Yes, the villa looks very impressive at the first glance, but that is where it ends. We were there second week in September on the weekend and it was empty! Yet , the city , Durres , was bustling with tourists , restaurants were full, beaches and sea promenade were packed. That is the first indication to us how popular the villa is. Regarding accommodations , yes ,rooms are good size, walk in shower, bath robes, his and her sinks, fancy painted ceilings. Air conditioning in the room is pre set at 23C , and you cant adjust it either way, contrary to the list of available services in the room that states AC can be adjusted 3 degrees up or down. The same list indicates that the Jaguar service is available for guests transfer to town and back. no it is not!|The main restaurant has very limited food choices, basically pasta and risotto, all fresh fish choices are limited to Mediterranean sea-bass. The two gorgeous pools are not heated, the pool restaurant across the street serves pizza and a few salads. The wine choices are limited to entry level italian white wines and high end red Barolos.| Villa does have private parking, which is a big plus, yet no one helps with the luggage, which you need to carry across the pool to side entrance via a restaurant with a few stairs along the way. Overall , the pompous villa has little conveniences for the guests.|And the location is a good 30 min drive in traffic to closest public beach and about the same to centre of Durres.
