Located at Cantonment Road, off King Harman Road in Freetown, Lac’s Villa has these peculiarities that rendered its difference from the others. A short walk from the gate to the front desk could be likened to a walk-in a utopian world where the ecosystem is perfect and intact.

The flourishing blooms and exquisite lodging layouts complete the grandeur and serenity of the scene.

My short visit to the spot was received with a worthwhile reception that made bare the phrase ‘home away from home’. From the manager to the grounds maintenance, everyone was prompt, kind and friendly. Perhaps their small size gifts them that leverage but I like to think that such a welcoming attitude is just part of who they are and who they were since all these years (based on previous customers feedbacks). Their accommodation offerings include spacious and attractive bedrooms and apartments for long term stays with bright and spacious living rooms and kitchens with cutting-edge appliances. The establishment provides fast Internet service, air conditioning (In all its rooms) and 24 hours of power supply.

Most of the foods served are directly sourced from the ground. The establishment has its own garden where ingredients are readily plucked and used to prepare the food as per the customer’s request.
