Little peace of heaven on earth

I cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful boutique hotel. It's a wonderfully designed oasis overlooking the crystal clear sea and is worth every penny. The service is spot on, the food is delicious and the setting is idyllic. Silvia and Aldo have created somewhere truly special.

Nothing!

Beautiful place, very chic and private. The room was spacious and thoughtfully designed. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We had the most relaxing holidays and will definitely be back.

Rejuvenating and restful

The rooms are fantastic, the breakfast is great, Alan on the staff is very friendly and helpful

Beach access requires beach shoes during low tide, and not really accessible during high tide.

Perfection! Serene place to relax and enjoy. Shh don’t tell anyone!

10.0

Beautiful property built by the architect owner using local materials and styles. It is one of the most serene and relaxing places I’ve ever stayed with a view out over the rock to the sea. The staff were friendly, professional and super helpful without ever being overbearing - it was a luxury hotel that still felt like home! We enjoyed a beautiful walk out over the reef, rockpooling on our way to lunch, and a trip to the local Gede ruins, but we equally enjoyed just relaxing and taking in the calm and beautiful surroundings. And the meals were delicious - lovingly prepared local ingredients with lots of variety.

Nothing negative - just to note that there was AC in our room - although the natural breeze is good, but given the property is set up to be as ecological as possible at night the lower power means it won’t run super cold if you’re looking for that.
