What Lalzi Bay is like
The bay follows a long sandy beach with pine forest behind it. At its northern end, Cape of Rodon (Kepi i Rodonit) closes off the bay and gives it a sheltered, self-contained feel.
San Pietro is a residential and resort community within the bay. Compared with the city beaches of Durrës, life here is quieter: the setting is greener, the pace is slower, and the pines and the sea set the tone.
Who property in Gjiri i Lalzit suits
The bay suits buyers who want space and calm rather than city bustle: a summer home for the family, a place for long stays through the year, or a permanent home for those who do not need the city on their doorstep.
If you are thinking of living here all year, visit outside the summer season and ask how the community runs in winter, from maintenance to the services that stay open. If you are buying as an investment, judge each property on its building, its documents and its condition rather than on the general appeal of the bay.
Villas and apartments in San Pietro
Homes in the bay range from apartments to detached villas on their own plots.
Our current listings in San Pietro show that range. One is a detached two-storey villa with its own pool: 240 m² of living space on a 670 m² plot, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a registered title (hipotekë). The other is a fully renovated 1+1 apartment of 74 m² net on the second floor of a building without a lift.
Getting around from Lalzi Bay
The bay lies north of the city of Durrës, with its port and services. Tirana is roughly 35 km from Durrës, and Tirana International Airport (Nënë Tereza, at Rinas) lies between Durrës and the capital.
Because the bay is outside the city, work out how you will reach shops, schools and healthcare before you buy, and look at the access road to the property in different seasons.
What to check when buying in Gjiri i Lalzit
These points are general guidance. Ask a notary or lawyer to confirm them for the property you choose.
- The hipotekë, the ownership certificate registered with ASHK, for the home and, for a villa, for the land as well.
- That no liens or other charges are registered against the property.
- The building’s legal volume and permit, and an occupancy permit if it is a new build.
- For apartments, the floor and the lift, and whether the area quoted is net or gross.
- Whether the home and the complex are built for year-round living or mainly for summer use.
