    This space is a special place for peace, calm and comfort. Federica and her husband exude hospitality. The kind of hospitality that is genuine, sincere and kind. They offer a lovely, calming space for those who enjoy yoga, energy work, nature, beauty and have a reverence for energy use. The yoga shala is among the most beautiful I have experienced in my world travels. Across the street from the front door is a woman owned and operated coffee shop serving up a cup of love to travelers and gives back to the community.

    Clean and amazingly quiet- We particularly appreciated the pool in the magic garden, the complementary yoga classes in the morning and the handmade fresh breakfasts everyday. Federica and Roberto are the perfect hosts, they welcomed us with a much needed early check-in and they dedicated great attention to every single detail. Ask Luca, their son, for a surf class, it will be the best way to complete your stay in Samara.

    Lovely flat close to the beach with swimming pool and yoga shala

    You have to walk close to vegetation and on the swimming pool edge to get to the room, which could be tricky for some. Lots of mosquitos in the outdoor area which made it harder for me to enjoy it as I get bitten a lot, but that's a general problem and not only of this hotel.

    Our flat was really nice, with plenty of space and tastefully decorated. Nice to have both ceiling fans (also in the patio outside) and AC. Nicely working Wi-Fi. Tasty breakfast served on the private patio made of fruit and homemade cookies, porridge or yoghurt. Taking the included yoga class every morning at 7 in the beautiful yoga shala in the garden was the cherry on top. It was just a 5 minutes walk to the beach and the structure is located centrally and close to many supermarkets, restaurants and shops.

    If I was pushed to say anything I found the bed hard but I am a bit bony!

    Everything! The accommodation was superb, clean, spacious and relaxing. Frederika and her husband were great hosts. The pool was lovely, breakfast was delivered and for once it wasn’t rice n beans! ( which of course is nice but fruit, cereal, yogurt and home made cake was a refreshing change) . We attended the yoga class 2 mornings out of 3 which we enjoyed. We cooked 2 nights at home and the kitchen was so well equipped, big fridge freezer too. We saw a family of howlers in the treetops from our window.. fabulous. The town was vibrant, plenty to do and many supermarkets. 3 beaches locally… all tranquil. You must visit!

    Everything was lovely

    The location is excellent and the facilities are relaxing and first class. The early morning Yoga class with Frederica was a lovely way to start the day. Followed by a lovely healthy breakfast to set us up for the days activities. The secure off street parking is a great bonus. Once we arrived we walked every where as the location is very central. The shops, the beach and surrounding activities. In summary a very comfortable stay with a relaxing yoga feel.

    Inner light lodge is an oasis of peace, serenity and harmony located in a central position, very close to the beach and the various restaurants. We loved the silence, the spaciousness of the rooms equipped with all comforts, the veranda where a rich breakfast prepared by the hosts with cake and fruit was served. Last but not least, the possibility of a yoga class in the morning which Federica leads with professionalism and care. Highly recommended

    Really nothing. It's perfect:)

    This place is like an island of peace, harmony and quietness. We found an ideal place for our vacation that makes us want to return there again and stay longer. It is not only about vacation but also about taking a break from routine life and stress. Before coming there I read some reviews saying that you can hear some noise from the busy street but we did not hear that much noise at all. Personally I think for such a great location so close to the beach and all the shops, supermarkets and restaurants, it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. And even after a pouring rain you can walk to the stores and food places, while other locations along the coast tend to get flooded. We loved our private patio with armchairs and hammock, yoga in the morning and delicious and very filling homemade breakfast. Federica makes her own healthy granola, fantastic yogurt, oatmeal and cakes. She finds the best fruit in town. The pineapple and papaya for breakfast were the best that I have ever tried. I have never done yoga before but I enjoyed it and the music so much. She teaches it in a way that you will love it, no matter whether you are a beginner or advanced. The interior of the apartment makes you feel like home. Every detail is well-thought and designed with care, meaning and style. You have everything you need to cook, including blender, instant pot, coffee maker and toaster. I even asked for a juicer and Federica kindly provided us with one! We also felt very safe being there. Everything is super clean including the pool. Whenever you have any questions, Federica is always there to help. And check out the market on Saturday if you have a chance - it has a fabulous atmosphere, great vendors, food and fruit and vegetables.
