We planned a six day visit to 'rest' after a month of intense travel - but left after two days. Most of our disappointment was with Sarande itself - a very poorly developed resort town, with buildings on top of one another, rocky local beaches, a shocking amount of litter Everywhere, and a generally exhausted air to everyone we met there. Neither restful nor beautiful. We hightailed it back to Corfu and unfortunately had to 'eat' about $800 in hotel expenses we couldn't get reimbursed. The hotel itself is a very pretty property, with very nice rooms and surroundings. The manager on duty was excellent, addressing a couple of minor complaints immediately, and following up with us several times. The pool is beautiful. The season felt 'finished,' however, by mid-October, and even though it was beautiful weather there were no beach chairs set up, the beach bar was closed, etc. Also .... a friend booked and paid for a room there to join us, and 30 minutes later I told her we were leaving - yet she couldn't get a refund. Hotels blame Expedia but this is false - they can easily refund bookings, and they should have in this case.

One of the easiest 5 stars I’ve had to give. Incredible location, fantastic staff. The suite is an exceptional option, didn’t want to leave my room.

Room was very dirty for the price. The beach and pool were nice however.

Quiet and in a great location. Easily walkable from the port and main promenade. Lots of nice restaurants within walking distance. The front desk was friendly during the day but gruff at night. Not always around either. The seaside was very nice with beach chairs. Breakfast was fine. I have a feeling there’s not many better options in saranda. My room was big and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea but the decor was very austere - again probably more reflective of the place than the hotel. I was traveling alone and there was no bolt on the door just the electronic key lock, so I’d suggest taking your own lock just in case.

Beautiful hotel near the water

Beautiful place to enjoy vacation with family and friends. Very clean and quite resort. Amazing front beach area and pool.

Had a great stay.Lovely hotel.Excellent views all around.The owners seem to really care about their guests.

The hotel location is great, it's only few minutes walk from the port. Hotel has its own private beach and also very nice pool. It's right on the beach so there are plenty of restaurants and shops to visit. Very clean and nicely decorated.

A lovely hotel in the quieter part of Sarande (all relative!). Cleanliness excellent- great rooms and indeed views. Lovely pool area. Breakfast was very good too.

Wonderful property!!! Great service all around. Iona at the front desk was incredibly helpful - especially when a personal issue had us extending our stay for an extra night. STRONGLY recommend this lovely hotel!

Everything was amazing apart from the breakfast which left a lot to be desired. Not much choice and much of the pastries and bread were stale. The fruit was over ripe

Location was perfect, personal beach right across the property. Staff were nice and friendly.

Just returned from an amazing break at Vila Kalcuni. This is a beautiful hotel, located in a lovely part of town, only a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal, bars, restaurants and shops. It’s positioned on a private beach with stunning views of the bay. Vila Kalcuni is a real retreat set in lovely surroundings. The pool and bar area is very new and is immaculate. In fact the entire hotel is spotless and extremely well maintained. Probably one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed at ! The room was very comfortable with amazing views from the balcony. Breakfast was very good, fresh and plentiful and is served in a lovely restaurant. The manager and staff team are so friendly and welcoming, they work tirelessly and want to ensure that your stay is going well. Would fully recommend staying here and can’t wait to return.

Great view. Decent room. Super walkable. Not what I'd expect from a 4* hotel, but OK. The only issue was the receptionist. The only way to reach her was via email. Somehow, she made things that should be simple (finding the bus, ordered a taxi) more complicated than they should be. She was by turns unhelpful and unresponsive. Not a terrible stay, but I also would not go back there.

My wife and I had a lovely time at the Villa. The property is beautiful - it faces the sea directly. Our room came with a spacious balcony and in suite bath and jacuzzi as well. The staff at the property took great care of us and accommodated my dietary preferences as well. They recommended some great restaurants to visit as well as connected us to a very reasonable tours and travels company for tours to Ksamil and Blue Eye. Cannot recommend this villa enough if you are looking for a tranquil romantic getaway within Sarande. Will visit again!

Great location. Beautiful views. Breakfsst was amazing. Thank you

Nice hotel, get a room facing the sea. Breakfast was only ok. Pool area is nice but not heated. We had one day of no hot water. Great location, pebbling beach with free loungers. I would stay again.

Property was extremely modern and absolutely spotless. No tea or coffee in room. Bring your own beach towels. Breakfast could have been better. Stoney beach - beach shoes a must.

We really loved our stay here. The room was lovely and our balcony was fabulous. Gorgeous views of the sea and sarande, loved the location and the African beach bar next door.

Brilliant stay - exactly what we were looking for. Free private beach and swimming pool is a game changer in this area. Staff always on hand to help and support: Breakfast not my favourite personally but that was ok! Great view from the balcony and close proximity to area with lots of bars and places to eat.
