    Everything, it was clean, exceeded my expectations. The beds were comfortable. All electrical worked. I'd say better than staying in a hotel if your looking for the altimate privacy. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist.

    No complaints, just be aware of the monkeys; they can come in open windows and steal food.

    Absolutely gorgeous, exceeded my expectations, quality, maintenance, everything. Staff is wonderful, top tier. AC works wonderfully, kitchen is great and enjoyable to cook in, bed is comfortable, and the pool is to die for.

    The pillows are too fluffy so we didn’t sleep well. There’s ants everywhere - maybe ant dawa around the wall perimeter would help. Also the place definitely needs a smart tv. It’d be fun to swim all day then walk indoors and Netflix and chill. Also if the walkway to the villa was continuous, it’d be easier to carry luggage.

    The property was great. Love the absolute privacy once you’re in the villa. Love the pool - very nice. The bathroom and bedroom are alright. Sitting room is lovely.

    The private pool was really good, and it is cleaned daily, they provided a fresh set of towels every day, the property was kept sparkling clean and it’s literally a one minute walk from the beach. The host is really kind and communicative, the staff are also superb. We appreciated how quiet the villa is, the location is perfect and a stone throw away from all major places and activities. We had dinner at Ali Barbour cave which is literally next door from the villa, went jet skiing at the beach and this was also just next to the villa… the streets are safe, clean and walkable. I would definitely recommend the villa!

    I didn't like the fact I couldn't play my own music in the villa. Even during the day time. I understand at night after 10pm but during the day I think we should be able to play our own music.

    I like everything about the villa it was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the location was perfect. It was close to everything in the area. The staff member were very helpful and easy to talk to. I will recommend this place to any couple who wants to go to diani.

    I have stayed at over 15 different hotels and apartments in Diani, but this place is by far the nicest of them all. The Villa itself has an amazing elegant and clear modern style,the pool and garden is totally private. No better place to go if you want to relax and enjoy a luxury time without any disturbances. The owner as well as the staff are remarkably friendly. Definitely my number one place to go to in Diani. Unfortunately the past weekends all Villas have been booked. But I will hopefully get my chance again to return soon. :-)

    When I stumbled upon this villa online it seemed too good to be true. The pictures do not lie. It is equally beautiful and stylish in real life. The villa was extremely clean and was serviced daily by an amazing and efficient housekeeping team lead by Christine. They also did a 4.00 PM turn down service which was much appreciated. It is only 100 meters from the beach with private access and less than half a kilometer from the best restaurants and bars in Diani. Staying at Saffron was an incredible experience in itself and I would recommend anyone heading to the coast to stay here. I cant wait to come back.

    These villas stand out as the best accommodation option available in Diani. The villa itself is luxurious with the ideal design and layout. The rooms are comfortable and there is nothing missing - you even have your own private pool. The location is perfect; a quick walk to the beach and nearby restaurant and within a short distance from supermarkets and the main town of Diani. It's easy to access but at the same time quite private. Can't wait to stay here again!
