The villas, in order for this stay
Villas ranked by their pool setting, Urugwiro first: the water, the terrace and the garden around it set the order.
Leading the list, Urugwiro is a Kacyiru villa with terraces over the city, a pool and a barbecue in the gardens. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it. Urugwiro has a barbecue in the gardens of its 2,000 m² grounds. At Urugwiro the hot tub is outdoors, in the gardens of the gated grounds. Urugwiro stands on 2,000 m² of gated, landscaped grounds, with flowering paths and lawns around the pool.
Also here, Irebero, a hillside villa in the Rebero Hills with a pool and hot tub, a spa room, a private gym and a wine bar. At Irebero the hot tub sits next to the pool, in the gardens. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it.
Another house, Amahoro, a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. Each of Amahoro's four bedrooms opens onto its own terrace, and the terraces look across the Kibagabaga hills. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it.
“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.”
