Siwa Villa

The Siwa Villa is a traditionally built mud house completely restored to Boutique Hotel standards. Accommodation for Family's on holiday, Safari Groups or Travelers who want to experience 'Somewhere Different' and not just another hotel room. The villa is quiet and very private behind the old Shali fort in Siwa, five minutes from the souk.

There are four large bedrooms that can accommodate up to ten people. The roof terrace has a large fire place big enough to roast a lamb or two with several quite areas around the house for people to relax.

To see the different areas of the Siwa Villa inside scroll down the page to see them all. Please also see the relaxation and entertainment sections as well.

Siwa Villa inside - Dining area

Fifteen foot dinning table that will fit 10+ easily in the middle of the living area for when you all want to get together for lunch or dinner. There's is also a small table and seating area in the kitchen if you feel 15ft of space is a bit much for you bowl of cornflakes and coffee in the morning!

The villa is serviced by a full time Siwan house keeper and Ludmila who is the House Manager.

		The villa has been completely restored to a high standard mixing traditional styles with modern appliances.

Olive Room - Sleeps 1 or 2 Another twin room/single room depending on the size of your group.We just add another bed if your group is the maximum size of 10 people. It has reading lights for each bed, wardrobe and small cupboard.

		Palm Room - Sleeps 4 The four beds in this large room are made of palm trees, just in case you didn't notice.

If you're a kid, bags the top bunk! Even the top bunk has it's own reading light you can switch off with out getting out of bed.

		There are two large singles at the other end of the room, each with their own reading light. In the middle is a large chest of draws ( antique Italian we are told) and a wardrobe that is the biggest I have ever seen. There is also Angus's boat collection.

The fireplace backs on to the shower room making it more like a steam room when there is a roaring fire. The western toilet and shower are all new. A gas boiler heats the water supply and so provides a continuous supply of hot water.

Five plumbers and a lot of ...chats later, they got the idea we did not want an electric water heater that would do two showers and then take another half hour to warm up. It is a large room and a pleasure to have a long, long shower in.

		Bathroom and toilets Fresh towels are provided every few days by Mohammad, depending on your needs.

The water is from a spring that is similar to the one that provides the water for the Siwa Water factory that provides bottled water for most of the country, so it's pretty good.

	There is a large cupboard under the sink and shelves next to the shower for storing towels and shampoo etc.Under the stairs to the roof terrace there is another toilet and hand basin.

There is another separate shower room in the Steam house (on the left below) that has two showers in it.

		Living Room This is a large long room through the middle of the house. It is traditional for Siwan houses to have one large living room facing north south to catch the breeze that blows through the house through the day to keep it cool.

An open fire provides extra heat in the winter if required. Additional seating and cushions are available if all ten of you want to cuddle up. There are exposed palm tree beams on the ceiling making the room look like an English baronial hall. This is the traditional way of making ceilings in Siwa.

The lighting is provided by wall fittings made of salt giving a nice warm glow in the evenings.

The floor through out the house is a soft lime stone about 3 cm's thick and needed a five tonne truck to deliver! It took Penny nearly a month of solid tiling to get the floor laid, but it was worth it.

Through out your stay Mohammad the house keeper will be around to keep the fires burning in the house and on the roof using local olive wood and the kitchen sink free of washing up.

Not all of the rooms in the Siwa Villa have been shown here. Please see other parts of the villa in the relaxation and entertainment pages.
