The Houses
Two large stone houses with kitchens and a cozy apartment with kitchenette. Additionally we have two adobe-brick bungalows which can ONLY be booked in conjunction with the stone houses, e.g. for families or small groups.
Because the houses are spread out around the property and all have their own outdoor seating areas, you'll have plenty of privacy.
All units are equipped with their own bathroom, wash basin and shower (warm water).
All houses and most of the common areas have high Speed WIFI (Starlink) which allows our guests as for example Digital Nomads to do video conferences in good quality.
The all-natural materials ensure a pleasant and cool climate inside — without any need for loud, energy-hungry air conditions that are damaging to the environment. The furniture, windows and doors have generally been purchased locally using untreated wood.
Environmental concerns played a major role during the design and construction of these houses; the houses are almost completely recyclable. The many windows ensure plenty of bright, joyous sunshine. Curtains are use to darken the room for sleep.
The large holiday houses are build of stone. The walls contain an adobe filling. The roof is built around wood from the Ivory Coast. One large holiday house is covered with standard bricks the other with sugarcane straw.
