Hotel Vila Alvin & Apartments

I fell in love with Saranda, and Alvin apartments were just perfect. I can’t say enough about the place. 10000000000 +

The sea view from the apartment balcony is lovely. It’s a beautiful apartment right by the water, and the owner was kind and helpful. They also rent bikes. He even came to collect us from the Sarandë bus stop at 3 am.

The owners made us feel very welcome and were super friendly and helpful. The apartment was beautifully clean, with a comfy bed, extra blankets in the wardrobe, and a lovely sea-view balcony. There’s also a proper greeter at the gate, a lovely chow who checks where you’ve been each day. It’s far enough from the madness of Sarande town, which can feel a bit terrifying, but still within walking distance of lovely restaurants the locals use. Litre bottles of wine, you say? Our recommendation is traverna del mare, which you pass on the way to the apartment road. If you see a street dog called Black and Tan there, she loves a fuss and treats. We named her molly. I’d highly recommend Vila Alvin.

Irene and her husband made our stay really relaxing. Irene was wonderful, helpful, and welcoming. The villa is right beside the sea and is a very beautiful place, with lots of space, a good setup, and everything very clean. I won’t look for another place in Saranda. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
