There is something very special at Casa Terra. From the moment you walk in you can tell the hostel is about the people, from how the owners share their whole selves in adding art and creating spaces for community, to how they are constantly interested and know about their guests and connecting them to the Samara community. The passion of the owners is palpable. The owners are all deeply experienced in hostels; the rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and the people and vibes are immaculate. It is far away from town to feel secluded and make incredible connections in a peaceful environment (people do not feel a need to be on their phones) while still a short walk (10 mins) to enjoy Samara. The sunsets shared as a hostel are wonderful and drive an immediate sense of community too. For those who want peace and community, this is your place. Check out @casaterra.samara if you’re still not convinced! I’m jealous for you!

Everything! Agnes and Pierre are fantastic hosts who cannot do enough for you, and who are warm and friendly without being overly intrusive. Pierre is an amazing baker who filled us with the most delicious fresh bread and pastries each morning whilst Agnes is so lovely and helpful - she even offered to do washing for us. The rooms are really comfortable and well appointed - great showers and the best hotel bed we have ever encountered in all our years of travelling! A two minute walk from a couple of great restaurants.

Fresh homemade excelent breakfast. Jam, bread, yoghurt, etc all made by the hosts in the morning and tasted wonderful. We were lucky and got to have Marcos homemade dinner which was a delightful experience. Wonderful inviting hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and hope we will be back some day!

Xavi the host gave us such a warm welcome to his beautiful spot. A well equipped gorgeous cabin surrounded by a beautiful garden with a pool and laundry. Xavi was very helpful and showed our children the local monkeys. Best bit is that the profits go to the tree charity.

Stunning location right on the beach in a quiet fishing town. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! Nice and clean. Room had a fan and a mosquito net. Amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean 😊 Easy to get over to beautiful playa guiones by car/tuk-tuk/bus/hitch hiking or walk for 25min on road then 30min on beach (lovely walk!) if you’re up for it.

My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

Beautiful room and property. Very well maintained. Strategic location only minutes from a variety of beautiful and diverse beaches. A bit of two worlds: in a neighborhood of countryside feel only minutes from ocean rustic beaches and beach resorts. Very thoughtful and comfortable set up in the room. The separate open kitchenette area allows refrigerating local ripe fresh fruits for example which is something I really appreciate. Kitchen is well equipped to cook meals.

Right on the beach which meant we could maximise the fact we were just there for one night. The room was lovely and the place has a really nice and safe feel about it. We loved the cats! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous! We loved having a big local breakfast with plenty of choice and coffee as well as juice was a treat!

It is so beautiful. The grounds are beautifully maintained without being fussy. The bars and bar staff were excellent and there were plenty of spots to just hang out and enjoy the view of the water. Being on the beachfront was wonderful.
