It was perfect

Absolutely delightful in a great location with all amenities and pool. The host is incredible as is her breakfast which is delicious and includes ingredients from the garden. She’s super lovely and helpful including arranging trips to Kruger and Eswatini

Imelda is wonderful

I booked the small budget room and it was quite comfortable. Imelda was one of the most pleasant hosts I’ve encountered on this trip, and I looked forward to breakfast (and the 15 fruit salad) each morning. Her homemade shortbread cookies that she put in the room each day were also a real treat.

I booked the garden suite and enjoyed sitting by the pool for breakfast and to do some work at the end of the day. The suite came with a full kitchen which I didnt need. I knew this when booing but when I arrived I realized that it might have been better to be in another room without these facilities

great location; Imelda is so responsive and helpful. I like that its not a traditional hotel.

Imalda is one of the best hosts I have ever met. Fresh and delicious breakfast every morning, fabulous!

We just spent one night at Casa Quimera but it was very comfortable and Imelda made us feel right at home! The room is comfortable and cool with a good bathroom and shower, and has everything you need. The location of the house is really good - near lots of restaurants and the steps down to Maputo waterfront, as well as some of the main sites and museums in Maputo. Imelda makes you feel very relaxed and at home, she even offered to call us Yango (taxi), and made us a delicious breakfast with fresh herbs and lemongrass tea she had grown herself!

No complains!

I stayed there for two days and it was fantastic. The host is very caring and dedicated, breakfast was amazing, the garden is beautiful, the bed is comfy... all expectations were met. The area is also very secure and I faced no issues walking around.

great location, quiet place, great staff. pool available, clean rooms, clean bathroom. great breakfasts, which are always fresh and you can agree on the content with the owner. she has her own fresh herbs, so great. I chose the breakfast, which was great in two courses. if you are flying to Maputo, I recommend it. peace and privacy is great there.

It’s a bit difficult to find

Cosy guesthouse, very clean and breakfast was awesome. Imelda will make sure the breakfast is accommodating to your needs.

The breakfast is an experience on its own. Super host and definitely worth staying while you are in Maputo

I had a wonderful stay at Casa Quimera. While I was only staying one night, I felt right at home straight away thanks to the beautiful welcome from Imelda. My room was comfortable and quiet, with all the necessary amenities. Before I left, I had an amazing breakfast including tea straight from the garden! I would highly recommend Casa Quimera to other (solo) travellers. Thank you, Imelda!

I enjoyed my stay at Casa Quimera. Imelda is a fantastic host, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and cozy. The freshly cooked breakfasts were a delight, and the lush greenery adds to the charm. With all essential services just a short walk away, it's the perfect base for exploring the city. Plus, the room is fully equipped for cooking, making it even more convenient. Thank you Imelda :)

The stairs

Great breakfast, fresh herbs from the garden

The shower in the room gave us some problems but the hostess was there interested in the problem and they fix it the very next day, so she is a great problem solver! ;)

The hostess is fantastic and the breakfast is another level! Thanks a lot!!

We liked everything.

We will never forget Imelda's aim to help with everything, and specially her UNFORGETTABLE AND TASTY breakfast. The building is close to the center, in a very safe area (we think most of Maputo is very safe since we walked all the time and people are very kind, even by night), just 10-15 min walk from la Baixa. Bed and pillows are very very very comfortable. Airconditioner works perfectly and wifi is very fast and reliable. We did some excursions (eSwatini, Kruger Park, Inhaca Island) and Imelda prepared our breakfasts very early, sometimes before 5am. She was always smiling and trying to help. Juice, milk, water and bananas were replaced for free every day in our grren room. We loved Maputo, and if someday we will return, we won't hesitate staying here again. We felt like home!!!

Nothing at all, the standard of everything from the room, garden/pool area and breakfast provided were first class.

The breakfast provided by Imelda was simply stunning and home made in the truest sense with the focus on healthy options and a good hot breakfast. All freshly prepared and sets you up for the day

The host is very accommodating and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious! They included a fresh fruit salad, yoghurt,coffee, nuts, a cooked meal with egg of your choice, and my personal favourite; passion fruit juice made on site. I enjoyed this visit entirely, the host made this time extra special through her kind acts and service.
