Alessio

We've traveled a lot in our lives, but this vacation will stay with us forever. ♥️ Staying at LUALA ⛵️was an UNFORGETTABLE experience to say the least. Regardless of the fact that the SAN BLAS Islands are a wonderful place, 🤩 the real surprise was finding a beautiful boat with two unsurpassed hosts. I don't know where to start, whether with the boat or the food. 🍝 For us it was not the first experience on a sailboat, but we have never found such a LARGE, cozy and clean cabin, even with an attached private bathroom. LUALA is equipped with all comforts, indoor and outdoor hot shower, fast internet, snorkeling, kayak, sup equipment, and two very comfortable hammocks to admire the sunset. The food, as mentioned, was another strong point, they cooked things unthinkable to see on a boat such as fresh bread every day, lobsters, fish, pizza 🍕 (WOW😋) and other Italian dishes. Susy and Alessio, we will always remember you!

Susy and Ale are the hosts you'd want to find when booking a few nights aboard a sailboat halfway around the world. The San Blas Islands are one of the few remaining paradises, and exploring them by sailboat with those who know them as if they were "home" is a journey within a journey. Susy and Ale are always smiling, they welcomed us aboard Luala in a warm way but leaving us all the privacy possible. Our cabin was spacious and we had our own bathroom. Despite the short time we managed to enjoy the two days to the fullest, we did a short sailing trip and had fun with the canoe and the sup. What we wouldn't have expected on a boat in such a remote place is to eat so well: the food cooked by Susy and Ale was a continuous treat! Fresh bread every day and dessert at every dinner! I really don't think there would have been a better way to visit these places and understand their true soul. Thanks Susy! Thanks Ale!

We spent unforgettable days on Luala Susy and Alessio's boat in a paradise that is difficult to find in our times. We didn't think we had such a cozy cabin with a large bed and even the attached private bathroom. We were spoiled with many good typical dishes with Italian style, prepared with fresh and local ingredients (lobster freshly caught 🦞fish 🎣and tropical fruit). They pampered us in so many ways by offering us various activities, snorkeling, canoeing, sup. We changed the island every 🏝️day more beautiful than the 🤩other, (discovering then, talking to other tourists) that not all the other boats do. What we really appreciated was their privacy, leaving us free to experience the boat. They are a great couple 🧡 and know how to create an incredible atmosphere of well-being. Therefore, we can only recommend this beautiful vacation.

Thanks to Susy and Alessio for making us experience a truly special vacation aboard their boat Luala. A clean boat with a comfortable, large cabin and an en-suite bathroom. We were able to eat the typical Italian cuisine very carefully, with fresh bread always prepared every day, which on a boat is not easy to find. We had fun with their water games, kayaks, scuba diving, masks and fins. All we can say is THANK YOU!!! ♥️

We had a dream vacation on Luala and this is thanks to Susy and Alessio. The boat was very clean and we didn't think we'd be staying in such a large cabin with a very comfortable bed and a private bathroom. They were fantastic and thoughtful hosts, they made sure we had everything, but at the same time they were very discreet. It's amazing how they managed to cook such good dishes, it felt like we were in an Italian restaurant every day. Fresh bread was served at every meal, the best we've ever eaten. The San Blas Islands are a wonderful place and Captain Alessio took us to the most beautiful islands. We had kayaks and sup as well as masks and fins for snorkeling at our disposal. We could never thank them enough for making us live this experience.

Staying aboard Alessio and Susie's sailboat in the San Blas Islands was an absolute delight. The breathtaking surroundings provided an unforgettable backdrop for our getaway. Alessio and Susie's meticulous attention to detail and warm hospitality truly enhanced our experience. We were consistently impressed by the delicious Italian cuisine they prepared in their compact onboard kitchen.. expect amazing food and lotsa carbs 😀 Our overall experience was fantastic, and we wholeheartedly recommend this unique Airbnb experience to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat on the water.

Alessio and Susy were very sweet. The food is Italian and made fresh and the vibe was very low-key. I'd do it again.

We had the most beautiful time on the boat Luala in San Blas. Susy & Alessio are excellent hosts. The stay was perfect. Super food, super cozy boat, super hospitality and many wonderful islands with fantastic sandy beaches. Have a memorable time!

Alessio and Suzy are such lovely people, they took care of us as if we were their family. The San Blas Archipelago and the sailboat are a dream, we would have loved to spend many more days there.

Such a lovely few days with Alessio and Suzy. Thanks for sharing a little bit of paradise and the sailing life with us. Home cooked Italian meals and fresh baked bread a major plus!

Staying with Alessio and Susy on the LUALA was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. Words alone cannot describe how awesome this trip was. All the reviews are spot on true. They are wonderful hosts and cooked the most delicious food.....and it was a lot. They cooked everything- Italian food, fresh bread, deserts, breakfast, seafood, and more. We went to the most beautiful islands and swam, snorkeled, explored, and met amazing Kuna people. Again, words alone can't begin to describe this experience. It was mesmerizing and unforgettable. We were so blessed to be able live this.They have a kayak, paddle board, snorkeling gear, and anything you need to make San Blas an unforgettable trip. Their kindness will never be forgotten and they are now family; I cried when we left them. Alessio and Susy, we will always remember you and we cherished our time together. All I can say is THANK YOU and we LOVE you guys. Until next time dear friends, arrivederci! Sailing Luala=Paradise♥🤟

Amazing experience! Food is great, and we felt immediately welcomed. Alessio and Susi are amazing hosts, and we had a lot of fun discovering San Blas with them. We stayed for two nights and would recommend staying longer since the ride from Panama City is around 7 hours, and on the last day, they pick you up around 6 am. Meaning that two nights sum up to only one day effectively.

I guess I’ll start by saying that 5 stars doesn’t even come close to our experience with Alessio and Susy. After dozens of AirBnB stays, we’re going to need to re-calibrate our star rankings. We’ve stayed with some amazing hosts, but this trip was an order of magnitude better than anyplace we’ve been - AirBnb, all-Inclusive… We can’t think of any other trip we’ve taken that even comes close. Our primary reason for coming was to experience the San Blas from a sailboat; otherwise, we had no expectations. We were blown away!! They treated us like royalty - so attentive to every need. We had our own personal chefs, boat captain and crew, chauffeur, maid, and concierge all rolled into Allesio and Susy. Other reviews have talked about the food. It’s spectacular!! And, it’s prepared in a tiny sailboat galley. You won’t walk away hungry. 6 days, and we wanted more. 10 stars wouldn’t be enough!! They are a great team - kind, humble, and very welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book a week or more.

We spent three nights in paradise on Alessio and Suzy’s boat and we wished we could have stayed longer ! It is a truly unique experience where you get to enjoy beautiful tranquility, with access to kayak, paddle boards and snorkelling equipment to explore the islands and the surrounding area ! The boat itself is a great place to stay and we felt completely at home. Alessio and Suzy were amazing hosts and went out of their way to make this a special experience. To top it off the food, including freshly made bread, pizzas and gnocchi was always superb! We are hoping that we will have the opportunity to visit again. If I could give more than five stars I would.

Alessio and Suzi are delightful, capable, organized, gracious.....everything you want in a host. They took us to one paradise after another. 3 days of bliss. The boat was very clean, and the food was delicious. The shower after a long hot day was surprisingly satisfying! We had plenty of time alone, but also welcomed their good company. This was an experience that we will never ever forget. We are soooooo glad we had this experience.
