The units provide views of the mountain and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. A toaster, a fridge and stovetop are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the holiday home, each unit includes bed linen and towels.

Everything was perfect, the host, Xavier was really kind and fully available. The place was great, clean and perfect for a family escape. The pool, the fruit's ree (lemon, grapefruit, etc), the location, 5 min from Samra and Carillo beach, make this place a unavoidable. I'll recommend for sure to anyone, it worth the price (not too expensive, we were the mid November).

Set within 200 metres of Carrillo Beach in Sámara, La Caravana features accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home features family rooms.

La Caravana was a perfect oasis of boutique charm situated directly opposite an idyllic palm lined and quiet beach Playa Carrillo. Kris was the perfect hostess, extremely warm and welcoming and always available to volunteer recommendations for local restaurants or live music etc La Caravana itself is fully equipped with anything you might need. It's perfectly presented with lovely touches, beach throws, outdoor garden shower, hammock, bbq, books etc just to name a few. It's situated a short walk from a few really nice restaurants and a local grocery store and a short drive to the slightly more populated town of Samara and also some great beaches for turtle watching. We really didn't want to leave. I'd highly recommend a visit.

Very nice spot. Very clean bungalow. Kitchen has everthing you need and also very clean. Always hot water, good water pressure. Moskitonets everywhere. Pool and garden very clean and well-kept. The last part of the street very bumpy, but you can do it slowly without a 4x4. Location in the nature, but still close to Sàmara. You need a car to get there. Parking was safe. Very good price! We would come again!

    The hotel restaurant was fantastic and the atmosphere felt like a very calm retreat. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel like family. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and the trail had beautiful trees and monkeys along the way. The loft was roomy, very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. It’s a fantastic hidden gem.
