The villas, in order for this stay
Listed by the evening each house can set, Irebero first: spa, hot tub, rooftop, wine bar, fire pit.
First on this page, Irebero, a hillside villa in the Rebero Hills with a pool and hot tub, a spa room, a private gym and a wine bar. Irebero's spa room is free to use; a professional massage therapist is available for a fee. Irebero's wine bar sits near the entrance and becomes a private lounge for the group after dark.
Another house, Urugwiro, a villa in central Kacyiru whose double-height living room becomes a private cinema at night. At Urugwiro Netflix is already signed in, so a film night in the living room with its 100-inch screen starts the moment you sit down. At night the living room becomes a private cinema: a 100-inch screen, with lights that change colour. At Urugwiro the hot tub is outdoors, in the gardens of the gated grounds.
The second address is Amahoro, a duplex villa in Kibagabaga with the feel of a penthouse, a pool and a fire pit for the evenings. Amahoro's fire pit sits in a sunken lounge by the pool, lit after dark. At Amahoro the cinema is a room of its own, the Red Room, with deep sofas and a 100-inch screen. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it.
Ikaze follows: Kicukiro's villa with a canopy-bed principal suite, a balcony and a very large private garden. At Ikaze the living room becomes the Red Room after dark, with Netflix ready on the TV. The principal suite has a king bed under a canopy, a 65-inch screen and a balcony with views.
“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
