The B&B title of the hotel would suggest that breakfast is served, but not during our 2 night stay. The off street secure parking was also not available. We booked a seaview 'triple' room at extra cost on the presumption that this would offer extra space, but it just means an extra bed is crammed into the smallish room. The... More

A basic B&B offering clean rooms right on the beachfront. VIew of the beach is what makes it worth it - don't get one roadside. 40 Euro's per night seems okay, but I've had better value in Albania. Good comprehensive breakfast served on the balcony of your room. Balcony is a great place to seat, with just the fact that... More

This hotel was the gamble during our trip through Albania but wat a good gamble it turned out to be. The hotel is in a nice location just outside of central Himara. The hotel has a small wonderfull private beach just between two of the major beaches in Himara. When we arrived (end of the season) there were only 2... More

We stayed 1 night in a room for 50 euro, and a second night in a room on the ground floor for 40 euro. To be short: its a huge difference. 50 Euro room was amazing, the other room was a big disappointment (stinky, shabby and bad shower)

Very good and cosy hotel, although it has only 10 rooms. It is located directly on the beach. Rooms are airconditioned, clean and spacious and the ones facing the sea are far more better than the ones facing the national road which passes directhly in front of the hotel. Seaview is breathtaking and faling into sleep listening the waves is... More

The Mare is a modern simple guest house that delivers what it promises: unrivalled beach access, a breakfast with a view and a location on the super-calm Potami beach, Himare, away from the trashy town. The owners are charming but speak almost no English. They provide you with a lovely guide to the area including several hidden gems well worth... More

Look, I will start this out by saying you don't end up in Himara by mistake. You either intend to come here or you don't. So, if you want to come to Himara this is a great place. The room was huge and modern, right on the beach. So of course if you "splurge the €35 or 40, get an... More

My wife and two children spent a week at the Hotel Mare last July and we had a great time. The rooms are very modern and clean. Everything works and is well designed. Best of all, you can hear the surf from the seaview rooms. Breakfast is pleasant in the open air. The owners are very friendly and conscientious, although... More

We found the hotel on the web, and the host was welcoming and helpful through email contact. It's location is easy reachable when arriving by bus from Vlora, just outside of the "city center" closer ro Rapos resort. We were welcomed by the hosts father and he only spoke greek. This language barrier led to some confusion, but he was... More
