The way up is the red line on the card.
The family hands guests a card with a map on it: a red line from Himarë centre on the SH8 to a pin at the house. Here it is again, drawn from the road itself.
Up from the seafront, west along the Livadh road.
From Spile, Himarë's seafront on the SH8, the road climbs out of town and runs west along the hill towards Livadhi. The last stretch to the side gate is a gravel track between dry-stone walls. Free parking is inside, and no reservation is needed for it.

How far is Mihalis Apartments from Livadhi beach?
Livadhi beach is about 360 metres west of the house in a straight line, downhill through the olive groves, and the walk is longer by the road. Spile beach in Himarë town is about 650 metres east, over the hill. The house sits on the slope between the two, above Livadhi.
Do the apartments at Mihalis Apartments have a sea view?
Yes. All four apartment types are let with a balcony and a sea view: the 70 m² Deluxe Apartment, the 60 m² Apartment, the 60 m² Apartment on the ground floor and the 30 m² Penthouse. The house looks west over the bay, which is why sundown is the hour its guests photograph most.
Do the apartments at Mihalis Apartments have a kitchen?
Three of the four do. The Deluxe Apartment and both 60 m² Apartments have a private kitchen with a dining table. The 30 m² Penthouse has a refrigerator and an electric kettle but no kitchen, so it suits two people who eat out in Himarë or at Livadhi.
