Velco BB · Ground floor and up

The building

One house at Potam, doing two jobs. The taverna cooks on the ground floor, the rooms are above it, and the garden and the parking belong to both. Breakfast crosses between them.

Taverna Velco

The taverna is a business in its own right, with its own name over the door and its own trade off the road, and it has a site of its own that covers the kitchen properly. From up here the only thing worth saying is that dinner is a staircase away and breakfast is already included.

Questions

How far is Velco BB Himara from Potami Beach?
340 metres in a straight line from the house to the nearest edge of the beach, and some 24 metres above it, so the walk is downhill and the walk back is not. Potam is the hamlet south-east of Himarë town, and the shore lies below the olive terraces the property looks over.
Is breakfast included at Velco BB Himara?
Yes. Breakfast is included in the rate and is served each morning in the restaurant room on the ground floor of the building, so it is a walk downstairs rather than a walk out.
Is there a restaurant at the property?
Taverna Velco occupies the ground floor of the same building and trades under its own name, cooking Greek food and seafood. It keeps its own pages on the Himarë guide that hosts this site.
Do the rooms have a sea view?
Every room has a private balcony with garden and sea views, and air conditioning; two of the three types carry Sea View in their names. The building stands on the olive terraces above the shore, so the water is seen across the trees rather than from the sand.
Is there parking at Velco BB Himara?
Yes, parking is private, free and on site, which is worth having in July and August when the coast road fills up. There is also a mini-market in the building.
Where exactly is Velco BB Himara?
On Rruga Vangjel Zoto at Potam, the hamlet south-east of Himarë town in Vlorë County, Albania, postcode 9425. That street is the SH8 itself — the coast road — and the building is mapped in OpenStreetMap as way 975801960.
