Vila Arial

Very nice hotel and super price, I recommended it. It is very close to the beach and walkable distance to the city center.

Close to beach, 15 minutes walk from town We were in a great location a quick walk to the beach, 15 minute walk to the city of Vlore. There are some great restaurants nearby as well as markets and coffee shops. The only thing we did wrong was follow google maps though it brought us there we did walk through a sketchy area. We quickly figured out instead just walk to the beach and go right in about 15 minutes as it’s easy to find. It’s in a nice area but the wifi is not what you are use to in North America. We liked it so much here we actually extended our stay.

The property is absolutely fine for people wanting no frills. There is plenty of space for 2 people but the apartment comes across as if they aren't quite sure what to put in there. There was no kettle, only 3 of each piece of cutlery and only 1 teaspoon, 3 cups and 3 glasses which is strange as the apartment can sleep 4 people. A small sofa would be a fantastic addition as well as the availability of extra heavy blankets. There were no instructions for the cooker or any checkout instructions. All simple things to make the stay more comfortable and could add value for the owners. I would also suggest the option of a welcome basket would also be a welcome option (obviously at an additional cost) The walk to town is about 10 minutes but the local bars like bar minimal is an excellent destination with good food and beer and well worth a visit Don't believe the stereotypes, Albania is wonderful, give it a go and be pleased
