They give a warm and personal touch, not to mention their huge and friendly dogs.
The lodge is an architectural masterpiece created by Aldo himself. It's a beautiful retreat. I wish could get their cashew biscotti recipe hahaha. read less

The lodge was as beautiful and serene as all the photos available online depicted. I was set up in a Tower Room and the ocean view was such a delight! At night I loved to leave the balcony door open and get lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves.

The staff were friendly and efficient, always ready to assist and make my stay more comfortable and enjoyable. When you visit you must try the jacuzzi...blissful sigh! I needed a place to recharge after the crazy past few months we've had this year and The Charming Lonno Lodge did not disappoint in any way. I left feeling so refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated!

Some of the best food we had in Watamu was right here. We also had to work for a bit and the set up was ideal with great Internet. Can't complain when you're office for the day has a view of the sea.
Honestly, book it. You won't regret it! read less

With only eight characterful rooms, the hotel feels more like a private house and Silvia and Aldo take care of their guests like family.

If you desire a quiet holiday with few distractions this is the hotel for you. read less

What a perfect place to relax and enjoy the super rooms, wonderful pool and generous Italian cuisine provided by Aldo and Silvia. Aldo designed the whole site and created a peaceful haven including the garden with its many paths to swinging day beds under thatched roofs. The main building is a delightful thatched cathedral housing the small bar and restaurant and more sofas in which to pass the day. Beach walks to the nearby town and islands at low tide are a must. The staff and very friendly and proud of both the Lodge and their country. We shall return! read less
