Everything about the accommodation is exceptional. The incredibly beautiful view, surrounding, and garden speak for themselves. But really, what made our stay unforgettable was the hospitality of the family. The three year old girl living at the house was always around to play with our baby daughter, the family father invited us for drinks and offered to take us along when going to Himare centre, and the grandmother made sure we always had coffee, hot water for the baby, and dinner produced freshly from ingredients right from the garden. If you are looking for an intense cultural experience, you will love the place.

A unique travel experience with a wonderful couple. Staying with Albanian/Greek grandparents who are constantly bringing you food should be on every travellers bucket list (and adorning travel books).

Authentic homestay in a traditional country house, where a charming old lady who only speaks Greek (and some Albanian) is a host. Breakfast is usually from homemade ingredients, such as cheese and vegetables. Brilliant homestay, very relaxing.

Solch liebenswerte Gastgeber kann man sich nur wünschen. Auch mit Sprachbarrieren eine herzliche, umsorgende Athmosphere. Es hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen.

La pureza de los dueños. La señora es un encanto, agradable, atenta y la mejor anfitriona que hemos tenido. Nos ha abastecido de comida durante toda nuestra estancia, todo casero y de su propio huerto, ha sido toda una experiencia y nos ha hecho sentir en familia. El lugar es encantador, con vistas a la playa y a la montaña, reina la tranquilidad. Lo recomendamos a toda persona que pase por aquí que se quede mínimo una noche, es toda una experiencia que cualquier viajero debemos llevarnos!

We werden liefdevol ontvangen met koffie en fruit. Met Google Translate kun je een aardig gesprek volgen. We kwamen rond 7 uur s'avonds aan. Nadat we de koffers in de kamer hadden gezet. Stond er heerlijk eten op tafel, salade en fruit en we kregen raki. Het zijn erg lieve mensen. Wij hebben het ontzettend fijn gehad. We hebben met elkaar gegeten en gelachen. Zoon en kleindochter waren er ook, heel gezellig. Het uitzicht is ook prachtig!!!

Consiglio a chiunque soggiorni a Himare di andare in questa struttura, dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. La stanza é parte di una casa tipica con un bellissimo giardino coperto a vite da cui si vede il mare. La colazione é rigorosamente preparata in casa da un'anziana donna d'altri tempi, che vi offrirà frutta appena colta e caffè ad ogni ora. Non ci sono lussi e comodità, é tutto spartano qui. Ma non vi mancherà niente, anzi lascerete un pezzo di cuore.

Los abuelos ofrecen su casa y todo lo que tienen, su bondad es lo oque más no atrajo, el sitio es magnifico, no porque tendrían grandes cosas sino porque te lo dan todo.El desayuno muy bueno y con mucho cariño. No pudimos entendernos todo lo que quisiéramos porque no teníamos datos ni había wifi pero el ingenio nos hizo comunicarnos, eso y el Raki! Gracias por todo fue una experiencia maravillosa.

Iannis e Santippi sono i migliori host che potrete trovare in tutta la vostra vacanza. Il luogo è incantevole e tranquillo, l'accoglienza calorosa e gentile. Siamo stati coccolati a fichi e raki. Consigliatissimo
