"There was really good view and the castle + city centre was nearby! We visited in February and there was heating provided (not so common in Albanian apartments). Place was clean and everything we needed was there (kitchen, bathroom,..). Hosts were kind and helpful and gave us tips around the city."

"L’accueil et la générosité de "notre mamie" qui nous a ouvert sa maison avec beaucoup de douceur. Aux petits soins pour nous, elle nous a fait découvrir quelques plats traditionnels. Notre chambre était très confortable, salle de bains impeccable. La terrasse le soir pour admirer dans le silence la vue sur la ville et la montagne c'était génial. Blade est adorable, de bons conseils. Nous passons passer 6 nuits formidable"

Guest reviews

"For those who are light sleepers, this room is not for you because it located by the street and a lot of bikers and cars passing by after midnight. But everything else in the apartment is MAGICAL."

Avis de Alaa Coral Cane Apartment

"Hidden gem in Saranda, very friendly and professional staff. We loved the view and the room, also the breakfast and sunsets on the rooftop are a must! There is an amazing traditional restaurant right below (Sophra) and small public & private beaches a few meters further. It was perfect for us to relax after a long roadtrip"
