Great and friendly people. Very pretty and helpful owner of this property. Guy who was doing housekeeping also helpful and giving me support all the time on whats app when I needed. No problem with earlier check in and out. Car rental is available also in good price, 50-55€ per day for new SUV car. Really recommend. Thank you for two weeks. Will back in the future. Tom

Nous rentrons tout juste de notre merveilleux séjour aux Seychelles. Sur Mahé, nous avions sélectionné cet hébergement. L'appartement (Cuisine, Salle de douches avec wc, chambre avec grand balcon) très propre, grand, calme et disposant d'une vue à proprement époustouflante sur l'Océan Indien. La propriétaire et ses enfants sont très aimables, souriants et bienveillants.Nous vous encourageons à y séjourner, vous ne serez pas déçus !! (Possibilité de garer votre véhicule)...Un grand Merci à vous tout était parfait!. Mr et Mme Gérardin 18/03-31/03
