🏡 General
How is AmarCintra organized?
AmarCintra consists of two houses on the same nature-filled property:
-
The Guesthouse: a private, fully independent studio that is exclusively yours during the stay.
-
The Main House: where the host family lives. It includes 3 additional guest rooms that can be made available — upon request — for close friends or family members of the main guest only.
Can I book additional rooms for family or friends?
Yes. If you're traveling with loved ones, you may request up to 3 extra rooms in the main house. These have separate access and include shared use of a rustic wine cellar — perfect for informal meals or quiet moments.
💡Note: These rooms are only made available to guests associated with your booking and are never rented to strangers.
🌿 Privacy & Shared Spaces
Is the pool private?
Yes. The pool and garden area are for the exclusive use of guesthouse guests.
We never host simultaneous bookings, and the property is not shared with other guests during your stay. Your comfort, privacy, and sense of retreat are fully respected.
How do I ensure full privacy during my stay?
All stays at AmarCintra are private by design. Your booking includes exclusive access to the guesthouse and its dedicated outdoor areas.
Some parts of the property remain reserved for the host family — but everything intended for guests is yours to enjoy without interruption.
It’s a peaceful retreat, without the need to rent an entire villa.
