Money and payment

The United States uses the US dollar, the currency the villas are quoted in, so there is nothing to convert. Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.

The villas

The collection has four villas: Amahoro (Kibagabaga, eight guests), Urugwiro (Kacyiru, eight), Irebero (Rebero, seven) and Ikaze (Kicukiro, four). There is no lobby and no one else staying: the house is yours.
