Glacis Heights Villa

The breakfast was really nice, lovely staff and Laura was really really helpful!

I'm 6'2, the shower wasn't built for people taller than maybe 5'10

The seaside view from the balcony and bedroom window was wonderful. Breakfast gets high marks.

The approach. Very very steep approach, difficult for senior citizens on foot.

Nice place and very nice people. Beautiful beaches around in the area. Amazing view!

We were happy with everything.

Всё понравилось! Вкусные завтраки, очень красивый вид на океан, джакузи, вежливый персонал, каждый день уборка. Уезжать совсем не хотелось! Спасибо Лауре!

Bardzo przyzwoity Guest House. Świetna miejscówka jako baza wypadowa do zwiedzania Mahe. Cisza i spokój, cudowny widok z balkonu na Ocean Indyjski. Piękne zachody słońca i lokalne nietoperze Rudawki, które żerowały na pobliskich drzewach. Sklep z podstawowymi artykułami w najbliższej okolicy. Dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Bardzo uprzejmy personel i smaczne, serwowane śniadania. Pokoje codziennie sprzątane. Laura pomogła nam wynająć samochód, który jest niezbędny.

Willa swoje lata świetności ma już za sobą jednak ciężko się do czegoś szczególnie przyczepić. Materac i poduszki w łóżku nie były wygodne jak na mój gust. Małe mrówki w pokoju. Podjazd do wilii bardzo stromy, tylko dla doświadczonego kierowcy.

Een hele fijne plek dicht bij het strand. Het appartement was mooi ruim en schoon. Het personeel heel vriendelijk en je kunt er heerlijk eten. Kortom: een aanrader!!

Le formidable accueil

La côte pour accéder au logement mais surmontable en prenant de l’élan

Personeelslid dat altijd aanwezig was. Hielp ons met alles en was zeer gastvrij.

De weg naar het hotel is een erg steile helling, maar met onze automaat auto was het goed te doen.

Staff was extraordinary willing to help and let us feel that we are on vacation. spectacular view from balcony

nothing

Výborná komunikace, velmi milý a vstřícný personál, čistý a nádherný pokoj s výhledem, funkční vana s vířivkou, pravidelný uklid pokoje, možnost praní zdarma, venkovní bazén, velmi chutné a bohaté snídaně, při příchodu nás hostitel obdaroval mísou ovoce, pravidelně nám doplňoval vodu v pokoji.

Slabá klimatizace - trvalo dlouho než se vychladil pokoj.

We loved our time at Glacis, the host was very very friendly and helpful. Everything was arranged well. Good WiFi. The room was a bit smaller then expected but the view truly made up for it. The location was good, near to the beach and shops. Nearest restaurant was a 15 min walk away. They cleaned the room very well everyday and we felt comfortable. And loved the pool!

Breakfast was nice but became a bit boring after a few days. Maybe some changes would have been nice! The hill the location was on was very steep, so you have to be able to walk well if you're moving around on foot. Also drivers helped us to get there so if you're not so mobile you can still get there.

Sehr netter Empfang und freundliche Mitarbeiter. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Berg zur Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr sehr steil, aber machbar zu Fuß. Gegenüber der Straße ist gleich eine kleine Bucht, in der es möglich ist zu schnorcheln - eine richtig vielfältige Unterwasserwelt. Ansonsten sind wir zum Essen zum Restaurant und Strand in den Norden gelaufen, dort hat es uns auch gut gefallen. Der Weg dorthin ist allerdings auf der Straße entlang, also mit Vorsicht! Abends unbedingt Lampe mitnehmen.

Die Zimmer sind recht hellhörig.

Service Quality

Location accessibilité not idéal

I absolutely liked nothing about this property!Every day trying to leave the property I had anxiety!

The location of this property is very dangerous!People should be aware of it!it’s on a mountain and going up and coming is very dangerous,any mistake and you fall you won’t be surviving it.The manager will lie to you that they will provide a car to take you down the mountain but once you done paying she will refuse to take you down.This property is the worst I have ever been to!If you wanna enjoy your vacation stay away from this place.

Supertolle Aussicht auf die Bucht. Ruhige Lage.

Sehr steile Zufahrt. Etwas abgelegen.

Die Lage etwas außerhalb von Beau Vallon ist super. Man kann direkt beim Vermieter einen Transfer bzw. Auto mieten. Das gesamte personal versucht den Aufenthalt perfekt zu gestalten.

L emplacement : sur les hauteurs de Glacis . La vue . Le coucher de soleil De belles petites plages à proximité avec snorkeling excellent Le petit déjeuner : servi sur le balcon .. qualité +++ On vous fait choisir la veille ce que vous aimé . Servi comme au restaurant . Très complet Les gentilles attentions à notre arrivée : de quoi faire à manger, à boire , de l eau pendant le séjour Là gentillesse du personnel La piscine .

La grimpée pour y accéder .

Todo en general pero descartaría el desayuno muy completo y que cada uno puede elegir la noche anterior, pero lo más destacable es el personal siempre atentos desde el chico del desayuno al chef pero especialmente Eunice quien cuida de nosotros como uno más siempre está allí para aconsejarte, contestar a todas tus prehuntas. Es todo muy facil. También el hecho de poder alquilar coche en el mismo hotel es realmente un punto positivo. Andando hay un restaurante a unos 6mn andando pero aconsejo alquilar coche y bajar a Beau Vallon para la cena. Buenas vistas, instalaciones de 10, habitaciones completas y tranquilas con terraza con vistas al mar.

Honestamente no puedo encontrar fallo...quizás el ruido del aire acondicionado pero en ningún momento te puede quitar el sueño

Nous avons aime la localité

Le problème était pour y accéder, une pente horrible

Tout était parfait. L'accueil, la chambre et son confort. On a eu l'impression d'être dans un hôtel et non une chambre d'hôte. Le petit déjeuner est superbe (choix, qualité, service...)

Les fruits au petit déjeuner ne sont pas des fruits locaux.

The accommodation was very nice. It looks just like in the photos. The rooms were beautiful and air-conditioned. The owners are helpful and accommodating. In the evening, the owner sat with us and recommended trips. Breakfast was ordered in advance – in the evening, we each chose what we wanted from the breakfast menu on a piece of paper. We were always satisfied. Right below the accommodation, there is a beautiful small beach. Additionally, getting around the island by car is effortless. There is a small grocery store under the accommodation. There is a small pool outside with a nice view of the ocean. Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely return. We recommend it! :)

Le professionnalisme du personnel très gentil et toujours prêt à rendre service ! La chambre était toujours très propre, le petit déjeuner agréablement servi avec un petit système de personnalisation du menu pour avoir un service sur mesure. Et enfin la vue magnifique sur l'océan.

Peu de chose que l'on apprecie pas... S'il fallait trouver quelque chose, ce serait juste l'accès qui se fait par une pente très raide difficile à passer même en voiture. Hormis ça, absolument rien à dire !

There was a very kind and lovely guy that helped us with the luggage, gave us infos about the surroundings and cooked breakfast for us. He was always smiling and supporting for us. we will not forget his cordiality. The panorama is nice and the position also good. Breakfast very good made fresh from the fantastic guy.

The place was nice, but unfortunately it was very difficult, almost impossibile to relax because there were multiple big nests of big bats near the stay, they flew and shouted all the time around the pool area, and we had them in front of our room too for the whole stay (they were hanging in front of a big tree just in front of our balcony). They shouted all day and night in a creepy way, making our time in the hotel very uncomfortable. Also, the room was smaller than expected, with no A/C (it was broken) and no telephone (even tough it was promised)!. The terrace was full of bats so difficult to enjoy and The shower was dirty, and there were no courtains so people from outside could watch us. The entrance door had 2 locks that was difficult to open so it felt unsafe for us because in case of fire we would have been locked inside literally.. Unfortunately, due to these problems, we had to leave the stay before our planned date, leaving the room empty for the last night even tough we paid for it. Also, very misguiding photos! They do not represent the reality. Our room was called "deluxe superior", there was nothig deluxe and nothing superior unfortunately....

Wir hatten ein schönen Aufenthalt in Glacis Heights Villa. Gebucht haben wir die Wohnung mit Gartenblick. Sie ist sauber, der Kühlschrank war für einen Start sogar schon mit Marmelade, Butter, Eier, Milch und Toastbrot gefüllt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Wünsche, werden insofern möglich umgesetzt. Der Garten ist schön angelegt. Der Blick aufs Meer toll. Eunice kümmert sich toll um Ihre Gäste.

Wie bereits in anderen Rezensionen geschrieben ist die Zufahrt mit der Steigung eine Herausforderung. Ob zu Fuß oder mit Auto. 1. Gang, konstante 20 km/h funktioniert aber einwandfrei. Leider hatten wir keine Möglichkeit bei schlechtem Wetter draußen zu sitzen. Es gibt zwar eine Holzbank und ein Tisch. Dieser ist jedoch auf einem Ameisenhaufen platziert. Der restliche Garten ist mit Pflanzenkübeln zu gestellt und die gesamte Fläche nicht überdacht. Der Ausblick zum Meer beinhaltet auch das Nachbargrundstück, welches vollständig mit Müll zugestellt ist. Die Einrichtung ist einfach, aber teilweise auch schon in die Jahre gekommen. Die Wohnung selbst ist ca. 30 Quadratmeter groß. Die Lautsprecher des Fernsehers sind defekt und klingen kratzig, das Sofa ist eigentlich ein Gartensofa und nicht wirklich gemütlich.

Perfect location

N/A

Quiet, peaceful environment. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was plentiful for us.

The road to the aaccomodation is very steep. It’s pretty tiring to do it on foot.

The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the breakfast was very tasty. You can rent a car directly from them. We highly recommend. Thank you for great stay!:)

My stay at this hotel was wonderful. The staff were very friendly, and the owner was helpful. The views from the balcony were beautiful, and the rooms were kept clean. In my opinion, the location was excellent, there was a small shop, a restaurant, and a quiet, beautiful beach very close by. It's a good idea to rent a car (available from the owner) to access takeaway options and explore the rest of the island.

The location is perfect, the nicest little beaches are nearby. A little shop is a 1 minute walk, restaurants 10 m. walk. Beau Vallon and Victoria are easily reachable by bus. (Once you figure out how the application works) The view is stunning and the staff is extremely kind. Thank you guys for your hospitality.

Extremely kind staff. We could always count on their help with anything. The breakfast was phenomenal. I would also like to especially highlight the kindness of the owners—it was an incredibly pleasant surprise. Furthermore, I must mention the immaculate cleanliness as well. Thank you to the entire villa staff for their work, helpfulness, and kindness. And a special thank you to the owners as well :)

Lovely villa on the hill top (a very steep hill mind you), the rooms were clean, comes with all the usual facilities- kettle, mini fridge, wardrobe, a blanket, beach towels, toiletries and our room had a jacuzzi spa bath with a view! The check in and out process was seamless. The breakfast was a feast- fresh fruits, hot breakfast (need to select what you want the night before), yogurt, juice and hot drinks. The pool area is in a separate villa (5 steps across the road) and is an eye pleaser. One could stay there all day! Be good if a mini fridge was also there by the pool chairs ;) the host is a lovely kind man who was caring and supportive of our needs.

Couldn’t say much about this. Simple room spiced up with the jacuzzi spa bath. Nothing concerning as we had a nice stay. Just have to be quiet and mindful of noise so as to not disturb the other guest room (all are on the first floor)

We had a great stay here. Location is perfect - just in front of 2 beautiful beaches. The owners are very friendly & helpful. They have a car rental possibility at the hotel: good prices + flexible pick/up & drop off options, which made our stay very easy. Brian picked us from airport with our rental car - and we also enjoyed the drive as he was sharing many stories about the island. We can highly recommend this place and would come back :)

Nothing, everything was good

Great staff! Eunice, Brian and Beryl made our stay amazing. Fantastic breakfast, beautiful view from pool, help with renting and car. You can really feel taken care there in a family atmosphere :)

Better to have car there :)

Everything. Room was spacious, clean with amazing views. Beautiful fruits trees all around, which makes it nice for bats observation. Sunset views and swimming pool on a nice location. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was big and delicious. You got everything needed. Staff and owner were super nice and very helpful. Trying to make our stay the most comfortable possible. We booked one night a dinner also, was very yummy. Close by nice beach reachable also by foot. Supermarket close by. I think they provide the possibility to rent a car. Also have some recommendations about taxi drivers. A possibility for a late checkout is also possible.

Extremely friendly! Very well situated, just a few minutes from a beautiful lonely beach. 2 small supermarkets are also quite close, where you can find all necessary foods. Views from the apartments are amazing. And many thanks to Brian and his wife for extreme hospitality! Definitely recommended for rest in Seychelles!

Only one: dish washing machine.

Very Nice location, but Could be a little tricky to get up The hill if you are an older person actually 🙏 But very quite and Nice helpfull staff that along with The owner dilevers a high class service and a friendly touch to your stay 👍🤩

The room was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with a very powerful shower. The breakfast was delicious and abundant, and the owner, Brian, was very friendly and helpful.

Beryl and Brian are great hosts making the stay a very personal one. We enjoyed their flexibility allowing us to upgrade to an executive room. Generally would recommend one of the standard rooms over the apartment, unless you are into self catering, as the rooms have a nicer view and are generally a little higher standard. Don´t miss their great breakfast on the balcony - made fresh to your personal selection. We also enjoyed the tips on travel and restaurants, overall a great stay to finish our vacation. Free wifi in good quality available as well - not a given in all places! If you need a rental car, Brian can take care of that as well ... and parking is available in front of the house too.

All has been great - there are not many restaurants or beaches in walking distance - but that we know beforehand and we had a car. So if you don´t plan on being mobile the location might not be so perfect to you. If you have a car it´s great as it is nicely located, short drive to beautiful beaches and you can enjoy the sunset on your private balcony.

- rich and variable breakfast - attentative staff - tiny and cozy beach in proximity with reasonable snorkeling - nice view and generously spaced balcony - mango tree right in front of the balcony, good for fruit bats observation

- access road is quite steep and could scare some unexperienced drivers (really need to go with 1st gear) and foot access for people with reduced mobility is impossible - sometimes illogically placed power outlets and lights switch - breakfast could be lengthly, as each meal is individually prepared

Very Nice stay at Béryl & Bryan place. Local Diner & very fresh breakfast were wonderful. Snorkling just down the villa is a must do with beautiful coral reef fishes and tortles. Thanks again for your warm welcoming.

Great host and staff. They are very kind and helpful. The house is very cozzy and has great views to ocean and Silhouete Island. close to Beau Ballon Beach

The slope access to the property, though it is not a problem if you go by car. The host offers car to rent

The environment

Nothing in particular

Lovely light and spacious room with a big bright bathroom including a spa bath and big shower, nice balcony with a view of the ocean. The same sun set view could be enjoyed from the pretty pool area. The corner shop down the drive way is very useful and just across the road from there is a secluded little beach great for snorkelling.

The employees were very friendly and welcoming. The room was okay and comfortable. The different facilities were accessible. It was very kind & we appreciated a lot that we were given extra few hours to enjoy our stay.

It would have been nice to have a more comfortable couch in the self-catering apartment.

Staff- Nihar's behaviour is ok. Brian-owner is good, helpful.

Picture of the property showing in the Booking.com is not matching with reality Location of property is at high level from the road level, access road is very steep, not so easy to walk, you have to be physically strong. For ladies, it will be very tough. No arrangement for lunch in property, first day we suffered, restaurant is very far from the property, Finally I have to request Brian, arranged something from supermarket, somehow managed. Dinner arrangement in the property at national holiday and Sunday is not available. Very Costly compared to facilities.

The owner of the apartment, Brian, is a special guy who really is enjoyable to talk to. The accommodations themselves for what we rented was a bed and breakfast, not self-catering, but we managed in any case. Unfortunately we arrived on a SUnday and Monday was a national holiday so they did not offer dinner. However, Brian went to a local store and got us a very good pizza and bottle of wine which held us over. Our balcony had a lovely view of Silhouette Island and the possibility of lovely sunsets. They had parking available for all guest. We particularly enjoyed breakfast on the veranda. This island has many flying foxes (fruit bats) and right next store is an enormous mango tree. Well the bats love mangoes and we literally spent hours watching them swoop into this magnificent tree, fight with one another and then eat the mangoes. It was like being in a nature reserve up in the trees! The german couple who were there at the same time were equally excited to watch these enormous flying foxes. There is also a pool at the property.

The road up to the property is steep, steep, steep. When you get a message to put the car in lowest gear, turn off the AC and maintain a minimum of 20 km/hr to get up the hill, you know you are in for something. Since most rental cars on the island are Hyundai i10, there isn't that much power so rev the engine and shoot up that hill!

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and proper rooms with air condition and a big balcony to enjoy the sunset.

Nothing

Great views, lovely host and all you need in the apartment.

No complaints - just the advice that you should rent a car to get around from Glacis.

Lovely owners & staff, very well located, beautiful views/sunsets, breakfast made with love

Everything was perfect. The service was great and with a personal today touch. We loved the breakfast too. The location is really nice as well and the hosts offer car rentals as well which i highly recommend.

Amazing property, best location , adjacent to beach , picture perfect location, I booked a standard room and luckily got upgrade and they have breakfast option. Mr Brian was so kind to explain and guide me with the top places I can visit in my quick holiday. Staff Nahid and Shariful was so helpful. Overall good experience.

Absolutely nothing.

Great and friendly staff. The owner made it feel like home. They had a lot of good tips. Also the breakfast was great!

Friendly and helpful owners and staff, balcony area with great views and where one had breakfast, convenient parking, beautiful local beach good for snorkeling, lucky enough to see a turtle, and the entertaining fruit bats in the evenings.

The bed was a little too hard, ok for me but not my wife. The perhaps overcautious use of security measures.

The location was great! The property was very friendly and the staff extremely kind. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast every day. We also had the chance to have dinner once, and we really regret not having repeated that experience!

nothing!

clean and nice, great breakfast, very nice staff and owner. wonderfull view from the top balcony

Brian was extremely helpful in organising our stay, especially as we had requested a car for the 2 days. The check-in process was imformative and friendly and welcomed with a refreshing drink. The room was excellent with a great view over the sea, the breakfast choices were good and was very well presented. Brian's staff took us to the airport for a later flight, which mitigated the need for a taxi. There was a nice little beach at the end of the really steep road to watch our last holiday sunset from. Restaurants were local and very good.

Did not spend enough time there. Nothing to dislike.

Excellent breakfast served every morning on your chosen time with a nice variety of egg dishes ,pancakes, fresh fruit and more. Brian was very nice , friendly and helpful. All our requests were fulfilled 110 present ! All the useful info was given with a plenty of goodwill. The staff is very polite and helpful so our stay could not be better !Thanks a lot

Nothing we could think of.

Brian and Beryl are amazing hosts and we immediately felt welcome once meeting them. Both are very friendly and extremely helpful with whatever you need when coming to the Seychelles. Same applies to their staff. • Picking us up at the airport after an exhausting long distance flight was just one of many positive aspects of our stay. • Uncomplicated and reasonably priced onsite car rental is yet another bonus of the Glacis heights villa (highly recommended if you desire to explore the island of Mahé). The automatic transmission cars are in excellent condition and fit the hilly roads of Mahé. • Breakfast was plentiful and was always prepared freshly with love and dedication. • We also had dinner 4 times which we can highly recommend as you get a good taste of the Kreole cuisine. It is always freshly cooked on demand (fresh fish and local specialities for dessert... mhmm) • The area around the villa is very quiet which is excellent if you are looking for relaxation and good sleep. • The view from our balcony was priceless. • Our room was cleaned every day (plus fresh towels daily) • The room itself is in good shape and was fine for our needs. One highlight is the bath tub with massage nozzles and amazing view to the sea (a must try at night time if you want to listen to the soothing noises of the sea and the surrounding nature). • Nice west side beach in front of the house door. Great to swim at sunsets

Brian is an exceptional host. He goes further and beyond to accommodate the wishes of his guests and make them feel at ease. Both staff members are really nice and helpful as well. The property is tidy and clean, the rooms are nice and spacious and breakfast is wonderful. I would certainly book again and most definitely can recommend this place to other travelers.

Nice apartment with excellent view. Brian was very friendly and helpful. He also gave us the option of late ckeck out!!! All great!!!

Nothing!

wonderful place, hospitable hosts! they helped us to rent a car and get transfers, told about market and interesting places, even gives us a breakfast at 5 o’clock before we go to airport. nice family with beautiful villa. perfect perfect point of view to sunset! we recommend this place for sure 🥰❤️

nothing

Fantastic location within 2 minutes from the private beach (you simply go down the hill and there it is). It is great that you can rent a car directly from the hosts with a very affordable price. Brian (the host) gave wonderful recommendations for the area - where to eat, which beaches to visit, where to book excursions. A very well trained staff in the villa that serve you breakfast (probably the best service we have had from Day 1 to Day 5 in the Seychelles) - always smiling, explaining the dishes they are serving, making up the room perfectly. Brian also helped us exchange euros into rupees with a good exchange rate (as per the central bank - which is better rate than in the city).

The place was so beautiful and super clean. Bryan, the host was so kind and helpful assisting us on everything we needed. In front of the villa was a tiny beach very private and not crowded and we enjoyed spending the day there so much. Highly reccomend this place for families that are planning a long stay as the villa inclueed all the nececities and to those who want to have a relaxing vacation ❤️
