I stayed at Villa Tulia with my sisters and we had an amazing time chilling at the villa pool side or having a walk on the beach. The villa owners helped us with arranging everything almost a month before our arrival, and they were very supportive with all our inquiries. We had a warm welcome by the villa manager Hawa - who ensured that we have a great stay. The staff and their hospitality were amazing, especially the 2 professional Chefs who made us the best fresh dishes that we ever had and never failed to surprise us (BIG thanks to chef Ibrahim and Chef Ramadan) ! The villa is as exactly what you see in the photos and beyond, we weren't disappointed at all. The decoration and attention to details were mind blowing and we loved the fact that we were able to find all the amenities that we need during our stay. Privacy was a big thing for us, and the staff made sure that we had our space with no disturbance to enjoy our time. I would recommend staying at Villa Tulia, especially if you are looking for a cozy, feel like home place to stay in at Zanzibar ! I stayed at couple of places in Zanzibar before but by far this is the best place ever ..... Will definitely be back :) Thank you Jac and the whole team at Villa Tulia for making our visit memorable !

A must visit! We ended up at Garden Beach Villas by coincidence after having another accommodation in the area cancelled. We did not expect a lot and were nicely surprised. Our stay was at the small villa which is comprised of great sized bathroom, clean bedroom and large living room area connected with kitchen which, despite being quite basic, is equipped with pretty much everything you need. The outdoor area is of a great size with chairs and a sunlounger - overlooking the beautifully cared for garden which offers direct access to calm and relaxing beach. Our breakfast was served on time and always fresh- we had fresh juice, fruit, pancakes, eggs and bread available. The staff was exceptional-smiley and welcoming always available to help with anything we needed. We were also joined by a family of cats and kittens that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Overall we loved our stay here and would like to thank the team (especially Mati) for making our stay feel like home away from home.

Everything. Even before our arrival, Hans was always ready to answer our questions or our needs. And then once we were there, every thing was perfect. Hans and our private waiters Juma, are always there, with out you noticing them or bothering you, but always that you need anything they are there for you, to help your dreams of a perfect honeymoon come true. The staff are amazing, polite nice, punctual, everything. And the place a perfect chill spot only a few minutes drive from the noisy crowded areas of Nundwy or Kendwa. I highly recommend to ask for a boat day trip, to do some snorkel and eat fresh fish on a bbq in the middle of the ocean with amazing beach views. We rely love our time there and If any time of my life I go back to Zanzibar I for sure will go there. BTW, the food there is amazing good, always a different option, fresh cooked for you and with veg options.

Everything was just as described. The villa was beautiful, clean and very well maintained by daily housekeeping. Had a lovely lady come in and prepare a breakfast spread for us every morning where we had the option to choose, from a small menu. The villa is located in a quiet area, with security. However, there are restaurants and beaches within walking distance. The owner, manager, and housekeeper were extremely responsive to our individual requests, and provided us celebratory extras, free of charge! We would happily stay at Villa Totò if we visit Zanzibar again.

Our stay at Lions Villa in Zanzibar was exceptional! From the get-go, Paola provided very useful information about the villa, its services, and the island, making our trip planning seamless. The villa itself was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and felt just like home. We made use of several services, including a private chef and island excursions, all of which were easily planned and precisely met our expectations. A special mention to our driver, Mohamed, who was fantastic and accommodated all our requests with a smile. Additionally, Mr. Davies took care of all our on-site requests, ensuring a smooth stay—he was truly fantastic. Overall, Lions Villa is a gem in Zanzibar, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly!
