We loved staying here with our family, the staff went above and beyond to offer hospitality!

10.0

Such a cute place to stay with family friends. Modern rooms and decor with the added element of Africa. Tasteful neutrals used with small attention to details. They had water available on arrival for us and in the rooms there were basic toiletries and even designated make-up remover towel. It felt like a quaint and curated personal experience, Elne was fabulous. We took a morning safari, and had to miss breakfast (which I informed them), and they set out a basket of breakfast goodies for us to take with us which was very thoughtful and hospitable. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming and allowed us to have a relaxing time. Very clean! Will definitely stay here again.

Both the staff and owner were fantastic. They couldn't do enough to help. The room is fresh and very clean. Everything worked as it should with no signs of damage.

Absolute Empfehlung - toller Aufenthalt

9.0

Sehr schönes Guesthouse und absolut tolle Gastgeberin und freundliches Personal. Sehr ruhig und sicher gelegen. Zimmer großzügig von der Größe und sehr sauber. Frühstück sehr liebevoll und lecker mit einer tollen Auswahl. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt, wir können es nur empfehlen!

Eigentlich nichts, das einzige was man wissen muss als zwei Menschen, die beide sehr groß sind, ist dass die Betten Queensize Betten sind.

Die beste Unterkunft in Santa Lucia.

10.0

Tolle Unterkunft in zentraler Lage. Unglaublich liebe Mitarbeiter und eine tolle Chefin. Super gepflegter Pool und einwandfreie Sauberkeit im ganzen Haus. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Meine Frau hatte Geburtstag und es gab einen kleinen Kuchen und ein bezauberndes Ständchen von den Mitarbeitern. Parkplatz sehr sicher hinter einem Tor geschützt. Wenn Santa Lucia dann hier. ❤️

Alles war total super gepflegt. Herzliche Gastlichkeit.
