Rruga 2 Dhjetori · Spile, Himarë

The deck

Open timber the length of the building, a glass balustrade at the edge, pergolas over part of it and the roofs of Spile below.

UMI sits on Rruga 2 Dhjetori, the pedestrian street that runs through Spile. There is more of the town's eating and drinking along the same few hundred metres — the guide keeps a list of where to eat in Himarë and of the bars and rooftops that stay open late.
