FranceThe host was great, very easy to communicate with her and the house felt like being home, with all we needed for a few quiet days resting. The neighborhood is very quiet and having the see just at the end of the garden is really great!

PolandThis hotel represents the highest quality. Everything is new and well maintained. The villas are spacious and beautifully designed. Still, what makes it really special is the service and people that take care of you there. Thanks to their approach you can really enjoy the holiday knowing that they will remember not only your name but also your individual needs like for example diet. Here I would like to mention our individual assistant Beno who was the perfect organizer of our stay at this hotel. Thanks to him I feel we used every hour of our stay and tried everything we wanted. I recommend this place to everybody who wants to rest away from the crowds.

SpainThe style is different from any other in Zanzibar, it is nice and all decorated. The breakfast was plentiful, varied and good. The location is perfect, right on the beach and in the streets you can do some shopping. We had dinner every night and the food was good and the price was acceptable. The view from the room was very good: sea view (side view). The room: clean and quality sheets and towels; pillows: comfortable; there was a soap dispenser in the shower and hands; the bathroom: nice. The staff: professional, attentive to customers and friendly. WIFI: excellent

NorwayAbsolutely a lovely place. The garden with magnificent threes, the historical context and a lovely small beach. Nice rooms and very quiet. A bit lagging behind on maintenance but plans for upgrading. However the place is just lovely, and relatively close to Stowntown and airport which makes the location perfect. Felt like home and will definitely come back.
