"Villa Margherita review"
No evening meals taken but breakfast excellent. Staff arranged and advised on a number of things for our group.
Evening meals must be pre-booked, but it should be noted that this service is not available on Sundays and that a number of restaurants in Swakopmund are also closed on that day.
Had a meal at the Tug seafood restaurant on one evening and the food, service and ambience were all excellent. Both it and the Villa Margherita are highly recommended." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Very comfortable"
"Villa Margherita was lovely"
I wish we had realized that we needed to book several days ahead if we wanted to eat dinner at the hotel. We did try 24 hours in advance, but that was not long enough, as the chef needed longer notice in order to be available that night. ( And the restaurant looked lovely.) Since it was a Sunday, our dining options were limited, but we had a perfectly fine dinner at a pub-style place in town.
We stayed two nights in Swakop; I think one would have sufficed." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Villa Margherita review"
We had the Queen room which is upstairs and it was really spacious, we thought the accomodation could not be faulted. Breakfasts were really good and large, garden was a little sun trap when we were there.
Parking is on a driveway to the side but is not actually secure." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
