Why they chose this property
Samaki House is a great historic place, to enjoy the real ambiance and day to day life of Lamutown its unique setting. It's a beautifully restored private house, offering a spacious secure living environment with its courtyard garden and it's multiple roof terraces to hang out on and watch both daily life and fantastic sunsets from. We love it because ts authentic theres donkeys in the naroow pedestrian streets below us and the call to prayer from the Mosque accents the pace of the day. All facilities are in immediate proximity , restaurats, shops, craft places, the market and the slow but busy enough waterfront. It all has its own magic we fell in love with it at first sight... much as you do with Lamu itself .
