Why pets are welcome

Travelling with a dog is easier when the house is yours alone. Every villa is booked to one group at a time and stands behind its own gate, so a pet has the garden to itself and meets no strangers on the way to it. All four villas welcome pets: mention yours in the inquiry, so the house is ready when you arrive.

The gardens differ, and so does the size of the group. Urugwiro stands on 2,000 m² of gated, landscaped grounds in Kacyiru, Irebero in 1,000 m² of tropical gardens in the Rebero Hills, and Ikaze, in Niboye, has a very large garden of its own with a shaded patio. Amahoro, in Kibagabaga, welcomes one pet. Amahoro and Urugwiro sleep eight, Irebero seven and Ikaze four, so the house can follow the group rather than the other way round.

Good to know

Pets are welcome at every villa. A private chef cooks in the villa on request, with a second or third chef for a larger group. The concierge can look for a babysitter on request.

Arranged by your concierge

The concierge looks after the rest, including groceries stocked before you arrive, a private chef and airport pickup at any hour, and quotes each item before you confirm. The concierge stays in touch before you arrive and during your stay.
