    Ordered the braai pack, definitely one can’t finish it all by themself. When they brought in the Sadza in the red pot, that’s when I knew , this is fire. They got this fine sauce on their meats😋, Sadza was well cooked. Kunzwa moto chaiko. Generous meat potions. Sadza kuzadza kaBodo- Warris this 😋😋 The mocktails- went with the Cherry kiss. Loved it. We preferred outside sitting area. The garden area is very full of greenery and shrub. Very picturesque garden. Was too full to dance 🕺🏾to some good music which was coming from the bar area. We couldn’t even swim- too full to swim 😂 Limited parking area but well secure. The staff is vibes for days

    This is a beautiful BnB in Avondale along King George so you won’t get lost getting to it. The gardens are beautiful and it also has a swimming pool. The rooms are done well inside but the design could have been more imaginative than a single file. The breakfast is divine and the hosts are a nice Italian family.

    Villa Franca is a beautiful tranquil B&B in the middle of Harare. Its luxurious and lavish design made me feel like i was secluded from the rest of the city. The gardens are regularly maintained but there was nothing better than taking a quick dip in the clear pool and resting under the Zimbabwean sun after a hard day of work. But by far the best of my stay was meeting the kind and friendly staff of Villa Franca. They pampered to my every need whether it was a change of bed sheets or a nice beer in the relaxing lounge. The owners (a lovely italian couple) were very helpful and went the extra mile to make sure my stay was as relaxing as possible. In my opinion by far the best b&b in Harare and i look forward to staying there again.

    So quiet, so relaxing, and so classy. Secure gated property with cooked to order breakfasts, massage services, and in ground pool. Rooms are old style and well maintained. Highly recommend and would happily spend more time here.

    Find yourself lying on Villa Giani’s cozy bed along King George road in Avondale Harare. The interior rooms are fabulous and the gardens are beautiful and lit by glittering lights at night.The staff is young, polite and helpful. Perfect for a refreshing time.

  • 4/5 Antonio R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A place for nostalgic Italians. Where the owner will tell you about the good times when this villa was his home is everything shines more in Zimbabwe then, but probably it was the youth that shone the most and not Zimbabwe. In any case you will find yourself well, excellent breakfast and a good, quiet stay, close to the city center (Original) Un luogo per italiani nostalgici. Dov'è il proprietario vi racconterà dei bei tempi quando questa villa era la sua casa è tutto brilla a di più nello Zimbabwe di allora, ma probabilmente era la gioventù che brillava di più e non lo Zimbabwe. In ogni caso vi troverete bene, ottima colazione e buon soggiorno tranquillo, vicino al centro della città

    Awesome secluded and fresh environment. I like its proximity to Avondale shopping complex

  • 1/5 Fi O. 6 years ago on Google
    Rooms and location are lovely but the concierge has a bias in favour of European guests and diplomats. If you are neither, you may be shuffled around and treated like they are doing you a favour by giving you a room there.

    (Translated by Google) Nice hotel in a homely style. The owner is Italian and extremely friendly. Breakfast is choice menu and laundry service is fine. Nearby is Casa Mia where you can get Italian food. This within walking distance about 5 minutes. Evening food can but must be passed in the morning. (Original) Leuk hotel in huiselijke stijl. De eigenaresse is Italiaans en uitermate vriendelijk. Ontbijt is keuze menu en wasservice is prima. Dichtbij is Casa Mia waar italiaans eten te krijgen is. Dit op loopafstand ca 5 min. Avond eten kan maar moet 's morgens doorgegeven worden.
