Good to know

Low-key celebrations are welcome at every villa, as long as the neighbourhood is not disturbed. Rates are in US dollars; you can pay in USD, in Rwandan francs, by mobile money or in crypto. Tell the concierge your dates, the number of guests and the occasion, and the villa is ready when you arrive.

Arranged by your concierge

Add a private chef and groceries stocked before you arrive through the concierge; each comes with a fee quoted before you confirm. Tell the concierge your dates and the size of the group, and the rest follows.
