    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Paradise — A Dream Stay in Seychelles! Staying at Alison’s apartment in Seychelles was truly a slice of heaven. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, the tranquility of the surroundings, and the impeccable hospitality. The property was spotless and beautifully maintained, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying coffee with a panoramic view of turquoise waters was sublime. Alison was the most wonderful host we could have hoped for. She was warm, welcoming, and full of helpful local tips — from hidden beaches to the best places to eat fresh Creole food. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed throughout our stay. The location was ideal — peaceful and private, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. Thank you, Alison, for your incredible hospitality and for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

    Everything was as excellent as it can be. The place itself is spotless and has a great view. Alison as a host exceeded our expectations! Helped us with transfers to Victoria, as we were also traveling to La Digue in between our stay at Villa Rousseau. The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities you might need. There are plenty of supermarkets near the villa and a small beach. For someone, who likes to swim, there is also Beau Vallon Beach, 3 bus stops away, which you can easily walk. Additionally, wanted to mention Vanessa and her helper, as they were always surprising us with some treats and overall, were very attentive and helpful. We had a very lovely vacation, which we enjoyed very much! Thank you!

    I like views and balcony. The balcony is very big. If you choose this hotel my recommendation you should have a car. The car solves many problems. Because buses are not comfortable their will wait long. The owner is adorable and pleasant. The flat is good and has a lot of space.

    The view is amazing. Nice to wake up to the sound of the ocean. The neighbor is really quiet and not too far from one of the beaches. The apartment was kept clean at all times and fresh towers were provided everyday. Madam Alison and her stuff were very helpful and nice.

    The place is immaculate and perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the proximity to the grocery shop and the bus station, as well as a short walk to the nearest beach and a short drive to Beau Vallon beach. The owner, Alison, is great and friendly and so is the amazing cleaning team. The apartment has everything you need, including laundry facilities, and a breathtaking sea view. Rooms are cleaned daily. We had fast wifi and cable tv. We opted for breakfast for the first day there, and it was amazing, placed for us in our own balcony. I would strongly recommend this place and hope to be back in the future!

    Alison is a great host, very friendly and always willing to help. The apartment is spacious with incredible views of the ocean. It is cleaned daily, which - of course - is very convenient. There is a small beach about 5 minutes from the house, if you prefer the Beau Vallon Beach, it's a 20min walk. Small grocery stores and bus stop close by. We had a great stay, thanks Alison!

    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.
