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 maisonette, 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 sea and surrounding hills. A short drive will bring guests to Pasqyrat Beach near Sarandë at around 12 km, a pebble beach known for its clear water and snorkeling opportunities, and to Mirror Beach (Gjipe area), approximately 26–28 km from Finiq, a quieter pebble cove tucked into dramatic coastal scenery. The striking natural spring Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) in Muzinë, a celebrated natural monument with intensely blue water, is reachable by car from the Finiq area and makes for an unforgettable day trip. Local experiences include savoring fresh seafood specialties, traditional Albanian and Epirus‑influenced dishes in nearby taverns, and sampling local wines and olive oils while soaking up the region’s warm hospitality. An ideal destination for nature lovers and those seeking authentic local experiences all year round.

About the area
Kassiopi, a charming village on the northeastern coast of Corfu, Greece, is a picturesque destination that offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. This former fishing village has transformed into a vibrant holiday spot while retaining its traditional Greek charm.
One of the main attractions in Kassiopi is its stunning harbor, where visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the waterfront, admiring the array of boats and yachts that dot the clear blue waters. The harbor is also lined with a variety of tavernas and cafes, perfect for sampling local Greek cuisine or sipping on a refreshing ouzo as you watch the world go by.
History enthusiasts will appreciate the ruins of the ancient Kassiopi Castle, which dates back to Roman times. The castle's remnants are perched on a hill above the village, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and the Albanian coast. Exploring these ruins is not only a journey through history but also provides an opportunity for some stunning photography.
