The guesthouse is the creation of Florian Amereller and Zeina Aboukheir, the current and former owner of Luxor’s Al Moudira Hotel, a cult destination that has been open since 2002 and under Amereller’s auspices has expanded to include private villas, new restaurants, artisan workshops and a working farm. Like Moudira, Villa Fayoum offers impeccable styling, a hodgepodge of gorgeous antiques, farm-sourced food and pool pavilions, but within a smaller and more intimate environment across just a dozen suites.
