    The house was made in the original lamu traditional style , it is right behind another house but only 10 meters away from the corniche in Lamu.

    Breakfast was really nice, with a choice between Swahili and English style and it was served on the cozy rooftop terrace with views of the sea. I was lucky to be upgraded to their spacious and well-appointed "executive" suite on the third floor....
