莫桑比克岛的旅馆

MARK 美国

All! I spent a total of 5 wonderful days within the gracious company of Isabel y Manuel. If the adage that people make a place it is relevant here while the place is an extraordinary one. It is essentially a very large mansion albeit with separate rooms within dedicated quarters adorned with just the right mix of old Mozambican and Indian Ocean curious collected and walled pastels. It is intimate yet serves up large open laze-about spaces. Carefully and passionately recovered from entire ruins this 200 years-old wealthy, merchant-trader's home has all the amenities needed (including excellent wifi) while is very much antiquity preserved. Add perched seating on the upper deck-roof or in the garden to welcome in sundown at the waterfront with a bottle of wine or other. Next door at 'Las Reliquias' with its like-waterfront seating you also have the best restaurant in Stonetown, bar none. The lodging sits within the shortest possible walk past the customs house, to the museum, cathedral, pier, and the fort. Within mere minutes on a casual stroll you also have all of Stonetown's colonial past. Add traditional boat trips to various historically important islands, boarded within a short walk across the front garden to the beach... Transfers from the airport are arranged and reasonably priced. I loved all!
