Where you sit

The terrace

Valentino runs from a tiled indoor room straight out onto an awninged terrace on the Himarë front. The beach runs below it, and the Ionian beyond that.

Under the awnings

Retractable awnings and a painted pergola carry the shade; woven rattan lanterns hang from the frame, and the pines along the front stand between the terrace and the water.

The indoor dining room, terracotta tiled floor and timber-beamed ceiling, opening through folding glass onto a lit terrace and the sea — The room, looking out to the terrace

The room behind

Terracotta tile underfoot, timber beams overhead, live-edge tables and rope-weave armchairs. The long glazed front folds back, so the room and the terrace read as one space.

The VALENTINO sign lit above the pergola on the Himarë seafront at night, red letters with white-lit faces, set tables and rope-weave armchairs beneath — The sign, lit, from the pavement

After dark

The sign goes on over the pergola, the string lights come up under it, and the tables outside are laid on the promenade paving.
