What guests say
Absolutely incredible stay! From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. Peaceful, surrounded by greenery, and impossibly relaxing.
Magnifique petite maison indépendante, au calme dans un superbe jardin tropical. Le confort et l'accueil étaient parfaits.
Posto incantevole nella natura, mi sono sentita come a casa! Pulito, tranquillo, con un giardino meraviglioso.
La casita Baobab was perfect for my vacation. Walkable to many beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants, & off the main road enough for peaceful rest after daily wanders. Hosts were friendly & super helpful. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay here! 5 min walk from the town/las galeras beach and 15 min to la playita (nicer beach). Host was super communicative and helpful. Exactly like the photos.
It was so peaceful, tranquil, and serene to do work and simply relax. The wifi is excellent too! … The whole team was very kind and helpful during my month long stay.
Excelente lugar y ubicacion, jardin lindo, amplio y agradable, perfecto para familias. La piscina es sin duda, un plus. Ofrece privacidad sin estar aislado.
