## Identity

- Name on both listings: "Casa Del Sol - Luxury Villas"
- Type: guest house (Booking.com classifies and describes it as a guest house)
- Address: Rruga Vangjel Zoto (SH8), Potam, Himarë, 9425, Vlorë County, Albania
- Coordinates: 40.075764 N, 19.771015 E
- Elevation at the pin: about 100 m above sea level (EU-DEM 25 m)
- Google Maps place: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Casa+Del+Sol+-+Luxury+Villas/@40.0757599,19.7710209,17z
- Booking.com: https://www.booking.com/hotel/al/casa-del-sol-luxury-villas.html
- Tripadvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g801295-d25429294-Reviews-Casa_Del_Sol_Luxury_Villas-Himare_Vlore_County.html

The coordinate is Booking.com's own embedded map centre (data-atlas-latlng
40.075763937851,19.771014581051), which lands one metre from the Google Maps place pin. Two
platforms agreeing to a metre, on an exact name match, is what establishes identity for this
property.

## Not published, and why

- **No telephone number.** The number carried in third-party directories for this property,
  +355 68 890 0043, is published on vila-infinity.al as the number for Vila Infinity — Luxury
  Rooms, a different business 73 m up the same hillside. It is not Casa Del Sol's.
- **No website.** vila-infinity.al belongs to Vila Infinity and never names Casa Del Sol. The
  website field on the Google Maps panel points at a BluePillow metasearch page, which is an
  affiliate landing page and not the property's own site. No first-party site was found.
- **Not "beachfront".** Booking.com tags the property beachfront and its listing description
  claims "direct beachfront access". The pin sits about 100 m above sea level and roughly 618 m
  in a straight line from the nearest beach, so the claim is not published here.
- **No star rating, no luxury class, no villa or room count.** "Luxury Villas" is the owner's
  trading name. Tripadvisor lists 8 rooms and a third-party aggregator lists 9; nothing
  authoritative settles it, so no count is stated.
- **No prices.** Rates change; check the listing.

## Straight-line distances from the pin

Straight line, computed from the verified coordinate against OpenStreetMap features. The road down
the hillside switchbacks, so walking distances are longer — the Booking.com listing's own figures
(1.9 km to Llamani Beach, 1.6 km to the Cave of Porto Palermo Beach) are road distances.

- A submarine bunker — 488 m
- Llaman Beach (Plazhi i Llamanit) — 618 m
- Mateus Beach — 736 m
- Porto Palermo Beach — 1.7 km
- Himarë town — 3.7 km
