Reviews of Vila Onhezmi

The location is perfect. Right next to the port and easy to walk and catch a bus to everywhere. The balcony was lovely to sit out on in the morning and evening. Comfortable beds.

Maybe a couple of glasses could be supplied.

a kind and welcoming host who was always helpful and friendly whenever we had questions; for breakfast, you can order à la carte, including coffee or orange juice; stunning view – it didn’t bother us, but it’s worth mentioning that since the accommodation is right by the harbor, ferries from corfu and occasionally cruise ships come and go; the restaurant onhezmi (right below the accommodation) is highly recommended – delicious food at great prices!

Great location - 5 mins walk to beach, town etc. Lovely view across the bay from good size balcony on room.

This place has a lot of very good reviews so I guess we were expecting more. It seems most have scored it on the view (which is great) and not necessarily the quality of the accommodation. It's very basic (even by Albania standards). It's really run as 3 rooms tacked on to their restaurant, with no reception, housekeeping etc. If you don't have high expectations it's still fine.

The location was only a 2 minute walk from the port and around 7/10 minute walk to the main boardwalk. The staff were amazing and very responsive.

– Excellent location: just steps from restaurants, cafés, public transport, and the ferry terminal. – The property has its own restaurant downstairs with beautiful views—which you also get to enjoy from your private balcony if you’re staying there. – The room has air conditioning and a very spacious balcony. – Communication with the host was smooth and easy.

We stayed at Onizami in Sarandé for three nights as a couple, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Miss Sylvia, made us feel completely at home. She welcomed us warmly, checked us in personally, showed us everything we needed, and was available for absolutely anything we asked for during our stay. She manages the restaurant on-site as well — which, by the way, has amazing food — and still takes the time to make sure every guest is comfortable and happy. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming, always smiling and happy to help. We ordered food from the restaurant, and they brought it directly to our room. The food was delicious, and the prices were super affordable. Breakfast every morning was a highlight — for just around 7 euros, we had a full, protein-rich breakfast served with a stunning view over Sarandé. You’re just 100 meters from the port, 20 meters from a beautiful beach, and there’s a market and a rental agency literally next to the building. The location is perfect — central, but quiet — and you can walk easily to the beautiful Corniche and the heart of Sarandé. Sylvia went above and beyond for us — she even helped us with laundry, exchanging money, and gave us advice for everything we needed during our stay. She’s truly one of the kindest, most helpful hosts we’ve ever met. This place is really underrated — no one tells you how good it actually is. But trust me: it is that good. Clean, convenient, friendly, delicious food, amazing prices — everything was perfect. We’re so grateful for our stay, and we’d recommend Onizami to absolutely everyone.

The seating area on the balcony and the view of the harbor really adds the value to this otherwise clean but basic room. Comfortable bed and pillows. A clean kettle and cups!

Can be noisy with cruise ships - have earplugs! Bathroom shower and bathroom could use updating.

It’s a very cute room with a comfy bed. The view is really it to be honest, Stunning. Decent bathroom. Shops and restaurants all close by. You can jump on the town bus to go to ksamil. Even the bus ride is a view. 2 min away from the port if you want to go to Corfu Greece. WiFi is strong also

Just the fact that there was a smell coming from the bed. I’m guessing with people having their shoes on and it touching the bottom sides of the bed so over time a smell comes. Hopefully the sides of the bed can be super cleaned

Lovely views over the water and ferrries/boats coming in and out. Great location. A short walk into the main area, and plenty of cafes, bars and other businesses around

We carry our own coffee for the mornings. There were no coffee cups or kettle in the room, but the lovely owner gave them to us on request.

Nice apartment a few meters far away from the port, shops and restaurants nearby, cheap, nice view from the balcony

That we stayed only one day

The location and the view from the loggia are amazing! especially in the evenings❤️ Incredible sunrises visible from the loggia!

It would be nice to have some glasses in the suite😅

Room right by the port. Perfect for a few nights. Very nice service. Check-in in a few seconds:)

the balcony

bathroom. old, small, toilet was leaking, etc

the location was perfect, just 2 minutes from the port, and also close to the city centre the view from the balcony was wonderful, especially at night great food in the restaurant the breakfast was delicious and we could chose anything we wanted from the breakfast menu comfortable bed

sometimes we had issues with the bathroom, the water in the shower was not flowing away as fast as it should so the bathroom got a bit floded otherwise any issues at all:)

Friendly staff at the restaurant, we got most of the information and help from them. Great view from the balcony, especially in the morning

Bathroom was disappointing, sink was leaking so there was always water on the floor. Overall it should be remodeled to match the room

Location almost at the ferry harbour. The host was very nice and accommodating. The view from the balcony. Suitable and just enough for an overnight stay.

The bathroom would need a major reconstruction as unlike the room, it is old and the toilet stinks. The humidity stays there, too. Noise from the harbour promenade and the pirate boats was overwhelming. We did expect some noise, though, but the party boats, it was just too much.

Fantastic accomodation near the port and was close to many restaurants! The breakfast is fantastic and everyone is very friendly and kind ☺️the balcony is also very nice and the sunsets look wonderful from it! Exceeded expectations

Nothing

Very close to the beach, bus station 10 min walk. 2 min from the ferry port
