Spile · Himarë · Albania
Three floors of balconies above Spile Beach.
A beachfront guest house at the north end of the Himarë seafront. Rooms face either the open Ionian or the ridge behind the town, and every one of them has a balcony.
01 — Where it stands
The beach is fifty metres from the door.
Spile Beach begins roughly fifty metres away, across the property's own forecourt, and runs east from here along the Himarë promenade. Sea-facing rooms look out over the water; the cafés and restaurants of the seafront are a walk along the shore rather than a drive.
The property has its own parking forecourt, which is unusual this close to the water, and it is free.

02 — What you see
Two aspects, and the room type tells you which one you get.
The sea
Sea-facing rooms open onto the water at the north end of the bay — the shallows below, the jetty to the south and the far shore on the horizon.
The mountains
Mountain-facing rooms look back over the rooftops of Himarë to the Ceraunian ridge, and they get the evening light on the hillside.
03 — The rooms
Nine room types, published exactly as they are sold.
Doubles and triples, some named for their aspect. Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a balcony or terrace, a refrigerator, a flat-screen television and a kettle with tea and coffee.
