Drymades · Dhërmi · Albania

Kept spotless, and kept by the family.

A balcony with a pale aqua glass balustrade looking down over olive gardens and red-roofed houses to the sea and a long island on the horizon

A new house of rooms up in the village above Dhërmi: balconies over the sea or the mountains, a kitchen to share and parking in the courtyard. Guests on Booking.com score the cleanliness 9.8 and the hosts 9.9 out of 10.

A family house

Opened in 2023, and run by the people who built it.

Alexis and the family look after the house themselves. They meet you when you arrive, know the village and the beaches below it, and keep the rooms the way guests keep describing them. Speak to them in Albanian, Greek, English or Spanish.

The rooms
