Amazing place next to best beach on Island

The location was fantastic, right next to the best beach on the whole Island. Bruno and Lucas looked after us and helped organize boat to ilha. The food was fresh and tasty.

Gombela is a little peace of heaven, in a beautiful, serene and lush environment. Beautiful swimming opportunity nearby.

The view from the terrace was extraordinary. The bungalow was nicely arranged and had a spacious shower. The serenity of the area was exactly what we were looking for.

Most special and quiet place in the South

The staff especially Bruno and Lucas were a real highlight. Attentive, available, and genuinely professional, they made us feel well taken care of. The location and views are absolutely breathtaking, with our favourite sunset of the trip. The meals were deliciously prepared, both breakfast and dinners! We will definitely be back :)

The location close to all beaches is amazing. Bruno was nice and organised also a trip to the island for me quite spontenously. While Breakfast was nice, dinner was good but not the most special one and with 15 euros also a bit pricy. The bungalow is nice.

Perfect stay

Amazing place with beautiful location. The staff is great and food very delicious. The road to get there is a bit difficult but if you have a good car or an arranged transport, no problem. There is limited electricity and only cold water but that didn't bother us at all. The whole experience in this peaceful place was just perfect.

a dream

I had a truly wonderful stay – it was pure happiness from start to finish. I met some truly amazing people who made the experience even more special. The nearby beaches are absolutely stunning – so beautiful they almost don’t seem real. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking, and every meal was a delight. Lucas and Bruno are not only incredible chefs, but also kind and beautiful souls with big hearts. I’m so grateful for the memories and can’t wait to return one day.

Tranquilo

The food was always amazing and so fresh. The lodge was extremely peaceful and in close proximity to some of the nicest beaches of the south. The staff were phenomenal and made my stay that much more special. I ended up extending for an extra three days because I didn’t want to leave! Will be back.
