“Villa Kounzo is an absolute gem—a peaceful oasis in Africa. From start to finish, my stay was nothing short of exceptional.
The property features two beautiful swimming pools, perfect for a refreshing dip or lounging in the sun. There’s also a spacious and tranquil area to relax, whether you're reading a book, sipping a drink, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
The hospitality is next level. Laurette served up a three-course luxury dinner that was simply divine. Christophe prepared the best breakfast I’ve had anywhere in Africa.
The rooms are spotless, with tasteful decor and thoughtful touches throughout. Everything is maintained to the highest standard, reflecting a clear passion for hospitality.
Villa Kounzo also helps you make the most of your time—they recommend great daytime activities and are happy to order excellent takeaway meals from nearby restaurants if you're staying in for the evening.
The on-site bar is another highlight, offering cold, reasonably priced drinks including soft drinks, beer, and wine—a perfect way to wind down after a day of exploring.
Villa Kounzo is far more than just a place to stay—it’s a haven of comfort, great food, and genuine hospitality where you feel like home. I left feeling completely recharged and already planning my return. Highly recommended!”
“Lovely new place in the middle of nowhere but in plain nature. You open the back door into the mangrove woods and water, cross the street and touch the wild Atlantic. Fantastic tours can be booked directly and simple at the Lodge. As there are no real facilities around like bigger shops or restaurants we got served perfect breakfast and meals by the nice lady running the house. No car, take a piroge or a caleche or a driver. The pool is marvellous, the AC is working, wifi leaking but everything else is worth going there.”
“The rooms are very clean and the bed is very comfortable.
There is no running water but the bucket works fine and everything is very clean! The staff is very very nice, warm and ready to help. They make the place as nice as it is.
The location is very calm and relaxing. I spent a really calm day there reading in the hammocks.”
“Three dreamlike days in a little piece of paradise!
I was lucky enough to stay at this beautiful beachfront villa, and I leave with a heart full of gratitude and emotion. Every moment was pure bliss, soothed by the sound of the waves and the warmth of an exceptional team.
A huge thank you to Awa, Pierre, Omar, Ami, Kangou, Marie Jeanne, Awa Bah, and Ismaïla, whose kindness, professionalism, and care made this stay magical. Every smile, every gesture, every detail was just perfect. You truly feel at home—cherished, respected, and loved.
The service was flawless, the food delicious, the atmosphere peaceful… and that endless beach… a waking dream!
I leave with a light heart and only one wish: to return.
Thank you for everything, and see you very soon 💛🌊🌴”
“Everything! Celine is a total icon. She made us feel so at home that we are now considering moving to Toubacouta. The food, the room, the excursions - everything was made to suit us and every little detail was so thoughtful. What this wonderful couple don’t mention on their page is that they run a local NGO, helping the community through various ways. We plan to be back asap!”
“The place was comfortable with a beautiful pool area. The staff and the owner are super friendly and helpful. The location is great as well, the village is quite small but packed with beautiful places and beautiful.
I recommend this place especially if your budget is a bit tight, because it has a great value for money.”
