For those who likes short reviews: STOP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PLACE! You won’t regret this decision! This is a perfect villa for family vacation or vacation with friends. My parents and I spent 3 weeks in Zanzibar. We were extremely lucky to choose this place to stay! We loved everything: the beautiful stylish villa, its owner Raphael who gave us endless support and care, Juma and Issa who work with Raphael, the location that is just steps away from the beach, restaurants and local little shops with water and fruits, our friendly neighbors in the village and Maasai warriors on the beach. We will come back! THE VILLA Comfortable and really beautiful, decorated with great taste. The photos do not make a justice - we were awed! There is a patio with comfy furniture that we constantly used. The house is spacious, airy and bright. It has everything you possibly need – good AC in every room, high ceilings and big windows, well separated rooms means that guests do not bother each other, kitchen with everything for cooking, awesome living room perfect for gatherings and board games. There is even a little work table. Bathrooms are huge w/ fast water heaters and quality new washer, iron and drying racks. All the beds are very comfy and equipped with mosquito nets RAHPAEL's TEAM In a nutshell: we were covered and had zero problems. Raphael is awesome and has big heart! He is adventurous, knowledgeable, truly hospitable, kind, honest. He was always available online to answer all questions big and small and helped us out in many situations which is so important for a foreigner without Swahili. Issa, the young house keeper, leaves next to the villa and invisible, but appears magically and solves everything in house in a heartbeat. Juma drove us around multiple times and organized a great tour in Stone Town and Jozani. He is awesome driver and storyteller! Ask him about history, local spices and remedies

Unforgettable stay at this Zanzibar Villa with exceptional host Sasha. We recently had an amazing stay at this wonderful villa in Jambiani. The property was a perfect blend of modern luxury and local charm, with high standards with a cozy atmosphere. High quality furniture, sinks, bath tub (we’re attentive to details: Villeroy&Boch you usually have at your own house or in the 5 stars hotels), nice and comfortable beddings. Everything is made for yourself - good quality and expensive materials. The villa is well designed, super stylish and comfortable. A lot of space, highest ceilings, especially a second floor - so to say a master bedroom - is a huge open space loft around 80 sq m. Quite unique. Jambiani is one of the nicest aria on the island (we’ve been travelling all over, stayed almost everywhere from the north to the south). Much less touristic comparing to Nungwe, cleaner, more authentic, less crowded. We loved the restaurant which Sasha recommended us when we arrived, and after exploring all over - it was the best food in Zanzibar. Beach is 3 minutes away, you need to walk through a local village, first it was a bit surprising, but then we actually liked it - you see a real life, everyone is friendly (totally safe!) and no one is trying to sell you anything (so rare in Zanzibar lol) The host helped us during all our stay, was incredibly responsive, Sasha organised our transfer from the airport, renting a car, helped with the driving licence, gave a plenty of great and useful recommendations. Thank you!
