Reviews of Property: Exclusive house on the beach with tropical garden, pool and host-service

The only place to start is the host Richard. Finally is perfect weather, great beaches, awesome food, and gracious people what you are looking for in a vacation? Then Villa Tabuba is the place to vacation. We were lucky enough to be invited as guests and what a spectacular vacation. Thanks Jon & Sandra!
The vacation started with Richard who owns the wonderful home picking us up at the airport. He navigated us to Tabuba and gave us a great start to understanding the culture and our surroundings. He was there to help when the VISA network went down world wide, took us to shop in Forteleza. His only worry was that we all had a great holiday. He takes the worry out of visiting a country for the first time because he really cares about his guests. He created an atmosphere that we were there to relax and he would worry about everything else, and he did! There were four kids under the age of ten and he made sure everywhere we went and did was something the children would enjoy also. He is also great at finding places to visit and eat. Bottom line, Richard is exactly what you want in a host when you are not at your own home. Fred, Grace, Madeleine and George have a real and sincere thank you out to Richard.
Now for the house, it had a nice layout and the floor plan is open with more than enough outdoor seating with hammocks within arms reach, even on the roof! Might I add the views from the roof at night are spectacular and unobstructed. If you like star gazing, he has the set up.
The weather is perfect, 85F during the day and 75F at night every day. The beaches are wide, clean, and a refreshing 80F sea temp. There is always surf and the wind switches off the ocean like clockwork at 11:30PM.
The restaurants and food are all casual and welcoming. Chef Rulio's is the place for pizza and very kid friendly. There are a bunch of really good restaurants around Cabuko which is right down the road. The grilled lobster is must have before you leave. If you want to stay in and cook, the house has a built in BBQ that cooks great steaks!
If you want to go to a great place for vacation and have a host that cares, a wonderful house, consistent and great beach weather; then, a trip to Villa Tabuba is the place to go.
I cannot stress enough that Richard makes going to a new place in the world, enjoyable, relaxing, and a place you most want to go back to again and we will!

Hello,

I stayed at this wonderful oasis for a week and i am very sad that i have already left. With the combination of this beautiful house and the beach right outside the front door, i can only say that this was the best vacation of my life. Richard the owner, is the nicest most hospitable person you will every find on a vacation. If you would like to travel around the area but dont know where you are going then Richard is at your side. He took me to fortaleza which is the closest city and introduced me to the nightlife and the culture yet all i asked him to do was drive me there. He is an amazing person and i will be going back to this mecca every year for the rest of my life. Thank you Richard and thankyou Brazil.

We had a week at Villa Tabuba in December 2008. There was nothing about the villa or the location that we didn't like. The Villa itself was perfect for our family and Ricardo was very kind, and a great host. We loved the area, particularly the beaches and the various bars and restaurants, and we all felt that our week at the Villa was truly magical. We hope to be back to vist the villa and explore the area again in the not too distant future. I would definitely recomend this property and the location to anyone who wants a relaxing and laid back holiday destination.

This villa is situated in one of the most beautiful places on this earth. Every single beauty that can be imagined is sitting here on Villa Tabubas doorstep!! The villa itself is unique, spacious and beautifully designed and decorated. It is a true relaxing and joyous experience to stay there! The biggest cherry on top was the host Richard. He gave us a holiday of a lifetime! Richards’s knowledge, friendliness and kind consideration made us feel like the most welcome people in Brazil! There is no better a holiday and experience as Villa Tabuba and Richard (even including the Maldives and Mauritius!). We will be back!! Thank you Richard :) See you soon!

Wir waren im November 2008 in der Villa Tabuba und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Unseren Vorbewertern können wir uns hinsichtlich der Beschreibung des Domizils voll und ganz anschließen. Der Vermieter ist einzigartig: kompetenter Gastgeber, Ratgeber und Freund.
Leider war die Zeit zu kurz, um die Schönheiten des Nordostens in allen Facetten kennenzulernen. Schließlich ist der Strand vor der Haustür traumhaft und Erholungstage im tropischen Garten am Pool sind ein Muß.
Die Lage der Villa ist idealer Ausgangspunkt für Excursionen in die Umgebung. Wenn man sich erst einmal an die Verkehrsverhältnisse gewöhnt hat, sind herrliche Sandstrände und urige Fischerdörfer gut zu erreichen. Schöne Tagestouren bieten Ausflüge in das Landesinnere und in die Berge, wenn man mal tatsächlich genug vom Strandleben haben sollte. Salvador da Bahia und der Amazonas sind nicht weit.
Für die Einkaufswütigen sind die Shoppingcenter und Läden im nahegelegenen Fortaleza ein Eldorado.
Alles in allem können wir eine Reise nach Tabuba nur empfehlen.
Wir werden auf jeden Fall eines Tages wieder dort zu Gast sein.

Die Ferienwoche in der Villa Tabuba hat uns (3 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) ausgesprochen gut gefallen. Der persönliche Service des Vermieters als Reiseleiter, Chauffeur und Übersetzer ist grossartig. Ich kann diese Destination wärmstens empfehlen.

Wir können uns den Beschreibungen der Vorgänger in jedem Bereich nur anschließen. Richard ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber und und wir hoffen schnell wiederkommen zu können. Wir waren vier Erwachsene und zwei Kinder und haben uns in der Villa Tabuba sehr wohl gefühlt.

<Meine Familie, meine Freunde und ich hatten einen unvergeßlich schönen Aufenthalt in Tabuba.
Den Vermieter der Villa Tabuba lernten wir als hervorragenden Gastgeber und kompetenten Kumpel zugleich kennen. Seine Ausgeglichenheit, Symphatie, Diplomatie, Sprach- und Ortskenntniss trugen viel dazu bei, daß wir alle relaxte und abwechslungsreiche Ferien hatten und daß wir uns sehr wohl fühlten.
Die Villa Tabuba ist in ihrer Bauweise wirklich exclusive (z.B. Grundriß der Suiten sind rund), der Garten wunderschön, das Pool klein aber fein, der ca. 100 m entfernte Hausstrand ein Traum,.. und alles sehr gepflegt. Die Angaben im Inserat sind richtig und auch die Zahlungsabwicklung verlief seriös und unkompliziert.
Ausflugtipps: Salvador de Bahia, ca. zwei Flugstunden von Fortaleza, sehr empfehlenswert, vom ortskundigen Gastgaber bestens organisiert und durchgeführt.
Jericoacoara, ca. fünf - teilweise abenteuerliche Autostunden von Tabuba entfernt, einer der offiziel zehn schönsten Strände der Welt, fast ein Muß.
Alles in Allem bietet das Angebot "Villa Tabuba" ein sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältniss.
Die Flugpreise sind noch relativ hoch. Auch dieses Jahr haben wir die Villa Tabuba gebucht. (Juni 2008)
