    Couldn’t have picked a better spot to end our trip!

    Liked : We had an amazing end to our trip in Himare at First house. Very helpful and attentive owners. The location was perfect. Just down a few stairs to the main strip/road. Off of the busy and loud strip but a very close walk. You can hear some street noise from the patio (expected) but with the door closed it’s fine and ends around 11:30-12 PM. Gorgeous property with the best view. The bed was very comfortable. The room was spacious and you got the best sunset view from the cozy patio. There’s an in room fridge and a very nice communal use kitchen space.
    The bed was extremely comfortable.
    The parking was close by.
    I would 100% stay again if we came back to Himare.

    Disliked : Not the properties fault, but I do prefer an extra blanket provided in rooms in case you and your partner sleep at different AC level comforts.

    Nice place to stay! Do not drive there until reading instructions.

    Liked : READ BELOW. First house is a great choice for your stay in Himare. It’s right at the top of the small hill off the beach, and the stairs to get there are very charming. Please, the restaurant right at the base of the stairs has an amazing sunset view and tremendous pizza. The room itself is very clean and the property is nice.

    If you’re driving there, DO NOT follow Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, etc., to the property. They recently build a road which is what those apps will bring you down, but one of the property owners didn’t sell land for them to keep going on the road, so it is a DEAD END. These streets are narrow and you will have to back up for blocks, with inches on both sides of your instead.

    Instead, make sure to read Tito’s instructions and stop at the cafe and church before you go any bit up the hill. They have a chained off parking lot on this road, where you can park.

    Overall amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Himarë!

    Liked : I had a fantastic stay at First House in Himarë. The property is absolutely beautiful — well-maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning views. The facilities were excellent, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including use of the well designed kitchen, and laundry machine. The location is perfect: close to the beach, shops, and restaurants, but still quiet and private. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful throughout our visit. Thank you Timo! I truly appreciated their hospitality.

    Great Stay in Himarë

    Liked : Modern big room and bathroom. Great location close to the beach (flight of stairs) and nice sea view from the balcony. Plenty of options at breakfast.

    Disliked : A little pricier compared to other options in the area but in our eyes worth it.

    We loved our stay in Himare and at First House.

    Liked : Lovely and quiet property, the terrace room has an amazing view of the sea and really nice to spend time on. The double room has a view of the sea as well, the terrace is smaller (we stayed in both rooms over 3 nights). It’s only a few min walk to beach and overall feels very special. The owners are very nice.

    This place rocks

    Liked : Best of Albania. Impeccable and comfortable rooms, comfortable bed, beautiful view from the balcony. Delicious breakfast every morning. Timo and Ellen are so welcoming and kind, and provide everything for a comfortable stay. We appreciated having an umbrella to bring to the beach and being able to do our laundry. We could have stayed another week! Highly recommended, thank you for the wonderful stay.

    Disliked : Nothing.
