among the most beautiful of the east coast of Africa. Situated in an elevated position overlooking the Indian Ocean and the spectacular Diani Beach, the villas are all owned and managed by Fabrizio Molinaro and his wife Marika, with the help of their precious multilingual staff of thirty people. Fabrizio, after having completed his studies in Medicine, has been living in Kenya for 23 years, where he first began to organize safari and then to manage its 2 jewels: the Cliff Villa and the Garden Villa.I have been around the world in search of furnishings together with Marika, who is an interior designer, and together we have created at Alfajiri the atmosphere that a refined and tasteful customer is supposed to long whenever he/she enters a luxurious private residence, and particularly when is directed to Africa in search of relaxation and fun”. The Cliff Villa has a Caribbean style, light and airy, while the Garden Villa is authentically African. The furnishings are very well kept, with interiors from Africa and the Far East. In the Garden Villa the roofs are in
Makuti style, made up of coconut tree leaves, which are typical on this coast, the floors are ivory colored, the ceilings are wooden beams, the doors are in fine carved wood and finely worked in Lamu style and there are extraordinary pieces of furniture in African and eastern style. Large terraces with comfortable sofas hand-carved dominate the estate front part, where a swimming pool is “carved” on the edge of the cliff and merges with the sea and the horizon. Sheltered by coral reefs, above Diani Beach talcum powder sand , this elegant private retreat is perfect to spend exclusive days in laziness, enjoying tasty food and a panoramic view. A common choice for celebrities wanting to get away. The two villas are offered in exclusive, ensuring total privacy. Most of the furnishings are made in the laboratory within the estate. The gardens are cared for with love and attention and they include many palm trees coming from the greenhouses of the property. A very convenient destination to reach, at only an hour from Mombasa airport, served by ten
daily flights from Jomo Keyatta airport in Nairobi; you can also reach Mombasa with direct flights from England, Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. Private flights can land on Ukunda landing strip and there’s a daily service to and from Maasai Mara, Samburu National Park and Nairobi Wilson Airport. “Being able to introduce directly the product and being the first, face to face, to receive the customer is for me a priceless part of the quality I can offer,” says Fabrizio. “Here flexibility is a fundamental part for the traveler satisfaction. In the morning the menu is chosen together with the guest and the chef goes to the market to buy fresh fish and the desired ingredients. Families love to stay here because they feel home and they are pampered like princes. You haven’t to think about anything, only deciding lunch and dinner time together with the chef and what to do during the day.” Here to switch off” means to be pampered and enjoy all the privacy of a private villa that a place of suggestive emotions can offer.
