A few words from the family
We're a family running this guesthouse together — three generations under one roof. The kitchen wakes up before sunrise, breakfast is whatever the garden gave us this week, and dinner is shared at one long table if you'd like. We'll show you the back lanes, the best market stall, and the swimming spot the tour guides don't know about.
I grew up in this house. Now my parents help with breakfast, my brother runs the garden, and our kids learn English from guests. Tell us what you want to see in Timor — we probably have a cousin nearby.

The neighborhood
We're a five-minute walk from the morning market — it opens at 5:30 and the best produce is gone by eight. The bakery on the corner does fresh pão until ten. The microlet stop is two minutes away; for the beach it's a twenty-minute scooter ride and we can arrange one. Sunset from the headland is a thirty-minute walk and worth every step.
