Villa Xani

We stayed here for about 2 and a half weeks. We were comfortable and enjoyed our host. We had a beautiful view from the balcony. The AC worked well! We even got to be the first to jump into the new pool. There is a bit of a hike from town but we got used to it. It made it nice not to be too close to all the noise of downtown. Our room was cleaned almost daily. Our host offered beach umbrellas, olive oil, and raki. He was always checking into make sure we were doing well.

The room was a little tight for a family of five but we made it work.

Everything was perfect. The owner was super nice and he even brought us a welcome shot of homemade raki (traditional Albanian spirit) for free. He answered every question that we had and recommended places to visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Xani. The hospitality was excellent, and the location offered a great balance of accessibility and quiet. What I liked: The Host: Costa is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He greeted us with homemade raki upon arrival and even gifted us a bottle of his homemade olive oil, which was absolutely delicious! Amenities: We were pleasantly surprised to be the first guests to use the newly finished pool! Also, providing three beach umbrellas was a huge help, as it allowed us to skip the daily cost of renting chairs at the beach. Location: While the villa is up a hill, it remains easily walkable to the main beach in Himare. It’s also very convenient for supplies, being just a 9-minute walk from Alpha Supermarket. Service: When we had a minor issue with ants on the floor on our second day, Costa and his cleaner took care of it very quickly and efficiently.

Honestly, there wasn't much to complain about! The only thing to be aware of is the short uphill walk from the beach, but we found it manageable and well worth the stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Xani in Himarë. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and well equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. Kostos was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The peaceful location offers beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere, while still being only a short walk from the town center and the beach. We especially appreciated the cleanliness, the private parking, and the warm hospitality that made our stay so enjoyable. Everything was well maintained, and the attention to detail was evident throughout our visit. We would highly recommend Villa Xani to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in Himarë, and we would gladly return in the future. Very good value for money. They were building a swimming pool so hope to enjoy it in next visit!

Nothing microwave or oven trays- not a huge issue as could work around it!
