Outdoors, guests can enjoy the private pool, lush garden, terrace, loungers, chairs, and outdoor dining area. Free private parking and high-speed Wi-Fi are available throughout the property.



The Neighborhood:

The property is located in the heart of Finiq, a village in southern Albania surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, with the Ionian Sea about 8 km away by road from the village center. Within Finiq itself, guests can easily explore the ancient archaeological remains of Phoenice Archaeological Park, just minutes from the maisonettes, where Hellenistic ruins and a theater offer a fascinating glimpse into the area’s past.



About 11 km from Finiq lies Sarandë Beach, a sandy and lively shoreline with panoramic views of the bay, while Lëkurësi Castle, also roughly 11–12 km away, overlooks Sarandë and provides sweeping vistas of the sea and surrounding hills. A short drive brings guests to Pasqyrat Beach near Sarandë (around 12 km), known for its crystal-clear waters and snorkeling, and to Mirror Beach (Gjipe area), approximately 26–28 km away, a quieter pebble cove set in dramatic coastal scenery.



The famous Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) natural spring in Muzinë is also easily reachable by car and makes for an unforgettable day trip. Local experiences include enjoying fresh seafood, traditional Albanian and Epirus-influenced cuisine, and sampling local wines and olive oils while experiencing the region’s warm hospitality.



Getting Around:

Guests can easily reach the property by car or taxi. The Port of Sarandë, approximately 11 km away, offers ferry connections to Corfu and other coastal destinations. The closest international airport is Corfu International Airport (CFU), about 3–4 km from Corfu Port. From there, guests can take a ferry to Sarandë (30–40 minutes) and then drive approximately 11 km to Finiq.



Alternatively, Tirana International Airport (TIA) is about 280 km away by road. Free private parking is available on-site, making it easy to explore the area by car.
