It is not far from the many restaurants, bars and shops in Durrës and Tirana. In the high season, Mali i Robit is great for families with children because this part of Albania has the large sandy beaches (from Velipojë to Kavajë), lots of beach activities, and shallow water that is safe for swimming. In the shoulder/low season Albania is quiet everywhere except Durrës and Tirana, so if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in a beachfront apartment, a bit of sightseeing, and the added bonus of great shopping and exciting nightlife nearby, Mali i Robit is the perfect place to be. It starts getting quite hot beginning of April, so you can swim in the sea from approximately the end of April to the end of October. The resort attracts a mixture of international and Albanian tourists. GETTING AROUND: Everything is within walking distance, and there are taxis at \'Klajdi\' restaurant (50 m), and shuttle buses to Durrës, Tirana, Berat etc. from the main road (400 m). You can rent a car at the airport or car rental can be organized for you. There is private parking next to the apt. FOOD/SHOPPING: Plenty of food shops close to the apartment + a big supermarket (\"Maxi Market\" - 3 km direction Kavajë). Boutiques, big shopping centers (ex. \"Galaktik\"), restaurants and bars in Durrës are open late. RESTAURANTS: Many restaurants serve delicious fresh inexpensive seafood, traditional Albanian cuisine, pizza ... and dinner can also be delivered directly to you at the beach! :) ALBANIAN MUSIC: \'Ujvara\' open-air dinner/dancing club is in Mali i Robit. \'Kali i Trojan\' 3 km north. CLUBBING: \'Tropikal\' nightclub 5 km north, and there are lots of night clubs in Durrës and Tirana. MEDICAL ATTENTION: Clinic in town + ambulance service direct to Tirana hospital. ______________________________________________________________________________ REVIEWS FROM OTHER RENTAL SITES \"It was amazing!\" Anastasia - Samara, Russia Left on 09/24/2013 for a stay in September 2013 Thank you so much for such a fabulous holiday! We (2 couples from Russia) stayed in this amazing beachfront apartment in September 2013. It is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need (right down to the beach umbrella), it matches the pictures and description on the internet site exactly, and the location (Mali i Robit) is very picturesque! :) I had a lot of contact with Cindy, a very sweet Canadian (Albanian husband) who is ready to answer all your questions any time of the day! Vladimir, Cindy\'s father-in-law, took care of us at the apartment. Despite the name, he does not speak Russian, but he does speak a little Italian. However, do not be afraid of the language barrier, it really isn\'t a problem at all because everyone is so warm and friendly! In general, if you need something, ask someone young - 80% of young albanians speak English. Another suggestion is to write the name of the place you want to go on a piece of paper. If you can drag yourself away from the apartment, it is really easy to visit Durrës. You go to the main road (400 m) and catch any minibus going north! After arriving at the main bus station, you can get a gelato, go for a walk along the waterfront, or check out the famous amphitheater etc. It is also possible to take a bus from the same road to the capital, Tirana. Everything is extremely convenient, it is easy to go anywhere from Mali i Robit. So, if you would like to visit this wonderful country, I highly recommend staying in one of Cindy & Arjol\'s 2 apartments located right on the coast in the center of albania ... believe me, it is such an incredible feeling having your morning coffee at arm\'s length from the sea! :) To be honest, we were so sad when it was time to leave ...

We (family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 children) stayed in arjol and Cindy\'s apartment the last week of august 2013. We really enjoyed our holidays in Mali i Robit! The weather was good all week, the food was delicious, the resort was fun for both adults and children, and best of all - the apartment was right on a huge sandy beach! We were so happy when we arrived, we couldn\'t believe our eyes - the apartment was even better than we had expected! It was quite luxurious: beachfront (you go down the stairs, open the door, walk through a garden, and you are on the beach!), there were lovely beach decorations, duvets on all the beds, professionally-made mosquito screens (they stay up during the day so the seaview isn\'t blocked and then they come down at night so you can sleep with the balcony doors open), superior quality kitchen utensils and dishes, private washing machine, air conditioning, and even a large private balcony that can be accessed from the living room and the bedroom. Terrific value! Almost every evening we went out to a restaurant for fresh seafood. It was so cheap and so good! We also tried a few albanian live music clubs. One evening, we met some nice people, danced and sang all night long, and then we all went to the beach with a bottle of wine and watched the gorgeous sunrise early in the morning. It was a great night that we will never forget! Needless to say, we were all sad when it was time to leave and go back home. A big thanks to arjol, Cindy, and Vladimir for all the time they spent making sure our holiday was unforgettable. See you again next year!

L\'appartement en lui-même est très vaste, bien équipé et également bien situé. Il faut dire que nous étions 3 adultes et 4 enfants. Nous avons pu prendre la plupart de nos repas face à la mer ce qui n\'est pas du tout pour nous déplaire. Il y a beaucoup de restaurants dans les environs qui pratiquent des prix très abordables. Egalement beaucoup de petits supermarchés qui vendent tout le nécessaire, et même le superflux. Sans oublier l\'accueil bien sûr. Nous avons été accueilli de manière très sympathique et très attentionnée. Bref, nous n\'hésiterons pas à y retourner dans les années à venir. Would you recommend this vacation rental to a friend?
