Drymades · Dhërmi · Albanian Riviera
Six blue rooms above the olive groves of Drymades.
A 2018 house on the Perivolo road, run by its host, Romeo: teal walls, flowered headboards, patchwork-tiled bathrooms and, from the sea side, the Ionian over the cypresses.
The house
Drimades Blue Rooms is five rooms and an apartment in a white house in Lagjia Papreo, the quiet upper part of Drymades, about 1.4 km up the hill from Palasa Beach.
Inside it is modern and graphic rather than rustic: porcelain floors, a teal wall behind each bed, headboards printed with big blue flowers, hexagon shelves, louvred doors on the terraces. The beach is a short drive down. Up here there are olive trees and cypresses, the mountain behind, and on the sea side, the water beyond them.
Romeo, and what guests say
The host is the point
Guests on Booking.com score the house 9.4 out of 10, wonderful, and give the staff 9.7.
Romeo answers on WhatsApp, in Greek, English, French or Italian. Cleanliness and comfort are scored 9.5; the one lower mark is the location, because the house is up the hill rather than on the sand.
The rooms
Six rooms, each with its own tile
Two doubles, two triples, a quadruple with bunks and an apartment with a kitchen and a terrace. Sea on one side of the house, the mountain on the other.

The patchwork
No two squares alike
The bathroom walls are a patchwork of patterned tiles: stars, cubes, quatrefoils, octagons and lattices, mixed square by square, beside plain grey tile and white basins.
The squares drawn across this site are copied from those walls, one for each room.
The place
Up the Perivolo road
Lagjia Papreo is one of the quietest corners of Dhërmi, above the beach clubs on the slope behind Drymades. A car helps: the beaches, the old village and the tavernas are all a short drive away.

Is there a kitchen?
The Apartment with Terrace has its own kitchen with an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle and a toaster, and a dining table. The rooms have a fridge and a minibar but no cooking, and there is no restaurant in the house; Dhërmi's tavernas are a short drive away.
