The Charming Houses

Villa Margherita, The Charming Houses, is a small luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Swakopmund consisting of four stylish buildings which are all located close to each other on the same premises.

At the beginning of the last century, the building was called, Dr Schwietering Haus and served as the private residence of Swakopmund’s first doctors, Mr & Mrs Schwietering.

The Cottages were formally the stables of Dr. Schwietering’s horses. He rode his beloved horses every day at sunset through the dunes, which at that time, came all the way to the doorstep of the property.

Today, Villa Margherita stands as a fusion of contemporary art and historic colonial buildings. With beautifully manicured gardens and double rooms, most of them having a private lounge area, Villa Margherita offers seclusion and personalised service.

All the rooms offer a flat screen TV, safe, complimentary tea/coffee station, hairdryer and free wireless internet connection and room service.

Organic bistro with a great selection of wines and spirits
Professional massages

We look forward to fulfilling every wish while ensuring you feel utterly pampered and special.
