We came 5 families and rented both villas: Dora and Holly during Christmas holiday time for two weeks. What amazes most is very friendly staff. They live in separate house and you do not notice them but they are always there when we needed. The place was garded, villas were cleaned each day, garden and swimming pool was taken care by local staff as well. Eunice who is manager of villas did the best to help with any arrangements. Very warm person. We also had cheff Mike who prepared food for us. African dishes were lovely and he was great in buying the best fruits which tasted like honey. You could see that he is working with all his heart and trying to do the best. Villas are surrounded by nice garden and swimming pool area is cozy. Villas are simple and look less luxurous than in the picture but were fine. They are 15 min walk from the beach and 10 min from the main street although it is not recommended to walk when it is dark thus, we used tuk tuk services during that time. We enjoyed our staying and recommend villas for others as well.

Nous avons passé une semaine à la villa. Nous étions 8 et nous avions de la place car la maison est spacieuse. Le jardin est joli et la piscine est propre. Eunice et son équipe ont toujours été très agréables et disponibles pour nous rendre service. Le chef Mickael nous a préparé de très bons repas à domicile. La maison se trouve à 12mn à pied de la plage, c'est largement faisable et pas de problème de sécurité. Il y a des petits commerces sur le chemin pour acheter les produits courants. Le ménage est fait tous les jours, les serviettes changées et la maison gardée jour et nuit. Petit bémol concernant les moustiquaires qui ne ferment pas complètement ou qui ont des trous. Un changement serait judicieux. Heureusement il n'y avait quasiment pas de moustique. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de ce séjour à Diani durant lequel nous avons pu sortir du circuit hôtelier et côtoyer les habitants du coin et passer une très bonne soirée avec nos voisins.

We have had a very pleasant time in villa Dora, Diani beach. We have been in the house with 5 (2 adults and 3 children aged from 20 to 15) and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is nice, the pool not too big but nice and clean and the staff very cooperative and helpful. The chef Daniel prepared excellent dinner and was always on time even staying late when needed, buying by himself all he need for dinner. He also prepare a BBQ by the the pool for us and our friends, and was perfect. Only problem some of the mosquito nets are a little small for the beds (the two king size beds at the first floor), so it was not possible to close them completely. The forniture is quite basic but complete. The distance to the beach is a bit longer than on the web-site (more than ten minutes walking) was mentioned, but still not far and during the day the surrounding are perfectly safe (boys could go to the beach alone without problems). In the night it not advisable to go around on foot, also because there is no light at all outside the villa. Taxi is suitable Supermarket not far but not walking distance, ten minute by car or tuk tuk, (which is the easier and cheapest way for going round during the day)

We have had a wonderful time in villa Dora, Diani beach. The house is nice, the pool perfect and the staff very cooperative. Problems that we've had with the tap, were solved directly. The distance to the beach is a bit longer than on the web-site was mentioned, but still not far. We have been in the house with 7 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone.
