The villas

From Ikaze's two suites for four guests to Amahoro's and Urugwiro's four bedrooms for eight, each villa is booked to one group. Several villas can be booked together for a larger group. If you would search for a luxury villa at home, our villas are booked whole, like one, with daily housekeeping.
