In the middle of a busy little beach town and across the street from the beach. Food was great. Rooms very nice. Hosts wonderful. One... more

Beautiful villas, lovely gardens and all in 'downtown' Samara. Roberto's cooking is fantastic, be sure to stay in for at least one dinner. But the best of all are all the lovely people who work there, it felt more like saying goodbye to friends when we left. more
