La villa si trova nel centro di un tipico villaggio zanzibarino a pochi passi dalla spiaggia, dove possiede un’area privata attrezzata con lettini. La camera è ampia, confortevole, pulita, dotata di aria condizionata, ventilatore a soffitto e numerose prese (anche vicino al letto). È disponibile una cucina attrezzata comune a tre stanze. Il personale é straordinariamente disponibile e gentile. La direttrice Tahla e suo padre Idrissa si sono sempre dimostrati pronti a soddisfare qualsiasi mia esigenza, con entusiasmo e premura. Il transfer privato è stato puntuale e ben organizzato. Consiglio a tutti questa struttura per l’atmosfera familiare, la cortesia, l’efficienza e la tranquillità che si respira. Grazie di cuore a Tahla e Idrissa per lo splendido soggiorno!
