Anxhelos

Livadh · Himarë · Albania

The table is on the beach, and the room is in the same building.

Anxhelos is one house with two halves on the shingle at Livadh — a kitchen that runs from breakfast to cocktail hour, and rooms whose balconies look at the same water it cooks beside.

Livadhi Bay from the property: the pine-topped headland, the jetty and rows of straw parasols along the shingle.

In front of the door

Livadhi is the beach, not a walk to one.

Grey shingle, straw parasols in rows, and water that goes from clear to ink within a few strokes. The headland at the end of the bay carries pines down to the rock; the jetty in the middle of the bay is where the boats tie up. Beach umbrellas and sun loungers are part of a stay here.

Livadhi Beach in late afternoon: grey shingle, straw and canvas parasols, sun loungers, and the mountains behind Himarë.

The address

The kitchen is open all day.

The restaurant is what the address points at: the postal line for this house names it. Pizza and seafood, steaks and grills, local and international cooking — and six sittings a day rather than two. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are cooked.

The dining room at Anxhelos: slate-blue walls, white beamed ceiling, rattan pendant lamps and timber tables with white chairs.
Bare timber tables in the dining room, with the preserved-moss wall, the oak fins and the covered terrace through the sliding doors.

The rooms

Two rooms: one has a third bed and the water.

White walls, a slatted oak headboard the width of the wall, a hanging rail, air conditioning, a fridge and a kettle. Most rooms open onto a balcony with a glass rail, so the horizon starts at the floor.

One material

The bathroom is lined in veined blue-grey stone.

Wall to ceiling and across the vanity top, a dark stone shot through with warm ochre veins. The vein that rules this page was traced out of a photograph of it.

With it: a walk-in shower, a white basin set on the stone shelf, folded towels beneath it, and a hairdryer on the wall.
