A great place to stay, no expensive and with good amenities. Also close to probably the best beach of Samara literally 5 minutes by walk. Food is also tasty and staff are pretty kind.

Amazing staff that went above and beyond. The location is 15-20 minute walk from town and the beach, however I loved that as it was quiet and surrounded by nature. The outside space/garden at the hostel was a great vibe - hammocks, art work, fire pit, monkeys, etc. Very chill. Kitchen was also well equipped, and there was a mini grocery store less than a minute walk away.

What a great place to stay in Samara! Everything is new and modern. The apartment was spacious, kitchen fully equipped with everything you would need, bed was comfortable, and the AC worked great. We cooked our own breakfast, and easily walked to town and the beach. The staff is also very helpful. If we ever come back, that's where we're staying.

Great service, amazing location and above and beyond host! - After a perfect vacation at villas tangerine I realized I left a smartwatch charger plugged into the side table lamp (This item is hard to find) the staff not only quickly found and secured it but they also shipped it back to me as quickly as they could! even before that I was extremely happy with the stay they made it even better. They really cared about it! by the way, the breakfast is great! - I truly recommend this place - 2nd time I’ve stayed here 😃 THANK YOU!

    We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

    I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.

    Affordable, spacious room. The pool is ideal for cooling down a bit. Breakfast is good. Access to the kitchen is a big plus. Nice and quiet neighborhood. The ocean is calmer than in other beaches on this peninsula, ideal for smaller children or learning to surf.

    Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price! We would come again!
