Breakfast oceanfront was amazing

Stayed in May 2024

Nothing.

The pictures reflect the reality. The guest house is newly built and the interior is quite new as well. Great value for money! We had planned most of our activities in advance, but the charming hosts helped us with the transfer from the airport upon arrival. Marte and Alfred can give good tips and offer a solution to most of the challenges one might have during their stay. The people of that wonderful country are very friendly and relaxed, but if there is an obstacle you should consider calling a friend for solving the issue. Renting a car is probably the most reasonable choice. We choose to hire the same driver that took us from the airport for that purpose. The nice and clean car, combined with the careful driving made our trips a real joy.

You need a car as it is in a hilly area.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. All what you need is available in the room. I recommend this place.

Just know that it's better to be with the car. The water is close on foot, but for swimming it is better to use a car.

Everything is very wonderful! beautiful view, has everything you need for living with children. special thanks to the responsive owners! The house is on a hill, the apartments are always fresh. beautiful, new and modern house, well-kept grounds, everything was done with love!

Nothing. Everything was 10/10.

Our stay at LaVida selfcatering apartments felt like home, away from home!. Alfred and his lovely wife have created a little paradise and they have paid attention to every single detail an apartment should be equipped with. Upon checking in, they welcomed us and made sure nothing was missing during our stay. Always with a smile and always polite and discreet. The apartment was super clean, perfect wifi, stylish decoration, fully equipped kitchen, and the view was breathtaking! Not to forget there is an option for breakfast and we were glad we chose it.The breakfast was superb. We really enjoyed our stay. We booked the apartment with sea view. We highly recommend La Vida Selfcatering apartments!

Everything, but mainly the friendly welcome and service

everything was fine!

That was excellent accommodation with a great ocean view. During the trip we stayed in five different apartments and villas. These apartments are the most clean, new and well equipped, there is a kitchen with everything you need, a washing machine and a dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine. The hosts are very welcoming, willingly told about all the interesting places, food places, and also gave contact to a person with whom we then went on an unforgettable ocean fishing trip. The children were delighted with Alexa (the music station) and the garden around the house with fruit trees. Upon request, the owner was ready to help with the grill, but we did not use it. We paid for breakfast separately and it was always big and different. I highly recommend it for your holiday! Thank you

Very nice apartment with beautiful view from the terrace and very kind hosts as well. House is not at the beach, but this is obvious from the map. Btw, the beach is close with some restaurants and take aways. We got lots of useful informations on arrival which helped us make great time on Mahe. They also arranged car rental on short notice for reasonable price. Whenever we needed something, they were there for us. I can only recommend.

beautiful view of the ocean, cleanliness and equipment, comfortable beds, very friendly and helpful owner, privat parking

Stayed in July 2023

Cant criticize anything at all about the property of the lovely hosts, but guests should note that payment is in cash and a car is strongly recommended given the local supermarket is currently not operational.

Home away from home, with everything needed for a very comfortable stay. gorgeous views with beautiful sunrises over Turtle Bay (Au Cap). 2 double bedrooms, both en-suite, with aircon and wifi, and secure parking. But the highlight was the hosts, Alfred and Marthe were so very kind and considerate, and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was comfortable - they organized a hire car to be delivered to the property for a reasonable Eur50 per day, and when we said we wanted to bbq that night, set up the outside area for us including fresh coconuts! They even kindly provided us with beers, bread etc when we arrived late the first night not realizing there was no supermarket in walkable distance!

The wi-fi strangely had a very weak signal, even though the router was in the main room. But it wasn’t too much of a problem for us as we purchased a local sim and mainly used that.

A very comfortable apartment, which has everything you need plus an amazing view of the bay. The hosts, Marthe and Alfred, were very hospitable and helpful with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

The apartment is very beautiful, you can find there every kind of equipment you need. The terrace have stunning view, It is really nice place to enjoy the atmosphere of the island. Hosts are really very kind and helpful with everything. They arranged a taxi and car rental for us, even invited us for some grilling. It was our best vacation thanks to Alfred and Marthe. I would highly recommend stay here to everyone.

The location is excellent. The area on the island La Vida is located on is on the eastern side BUT the suburb is outside of the very busy part of the island so going getting to most other parts of the island was easy and not through too much traffic (unless going to Victoria). La Vida has a beautiful view of the ocean and you can walk to the beach. Our hosts, Alfred and Marthe were most gracious and helpful. Once we arrived, they organized car hire, a deep-sea fishing trip and advised other excursions we wanted to experience. We thus always got the "local" knowledge and local cost, not the "foreigners" rate that sometimes get levied on visitors. They also willingly shared their knowledge of the Island, where to go and what to do. We would not hesitate to recommend La Vida to anyone wanting to experience the Seychelles and Mahe Island.

Great hosts, who provided us a warm welcome and gave us very good recommendations on what we could visit. Location is perfect to explore the island north and south. The apartment had everything you could need and it is nicely decorated. Great view from the balcony.

The apartment is beautiful! Everything is provided to the smallest detail. Very cozy! The terrace is amazing! Absolute silence, comfort and everything you need for a luxurious stay. I know reviews are always interested in specifics, so, I will write simply - the apartments are equipped with everything you need!!! From beach towels to (sorry for the clarification) - a baby seat in the bathroom. All you need to bring with you is a toothbrush, sunscreen and a great mood!!!! :)) We were without a car, but it didn't bother us at all. Nearby are bus stops, a small store (minimal selection, but if you need something from simple - you can always buy), take away and a very nice restaurant. Believe me, the photos are great, but in reality it's even better! Alfred and Marthе, wonderful, helpful and hospitable hosts. We are very grateful for our wonderful vacation to Alfred and Marthе. Next year if the Seychelles waits for us, we will definitely stay only at La Vida!

The place was far better than I had hoped for. Its a very well built and maintained building. The host, Alfred and his wife were very accomidating and went out of their way for us on a couple occasions. We stayed for 4 days there and he was instrumental in getting us a ferry trip that we may have otherwise missed. Also, He graciously let us keep our luggage that we were not using anymore (dirty laundry!) at his property after we left for more island hoppng. As it turns out, the nicest beach on the island IMO is Anse Royale, and its a 10 minute ride from the apartment. I would highly recommend this establishment.
