Hostel on the Hill - by Filikuri Beach

I actually thought this was one of the loveliest, most tranquil stays in Himarë. The view is beautiful, it’s away from all the chaos. The hill has the benefit of it being a little cooler and less stagnant than anywhere else. It also happens to be the closest hostel to one of the most beautiful beaches in the town — it takes you half way up the hill for the hike to get there.

It is true that the hill is a bit savage, but don’t let it put you off staying. It is also true that the woman is scary, but don’t let it put you off staying.

I recently stayed at the hostel on the hill for 7 nights . The view from the balcony was amazing , loved watching the sunsets in the evening and waking up to a beautiful view in the morning . The room was clean and bed fairly comfortable . I had the breakfast there for 4 euros which i thought which was filling with natural ingredients, at a good price compared to the price in the restaurants . .

I felt the cooking facilities could have been better , no toaster or kettle, just one hob for everyone to use . Although it clearly states its on a hill , i would exercise caution when booking as the walk up the hill to get to it is quite tiring , to summarise if you forgot your sunscreen , you would probably just buy another one , than walk up the hill to get it . Some people were checking out while i was their and gave a reason that they did not like the walk up the hill , and prefer to move to a hostel more centrally located .

Very very clean! The couple that run it are so hospitable (even in their limited English). They took me to the bus and sorted it all for me, such a blessing!! Great location up the hill with incredible views and only 10 min walk down to the amazing private Filikuri cove.

La vista al llegar arriba es muy linda, y la realidad es que era la única opción accesible que tenía disponible para alquilar en himare reservando con pocos dias de antelación. Los dueños no hablan ingles y la dueña es bien como una señora estresada que la terminas amando pero no se te ocurra decirle nada

Al llegar tenia un mensaje que me cancelaban la reserva en el dia. Por suerte cuando llegue igual me recibieron y dormi en la cocina - lo cual agradezco porque si tenia que volver a bajar la colina de noche iba a ser un desastre. Sin embargo por esto dormi una noche en un cuarto y otra en otro lo cual, a mi personalmente me re embola que me cambien. La subida de noche tiene muy poca luz, por lo que pase miedo subiendo sola pero es perfectamente seguro. Y para varios dias subir y bajar varias veces es cansador, pero ellos lo promocionan asi.
