Good location, well furnished rooms & courteous staff:

We (two families with a teen each) spent one night at this nice boutique hotel. It is located in a rather quiet neighborhood near the town center. And many tourist spots are within walking distance. 

We were warmly received and decided to have the offered welcome drink later on. It was about a good glass of wine and canapés, a nice touch, which we had before dinner. My husband and I had the “Queen” room (out of totally eight rooms) featuring (of course) a queen bed. Pity about that, we found it too small. And this especially in view of the huge room. It offered contemporary furnishings and a spacious modern bathroom, we liked it … Breakfast was also an enjoyable affair. They served it (no buffet), and everything was of a very good quality. There is also a restaurant (pre-booking only) that we did not try out.

All things considered, staying at Hotel Villa Margherita was a pleasant thing and a good change compared to the rest of the trip (a brilliant Botswana, Namibia and Victoria Falls fly-in safari guided expertly by Ultimate Safaris, sightings included the Big 5, cheetah, wild dog and sitatunga).

Date of stay: October 2010
