VILLA DETAILS
The villa was built in 2009 for a Dutch couple, and the name
is of the villa is derived from the owner’s first name Leo,
which is the word for today in Kiswahili. Local Swahili people
love to give people nicknames and this one stuck! The villa
stands all on one level with a large elevated veranda with
dining table, chairs and hammocks to chill in the soft evening
breeze. Above the surrounding bush and garden you’ll have a
clear view of the waterhole and the game and birds that
regularly visit. Walkways around the villa lead back to more
private terraces outside each bedroom - extra quiet places to
sit and ponder on your relaxed life! The whole building,
including the terraces and veranda, is covered by traditional
makuti (coconut leaf) roof.
Living in style and comfort
The main entrance is through a giant traditional carved
Zanzibari door, leading into the extremely large open living and
dining room. The room is fully furnished with a big second
dining table and chairs, modern comfy sofas and chairs
surrounding a coffee table, and entertainment box including
satellite TV and DVD player and iPod/MP3 docking station.
Wireless internet is available throughout, and games and books
are available. At the end of the living room is the semi-open
well-equipped modern kitchen and stock room with large fridge/freezer
and electric hob.
Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
From the lounge, you can reach the adjoining bathrooms and
bedrooms set one on each side for perfect privacy. Both bedrooms
can also be reached direct via the veranda doors outside.
Both bedrooms are traditionally furnished with king-sized
Zanzibar double beds with warm coloured linen, mosquito nets,
traditionally painted and carved antique Zanzibar wardrobes.
Zanzibar chests act as safes for your valuables. The coconut
pole ceilings, cool terrazzo floors and teak woodwork give the
rooms a cool and cozy feeling. The rooms are fitted with
split-level air conditioning and opening windows.
Both rooms have small adjoining children’s rooms with double
bunk bed and large walk-in storage cupboard. Its is important to
realize that these adjoining bedrooms are accessed through the
main bedrooms and share the same bathrooms – please see the
floor plans for exact location of all rooms. The rooms were
purpose built for children but many adults have also used them
in the past, each room has a fan and opening window, and the
rooms can share in the A/C if adjoining doors are left open.
The large bathrooms are stylish and modern, clean and fresh with
colorful terrazzo floors; both have large sunken baths for two
people, well pressured hot and cold showers, double washbasins,
mirrors, hairdryers and WC.
