Somone: large air-conditioned villa with swimming pool, 10 people *, between Sea and Lagoon

For the design of the villa on a long plot, an architect was called in to build it in the center, combining contemporary, oriental and traditional local styles.
Very functional, it has a large bright living room, with large volumes, adjoining 3 air-conditioned bedrooms, equipped with bathrooms.
Upstairs, a mezzanine provides access to the circular terrace offering a clear view of the quiet, leafy residential area and the neighboring hotel with the ocean and lagoon in the background.
Open to the living room by a bar, the American kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances.
On the front, the sheltered terrace gives full access to the 4 x 8 m swimming pool, with its shellfish beach, pool house and outdoor kitchen equipped with sink, barbecue, plancha and gas stove.
Behind, a shaded and planted patio leads to the two independent twin huts with shower room, WC and ratchet, each accommodating 2 adults and 1 child / teenager. Each hut is air conditioned.
In front of the swimming pool and lodge, the main gate gives access to the gravelled parking lot. Behind the huts, a 50-meter garden in sand opens onto a locked gate opposite the hotel, providing access to the beaches located a few steps away, and to the village on foot, by bicycle or by taxi. The space allows good insulation against the nuisance of the neighboring hotel while enjoying the benefits. It lights up automatically at night and is well suited for pétanque and table tennis around its central baobab.
A hedge of bougainvillea fences the whole for maximum security and privacy.
Guardian Kabirou, discreetly lives on site at one end of the property. He manages the plantations, the swimming pool, solar energy, stewardship and can give useful tourist advice. From Monday to Saturday, Nogaye takes care of the cleaning, the household linen, the crockery and, on request, the meals.
The water stored in a buried reserve is distributed under pressure, protected from cuts.
A solar installation supplies essential electrical needs (fridge, water pump, lighting, pool filtering, etc.) and makes it possible to safely ignore any load shedding from the network.
Smoke detectors are operational at strategic locations.

UN BEAU SEJOUR DANS UNE TRES BELLE VILLA
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans la villa de Amy et Guy Grosset. Bien équipée, spacieuse, lumineuse, et surtout un environnement parfait, entourée d'oiseaux, à deux pas de la lagune de la Somone. Nous avons profité d'une belle chaleur et de la piscine, pendant que dans le ciel les milans font leur ballet, et les autres oiseaux calaos, guêpiers, bulbuls etc nous font la sérénade. Nogaye est une excellente cuisinière, ne pas s'en priver, et Kabirou très agréable. Une villa que je recommande vivement pour un séjour à la Somone, tout particulièrement aux amoureux des oiseaux, et aux autres aussi bien sûr.

une villa apaisante - un village acceuillant
Nous venons de passer deux semaines en famille dans la Villa de Guy et Amy et nous avons tous été ravis de ce séjour. La maison est spacieuse et agréable, les équipements branchés sur les panneaux solaires permettent de pallier efficacement aux nombreux délestages. La villa est à proximité de la plage, et non loin du centre du village ce qui donne accès à différentes activités. Nous remercions l'ensemble de l'équipe et Guy et Amy pour leurs disponibilité et leur gentillesse. Fatou

Excellent séjour
Résidence conforme au descriptif. Literie impeccable et de qualité. Belle piscine bien entretenue. Le gardien Nassir, veille à ce que tout soit correct, il est très disponible et prévenant. Avons utilisé les services de Aïcha pour la cuisine. Il ne faut pas s'en priver. Femme sérieuse et dévouée. Bon équipement général. A refaire...
