Sambatra Bed and Breakfast

I stayed in this B&B for 15 days for our honeymoon. What can I say. As far as our type of vacation is concerned, for us it was almost perfect in every way. The accommodation is cleaned every morning (which is absolutely not a given) Very spacious bathroom and bed with mosquito nets, not even a single mosquito bit us even though it was more humid at night because it was raining... a sea view awaits you just a stone's throw away with breathtaking sunsets every evening. The owners Elisabetta and Jun are two exquisite people, together with Valerio they made us feel at home from day one, welcoming us with great enthusiasm. They were always ready to give us some advice, which was very useful in making our trip even more beautiful and completely safe. Then there is Roky, a Madagascan boy who stole our hearts. With a unique sweetness and friendliness... he never fails to smile! A great strong point is certainly also the cuisine... unforgettable. Everything fresh, prepared at the moment (jams, gnocchi, fruit juice, rum), a never banal menu! The raw fish is a gem.. What can I say? We were looking for a place far from the usual all-inclusive resorts where you can't breathe the local air.. and if you want this type of vacation too, this is the right place! PS. Those who love animals like us will be surrounded by incredible unconditional love thanks to the presence of their big dogs.. Penelope stole our hearts, present from the morning when we woke up until the evening when she accompanied us to sleep. Alice and Pasquale

I spent a month at Sambatra with my partner and my son. The property is in Ambaro in the center of Nosy Be and is perfect for organizing boat trips to visit the various islands, as well as behind the main road so very convenient for moving by taxi or tuc tuc to the various villages, beaches and places of interest on the island. In addition, it is located on the beach so perfect for relaxing watching the beautiful sunsets drinking a beer or swimming. The rooms are always clean and the restaurant is excellent and you can eat at any time of day at honest prices, and enjoy the breakfast included in the morning looking at the sea. The most special thing are Jan and Elisabetta with their kind, friendly and always available to chat and help their guests with any type of information and need, such as organizing tours, taxis or putting you in touch with locals to find everything you need. After a month together at the hotel I can say that a friendship has been created and my son was super happy to stay there with Jan (now his friend) and the local children on the beach playing while mom and dad could relax on the hotel loungers. The prices are very affordable compared to more touristy resorts and hotels in the area. I highly recommend staying at Sambatra for everything it offers and for where it is located, also because it feels like home. 5 stars! Stefano, Erika and Nicoló

Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo avuto il piacere di alloggiare presso il Sambatra, un posto meraviglioso dove la sera si può godere di un tramonto indimenticabile e la mattina svegliarsi con il rumore delle onde. La cucina è ottima e la materia prima utilizzata è di prima scelta. Gli alloggi sono molto accoglienti, molto puliti e ben curati nell'arredamento. Per tutto il tempo in questo piccolo angolo di paradiso ci siamo sentiti come a casa, qui abbiamo avuto la fortuna di conoscere il propietario, Jan, che da subito ci ha accolti come fossimo degli amici, e con il quale abbiamo piacevolmente trascorso qualche serata. Molto spesso si confonde il viaggiare con il visitare, ma il viaggio è fatto anche delle persone che si incontrano e in questo caso possiamo dire che è stato un viaggio meraviglioso. Speriamo di aver presto l'occasione di tornare.
