The travel book Dumont - NZ writes: a Swiss couple has built this little paradise! We absolutely agree with this statement. After 3 nights at Sans Souci Inn, the first with a delicious lamb-fillet dinner, the others with dinners outside but with desserts and coffee/drink at Sans Souci we can conclude: we've felt close to being in paradise! The whole... more

It is not possible to have dinner if you check in after 4pm. Therefore it is not possible for us to have diner on Monday... It's pity because there is quite nothing to have diner in the neighbourhood. Rooms are small, cold and humid. We do not recommend this place. (Not really “sans soucis”) more

We went out of our way to return having had a wonderful stay 4 years previously, the food was still outstanding, but this time the accommodation was disappointing. The ethos of Sans Souci is great and communal eco bathroom much better than it sounds. However bedrooms looked and felt tired and needed a deep clean. A bit of a shame... more

This place is really something special. It is run by a Swiss couple who are really into eco-issues. They built the place themselves from mud-brick i think. The place has a very Mediterranean feel to it. There are a number of rooms that are reasonably priced, and they share bathroom facilities. The toilets are all composting, rather than flush, and... more

We stayed in a self contained family unit surrounding the courtyard. The hotel is made of adobe mudbrick and is a beautiful design. Our apartment was perfectly equipped and very comfortable. Everything is designed with both comfort and eco-friendliness in mind, down to the amazingly clean composting toilet. Beds were futon style and ensured a great nights sleep (something I'm... more

The owners of this Inn stick to their values! They built this place by hand using all earth friendly materials. The rooms are all very simple. I wouldn't quite call them zen-like as I read somewhere, but they are clean and decent. There are low futon beds with bright comforters. There is a central bath house with shared showers and... more
