La posizione buona, il prezzo accessibile, la struttura tenuta in modo ottimo, lo staff super accogliente e simpatico. Peccato esserci stata solo una notte!
Sono andata per il cous cous festival e questo posto era davvero l'ideale.

The Most beautiful hostel
5.0
This is the most wonderful Hostel i have ever stayed in. Mindful concept, a history behind that house, concious living in a community, caring about our planet, open hearts & minds. Clean, cozy, lovely garden, thoughtfull structured kitchen with basic things like coffee - oil, herbes to cook etc. included. If you ever go to San Vito lo Capo stay there!
There is nothing to complain about Timbuktu Hostel. :)

Marco and his team give off a very welcoming energy and vibe, after having spent a few days here you will not want to leave. the atmosphere makes it easy to connect for everyone. I’ve never seen a kitchen as well organised, clean and professional in any hostel I’ve spent ever spent time in. the artistic details and various paintings give off an enriching charm everyone can benefit from. Timbuktu is not a hostel, it’s a home.

Marco was helpful and friendly right from the start. He really made us feel welcome. He gave us a lot of helpful tips for things to do and places to eat. The room was really nice and the bed very comfy with a beautiful private balcony. The facilities were very nice as well as great cookware! Nice bar area.
The pillow could have been a bit bigger or maybe an extra pillow would be nice.

Great vibes, great people from all over the world.
Perfect to get in touch with other travellers.
It's a little walk down to the beach...but well....not tragic.
Price for a hostel shared bedroom quite elevated but the all over experience is worth it.

The most beautiful hostel I've been to. The atmosphere is like being in a family, the owner and the whole staff is warm and welcoming. The kitchen is spacious and very well furnished, the rooms are cozy, the mattresses and pillows very comfy, bathrooms are big, there is a cute little garden and access to the rooftop. Not to the mention the beautiful murals and artwork that make this place so special.
It's located in a calm area, 10 minutes to the centre walking.
Thank you for wonderful memories!

Very atmospheric and artistic place with a laid-back vibe. I stayed in a private room which was air-conditioned, comfortable and clean. Superbly equipped kitchen, friendly and helpful staff and complimentary tea, coffee and cake for breakfast. Would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone.

The layout of the hostel was so cool. You had a full kitchen. It had everything you needed. Special Shoutout to Lidia the morning clerk, who would always help me w/tips & recommendations. She was super patient w/ everyone & was ALWAYS wiling to help! ALWAYS.
I requested a top Bunk cause im claustrophobic but got a bottom bunk which is very tight and smaller then normal. Had to wait for ppl to leave b4 i could move. the rooms were very small

This place is just magic….
Everything is made and thought with a lot of love.
The people, who work here are just amaziiiiing. They bring so much joy, humanity, fun, profesionalism, know how, life experience, different languages, different skills & so much understanding towards every human being.
I fell in love with this place. And I got so much inspiration from the people and the space.
Yes, San Vito lo Capo has a great nature and great beaches, but I don‘t think I would have ever loved my experience here so much if it wasn‘t for the Hostel and the people + opportunities I met/found here.
Here three examples/experiences I had here:
1. The cleaning lady, does not just clean in the hostel, she brings so much joy in this place. If you are lucky & have your breakfast on an early, quiet morning, you may get to see her dancing while cleaning. I enjoyed those moments so much. Such a great human being. And she takes very very good care about the hostels hygiene. It is such a clean hostel. I looved it.
2. They also have a Team, who is active and makes sure, to take you with them on different tours with the boat or hiking,climbing or also offer some great Yoga, Qi Gong, Vinyasa Workshops etc... And the price is so fair, sometimes even free workshops, like for example the rooftop Vinyasa Session, I guess it has been one of the best workshops I have had in my life. Such a young but experienced trainer, amazing….
3. As you see I could actually write a book about this team and place, but I will close this review by saying: If you are open to new experiences, different point of views, great conversations , sharing your precious time & space with other human beings + have or want to have a good sense of belonging, than this is the place you have to visit. But also, if you feel that you still have some prejudices or open wounds & want to change something in your life or perspective, than I encourage you to take a leap of faith & book your stay here.
I didn‘t like that I haven‘t planned enough time for my staying here. I would have definitely stayed longer.
There is nothing one cannot like here, scusi 😎
