My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Dar and Douce for our honeymoon. It’s a well-kept, self-serviced property that offers excellent value for money with a very personal touch. The owner was extremely helpful, sharing local tips and a referral to a personalized tour guide that surprised us at a unique location—an unexpected highlight of our trip. The location is excellent and exactly as described: close to the beach, two restaurants, a fast-food option, and nearby tourist attractions. Everything matched the listing perfectly, with no surprises for a private stay. Comfortable, well-located with genuine hospitality at a great price. We would gladly return and highly recommend it.

The property is quiet and the hosts are very welcoming. It’s conveniently located within walking distance of the craftsman village, a restaurant, and the beach, and having a parking space was a plus. While we enjoyed the area, we highly recommend renting a car for more freedom—just be prepared for a very steep access road that requires good hill-start skills! Our only disappointment was the sleeping arrangement. Despite booking for two adults and two children, the advertised sofa bed was just a standard sofa. Although the host kindly provided an extra single bed, sharing one double and one single bed between four people wasn't ideal or comfortable. It’s a lovely place, but the bedding description needs to be more accurate.

Great place

The room was huge, with a kitchen, sitting area, dining room table, large balcony with an ocean view, large bathroom and large bedroom. The hotel is walking distance to some attractions/places to eat and drink, a little grocery store, and the bus stop. Peter is a great host and accomodating, as well. I highly recommend this place.

The place had a great view. Bed was super comfortable, good wifi. The owners were very sweet and helpful. I was even able to book transport with their help. The beach is a short walk and there is a little mini market right next to it. I was also able to walk to the couple restaurants and the Rum distillery. Definitely great value here.

The property is very specious. The view is amazing. The bus stop is very close to the property and I only used the buses to go around. There is a beach you can walk in 10 minutes but if you take the bus in 10 minutes you can go to Anse Royale beach which is much nicer.

The property had spectacular views of the ocean from the balcony. The apratment was well maintained and cleaned regularly. The only downside was that I did not have a car and the hill to the property was quite steep but managable. Transport and the beach was within walking distance.

It was our first time in Seychelles and the experience was definitely unforgettable and amazing ! The condo was clean, quiet and very comfortable with everything equipped. Location was perfect for us. Close to the beach, dinning and bus stop where we were able to get a bus to any location. Very safe. People were very warm and welcoming and property owners very sweet. We want to thank them for every given day to us and for making us feel home while being on vacation. Very clean too. We have our condo cleaned daily and had new sheets. We will be back and for sure at the same spot.

Everything was excellent from the start to the end of our stay. Peter was an amazing host! Super friendly and helpful in every way and beyond. We will never forget him and his wonderful family. Apartment was very nice and clean with separate aircons both in the bedroom and living room. We were supplied with plenty of clean towels throughout our stay and new bedsheets. Nice and quiet beach in walkable distance from the property as well as a bus stop to take you to the town or Anse Royal beach which takes just a couple minutes to get to by bus and is really beautiful. Small grocery shop just 1 minute walk away. Local people are very friendly and nice to talk to. This place was the best we could ever ask for and if we ever come back to Seychelles we know where to go :-) This really is a piece of heaven on earth. No wonder why people are so happy here.

A Magical Holiday Experience at Dar & Douce, Seychelles Our 13-night stay over New Year 24/25 at Dar & Douce in Au Cap was absolutely wonderful. Despite the rainy season, the Seychellois warmth—both in climate and hospitality—shone through, making our vacation unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Peter and his daughter Guyanne, along with the wonderful housekeeper Janine, made us feel right at home. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and readiness to help with solutions to any queries were exceptional. Peter’s resourcefulness in arranging car hire, recommending fantastic restaurants, and guiding us towards hidden gems around the island was invaluable. The property itself is comfortable and charming, offering excellent value for money. The peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Dar & Douce is more than just a place to stay—it’s a wonderful haven from which to experience the true essence of Seychelles. We’re so grateful to Peter, Guyanne, and Janine for their care and hospitality, which turned our holiday into a special and memorable experience. We will be back, for sure. It was a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you!

The apartment was very nice. Very large. No view from downstairs apartment. Basic dishes. Sugar, milk and tea provided. Full kitchen. Large bathroom. Iron and ironing board. TV channels in a lot of languages. Sufficient secure parking. Residential neighborhood in the hills. Our problems: It was not communicated to us that we had to arrange an exact time to be at the property to meet the owner for formalities. You have to keep in touch by phone (WhatsApp). You cannot get into the parking area unless someone opens it from the inside. You need a gate opener once you are checked in. The access is extremely steep. Our little manual rental car almost didn’t make it up and in. The living room air conditioner leaked and we had a lot of water on the floor. Since we only stayed for two nights and knew that the owner was busy, we didn’t get it fixed. It gets hot there! You have to keep the curtains closed. We had to leave very early and couldn’t reach the owner. Then you have to have someone keep the gate open and take the keys back to the room and come back to get out. There is no separate door. If you can figure out the logistics, it’s a nice place!

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit im Dar and Douce und der Vermieter ist wirklich super nett und immer erreichbar. Das Apartment war geräumig und hatte alles, was man benötigt. Fehlende Dinge hat der Vermieter zügig zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Apartment liegt in einer ruhigen und netten Nachbarschaft und ist auch nicht weit zu einer Bushaltestelle. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen. Das Apartment liegt an einem Hang und der Weg bei hohen Temperaturen und hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit ist teilweise beschwerlich. Da sollte man wissen. Das Schlafzimmer konnte man leider nicht richtig abdunkeln, da die Vorhänge zu klein waren und es hätte noch ein bisschen sauberer sein können (Schränke, Schubladen). Auch war es recht hellhörig Ansonsten alles super.
