Habitación cerca de la playa y sitios históricos

I had four wonderful days in Kamakura, staying with Virgil. The room is excellently equipped and the beds are very comfortable - I haven't slept so well in a long time. The view of the orange trees from the window in the garden is also wonderful.

But the best part of the stay were the excursions with Virgil and the fantastic, very interesting and sophisticated conversations. He is one of the most cultured people I know (and in my work I deal a lot with people who can be described as "cultured"). He is not only extremely knowledgeable about history, art and culture (especially Japanese), but also about classical music. He was also an excellent host and always made sure that I felt completely at home. The breakfast (the orange marmalade made with oranges from the garden is to die for) and his recommendations for day trips and interesting sights in my other stops were also first class.

All in all, I am very glad that I started my stay in Japan (it was my first trip to Japan) with Virgil. It was a fantastic time, but unfortunately much too short. I will definitely come back next time I am in Japan and would highly recommend staying with Virgil in Kamakura to everyone.

Thank you so much Virgilio for such a wonderful, relaxing and beautiful stay. Virgilio is an incredibly interesting, kind, funny and helpful person, who does everything to make your experience comfortable and special. His home is comfortable, convenient and homely, whic h has all you need. This is exactly what I was looking for at this stage of my trip and I am so grateful to have visited. My only regret is that it wasn't longer - I suppose I just must come back!

All the best and my hugs and love to the both you and Peter xx

Regardless of whether you're on a spiritual journey or just sightseeing, Kamakura and the surrounding area are worth a visit.
Virgil and Peter are wonderful hosts. They know every little detail about the history of Kamakura, Japan and East Asia in general, as well how all these pieces are interconnected and are happy to share their knowledge with you. They are humble creatives who find beauty and meaning in many things. My stay was short this time, but I will visit them again and see where this journey called life will have taken all of us by then. I am grateful for every day in this place and their company.

Amazing!
Me and my boyfriend, we spent 3 days 2 nights here.

For the FIRST TIME come to Kamakura, we feel so lucky to know Virgil and Peter:
- They are so lovely and they are the wisest man we have ever met. They literally know everything related to culture, history, and geography about every place in Kamakura. If you need advice or a tour guide, I would highly recommend Peter, he will make your trip more meaningful and interesting ^^
- The hosts are super supportive and friendly, and the breakfast is just as he said on the info ^^

About the homestay:
- It's nicer than the pictures you see on the website, cause they added some more art decoration which makes the room so comfy that we are lazy to go outside!!
- It's beautiful, warm, and clean.
- Location: we basically WALKED to every famous spot in Kamakura, and easy to approach Enoshima and further places.

If you guys looking for a place in Kamakura please come and visit their homestay. It's perfect place for your trip.

Me and Ellinor had such a pleasant stay with Virgil and Peter! They know so much about Kamkura, and they helped us out with tips on where to go. In addition to this they were kind enough to invite us for dinner and it was very nice talking to them about just about anything. They are both very interesting and nice people with a lot of knowledge and many fun life experiences. They also kindly helped us out with our laundry for free. The room was nice and clean like the rest of the house and the location couldn’t have been better. So close to the Enoden line and also walking distance to many attractions. Next time we go to Kamakura we would love to stay here again!

Wir hatten schöne Tage in Kamakura-shi bei Virgilio.
Schon vor unserer Ankunft hat uns Virgilio viele Tipps gegeben, wie wir am besten zu ihm finden.
Wir haben uns dann bei Ihm sehr wohlgefühlt. Es gab ein schönes Frühstück, auf Wunsch auch ein leckeres Abendessen. Wir bekamen viele gute Informationen über die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Kamakura und Tipps für unsere Ausflüge nach Hakone zum Fuji und nach Tokio. Man kann sich keinen freundlicheren und aufmerksameren Gastgeber vorstellen. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.
