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
