Simply a perfect holiday…. This was or first time to Luxor but having visited Cairo a few years ago we couldn’t wait to see the treasures, temples and tombs of this intoxicating land. Easter was the perfect time, pleasantly warm and getting hotter as the week progressed. Our accommodation, Villa Lostis, could not have been better. Situated just outside of the town centre but within easy walking distance. The owners Linda and Eid were brilliant, making our stay even better. Linda had stocked-up the fridge with essentials (including local beer). Our apartment was spacious, clean, well equipped with en-suite and a very comfortable bed. We were sharing with my sister and husband; they had their own bathroom too, which gave us all the necessary privacy… fully equipped kitchen, a home from home. Balconies providing views and a wonderful roof terrace, perfect for watching the sunset and absorbing the truly biblical scene. Try a takeaway from ‘Snobs’ eaten on the roof terrace; embrace the local food and ambiance of the real Luxor. A swimming pool provided an early morning dip and a relaxing afternoon swim.
Getting around, either to the west bank or being collected from town was easy… Said the taxi driver was invaluable, give him a ring and he would be there within minuets, nothing was too much trouble, (he also collected us from and to the airport). Long will we remember the felucca sail down the Nile the sightings of wild birds… of local fishermen…. The sounds of the call to prayer and the sights, the sights… temples and tombs everywhere. A truly memorable experience.

Linda knows everything there is to know about Luxor. She knows where to shop (Habiva) and where to get gold. She knows where to eat and how to best get around. She makes sure you are comfortable and if you can't find out where it is or how to get it done, she does. Everything from cell phone to personal contacts (Said) is first rate. Eid is her secret weapon. He knows everyone in Luxor I think. he even knows how to get a reservation at the Winter Palace Dining Room. Ride on his felucca, ask their advise and have a great time .We thought Luxor was a once in a lifetime experience. We were wrong. We will be back, a week just isn't enough time.

Thanks so much Linda & Eid for your hospitality. It has been another wonderful visit to your apartment and Luxor and very much looking forward to our next visit.

thanks for everything, take care
Adele & Michael

I stayed here for a week, joining my other half who had already been there a week.
We tremendeously enjoyed the accommodation and company.

Having stayed in Luxor several times, this was by far, the easiest and best way to stay. Our host were never short of tips, advices and the service was second to none in the friendliest way.
Highly recommended !!!!!!
