The hotel offers a fantastic proximity to the Butrint archaeological site, making it easy to explore the ruins without the crowds. I enjoyed my stay with clean, spacious rooms that provided a lovely view of the lagoon. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. However, my dining experience was less than satisfactory, as the restaurant didn't meet my expectations in both service and food quality.

The hotel has a great location for visiting the Butrint archaeological site, but it's quite a drive to the nearest beaches and restaurants. The rooms are clean and modern, although I faced an issue with the bathroom layout causing slippery floors. The staff was a mixed bag—some were not particularly friendly, but there was one who stood out as very helpful. It’s a decent place to stay for a short visit, but not ideal for a longer holiday.

The hotel is situated near the Butrint archaeological site, offering lovely views and a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. While the outdoor spaces are beautiful and dining options are satisfying, the rooms need significant improvement in maintenance and cleanliness.

The hotel boasts a stunning location right next to the Butrint archaeological site, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The atmosphere is tranquil, and the surrounding gardens are lovely for relaxation. However, the service leaves much to be desired, with staff being less than attentive at times, and the dining experience could use some improvement in organization. Overall, it's a good option for those looking to visit the ruins, but don’t expect top-notch service or dining.
