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!

O Terraço das Quitandas, situado na deslumbrante Ilha de Moçambique, revelou-se uma verdadeira joia, a pérola do Indico. As instalações exalam charme e elegância, com uma arquitetura que combina perfeitamente com a rica história da ilha. Os quartos são decorados com muito bom gosto, proporcionando um ambiente acolhedor e relaxante. A equipe do Terraço das Quitandas merece elogios pela hospitalidade excepcional. Desde o momento do check-in até a despedida, fomos recebidos com sorrisos calorosos e uma atenção aos detalhes que realmente faz a diferença. O pessoal estava sempre disponível para atender às nossas necessidades, tornando a estadia ainda mais memorável, o cuidado, atenção e dedicação ao nosso filho encheu-nos o coração. A localização do Terraço das Quitandas é simplesmente incomparável. Situado no coração da Ilha de Moçambique, o hotel oferece fácil acesso a pontos turísticos históricos, praias e restaurantes locais. A atmosfera tranquila e a vista mar contribuem para uma experiência autêntica e relaxante. Em resumo, o Terraço das Quitandas é mais do que um hotel; é uma experiência encantadora que combina história, elegância e serviço de qualidade, a estadia foi memorável e certamente voltaremos para explorar mais dessa fascinante ilha neste maravilhoso hotel.

O Terraço das Quitandas é o local perfeito para uma experiência única num ambiente natural de interação com as maravilhas de Moçambique. A localização em frente ao mar permite momentos relaxados e a equipa de funcionários criou sempre a sensação de um apoio simpático e sempre presente quando a minha familia precisou. Mas as experiências memoráveis não se ficam pela localização do Terraço das Quitandas, a decoração cuidada de um bom gosto irrepreensível envolvem-nos no dia-a-dia e as viagens de barco às ilhas circundantes (Sete Paus, Goa, etc) são momentos inesquecíveis de uma viagem às profundezas de uma natureza quase perdida no resto do mundo! Para os amantes de História, a Ilha de Moçambique e o Palácio do Governador que fica mesmo em frente ao Terraço têm episódios magníficos da expansão europeia no período dos descobrimentos, muito particularmente do Império Português. A não perder! Eu espero voltar em breve...

A beautiful place with beautiful people. The House is amazing, with a top wonderful and tasty decorations, the room was stunning and beyond comfortable, warm, and restful. The view of the beach, in front of the house, is beautifully astonishing. The staff is always there for whatever you need, and always with a smile. The owners that we were lucky to meet were marvelous and warm, ready to talk about the history of the past and present of the Island and the amazing local people. They have a boat with a Pilot that you can hire, so you can enjoy the amazing surrounding islands and the beautiful and colorful sea. A place to go back

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.
