Warm words from our guests 🏠
Vivian MilandoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first moment I called Rosanna and Vincent, their warmth and genuine kindness radiated through the phone, even before I had the privilege of meeting them in person. The moment my friends and I arrived at their small paradise, we were enveloped in a sense of peace and belonging that only truly exceptional hosts can create. Everything was perfect—their heartfelt reception, the mouthwatering breakfasts that Rosanna prepared with so much care, and the uniquely designed rooms, each with its own personal African touch, reflecting a deep love for the culture and beauty of the place. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was not just the stunning surroundings, but the deep sense of connection and hospitality that this beautiful couple shared with us. The cozy pool area with its incredible sound system made our bonding experience even more magical. We laughed, danced, relaxed, and had such an unforgettable time with my friends. As we left, we all knew we would return to this slice of paradise in Watamu, not only for the beauty of the place, but for the love and warmth that Rosanna and Vincent so effortlessly gave. If you’re looking for a truly special place to stay, this is it. I recommend it a million times over—because it’s not just about the stunning scenery or the perfect rooms, it’s about the beautiful souls who make you feel at home in their world.

The rooms are spacious, well decorated and most of all, the comfiest bed we have ever slept in. Not to mention the quietness of the place. The pool, though small, is absolutely perfect and well kept. Great for a refreshing dip before dinner :) But, most of all, our favourite part was meeting Rosanna, Vincent and Blu (the dog). They love hosting and it shows. Attention to details and to their guest is their priority….amazing to taste their cooking skills as well. From breakfast to dinners together everything was superb!! We enjoyed them so much that went to visit more than once during the rest of our stay. I would highly recommend. Ps: I am the worst photographer ever but wanted to share some pics anne musyokaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing, this is an hidden gem. The ambiance is super beautiful, the most comfortable bed have ever had in a long time🩷. The breakfast is a variety of Swiss n Kenyan mix(super delicious),The place is run by the owner (Swiss couple) who are very welcoming and attend to requests on the spot. Not forgetting the most ever calming massage offered (at a fee). Am highly recommending any visitor/guests coming to watamu to look no more. Very affordable and with 5star standards. Am definitely coming back 🩷🩷🩷 Anna Giuseppe BarbarinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Consiglio a pieni voti questa location per il vostro soggiorno in Kenya nella città di Watamu. Le stanze sono abbastanza confortevoli per il soggiorno, dotate di bagno e doccia. Nella parte esterna troverete un fantastico giardino, dove si trova la piscina, sdraio per prendere il sole, un letto a dondolo per i vostri riposini pomeridiani, un area con divanetti dove poter fare i vostri aperitivi, e un area barbecue.. La struttura è molto curata in ogni particolare ed è molto pulita... Dalla location vi potete spostare tranquillamente noleggiando una moto o tuc tuc.. L' accoglienza dei padroni di casa vi renderanno il soggiorno come se fosse a casa vostra... F. BmdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super moment chez Vinrosa à Watamu... super accueil, chambre chaleureuse au calme à 10 min (en tuktuk) de la plage de Willy beach. En plus, les hôtes cuisinent pour nous et même très bien😊😊... Je conseille vivement
