Can’t wait to get back to Valza Boutique Hotel and Vlore! Love the location - away from the crowds in town, great sea view from our balcony, short walk down to lovely beach with great restaurant. The breakfasts feature fresh fruit and nice selection of treats, several ways to eat eggs, yogurt, crepes, breads, traditional offerings, cereal, coffee and baristas on hand for special requests (with small charge for those delights). The hotel staff is so thoughtful: one morning we were late for breakfast and the barista remembered i loved the Portokali cake and had set aside the last two pieces, in case they had run out! Everyone extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely strong recommendation. Supermarket just around the corner super convenient. Parking below the hotel. So easy to have a delightful comfortable easy visit to use as your base when visiting beaches, Vlore, Bérat, we swam in the Vjosa (last wild river of Europe!) from Memaliaj where we paid equivalent of $5 for an hour’s use of super comfy bed on a rocky beach of the river, visited old ruins of Ali Pasha’s Palace in Tepelena - just a gorgeous drive there and back! Great place!
