I could write a whole book about how amazing my stay was here at the guest house!! The atmosphere was amazing, the hospitality unlike anything I have ever experienced 🫶 I was taken care of through and through and looked out for by this family from the second I stepped into their home. Margaita, Tina, Vickey, Thomas, grandma and all their little kiddos were the absolute best and will always hold a special place in my heart! I recommend this to absolutely anyone, I can ensure that you will have the best time and experience of your life with the guest house! I'll be back soon <3

Margarita and her family are not just amazing hosts, but also became beloved friends. The working hours flew by and I just feel blessed that I could spend time in such peaceful place and in the company of such great people. The work itself is about basic housekeeping tasks and there's always someone around to teach and help. There's plenty of time to chill, enjoy the beach and explore the surroundings on the days off. I'll miss my time in Himara and for sure I'll keep this experience in my heart forever 🤍

Tina and her family made me feel so so welcome right away, her meals were amazing and was happy to get you any food u needed from the store.
The work was fair and exactly as expected but goes by really quickly with a short break in between.
I would recommend this experience to anyone who's looking for a chill beach break for a while, himara is so peaceful.
Thank you to the family for making this experience feel like a home away from home :))

Working at the guest house was without a doubt a highlight experience from my life. Tina and her family made me feel instantly and consistently welcomed and a part of the family. The location is less than a 5 minute walk away from the center beach town of Himara, which has plenty of restaurants and bars alongside the water. The beach itself is absolutely stunning, and there are some water based activites, such as boat tours, that are accessible. The work hours were clear and matched up exactly with the WP Description. It quickly became a home away from home, and I could not recommend this more.

It was such a great experience staying at the guest house. I felt very welcomed from the first moment and they do everything to make you feel comfortable. The family was so nice and warm-hearted. I also got to know a lot about local culture. Especially the food was so amazing! On your free days, there is so much to experience in and around Himare and you can go to the beach everyday, as it's just a 5 minute walk away. Volunteering at the guest house is a great opportunity to learn about the local culture, spend time with amazing people, and also enjoy a wonderful vacation. I truly recommend it 💕✨
