How it works

Breakfast on the terrace, a long lunch by the pool, dinner for the whole group: a private chef cooks it in the villa, so nobody has to choose a restaurant or drive home after. Tell the concierge about tastes, allergies and dietary preferences, and the menu is built around them.

For a larger group a second or third chef joins, which keeps a table of eight or more relaxed. Please ask in advance: the chef's fee and the groceries are charged separately and quoted before you confirm. The kitchen can also be stocked to your list before you arrive.

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

On request, the concierge arranges groceries stocked before you arrive, a private dinner with wine pairing and a Rwandan cooking class, with the fee confirmed before anything is booked. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

The villas it suits

Irebero is Rebero's villa of wellness: a spa room free to use, a gym, a pool and a rooftop lounge over the city. Irebero sleeps up to seven. Two full kitchens, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and outdoor terrace dining keep the group together over long meals.

Amahoro is a private villa behind its own gate in Kibagabaga, a quiet residential part of Kigali. Evenings move outdoors to the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and end in the cinema room.

Do we share the house with strangers?
