“In summary, Vila Arber is a place with enormous potential: quiet, peaceful, with a beautiful view and a nice pool area.”
I recently stayed at Vila Arber, and overall, I would describe it as a place with beautiful views and huge potential. The location up on the hill is peaceful and quiet, far from the crowds in the center, which makes it perfect for those looking to relax. The swimming pool is definitely one of the highlights, and there are always sunbeds available, which is a big plus. That said, there are some areas that clearly need improvement. The rooms are in need of renovation — although, to be fair, when you have a well-organized trip with excursions, you don’t spend much time inside anyway. Another downside is the lack of an elevator, which I understand cannot be solved due to the building structure, but it’s worth noting for anyone with mobility issues. Another thing that could be improved is the pool bar service. Drinks should really be served directly at the pool bar, instead of placing an order with the waiters, who then have to run upstairs to the main bar. This system leads to unnecessary waiting and feels impractical.

“Nice pool, but bathroom needs renovation”
The pool was really good - with a good view and on the side, giving the feeling of privacy. Breakfast was really tasty, although it was every day the same. The view from the hotel restaurant was excellent 👌🏻 We've got a big balcony which is a plus. We had a small fridge in the room 👍🏻

“The place is a little slice of heaven!”
I rate this property as one of the best stays in 40 years of international traveling. The Albanian culture is remarkable and I see a great future for this country.
