    Alison is an exceptional host—friendly and always eager to answer any questions we had about Mahe. The apartment is spacious, offering stunning views of the ocean. Additionally, it's cleaned daily, similar to hotel service.

    The kitchen utensils were basic and need updating. We also would have liked a wider range of kitchen utensils like a coffee machine or a kitchen grater.

    Allison is a very nice, friendly and helpful host. We were able to get into the apartment early because it was empty on the day of our arrival. She can also help with a lot of advice where to go, what to see and how to do it. There are a few small food markets in walking distance and a bus stop just down the street (2 min walk).

    Very comfortable apartments. Modern and cozy furniture just as it on the pictures. 2 flat bathrooms made us great comfort as we stayed a family of four people. The kitchen well equipped with all necessary devices and cooking stuff. The view from the third floor was amazing. Also evening sunset dinners made us absolutely happy. Nice privet beach just 3 minutes walk. If you don’t want to drive far you always have very good beach alternative. Be aware that beach equipment (sun umbrella and towels) are not provided. Cleaning service is provided everyday except Sundays. Great! Parking area just in front of the of apartments. Highly recommended for stay of family of four or two couples. You will get high comfort and good location.

    We spent a week on the villa and it was wonderful! The apartment was great. The location is perfect. Our hosts Alison and Vanessa made us feel like precious guests in the family :) Each room had comfortable beds, air-conditioning, a private bathroom and access to a balcony with an ocean-view. The kitchen had all we needed for the cooking. And all the windows had a spectacular view on the mountains and the ocean and even a small waterfall. It was very close to a small beach which is really cool, with nice waters and lots of fish. We enjoyed snorkeling there and even saw a sting ray and a sea turtle there. The popular Beau Vallon beach is also pretty close, a walking distance or a couple bus-stops away. Bus stop "Bel Ombre Holiday Apartment" is just 3 minute walk from the villa. Some nice grocery shops are 5 minutes away by foot. We rented a car for several days, and it was comfortable to drive, because the place is not more than 1 hour away from any place on the island. Alison and Vanessa were always helpful with everything we asked for. From renting a car, getting a taxi, an excursion, cutting a coconut, providing all the information online 24/7 :) We are very grateful to dear Alison and Vanessa, we felt welcomed and they made our vacation a pleasant and comfortable one.

    Nothing to complain about.

    We had a perfect experience. The terrace provides a beautiful view of the sea. You can reach the beach in a 5 minutes walk; it is a beautiful and quiet tropical beach - sometimes we were even alone on the beach. There are a few restaurant options nearby; or you can cook in the fully-equipped kitchen. Twice, the housekeeping lady, Vanessa, actually prepared a very testy lunch for us - which was a pleasant surprise. The bus-stop is very close to the house and the buses take you to Victoria and other parts of the island for just 10 SCR (0.6€), so one day we went to see Victoria, the museum, the botanical gardens, etc. A popular hike to a secluded beach also starts in Bel Ombre, which is another activity you can do. There are boats to Silouetthe Island (which we didn't do) as well. Overall, this property is in a great location, very-well kept by the family that lives in the area, too. It is close enough to walk to the popular resorts for dinner and drinks, but far enough away from them to have peace and quiet. Thank you, Alison for making our stay so wonderful!

    We prefer firm mattress and soft pillows. But all in all it was bearable after active day spent on the beach we slept as babies anyway.

    Nice communication with Madam Alison from the very beginning; Possibility to book the villa without credit card; Amazing service by Vanessa _ breakfasts Simple but tasty and with a nice view to the ocean; Hints and tips on best places to visit nearby, and on transportation! The villa itself is nit and tidy, modern furniture, everything in a good shape, bath and beach towels are in place; good kitchen with all necessary utensils. Great location in between Beau Valon and Anse Major trail. There is a small secret beach just nearby as well with beautiful sunsets.

    Shower kit is not provided, cleaning is done on daily basis, but very indifferently. The day before our departure there were no cleaning at all. Seems that whilist we were alone in the buliding it was OK, but after 2 more remaining apartments were occupied - something went in the wrong way :-) There is no air condition in the living room, only fan. And as kitchen is combined with living area, it was very encovenient and hot to cook. Apartments are very well blowed through if you will open the window on the kitchen side and the door to the balcony from the other side, but - 1. your cooking fire will went out in this case, 2. moscitoues, moths and flying ants will attack you immediately in the evening :-) Generally we are satisfied with our stay, but for the next trip most probably will choose something else, more

    Good location, especially if you are by car. But even if not, you will find shops, cafes, beaches - everything within walking distance. Large bright rooms with beautiful view from the balcony. Well equipped kitchen, beach towels are provided. Vanessa (cleaning lady) will treat you every day with some yummy things :-) Comfortable parking area for 3 vehicles You can use gas-based barbeque on request

    Allison was a great host. She helped out with early check-in and all the tour arrangements like pick up and drop from airport, Island hopping tours and Mahe Island tour. She has a wonderful team who helps out with the checkin, housekeeping and transportation.

    Would recommend booking boat trips and tours through professional companies rather than through staff. Confirm use of credit cards, cc fees and other arrangements ahead of paying.

    The apartment, 3rd floor, is new and wonderful! Fully furnished kitchen with good size refrigerator, oven, toaster, electric tea pot, beautiful granite counters and island. Coffee, tea and condiments provided, as well as cooking pots/pans, cutlery, and dishes/cups, etc. Comfortable living room and balcony with marvelous sunset and ocean views. Good air flow throughout living spaces; ac in bedrooms. Beauriful bathrooms and cleaned daily, except Sunday. Good wifi. Helpful staff. Location is close to grocery stores, bus stops and churches, but not an easy walk to nice beaches or many restaurants.

    Sometimes communication across different agencies was a little difficult. Luckily Allison was there to help set things straight. The property wasn't an issue.

    Breakfast was great. The property owner was knowledgeable with thorough connections in the travel industry. I loved the location and the view.

    We got a little lost when we were looking for a home. Maybe a little more obvious navigation could be done. Also, the location may not be so convenient if you are traveling without a car. Otherwise, there are no complaints.

    This was an amazing place for staying. She is a wonderful hostess, very caring and understanding. The house is one of the most comfortable where we managed to stay. Impeccable view from the window and access to the roof. The house has absolutely everything for living, and when we needed washing powder, Alison kindly offered us hers. We noted how nicely the hostess greeted us and left the water and juice in the fridge, how she was interested in our condition. It was so cool, thanks a lot!

    I can’t recall anything.

    Absolutely incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we entered our flat which was based on 3rd floor with astonishing view to Beau Vallon bay, host Alisson and her main staff supperstar Vannessa exceeded our expectations like no one other! They made our stay really easy peasy and we enjoyed every moment at their hospitality. Apartmant is relatively in good location as centar of beau vallon is just 5 min away, cleanliness was found immaculate ( Good Job Vanessa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ) and turn down service offered as complimentary in daily basis. Wi fi connection was supper strong as we change couple of accommodations in Mahe, this was the best 5/5. Owner Alisson lives a house near by and she is there to assist with any small query’s. Property is relatively new, you get what you see on booking photos, no hidden costs and definitely I recommend Breakfast to be included in Your package as Vannesa really personalize service and spoiled us throughout our stay( highlight of our stay ) A/C 5/5 Natural wind refreshment 5/5 Sunset and Sunrise view 5/5 Attention to details 5/5 Communication and politeness 5/5 Parking 5/5 Welcome package for honeymoon 5/5 Suitable for families and couples also bigger groups. Once again Special thanks to Alisson and Vanessa for making us feel like home, best regards and see you soon. P.S. one week passed and we are still talking about Vanessa above and beyond treatment ❤️🙏🏻
