to get started.

Very friendly staff/family who runs the hotel. Delicious breakfast. Clean room and comfortable bed.

Ziva, Slovenia

The staff here are super friendly and chatty, and were very accommodating to our schedule. Our room was new and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. We enjoyed the big balcony with the sea view. There was some road noise in the morning but the hotel was very quiet inside. We appreciated the larger fridge and the super large shower towels. Breakfast was ample and filling, served quickly by very friendly staff.

Dpa, Ireland

Patrizia, Vietnam

Villa Balani is lovely little hotel run by the amiable Stender and his family. Stender is extremely hospitable, does not speak a lot of English, but if necessary his son who speaks very good English is around. The rooms are squeaky clean with excellent beds. The hotel is a little back from the main road, so together with good isolation, noise from the road is no issue. The beach is less than one minute walking away. bathrooms are smallish but more than adequate. Breakfast is freshly prepared with nice local touches each morning. We highly recommend Villa Balani.

Hans, Netherlands

The owner was very kind and helpfull. He doesn't speak much english but his son came to help him in case of any questions. The owner drove me to the busstation in Durres. The shower was the best I had in Albania. The bed was also really good.

Some of the fixtures in the bathroom were a little loose, and a few hangers in the wardrobe would be useful!

I think a bit of variation in the breakfast menu would be welcomed by those who stay for several days.
The comfortable, clean, bright room, new furniture, silent air conditioning, a large terrace overlooking the street, the owner always present, smiling and very kind, these are the things that I liked at Villa Balani. Parking is large and secure, breakfast is consistent and tasty.
