Aphrodite's Garden

This family-owned hotel was very welcoming, with a spectacular view and super friendly staff. Breakfast was great, and dinner was very good, the best in Himare for us. It’s about a 5 minutes drive from the beach, and Himare castle and the old town can also be reached on foot or in 5 minutes by car. The old town was lovely to visit. I highly recommend staying here in Himare.

The exceptionally clean hotel has a breathtaking view and a warm, family-like atmosphere created by the friendly staff. Spirus and the whole team deserve special thanks, especially Irini. Her nurturing way of caring for our child and us made a huge difference. We’re truly grateful for the hospitality and will definitely come back.

The rooms were clean and the view from ours was exceptional. Staff throughout the hotel were welcoming and friendly, including the restaurant team, who were always attentive to guests. The restaurant was amazing, and breakfast had a wonderful selection with plenty of food. We had a great stay and would certainly return.

This was the best cost-benefit we found in Albania. The room was comfortable and the location suited us well, giving us a relaxing start to our road trip along the Albanian coast. I would have stayed another night if I’d known how much we’d enjoy it. There are other nice beaches nearby, although I preferred Sarande. Ksamil felt too busy and expensive, while the area around Himare seemed better and less crowded to me. Gjipe is a must-see! The one problem was the hotel restaurant’s lack of vegetarian dinner options. Fortunately, the neighboring hotel, Persephone, had a few, and those choices should be added to the menu.
