The house

White render, blue balconies, and the pitch across the road

Ionian Seaview is a building of self-catering apartments in Himarë's lower town. Each apartment is let whole, with its own front door, kitchen and bathroom, and parking for guests on site is free. The host speaks English and Italian, and check-in is arranged privately rather than across a hotel desk.
