Fatuma's Tower Guest House

We have stayed at Fatumas Tower to visit the village of Shela, which has amazed me and I recommend visiting it. The house is comfortable, spacious and elegant so it is a very good choice for accommodation. Angelika, the owner is very nice and hospitable. In addition to all this, I would like to highlight above all the kindness of all the staff, especially Khamisi and Amos, with whom we shared the most time during our stay. Amos' food is simply delicious.

We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Right at the back of the village, through all of the winding streets and past all of the donkeys and cats, you walk through the front gate of Fatuma’s Tower and feel immediately at peace. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was wonderfully luxurious and gave straight out onto the courtyard where we ate all of our meals. The breakfasts were the best we had in Kenya (just the thought of the fresh papaya and mango still makes me salivate) and the whole team could not be more delightful – and more focused on making sure your stay is perfect in every respect. Thank you Angelika, Martin, Khamisi, Justin and everybody else there. We can’t wait for our next trip!

My daughter and I had a great stay at Fatuma’s tower. The house and the garden are beautiful. Hidden at the far end of the village, it is a perfect place if you want to relax and take your time. The food was excellent and very reasonable (much better than in the restaurants on the beach). The staff was extremely friendly and discreet. Angelika and her staff make you feel as you were at home. We definitly recommend this place and hope that we can come back.

Una semana fantástica en Lamu Island. Traspasar la verja de entrada es entrar en el paraíso. Angelika te recibe en su recepción: el jardín. Después, no quieres salir. Todo es agradable: los apartamentos, los desayunos, las comidas y el jardín con su pequeño estanque para d**** un remojo en horas de calor, etc. pero lo mejor es el servicio, Thomas el mayordomo, Amos el chef, Emmanuel. Debíamos abandonarlo de vez en cuando para disfrutar del resto de la isla, pero deseando volver, para disfrutar de la placidez en su makuti, sus jardines, su cocina preparada por Amos y servido por Thomas. Gracias, Angelika y tu equipo por esa semana fantástica.
