    I would like to thank Joanna for being an amazing host. The appartement was exceptional looks much better in reality than photos, it's very spacious and super clean. You have all the amenities needed, feels like home. Balcony sea view is exceptional, perfect for morning breakfast with beautiful nature around you and full view of the ocean. The bedroom is spacious and the mattress is so comfortable for a good sleep after a long and tiring day. Joanna was such an amazing host with her family as well. Every morning she was bringing Papaya for us from her garden and she even made very nice fresh breadfruit chips. Her husband Gustav is a such a nice person he took us to buy a sim card and dropped us to Anse major trail for our hike. Joanna was recommending very nice restaurants THE BOAT HOUSE which is creole buffet a must try place. She recommended what are the nice beaches to go. Everyday she would check on us to make sure we are enjoying our stay. To top it up you feel like you are staying in a 5 star hotel, everyday she will organise a cleaner to clean the appartment free of charge. Now we definitely know where to stay when we come back to Seychelles again, cause you feel at home. The appartment is literally 5 MINUTES WALK TO FAMOUS BEAU VALLON BEACH. THANK YOU JOANNA YOU WERE STUNNING.

    The owner was very helpful and met us upon arrival. She also helped us with our cab at departure, which was very early. The room was great; the bed was great, as was the shower. And it was great to have a laundry machine in the room

    Joeanne's apartment exceeded our expectations. The apartment consists of 2 rooms: a bedroom and a living room combined with a kitchen. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, even long-term. Everything was very clean, tidy, as shown in the photo. Cleaning was every day. There is a terrace overlooking the ocean. The distance to the beach is about 5 minutes on foot. We lived on the 2nd floor and didn't hear neighbors on the 1st floor at all. Joeanne is an amazing hostess, friendly, tactful and ready to help in any situation. I read a lot of good words in the reviews about her, and now I can confirm all of this. She arranged transfer for us from and to the airport, transfer to the ferry, a tour around the island. And all this at a great price. Upon arrival, she presented fruits from her garden and also presented fruits several times during our stay. Joanna also allowed us to stay until 9pm on the day of departure and didn't charge a single rupee for it. She regularly found out if we were satisfied. Thank you Joeanne for a great experience at your villa.

    Best of the best!!! These apartments won us over right away! Firstly, the view from the balcony-terrace of the mountains and the sea, I enjoyed it every day drinking coffee in the morning and a glass of cocktail in the evening. At the same time, the real distance to Beau Vallon is very close, 5 minutes on foot (it seems that it is far away, but it is not), if you face the ocean, then you will find yourself on the left side, there are always fewer people than in the center of the beach since in this part there is a hotel with villas and access to the sea, it is always clean and safe. Secondly, there is a good store nearby, with good prices, and there you can find everything you need). There is also a bus stop nearby, which is also very convenient. And the beach, and the store, and stop all on the same path in 5 minutes. Thirdly, the cleanliness and taste of the hostess. Everything is very, very clean, everything is thought out to the smallest details, you don’t need anything at all. Fourthly, this is the hospitality of the hostess, who made our holiday! A beautiful garden with fruits, treated. They made fish on the barbecue. We were treated to various steaks. Exceeded all expectations, we want to come back again!

    To have the aircon in the living area too. Hide the cables ref the TV area. Have some welcoming drinks (from the fruits in the garden for example) and snacks- local ones.

    The spotlessly clean appartment inclusive of the equipment, the friendliness of Joeanne,the quietness of the area and the garden area with the local fruits.

    Joeanne is an excellent host we highly recommend We stayed with her for almost a week, where she made sure we had a wonderful time with e. g. fresh fruits from her garden. The apartment is beautiful. It's safe and quiet. There is a supermarket close by. The kitchen has everything you need and it's under 10 minutes to the beach.

    The property is on a hill and parking was a bit difficult with the electric gate.

    It's a beautiful, clean, modern apartment but what I loved the most was our lovely host Joanne. She was very flexible with the check out time and made sure we were safe and happy in her place. She's even brought some fresh oranges from her garden.
