Fell in love with this hotel, already have recommended it to all my best friends and am already thinking to come back here next year. This hotel allowed me to feel luxury without spending much money: they have delicious breakfast included (with lots of variety, eggs, pastry, pancakes, crepes etc), beautiful view from the balcony (on the sea and Greek islands), a beach that belongs to the hotel, nice rooms — i’m soo happy I chose this hotel for my stay in Saranda. Ah and the location is good
