Terraço Das Quitandas Design Accommodation-Al

An 11 of 10! Yes, it can happen! Spent 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 in-room amenities needed (including excellent wifi) while all other measures are 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. Amelia runs a superb ship here too. Both sit 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!

The location close to the port, museum and main tourist attractions, is great. The rooms are clean and spacious and have their individual charm. The roof terrace offers very nice views on the sea, town and the night sky. Together with the entire building this place has real character. However, the main joy for me was the staff: the owner and entire team are extremely helpful and friendly and make you feel as being part of a family. For me it was a really exceptional stay!

The best place in Ilha de. Mozambique. Beautiful property, gorgeous accommodation and superb service. It’s “the Spot” in ilha de Mozambique. Place to revisit every time you want to be connected to nature and sea.

The hotel is beautifully designed and centrally located on the island. The major plus points for the hotel are the friendly and helpful staff, we were greeted and given a tour of the property when we arrived and they were always on hand when needed. The manager assisted us with renting motorbikes for the day and one of her colleagues accompanied us as we went to the beaches on the mainland. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed with antiques. I would say that the Wi-Fi situation was far from ideal. The hotel uses a small portable Wi-Fi dongle that frequently ran out of data and wasn’t particularly strong. When I needed to use the Wi-Fi I ended up going to Cafe Central across the road. So I would not recommend staying here if you had work commitments that required you to be connected to the internet. There were also issues with the card machine used for payment. Also the breakfast was a little basic and could have done with more options such as cereal or granola. However despite this, it is a wonderful characterful hotel which I will recommend to anyone going to Isla.

We want there for a long weekend with some friends and we had a beautiful weekend at Kitandas. We had a lovely weekend due to the location of the hotel, the people who works there is amazing, the owners was there to take care of their clients, the food was amazing. The activities they organized to us was so nice. I really recommend everyone to try Kitandas.

Beautiful place, wonderful staff welcoming, friendly and the food out of this world. Activities were well organised and on times. They made me feel like I was at home. Thank you very much for a fabulous experience. I would recommend this place to all my friends.
