I had my birthday during our week long stay last year in November (2012) one of the most memorable birthdays ever. Aldo and Silvia are the most welcoming hosts. The quiet and relaxation was exactly what we needed as a family. Their staff are superbly trained and the lodge is very well maintained, clean and intimate. Thank you Aldo and... More

Lonno Lodge is quite private resort, with nice owners Aldo and Silvia and very good guests. The rooms are big, very clean and designed by Aldo, (he is an architect). The food is Italian style with Kenya influences. The location is exclusive, there isn't a big beach, but a very particular rock promenade. Lonno lodge is 3 minutes from the... More

We spent 6 nights at Lonno Lodge in January. This has been voted by our family as the best hotel ever and we've been about a bit! Small hotel with only 8 suites, amazing pool, delicious italian food and perfect hosts. We are independent travellers with a 6 year old child. Aldo and Sylvia were on hand to answer any... More

We just came back from a week-end get away at Lonno Lodge in Watamu. We recommand it to every guest who wants to relax in a nice and welcoming environment while enjoying delicious italian food. The view on the sea from the pool desk is charming and wild. Long walks can be done on the beach when the tide is... More

We spent Christmas and New Year at Lonno Lodge, when I say we it means 8 of us. My husband and myself along with friends arrived first at Malindi airport via Niarobi, we were met at the small airport by the Lonno Lodge transport which is a luxury people carrier (very comfortable and airconditioned). About 20 minutes later we arrived... More

We went at Lonno during Christmas time and it was absolutely perfect! Silvia and Aldo spoiled us with their excellent service, fresh home made food and genuine courtesy.

Before travelling to Kenya, we did a lot of research and came across Lonno Lodge via Trip Advisor. We read all the reviews and wondered if such a special place really existed. Well it does! From the moment you see the smile of the Massai warrior at the gate, to the warm welcome from the owners Aldo and Sylvia upon... More

Had 9 nights here back in November and it was without doubt one of the most relaxing holidays I have had. The driver in the very luxurious people carrier was waiting for us at Mombasa airport and drove us safely on the 2 hour transfer to Lonno Lodge. Malindi is closer but the flight times are not as good so... More

Lonno is definitely the most beautiful and charming hotels/lodges I have ever stayed at. And the amazing thing is that the owners are the architects and your hosts. We stayed there as a family of 4 (2 adults, one 3-year and one 7-months old children). Sylvia and Aldo are the owners and they run the place. They've made us feel... More
