This is an unlikely cross between an Italian villa, a Dutch country house, and an African seaside resort. Some rooms are homey, others rustic, and one has a contemporary feel, but no matter the design, the style is tasteful, and bathrooms are modern, with either tubs or showers. A restaurant with a sea-view terrace is available for breakfast or dinner. The inn also supplies kites, surfboards, and other beach toys.
Whimsical touches lighten the composed ambiance of this stylish house—bright orange and blue bed covers pop and rainbow weaving composes fun chairs—but accommodations are serious business to the French owners, who love Africa and strive to present a genuine experience. Helpful, friendly, and residing on-site, they will arrange a safari, a trip to Le Lac Rose, or other adventures. Guests return to spotless rooms, delicious food and fast Wi-Fi.
