The Villa of Zanzibar was simply epic. I couldn't expect anything more during my stay! From the sunrises and sunsets, to the stunning pool and cosy rooms, this place had it all. Everything was extremely clean, the chefs cooked amazing food and the organisation of our safari and other dolphin excursions was great! What a smooth trip :) Would highly recommend for anybody who is visiting Zanzibar and wants to explore the island, and who also wants to relax and unwind. Also, it was really close to Nungwi (10 minutes away), where some nice bars & clubs were located. I'll be back!

Incroyable séjour à The Villa of Zanzibar

J'ai passé un séjour exceptionnel à The Villa of Zanzibar ! Cette villa offre un cadre calme et apaisant, tout en étant à 10 minutes en voiture de Nungwi, un village animé. Pour mon séjour, j'ai loué la Sea View 2. La vue donne directement sur la piscine et plus loin l'océan, un vrai bonheur lors du réveil ! La chambre était nettoyée tous les jours et de nouvelles décorations avec des fleurs étaient chaque fois créés sur le lit. Une attention qui m'a beaucoup plu. Le personnel était souriant et à l'écoute. Le cuisiner prépare de délicieux repas. J'ai également pris part à un safari qui a été organisé en Tanzanie. Quelques jours de pur bonheur entourés d'animaux ! Quel plaisir d'avoir découvert ce pays, sa culture et cette maison encore plus belle que sur les photos, c'était digne d'un rêve ! Je reviendrai sans hésiter. Je garde un merveilleux souvenir et recommande à tout le monde de découvrir The Villa of Zanzibar !

I had an excellent stay!

I stayed alone at the villa in zanzibar in a lovely room. I had an excellent stay! The setting is magnificent and so peaceful. My room, spacious with a huge bathroom, overlooked the garden and the ocean. The sun sets in front of the room and the pool, which is remarkable. The common areas are large and spacious, so you can enjoy the place without disturbing each other. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The chef is very attentive to special requests.I look forward to returning.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience. The house is stunning and the room is comfortable and very clean. The pool is incredible. When high tide, we could just jump in the ocean right down the house The staff is very friendly and polite. The Chef makes the best burgers ever. The house is quiet but only 10 minutes away from all restaurants and bars from Nungwi A very good combination of hideaway. We highly recommend this Villa
