Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, very helpful staff (special thanks to Joanne), nice green surroundings, nicely decorated restaurant, good breakfast albeit not varied. On to the things that were not so great, the restaurant food is a bit overpriced/over hyped... my lamb shank wasn't fall of the bone and the vegetables were bland, far too many unnecessary small tapestry/rugs on the floor that aren't glued in place and look like they need a clean, lighting inside the bedroom and bathroom were inadequate, it felt like some of the installations in the room were an afterthought that weren't skillfully executed (e.g. the electrical sockets, light fixtures, faucets and shower heads), no room numbers on the room door exterior, one of the rooms in the hotel suffers from noise pollution.

We stayed at the guest house on two separate occasions in two separate double rooms. Both rooms were very clean and well appointed. They each had enormous closet space, which was convenient. Hot water and Wi-Fi were reliable. The staff were pleasant and professional. Breakfast was included and was a generous portion of delicious food. The adjacent restaurant has an excellent Italian menu, albeit a bit pricey. This guesthouse is terrific value for the money. It’s in a convenient location, walkable distance to the Acacia Mall area that has plenty of affordable restaurants. The grounds are lovely.

An excellent option
This is a brilliant option if you want peace, quiet, a little style and great food. The restaurant (Mediterraneo) is one of the best in Kampala so I tried the accommodation as well. Pretty good and very good value. Would definitely return.

Comfortable and great value for money
Stayed overnight to not be impacted by the curfew, fast and efficient checkin and quiet and comfortable room, shower was excellent and the whole property is beautiful and inviting! Breakfast could have been a little more interesting given the excellent restaurant on premises, but all in all great value for the price! Convenient location for acacia mall and a lot of restaurants.

Hidden Gem
A very hidden Gem and Sadiq the gentleman who never stops attending to any one was amazing as well as the bartender who quickly grasped my taste of the old-fashioned and did it perfectly to my taste. Absolute tidiness and great old character at the venue.

Not as good as it looks
The villa is located in the bar and party area Kololo which makes it a noisy place at some nights. It has a very good Italian restaurant. It's a one-floor building so that people (workers, gardeners, cooks) were walking during the day in front of my window, looking inside. The staff doesn't show the level of friendliness I'm used from other hotels in Kampala. My overall impression was surprisingly negative.
