Rruga Zaho Koka 57 · Himarë · Albania
The garden, the terrace and the parking
The ground floor of this hotel is mostly outdoors: a lawn under thatch, tables in the shade, a kitchenette off it and the parking that comes with it.
Chairs that follow the shade
Two thatched parasols stand over the lawn, with folding timber director's chairs and a round timber table under the nearer one. Further back a second table sits under a square parasol with black woven armchairs round it, against the stone wall where the geraniums and the bougainvillea are.
It is where the day here tends to settle — somewhere to put a coffee down in the morning and a beer in the evening, out of the sun and out of the street.

Two signs
One indoors, one on the garden wall
The name is hand-painted twice over: green script on sawn planks indoors, with a driftwood branch across them and figures set into them in beach pebbles, and a yellow board out on the garden wall pointing the way in.
A kettle, a moka pot and a hob
There is a kitchenette with open oak shelves — glasses, cups, plates, a bowl — a hob, a kettle, a refrigerator and a moka pot standing ready beside it.
Breakfast is served in the morning, continental or à la carte. Whether it is part of your rate depends on the rate you pick when you book.
