Residencial Villa Nagardás

⸻ I recently stayed at Residential Villa Nagardas, in Quelimane City, Mozambique, and had a lovely experience until the end of my stay. The villa itself is top-notch, offering a beautiful and comfortable environment. However, my departure was marred by a lack of communication from the staff. No one informed me that I needed to vacate the room, and while I was working in front of the room, they added an extra full day to my bill without any warning. This was quite surprising and something I have never encountered in any part of the world. Additionally, on my last day at the restaurant, I was presented with the full balance to pay without any breakdown of what I was being charged for. Since I was in a hurry to catch my plane, I didn't have time to argue with them. Despite these issues, the villa is a great place to visit. However, I personally will not be returning due to these hidden traps and scams. I would recommend it to others, but advise them to be cautious and watch out for these potential pitfalls. Thanks, Carlos da Maia ⸻

Nice place to stay in Quelimane. Comfortable rooms (I stayed in one of the "chalets" around the mature garden) with everything functional : A/C, shower, even a small mini-bar. ||||Good restaurant on site.||||And full breakfast served on time. We had to leave early and were informed the breakfast would be served at 6:00, which was the case. Well done!

This is lovely property with rooms in the main house and few others in the garden. The rooms in the main house can be noisy because of the proximity to the kitchen, the rooms in the garden are my preference. For Quelimane this is one of the best options, clean, well located and good breakfast. Attached to it there is a restaurant which make it easy for dinners.

This is a lovely place, with spacious rooms that are well-equipped for business travelers as well as tourists. Excellent bathroom. Of the garden cottages and the internal rooms, I prefer the latter, mostly because of the privacy and because they are quieter (if the restaurant is busy). Decor in rooms and shared areas is tasteful and well-chosen. There is a sense that the owners actually care about the place. The only negative was that the receptionist was extremely unfriendly - an exemplar of that particular group of hotel employees whose members feel that they are doing one a favour by deigning to respond to a question. Breakfast was excellent, and service there (and in all other aspects) was very good indeed. Compared with the other 'best' hotels in Quelimane, this is streets ahead in terms of value for money.

Villa Nagardas is the best place to stay in Quelimane. I has the charm of a B&B, a great restaurant, nice garden, is quiet, but there are some issues. First, the internet is slow and inconsistent. Other places (Hotel Elite) have much better internet. The second is they have become so popular and are almost always booked, so they do not go the extra step. I was going away for one night for a field visit and asked if I could store my luggage somewhere, rather than taking it on a 4 hour dusty trip in a pick-up. They told me that I would have to pay the full price for a room ($65) to story my bag for a night. Also, when reservation adjustments were made 2 weeks in advance, they would not agree to refund any of the money. Lower level staff are great, but the management is just not concerned. Note that they also have 3 different sleeping areas, the individual chalets, the rooms attached to the main villa and Villa 2, which is about 1/2 a block away and has no restaurant. The restaurant, which is very good, is owned by a separate owner and you are not able to charge to your room.

Nagardas is a lovely small hotel in downtown Quelimane. The location is great and it is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac. The rooms and beds are nice, with good service everyday. The food at the restaurant is fantastic and the courtyard where the restaurant sits is beautiful. On the downside, the internet is slow and goes down often. Making a reservation can also be difficult. The hotel is not very responsive to E-mail , so WhatsApp is perhaps the only way to get in touch with them.

I have stayed at Villa Nagardas many times for work. I am always excited when I can stay here, as it can get super busy. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff are nice and breakfast is great! The on site restaurant serves really good food, albeit very slowly!! But still, i find the lovely garden setting a really relaxing getaway during a busy work trip.

Villa Nagardas is absolutely wonderful. Courteous and friendly staff. Delicious food. Upon asking for anything or assistance the staff immediately responded. Clean, beautifully decorated rooms. And a Spa is about open in a couple of months! I recommend this place. And plan to return.
