Homestays in Saulkrasti

Wonderful house, beautiful beach, nice doggies and so helpful hostesses!

Good house and terrace, welcoming staff, clean, spacious

On Friday morning, I had the bright idea to take my Latvian girlfriend to the beach. Without giving it any thought, I reserved a room for the night when I noticed how close they were to the sea. We left Riga and drove there right away, taking about an hour. We hurried to the beach after arriving, sunscreen and towels in hand. After basking in the sun for a few hours, we decided to head over to the main street, which is about a 10-minute walk away, because we were craving smoked fish. There, we discovered a place that sells local smoked fish of all kinds, including smoked eel. We returned to our bungalow oasis with our delicacies and drinks, and we dined on our balcony with a view of the lovely garden. They have the biggest jasmine bush I have ever seen, and there are plenty more bushes, ferns, and shrubs to test your botanical knowledge. Find the vinegar tree, if you can! The room was warm and cozy. We weren't expecting to see a TV with many sports and movie channels. Even high-end hotels don't usually have sports channels available. Although we could have used a few more pillows, I thought the bed was comfortable. Similar to windows in America, these windows also have screens on them. We kept the screened windows open at night to enjoy the cool sea breeze, and I didn't even get bit by a mosquito while I was there. The blackout window shades were a real bonus, as it gets light outside at 4:00 AM. The following morning, after putting on my hometown Cleveland Cavaliers hoodie, I made coffee and turned on the TV. I couldn't believe that the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing Orlando! Who could have imagined that I could have breakfast and watch an NBA game? We loved our stay overall, and the room was well worth it. We sat on the balcony for hours on end, taking in the sound of the sea and listening to birds singing in the garden. This is a great spot for a romantic getaway, a family trip to the beach, or a trip to have a barbecue in the garden.

Good service, good place. Recommend to anyone.

Beautifully designed and comfy tiny house. Very clean and well maintained, exactly like in the pictures.

Combination hotel and restaurant. First about the restaurant. This restaurant is directly connected with Villa Gales Hotel. The Staff of the restaurant is very dedicated to their customers and the menu they offer. Special BIG COMPLIMENTS for Paula for the way she treats the customers and the way the gives advice about the menu and drinks. More than pleasant. The fact that Paula speaks fluently English is top. Also BIG COMPLIMENTS for the cook (Paula's Mother). She focusses on the authentic Latvian Kitchen as well as non specific Latvian food. For us we have chosen for the porck ribs. Honestly, best of the best. Paula's Mother creates miracles with food. Not to forget: value for money. From this restaurant it is about 7 minutes driving to the beach of Saulkrasti "Balta Kapa". A must to see. Keep in mind, when you are not far from Saulkrasti, do not waste your time for looking for an restaurant. Saltwater Gales is top and worth a visit. The hotel: Room very big and clean. Bathroom good and clean. Shared kitchen: big and clean. Refrigerator and Freezer: big and clean. 4 Zone electric stove: perfect. A really everything that people need for a longer stay. Watercooker, microwave, dishes, pans, cups and saucers. Really everything including tables and chairs. A last word about hygiene. The last 2 weeks we have been in many hotels twice the price as Villa Gales but for sure not cleaner than this hotel. Half the price as many hotels but same clean as many hotels. Possible ? Yes.

Amazing getaway from busy city. BEAUTIFUL lake and forest view all around. Close to train, but very quiet and peaceful at the same time. Amazing design in tiny cozy space.

Everything was smooth, house was bigger than expected, overall 100%

Amazing view and everybody working there was super nice.

We stayed in Stella, a very nice and quiet place to get away. There's everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom, comfortable rooms and big outside space. We loved the sauna and jacuzzi. Beautiful little lake with things to do. Very nice, friendly and professional owners. Definitely would recommend this place... Thank you.
