Reviews

  • Incredible location right at the beach. The people onsite were amazing. Taíba is a very small village and there isn't much around while the only thing you need is the beach and the house anyways. What was a surprise to us was the market bordering the house with access to the beach. Music from the locals was present constantly. Communication from the management was good. There was a late night huge market with live music and loud singing on our final night until 1am which was not communicated, which would have been good to know. Overall great stay and wonderful place.

  • We spent a great time in this wonderful beach front villa O. we travelled with our whole family (7 adults and 2 kids of almost 5 years and 8 months). everything necessary was there. Nina the housekeeper cooked wonderful meals and prepared every morning breakfast.

    Airport pick up and drop off was perfectly organized by the hosts with whom I communicated before and during our stay. They answered every question. The beach barbecue with fresh fish which was organized for us was amazing. as well as the buggy ride through the dunes. We enjoyed every minute and we can recommend this villa without hesitation.

  • It is the kind of place you don't want to leave! A place that humbles you with its authenticity and simplicity: the powerful energy of the ocean, the fish freshly caught by the fishermen at sunrise, the kindness of the locals who share their joy of living, the surfing class in front of the house with the locals or surf travellers, the kite-surf session at sunset, the freshly-made Caipirinha with a group of friends in the "dunes", walking on the beach in front of the so charming village of Taiba and the kindness of the people who work in the house.

    The house is simple and very elegantly decorated by the owners, with handmade furniture and colorful woven rugs that add a touch of coziness and comfort. There are plenty of places for reading, meditating, or resting. The added bonus: the tropical garden It's a place where you enjoy each moment with people you love and where you feel free from everything. A place of ideal beauty, peace and happiness. it could be my dream house.
