Himarë · Vlorë County · Albania
Above the pitch, below the ridge.
Rruga Himarë, Himara Park (at football fields)9425 Himarë, Albania
The address
The football field is the landmark.
The fenced five-a-side pitch sits about fifty-five metres below the hotel, and the address is written around it because that is how a driver finds the turning. The town’s own ground, Petro Ruci stadium, is a separate thing six hundred metres further down.
From the turning everything runs downhill. Spille, the town beach, is an eleven-minute walk, and the tavernas are on the front behind it. The castle and the old village go the other way, up the ridge.
Coordinates 40.10909, 19.74342.

Arriving.
- By car
- The SH8 coast road runs through Himarë. Turn up the hill towards Himara Park; the hotel is above the fenced football pitch. Parking is free, private and on site, with a garage, and no reservation is needed.
- By bus
- Coaches between Sarandë and Vlorë set down in Himarë town, about a kilometre below the hotel — a walk of fifteen to twenty minutes, uphill the whole way with a bag.
- By air
- Tirana is the practical arrival airport for the Riviera, about 215 km down the coast — a drive of close to four hours by the road router.

Everything guests ask.
- How far is the beach?
- Spille Beach is an eleven-minute walk downhill through the town, about 950 metres on foot. Allow longer coming back — the hotel sits above Himarë, not on the shore, and the return leg climbs the whole way.
- Is the swimming pool included?
- Yes. The outdoor pool is free to guests and open seasonally, with towels, loungers and umbrellas, and a pool bar beside it. Booking.com's own guest summary puts the pool first among the things visitors rate highly here.
- Is there parking?
- Free private parking on site, with a garage and accessible spaces. No reservation is needed, which is the practical reason many guests choose the hill over the seafront in August.
- What are the check-in and check-out times?
- Check-in runs from 1:00 pm to 11:30 pm. Check-out is from 6:30 am to 10:00 am.
- Do the rooms have a kitchen?
- The Triple Room and the Family Suite have a private kitchen with a refrigerator, kitchenware and a kettle. Every room has a dining area, a desk, a wardrobe, a flat-screen television and a private bathroom with a shower.
- Can I bring a cot or an extra bed?
- No. Cots and extra beds are not available, so a group has to fit the beds a room already has. The Family Suite is the largest at 52 square metres, with a full bed, a bunk bed and a sofa bed.
- Are pets allowed?
- No, pets are not accepted.
- What is the address, and where are the football fields?
- Rruga Himarë, Himara Park, 9425 Himarë. The football field named in the address is the fenced five-a-side pitch about fifty-five metres below the hotel; the town's Petro Ruci stadium is a further six hundred metres down the hill.
