A small house, kept by one family
We opened Villa Tonia in 2023, on the lane that climbs from Livadh beach into the olive groves. There are eight rooms, a pool, a garden and a bar under the pergola, and Iro and the family run it themselves.
The rooms are new and quiet, finished in white plaster, walnut and rose linen, with gold-veined marble-look bathrooms. Breakfast comes to your table by the pool or to your room. The beach is a short walk down the hill; Himarë town is a short drive along the coast.
The pool is the middle of the house
An outdoor infinity pool on a deck of crazy-paved limestone, with wooden loungers, hanging chairs, towels for the pool, and the bar a few steps away under the pergola.

What guests ask first
How far is Villa Tonia from Livadh beach?

Does Villa Tonia have a swimming pool?
Yes. The house is built around an outdoor infinity pool with a crazy-paved limestone deck, wooden sun loungers and hanging chairs, and towels for the pool. The bar sits under a white pergola beside it, so the pool is where breakfast, afternoons and evenings tend to happen.
What kind of rooms are there?
There are eight rooms in four types: Deluxe Double rooms over the pool, Deluxe Doubles with a castle view, Deluxe Doubles with a sea view, and Deluxe Triples over the garden. They measure 23 to 25 square metres, and every type has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a private terrace and a tea and coffee maker.
Is breakfast served?
Yes, a continental breakfast is served every day, with pastries, pancakes, cheese, fruit, juice and local specialities. It can be taken by the pool or brought to the room, and room service is available.
How do I get to Villa Tonia from Vlorë airport?
Vlorë International Airport is about 82 kilometres north by road. Drive south on the SH8 coast road over the Llogara pass or through the new tunnel, down through Dhërmi and Vuno, and turn off for Livadh just before Himarë town. The house is on the lane up from Livadh beach, with free private parking on site.
How do I pay, and can I bring a pet?
Payment at the house is in cash only, so bring cash for your stay. Pets are not allowed, the house is non-smoking throughout, and parties are not accepted. Check-in runs from 13:00 to 20:00 and check-out from 08:00 to 11:00.
Is Villa Tonia a whole villa to rent?
No. Despite the name, Villa Tonia Livadh Himare is a small bed and breakfast with eight rooms, six doubles and two triples, run by a local family. Guests book a room, share the pool, garden and terrace, and are looked after by the hosts.
