Sam's Giardino

Information

Sam’s Giardino Hotel holds all the ingredients for a memorable stay on the central Namibian coast – personalised hospitality of the finest Swiss origin, meals and beverages satisfying a gourmet’s palate, a wine cellar housing treasures of Cape origin, relaxation in tranquil yet stimulating surroundings, and a great variety of exhilarating excursion and activity options within a 30 km radius.

To add some Namib Desert Experience, visit the fascinating plains of the Welwitschia mirabilis plant and the Moon Valley. A Marine Cruise promises encounters with dolphins, seals, Moon Fish (Mola Mola) and large colonies of aquatic birds such as flamingo and cormorant, or the Cape Cross Seal Reserve is situated only an hour's drive north of Swakopmund.

Each of the 9 cosy guest rooms at the Sam's Giardino is equipped with en-suite facilities, direct-dial telephone, heater and cuddly down-feather duvets for those chilly nights the Atlantic Ocean often holds.

A dedicated team led by Sam and his canine companions, Einstein and Ornella, ensures that guests are afforded opportunities for nurturing body, soul and mind. As a true 'boutique hotel", the Giardino offers a host of experiences ranging from daily wine tasting, a library of books and videos as well as comprehensive travel information on Namibia to relaxation around a fountain in the lovely gardens and culinary delights.

The 'savoir vivre' cultivated at this special place has not only earned the Giardino recognition far beyond the borders of Namibia but also the HAN Award of Excellence almost every year since its opening.
