Confortable house, amazing location, great view on the Nile, with the feluka boats right in front of the house, wonderful nubian hosts. one big problem : to access the house, need to go through movenpick, was fine for the first couple of days, but for some reason at the end of our stay the movenpick guards wouldnt let us through, almost got into a major fight with them, just so they could allow us to walk 30 seconds into the hotel to reach our house, and despite the fact that my parents were staying in the hotel ! very rude guards, and it really would have made no sense if they had forced us to take the public boat which was much more complicated.

"Une maison absolument charmante, dont les propriétaires, polyglottes, le sont tout autant, à la fois discrets et attentifs, prêts à nous donner tous renseignements utiles pour un séjour là-bas, à nous accompagner si c''est nécessaire pour nous guider dans les arcanes du "commerce égyptien". Tout est propre et confortable. La vue sur le Nil est majestueuse et reposante, Catalina, la propriétaire, tient aussi un accueillant petit café en contrebas de la maison, au bord du Nil où elle sert des rafraichissements, du thé, du café turc ou du bissap (boisson à la fleur d''hibiscus), ainsi que des plats simples et délicieux. Il est extrêmement facile de se rendre à Assouan en prenant une navette et à partir de là, maints lieux de visites sont possibles. Nous avons déjà recommandé chaleureusement cette adresse à nos amis. denis et odile de nantes "

"Nous avons passé 4 jours délicieux dans cette maison nubienne de l''île éléphantine. Tout a été plus que conforme à la description:charmante maison véritablement les pieds dans le Nil, joliment décorée et bien équipée, terrasse avec une vue époustouflante sur la dune d''Aswan et l''île Kitchener.Très calme et bon accueil local (propositions de promenades en felouque etc...). Un point de détail qui ne nous a pas gêné mais qui peut ne pas plaire: la maison est au bord du village nubien,plutôt bien entretenu et peuplé de villageois très discrets et amicaux, mais les maisons ne sont pas toutes restaurées et c''est un vrai village avec des chèvres dans les ruelles. Nous espérons revenir dès que possible dans cette maison et y passer toute une semaine la prochaine fois."
