A real treat for waking outdoors and taste buds. Thank you again for everything. Have your eyes closed!

Perfect location for easy reach to different parts of the island. Lovely, peaceful neighbourhood. Large and well equipped kitchen. We experienced few power cuts and constantly weak water pressure which we were told is a general problem all over the island.

I enjoyed Los Abrigos, its not too over commercialised, with a little harbour for local fishing boats. Close to a very pleasant "village square" and a number of local restaurants. A nice coastal walk to the West. A lovely soft black sand beach 2/3 miles to the East at Playa de la Tejita. Generally a nice base.

Beautiful island, nice cosy place to stay, and Greg was a great host, who went out of his way to make sure we enjoy our time there! Thank you again!

So sad to leave, we will definitely be back! This place blew us away TRULY made our honeymoon in Madeira magical. The view is beyond words. The location is perfect if you plan to drive around the island—15 minutes to Funchal, 40 minutes to Fanal Forest, or just 1 minute to a secluded beach below at Faja dos Padres. (Don’t miss this on a sunny day!) We spent our days exploring and then coming back in the evening to cook our meals and relax in the hot tub. Everything was immaculately clean and beautiful, and Christina seemed to think of every single detail to make her guests feel right at home. (The kitchen was well equipped with basics like oil, salt and pepper, sugar to make cooking easy; there was a picnic basket, cooler, and umbrellas to use while adventuring the island; the wood fired grill was awesome.) The thoughtfulness of these details made us feel like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. Except this place was 100 times better. Book it! You won’t regret it.

This picturesque island, surrounded by the Knysna Lagoon, offers tranquil views and a peaceful atmosphere. Nikki’s home is typically elegant and well-maintained, providing comfortable accommodations with modern amenities. The island's safe and quiet environment makes it ideal for families and couples seeking a Overall, Leisure Island in Knysna is a delightful spot for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday.

Beautiful villa on the outskirts of Stonetown, it comfortably fit 10 people (with shared beds) and it’s about a 15 minute drive from town. Host was very helpful, flexible, and responsive. House is beautiful, with direct beach access and a fully equipped kitchen. I would happily stay again and would recommend it to anyone.

This was one of the most beautiful places we went to on our trip to Mozambique. I will definitely come back here with my family and friends as it is one of the most beautiful spots and serene places to be. I highly recommend it to everyone trying to find some peace and a beautiful home away from home.

Wonderful stay at Ann-Sol and Loïc's house which exceeded all our expectations! A real paradise.

It was a spectacular stay, I felt at home, Claudia was super kind and gentle. I enjoyed every day I was in her house, and the order and cleanliness were impeccable.

Penelope was a great host and always was ready to answer any questions we had. The breakfast every morning was tasty and refreshing. The pool water was very nice and the room's views were unbeatable. 100% recommend booking here.

We stayed in Chole Sana for two days. We were greeted by Rajab the owner's brother who was a very nice host. The accommodation overlooks the bay of Chole and the place is very quiet. No worries about electricity. Rajab was very available, showed us around the village and even offered various activities (visit ruins on the island of Juani, lunch on a sand bank...). The diving clubs in the city of Utende that are on Mafia can even pick you up directly on Chole and take you back there. We loved our stay, you can go there without hesitation to enjoy this haven of peace.

An absolute paradise. Comfortable, quiet, relaxing with great food and stunning surroundings.
