Our small homestay SanteSante (meaning relax, or take it easy) is situated directly at the beach. You will wake up with the sound of the small waves and you can enjoy your breakfast at the beach.
Our restaurant and the bungalow is all simple and self-built with a lot of love to detail and design. The bathroom is attached to the bungalow and you can watch the stars when taking a shower in the eveneing since it has no roof.
Maumere is about 30km away, but there is more to do around here anywere. We can be your perfect basecamp to climb Egon Volcano, to go diving and see unique underwater life as well as an japanese shipwreck just before our doorsteps. You can go on a trip to the hotsprings and take a wellness-day there, and if you are more adventurous you can go and climb up to the refresh...Our small homestay SanteSante (meaning relax, or take it easy) is situated directly at the beach.

From here we can also arrange any custom tour around Flores that you can think of.

After a long roadtrip, we wanted to just relax. This strip of beach is about 30 km east of Maumere. My advice: drive right past Maumere, do not stop, get to this place.
We stayed for four nights and I want to go back. Katrin...More

Staying with Katharina, Marleno and their lovely daughter for 4 nights was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Indonesia! Their small but lovely place comes close to paradise and they can always provide you with delicious food, scooters, snorkeling trips and equipment...More
Staying at Sante Sante was very relaxing. Marleno is funny, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful and he will treat you like his family. I only tried their curry which was absolutely fantastic! The dive shop is only 10min walk away and the diving is superb....More
Very bad experience with Marleno, the owner of Sante Sante: I contacted him 2 months before our arrival in flores for an overland flores tour for 5 persons, he told me that everything was organized but once in Maumere we discovered that nothing was organized:...More

We stayed at Sante Sante for three nights and were made to feel welcome right from the start. On arrival at Maumere airport, it was straight forward to book a taxi, as the drivers know where the Homestay is. Katrin and Marleno kept us well...More
We extended our stay for another night because of its calm beach and amazing sunset spot right in front of our tent.
Katrin, Marleno, Dara (their 4 mo baby) and Memo (their dog) are warm hosts and helpful.
They have only 1 room and a...More
My stay in SanteSante was absolutely great. The homestay is direct located at the beach and the room is clean and comfortable.
Big thanks to Kathrin and Marleno, who runs this sweet place near Maumere. It's definitely worth to visit. I didn't felt like to...More
The neighbourhood is basically the beach. We are outside of the village, just next to some other cottages along the bay.
If you are grieving for cigarettes or chocolate, take a five minutes walk along the beach for the next Kios.
All in all it is a very quiet place ... You won't find bars or a variation of shops ...
Getting around
Public transport is the Bemos - Minibuses. You can stop them right in front of our place. Easy.
Also the Buses to the West drive by our place, you can easily catch them here.
If you need transportation around Flores Island Marleno can organise a car for you or even set up a custom trip.
We also rent out our (manual) motorbike or can organise an automatic one.
