9.4Verified guest“A wonderful stay at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Santa Marta. The hosts were very welcoming and made me feel at home. One evening I came back from dinner and the host knocked on my door with a glass of red wine – such a thoughtful gesture. The location was ideal, close to everything and a great supermarket, yet quiet. Wi-Fi and AC worked well, and the roof had a nice view. I highly recommend it for the excellent hospitality and pleasant amenities.”
