Oasis of peace, tropical tranquility

Vivez la vraie Teranga! Votre maison, loin de chez vous

Welcome to a place where hospitality is not just a word, but a way of life. In Senegal, Teranga means more than just a warm welcome; it is the art of treating every guest like family, ensuring that no one ever feels like a stranger. When you stay with us, you are not just booking a rental—you are stepping into a world of comfort, culture, and connection.

My Story

Born in France to Senegalese parents, I have always felt deeply connected to both cultures. From the age of two, I traveled to Senegal every year, strengthening my sense of identity as Franco-Senegalese. With a love for languages—I speak over five fluently—and an even greater love for food, I believe that meals are more than just sustenance; they are a way to share stories, traditions, and community.

Now based in the UK, I have embarked on a journey to build a home from scratch in Senegal—a space to reconnect with my roots and invite others to experience the warmth of Teranga. I also wrote a book, Sunpo ndo Xati (Belly Button and Milk), a reflection on heritage and the universal ties that connect us all. A copy is available in the house for guests to enjoy.

Beyond my love for hospitality, I have created a family board game and run a supper club, where I share the flavours of Franco-Senegalese cuisine. For me, life is lived through food, the Teranga way—with open hearts, shared meals, and meaningful connections.

Just as Senegalese traditions bring people together around a shared bowl, our home is designed for togetherness, laughter, and relaxation. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends, there’s always room for you here. We believe that a home should be more than just a place to sleep—it should be a space to create memories, share stories, and feel truly welcome

Thoughtfully Curated Decor

Every corner of the house reflects a blend of craftsmanship and cultural inspiration. The centerpiece is the handcrafted floating staircase, a true labor of love, designed and built with care. Adorned with Southern African décor, it adds a unique artistic touch, celebrating the rich heritage of the region. From carefully selected textures to authentic design elements, every detail in the house tells a story—one of tradition, creativity, and the warmth of Teranga

State of the art amenities

Our home is designed for comfort and style, with a beautifully curated kitchen at its heart. Every tile has been handpicked to blend modern elegance with Senegalese charm. Fully equipped with top-tier appliances and ample space, it’s perfect for cooking, gathering, and experiencing the warmth of Teranga

Dedicated office space

Authentic & Inviting Atmosphere – A cosy retreat where you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive with its dedicated office space and high-speed fibre internet. It is designed for both productivity and relaxation

A Story of Connection

My book, Sunpo ndo Xati (Belly Button and Milk), explores the deep ties that connect us to our roots, our heritage, and each other. It’s a journey through identity, tradition, and belonging—just like this home. A copy is available for you to read during your stay, inviting you to reflect, discover, and experience the spirit of Teranga in a whole new way
