“Cairo” and “tranquil” – not two words we’d normally associate with each other. At least, we didn’t until news of Villa Belle Epoque plopped into our inbox this morning.
It’s opening on March 21st and calls itself “Cairo’s first boutique hotel” – boutique meaning a 1920s villa with just just 13 period-style rooms, chandeliers, lots of balconies, and date palms and mango trees in the gardens. Foodwise, you can choose from Egyptian, Oriental, Italian and French; and there’ll even be a high tea served on the bank of the Nile on offer, as well as felucca boat trips at sunset.
It sounds utterly gorgeous, but there is a downside – it’s five miles out of central Cairo. Having said that, from what we’ve heard about central Cairo, we might rather have a haven from the madhouse if we ever make it out there.
So far, the villa is only bookable through Bales Worldwide, which has three night packages including flights from the UK and transfers from £559 per person. There are no US packages yet, but you can book accommodations only. Price is on request.
