About Us
What we’re about
We’re big fans of sharing the Flores traditional way of living and dedicated to offering traditional accommodation at wallet-friendly prices, and to giving people an opportunity to taste the beauty of traditional Flores food.
Our story
Sten Lodge eco Homestay was founded in 2018 by Liz Flores and Lars Borgudd who created a place to live in the traditional Flores way.
We felt so good living in our jungle paradise. No electricity, no internet and no running water. Every morning a trip down to the small river on the land where taking a morning bath. Solar lamps for light. Organic food from the garden and the neighbours gardens around us. A wonderful experience that we soon felt we had to share with others.
