Das Loft ist traumhaft schön! Alles ist genau wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos zu sehen! Salma und Ahmed sind extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit und immer zu erreichen. Wir empfehlen, ein Golf Cart dazuzubuchen. So ist man rund um die Ihr mobil. Wir haben jede Minute im Loft und auf der Terrasse genossen. Zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. Supermarkt, Apotheke, Restaurants und Shops sind in der Marina zu finden. Ca. 7 Minuten mit dem Golf Cart oder 30 Minuten zu Fuß auf der Strandpromenade. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dieses schöne Loft mieten!!! Es ist einfach PERFEKT für 1 bis 2 Personen. Vielen Dank an Salma und Ahmed!!! Ihr seid wundervolle Hosts!!! See you soon!!!

Salma was a a very responsive and friendly host. The house was clean and free of unnecessary furiture. There was a beautiful and sunny Patio to enjoy the beautiful weather. The furniture was new and simple but some had spots and need deep cleaning. It was great stay however i left my frozen food supply in the freezer by accident to learn after a few hours that it had been discarded. I had hoped she would contact me before making that decision. Especially that there were drinks in the fridge before we arrived from previous guests.

I had a wonderful 7-night stay at this apartment! The place was very clean, spacious, and could easily accommodate four people or more. It’s located in a great area — close to almost everything, including 24-hour restaurants and cafes. The building itself felt very safe and secure. The gates were always locked, there was a security guard on site, and access to the elevator was protected by a code — so not just anyone could enter. That added a lot of comfort and peace of mind during our stay. The host, Mr. Samah, was incredibly kind and helpful. He checked in with us every day to make sure we had everything we needed and that nothing was missing. I highly recommend this apartment and would absolutely stay here again if I return. I’ll definitely tell my friends and family about it. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Petit bout de paradis pour profiter de la plage et surtout du snorkling (raies, poulpes, milles et un poissons..). Le cottage est toute neuf et magnifiquement décoré. Il est idéalement situé à l’écart des resorts et face à une plage magnifique vue sur les montagnes. À proximité, l’école de kite surf et un très bon restaurant libanais pour le soir : « Arabesque ». Il est nécessaire d’avoir une voiture ou mieux de louer une golfette sur place pour profiter du snorkling à la « jetty » (10/15 min de voiture). Amhed est très attentionné et a fait en sorte que notre séjour soit parfait ! Merci pour ce merveilleux séjour, nous reviendrons !

Asolutely loved my stay at the villa, it is a true gem nestled in the stunning Wadi Jebal area of Somabay. Everything about it was perfect - from the spacious livingroom and bedrooms, stunning views that outlook the sea, calmness and serenity, also the modern amenities and furniture used in there. The location is ideal for relaxation and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Ahmed and Salma were fantastic hosts, they even offered me to check-in 1 day earlier if I wanted to since nobody was renting the villa the day before my check-in, which was a fantastic gesture from them, very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend this villa for an unforgettable getaway!

Salma’s place was so gorgeous and it was in pristine condition. The view is so stunning. It is a quiet place so you can chill on the sun-bed and just watch the blue sky. The house is extremely well decorated. Great taste for interior design. They have more stuff in the kitchen than i have at my home to be honest. You can live there like you are in your place. The wifi was not working when i arrived. I contacted the host and a new router box was delivered to my house in an hour. How great that is! Always responsive, always caring. I loved staying in Salma’s place. I would definitely recommend staying there because i will definitely come back!

The studio was amazing, View is phenomenal and the hosts are very responsive. If you need anything they send it to you right away, they really want you to be pleased with your stay. Also ask about renting a golf cart from them its so worth it and their prices are the best. Definitely recommend

It was a beautiful place with a spacious terrace looking up the Mesca beach, well equipped for a comfortable stay. Closest beach is in 10 minutes walking distance, supermarket and Marina is a bit further. Overall a highly recommended spot in Somabay, just make sure you clear up the beach access email to avoid the growing hassle with security in restaurants and beaches outside of Mesca. The host was very responsive and the flexibility with check-out was really helpful. Would gladly come back again! :)
