How Much Income Can a Villa with a Pool in Borsh Really Bring In?

Let me tell you something upfront:  

If you’re looking at the Albanian Riviera and thinking about buying a villa to rent out, Borsh should be on your radar. Not just because it’s beautiful — everyone says that. But because it quietly outperforms expectations.  

This is not Himara. Not Dhërmi. Not Saranda. It’s Borsh. A place with seven kilometers of uninterrupted beach , where time seems to move slower, the tavernas cook like grandmothers, and somehow, you’re never too far from nature or comfort.  

But let’s get into the real question:  

How much income can you actually expect from a villa with a pool in Borsh?  

A Slow-Burn Destination with Strong Potential  

First, a bit of context. Borsh isn’t (yet) overrun with big hotels or cookie-cutter resorts. That’s its charm — and also your opportunity.  

Over the last few years, I’ve seen a steady stream of Italian, German, and Polish families explore Borsh not just as a summer escape… but as a second home.  

Some of them come for a week and stay for a month. Others return year after year and eventually ask, “Can you help us find something here? Something that feels real?”  

That’s when we usually end up standing in front of a modern 3-bedroom villa with a private pool , a big olive-tree-filled yard, and the sea just down the hill.  

So… How Much Income Are We Talking?  

Let’s get into the numbers.  

A typical 3-bedroom villa in Borsh with a private pool, large garden, and parking — especially if it’s new construction and well-furnished — can comfortably bring in:  

• €300 to €450 per night in high season (July–August)  

• €200–€280 per night in shoulder months (May, June, September)  

• €100–€150 per night in April and October (great for couples or off-season retreats)  

Now, let’s assume you rent it out:  

That’s a realistic annual gross income of €25,000 – €30,000 , and for some higher-end villas, even more. 

One of our clients last year hit over €35,000 with a well-managed villa — thanks to some great reviews, a smart pricing strategy, and, honestly, a beautiful stone patio that guests couldn’t stop posting on Instagram. 

Why a Villa with a Pool Makes the Difference 

Yes, you could buy an apartment. And in places like Saranda or Ksamil, that’s a great option (I mean, just look at some of our seaview apartments in Saranda ). 

But a villa with a private pool in Borsh gives you something that apartments can’t — space and privacy. 

Here’s the thing: families, especially from Northern Europe, don’t just want to be near the beach — they want to have their own space to relax, grill, swim, and not be surrounded by 50 other tourists. That’s what makes these villas so profitable. 

The Local Touch (It Makes a Big Difference) 

Here’s something you might not find in a spreadsheet: 

Travelers love authenticity. And Borsh, for better or worse, hasn’t changed much in the last 20 years. 

The little stone bakery that opens at 6am near the main road? Still there. The family-run taverna halfway up the hill with homemade raki? Still serves lunch under the same old fig tree. These things matter. 

When guests feel like they’re part of something real — not just renting a house, but stepping into a slower way of life — they leave better reviews, they stay longer, they come back. 

What About Management and Upkeep? 

If you’re reading this from Berlin or London or Dubai, you might be wondering — who takes care of the villa when I’m not there? 

Good question. That’s where local partners like us come in. At VivaView, we don’t just sell properties — we live here. We know which plumber actually shows up, which cleaner does hotel-quality service, and how to list your villa in a way that gets booked. Every. Single. Week. 

We also work with photographers, drone operators, and local hosts to give your property that polished-but-authentic vibe.

They’re perched just above the village, with enough elevation for gorgeous sunsets but still within 5 minutes of the beach. The finishes are top-tier: stone details, high-end windows, smart insulation, and gated access for residents only.

They’re selling fast — not just because of the build quality, but because of the earning potential.

Final Thoughts (From Someone Who Actually Lives Here)

Look — I’ve been in this business for over 15 years, and I’ve seen places boom and fade. But Borsh? It’s not trying to be flashy. It’s just growing slowly and steadily, like the olive trees that surround it.

If you’re looking for a property that gives you more than just summer income — one that offers peace, privacy, and a lifestyle people will pay for — this is it.

And sure, Saranda apartments for sale are still a smart move, especially in high-density areas near the promenade.

But if you want to own something unique, something different, a villa with a pool in Borsh might just be your best-kept secret.

Any questions, just reach out. You know where to find us.
