Guest reviews for Vila Katalea
"-Location, about 10 minutes from Old town. - Good size of space."
"-Like some of the other reviews mentioned, the owner tried to give us a one bedroom with a sofa in the living room after we reserved a two bedroom. When we protested, brought up the other reviews complaining about this, and produced a message history when we had asked in advance if they were definitely going to provide a two bedroom and them confirming they would, the owner’s wife, who was a decent woman, told him to give us what we reserved. The owner then to charge us extra, which we again had to protest. Maybe he tried to charge extra because the two bedroom was part of a larger suite but they locked that part anyway and ultimately gave us what we reserved and paid for, which was what should have happened in the first place. -As other reviews mentioned, the shower situation is messy/uncomfy because there is no barrier/curtain that separates it from the rest of the bathroom."

It is an easy 20min walk from the old town, so as long as you don’t mind this a perfect place to stay while visiting the city"
"Everything was clean and new, with all equipment in perfect working order. I would add a shower curtain rather than an open shower, while not a problem for us some guests might not appreciate :)"

Guest reviews
"Great location for getting in touch with a bit of local life and out of the tourist area. In middle of fruit and vegetable garden. We made great salad from the vegetables. There was a nice family restaurant down the road. Recommended and also the private beach by the hotel was the cleanest beach we visited in Albania."
"Lovely welcome from the hosts with offers of coffee and raki! Comfortable room for the night with all that we needed. Had the fish that was on offer in the evening which was yummy. Able to walk down to the boardwalk and monastery. Recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet getaway."
