The villas, in order for this stay
The order follows the pool setting: Urugwiro first, then the others, each with its own water and its own garden.
Urugwiro comes first: a four-bedroom villa on 2,000 m² of gated grounds in Kacyiru, with an infinity pool and an outdoor hot tub. Urugwiro's terraces look out over the city from Kacyiru. At Urugwiro the hot tub is outdoors, in the gardens of the gated grounds. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it.
Irebero is the next door to open: Rebero's villa of wellness: a spa room free to use, a gym, a pool and a rooftop lounge over the city. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it. At Irebero the hot tub sits next to the pool, in the gardens.
Amahoro follows: a duplex villa in Kibagabaga with the feel of a penthouse, a pool and a fire pit for the evenings. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it. Each of Amahoro's four bedrooms opens onto its own terrace, and the terraces look across the Kibagabaga hills.
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
“We will be back, that is for sure. Rare to find a property that meets all your requirement but this is a pristine development with a lovely pool.”
