We stayed at Lanavilla for 3 days in April, and loved it. Mic is a great host, sharing lots of tips on the non-touristy side of Muscat and Oman - which is how we found our favorite shisha cafe of the entire vacation. The downstairs area is wonderful, wide open, a good space to relax. Our room was on the... More

We stayed here because of the great reviews on Trip, and because hotels in Muscat are so expensive. Mic, the owner was incredibly helpful, going out of this way to answer several email queries before we arrived; about our travel arrangements and Oman in general. It is in a peaceful location overlooking the sea and right next to the Chedi.... More

We had a great time spending four nights in Lanavilla in October 2011. The place is clean, spacious and modern with a wonderful breakfast spread. It's a very sociable place with guests talking to each other round a big table at breakfast, sharing tips and experiences which we enjoyed a lot. The location is pretty good: quiet with the beach...

My partner and I spent 4 nights at Lanavilla on a recent trip to Muscat. The rooms are clean and comfortable and, as other reviewers have mentioned, Mic has done a lovely job of creating inviting and usable common spaces on every floor. The rooftop terrace is particularly pleasant with tons of seating and a great view of the sea.... More

My wife and I spent 2 nights at Lanavillas. Rooms were very clean and quiet, decorating was simple but tasteful, location on the sea was also a lovely surprise. Mic has done a great job of not only properly appointing rooms, and creating a number of "comfort zones" on the ground floor but also in putting in place a number... More

We spent 2 nights on Lanaville as a part of our roundtrip in Oman, and we can only recommend the place. The room was clean and nice, Mic was friendly and helpful, the food was fine, and we enjoyed the homely atmosphere, we even made one of our meals in the kitchen and enjoyed it at the roof terrace.

We had booked a sea view room for 4 nights, and one regular room for the last night. When we arrived - at noon, we were told that it was impossible to get our sea view room that day, because someone else was using it. We were not happy to hear that, after traveling to Oman, and a 20 minutes... More

unfortunately this booking problem occured because some other guests accidentally told me that they have booked the Seaview room and I had no chance at the time to check who of those guests were correct. I offered the new guests another room until I found out the problem. When I found out, I would have given the Seaview room immediately... More

Lanavilla is something of a pleasant surprise in Oman - a great place to stay and at a very reasonable price. Mic who runs the place is charming, most welcoming and full of help and advice. He has a couple of very friendly local taxi drivers who won't rip you off - on the contrary, trying to get Muhammed, our... More

This B&B is the only one in Muscat that is right on the ocean. There were many guests staying there but noise and congestion was never an issue. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Mic and his staff do a great job taking personalized care of everyone. It is located 15 minutes south of the airport and 15 minutes... More
