleanliness of the rooms. The turtles weee ace.!!! Mila and Iliri were very friendly too.

    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. However we needed a car to make the location work for us and the hosts provided a great recommendation.

    This is a wonderful haven in Saranda with amazing hosts in Mila and Iliri and they were super helpful with local knowledge regarding places to visit and restaurants. Mila’s Breakfasts were outstanding and different every day. The rooms worked well for us as a family of four.

    The shower in the bathroom. When you shower the entire bathroom gets wet- but it dries really quick.

    The location was great. It’s not direct at the beach front but it’s like a 20 minutes walk. So it’s quite quite there. The hosts were the sweetest and very welcoming. And they have a few turtles in the garden, when you’re lucky you might see them.

    Our stay at Joanna & Matteo villa was expceptional. Mila is the sweetest host we have ever met. She is kind, generous, attentive and has a beautiful heart. She welcomed us at the villa as if it was our home for the few days we were there, and it really did feel like home. Moreover, she serves the best breakfasts every morning, with fresh figs from her backyard tree, absolutely delicious. The place is well located, a little bit outside of the center, making it absolutely peaceful. The views on the mountains are mesmerizing and the main area is beautiful and well maintained. If we ever come back to Saranda, we would definitely come to Mila's place again, so should you ! Only positive things to say Thank you for everything xxox (For Mila : we hope you got the keys, we don't have a phone to call you :( )

    The bathroom in our room was a bit small and there was no dedicated area for the shower. By the time you finish showering, the whole bathroom was a little pool

    The hosts were absolutely amazing! You can see they put a lot of effort into making the place cozy (particularly the garden and breakfast area), and breakfast was just delicious

    We should have checked in advance if we had a shower instead of a brouse in the bathroom. You can imagine that the kids exactly then needed to use the toilet when the room was all wet from showering as we were not used to it. But it was very clean.

    We liked the garden with the turtles knowing that our children could play there safely. It is a quiet place to be instead of the big hotels at the crowed beach boulevard. The breakfast and the dinner we once had was great. Furthermore Milla was the perfect host, taking care of the guests and giving us insight into Albanian lifestyle. Ilie (I hope to write it correctly) is also very motivated and helpful but should take a bit less about his car rentals ;)

    As the sign had been taken down it was difficult to find. I appreciate building work is going on but this got us off to a stressful start.

    The owners are wonderful, chatty, helpful, and even cooked us an evening meal. The mattress is super comfy. Lovely balcony . Nothing was too much trouble.
