Difficile d'accès sans voiture ##### Romain Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2019 #### Très moyen. 5 personnes, en vacances. Grande maison, en hauteur, avec une très belle vue. Il faut une voiture, c'est loin de la route principale, mais en voiture pas trop loin de l'aéroport, et pas loin d'Anse Royale. L'état général de la maison a besoin d'être rénové. Accueil très moyen, petit déjeuner très, très "limite" (le beurre périmé le premier jour). Pendant notre séjour pas de connexion wifi du tout, apparemment à cause du mauvais temps un jour avant. Pas de TV non plus. Impossible de parler au propietaire, en voyage peut-être. On était isolés le premier jour, aucun moyen de communication. Le lendemain la personne qui a fait le petit déjeuner nous a donné une carte SIM pour exactement 2 petits appels locale à la personne qui nous avait accueilli. On a été dans d'autres hôtels aux Seychelles....., rien à voir avec cet endroit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 10 Jun 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 3 hours delay for check in, no any facility such as fridge, tv, dryer, drinking water etc in the room. Staff never gave me permission to use fridge and washing machine in lobby for using so rude and awful. I booked and paid for 3 nights but I stayed just for two nights because was so scary and nightmare. I booked this hotel because the review ratings was good but unfortunately was awful experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Philippe 19 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bonne escale, jolie vue sur la mer Escale d'une nuit a Mahe avant de reprendre l'avion le lendemain matin. Voiture indispensable si vous voulez bouger, ne serait ce que pour aller à la plage. Jolie maison bien entretenue, literie moyenne.pas de wifi dans la chambre. Tres bon accueil, le petit dejeuner nous a été servi a 5h30 avant notre depart. ##### Philippe Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lee 10 May 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hillside location with great sunrise view (albeit difficult to access on foot), property itself was alright but a bit old and jaded. Rooms were huge but needed maintenance....e.g. towel racks were falling off their fixtures, bed end was separating from the frame, ceiling fans were layered with dust, a/c was not working well, there were dead bugs in the bathroom and household lizard droppings along the window frames, light bulbs were blown....it felt like the property owner did not bother about upkeep and cleanliness....otherwise it would have been a fantastic place to stay. ##### Lee Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Super Gastgeber (Adrian) -tolle Kommunikation und Service.

Probably is better places with easier access ##### Ina Tvedt Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Monika 22 Feb 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Accommodation is suitable for travelers with car. The bathroom is faint. The room is not very clean. The kitchen is not allowed to used. Positive is a beautiful view, lots of possibilities for relaxation (more chairs). The host to shakes hand as a queen :D.

Adrian was a star in welcoming me and has the CLEANEST room ready for me, along with my welcome juice (always a part of a welcome on Africa and Asia, it seems...). My driver was a no-show the following morning and Adrian arranged super quickly a cab to get me to my ferry. This was after an AMAZING breakfast with world class bacon, eggs, toast... and wow the chirping of the birds int he al fresco dining spot was unforgettable. The place was UTTERLY silent and pitch black dark after hours. I don't think I have ever had such a type of quiet in my life. It was extraordinary. I didn't rent a car and was glad I had not... even though my driver had never been there before (he had no difficulty finding it because he asked around before driving me there.). It was remote. The morning views were lovely. There are only four rooms at Vila Citronella. I loved being in a large old house. The bed was SUPERB, the shower was good. I was quite comfortable for my short stay.

The room was decorated in a Marrocan style, which we liked. The internet didn’t work great in the room, but it was fine downstairs on the terrace. It is rather remote from the beach, so you really need a car, but the views from the balcony are stunning. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s254-pb1761f90-aa34-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s387-paed472a0-aa34-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s423-pb259a1c0-aa34-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s478-pb1d9ea70-aa34-11e8-96be-0242ac11000a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 3 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly and clean I stayed here for one night when I had a flight cancelation and needed something relatively near the airport and with airport pickup service. It was comfortable, very clean, and very friendly. The atmosphere was very peaceful, but there is not much that is easy to walk to. ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shiv 22 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### If you know nothing about Seychelles go here If it is your first time to Seychelles definitely go here. Adrian, the host at at the Villa, is the nicest, most helpful person in all of Mahe. He along with his strong network will ensure a smooth stay right from the time you land in mahe. From airport pick ups to local transport to food and activities to do on the island - he can take care of all those things. In fact he also helped arrange local transport on Praslin! Lets not forget the delicious breakfast and on request dinner he cooked both of which were amazing. The Family room was spacious and well kept with an excellent ocean view. Im probably missing out a bunch of other great stuff but seriously if one is going to Mahe, stay here and you're guaranteed a great trip! ##### Shiv Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 19 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Nice place in the mountains, but just a short bus trip from many of the sights. And the manager Adrian and his cousin were both very kind and helpful, going out of their way to help me plan trips. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Accueil au top, je n'ai pas eu le mail à temps pour me dire qu'andrea nous envoyait le transfert, bien meilleur marché que le taxi. Curtis nous attendait à l'aéroport. De très bons conseils quant à la vie locale. Bref adorable ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff and stunning location \- Villa is in fantastic and quiet location with stunning ocean and mountain view - but it's hard to find it. You must rent a car or get a taxi to reach this location which is on the top of a high hill and about 1200m from the east cost. - Staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. - Breakfast could contains more variety of food. - Dinner is simply perfect, I didn't eat better food on the island anywhere. - Cleanliness in the bathroom and bedroom wasn't the best but still acceptable. - Free parking place for 3-4 cars included. - Free Wi-Fi ( a bit slow) included. - AirCon included. - Interior lighting was week in our bedroom and bathroom. - Cloth/towel dryer wasn't included in our room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice room and friendly people The hotel is located on a hill with a nice view of the ocean. It is a villa containing a few different "hotel rooms" and a common area that can be shared. We had a huge room with four beds and a balcony. You want to go there by car and use Google Maps to find the hotel. The people working at the hotel are very friendly. The Wifi is good compared to other places at the Seychelles, but don't expect it to work as at home. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha 7 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Seychelles Beautiful villa on top of the hill with great views. You'd need to hire a car. Adrian was the perfect host and an amazing cook. Beautiful place beautiful island.
