Maison Du Soleil Self Catering

Vincent is a super helpful host who helped us to get the permit to access Anse Georgette. The location of the house is on top of a hill with amazing views both for the sunrise and sunset, we enjoyed a lot. Just the road is a bit steep to get up there which requires a bit of driving skills.

All good, just the kitchen ware might not be 100% clean, but manageable still.

Alles bestens, sehr nette und verlässliche Gastgeber.

The best view and tranquillity ever. really. The house has everything you need to cook at home and enjoy the outside space. Full privacy and 360 degree view is just so beautiful. Sunrise and sunset views. But don't even think of staying without a car. Also be aware of a very steep uphill to reach home, but you can manage it without any troubles.

Vista sul mare pazzesca, un po’ insidiosa da raggiungere ma ne vale assolutamente la pena. La veranda fuori, meravigliosa. Proprietario Vincent veramente disponibile e cordiale.

Ich tue mir hier echt schwer beim Bewerten, aber ich möchte ehrlich sein und unseren Aufenthalt, so wie er für uns war, bewerten. Bei Vincent gibt’s nichts auszusetzen. Er ist sehr bemüht, zuvorkommend und jederzeit erreichbar. In Sachen Lage ist das Positive natürlich die wunderschöne Aussicht - sowohl morgens als auch abends ein Naturschauspiel. Das Positive war, dass, je länger wir in der Unterkunft waren, wir die negativen Dinge weniger beachtet haben und die Aussicht genossen haben…

Das, was uns am meisten gestört hat, war, dass es relativ dreckig war und wir nicht ohne Schuhe oder Schlapfen im Haus gehen konnten. Die Küchenutensilien sind sehr alt und mussten wir vor dem Benutzen gründlich abwaschen - hier hätten wir uns echt auf Selbstkochen gefreut, haben uns aber alles andere als wohl gefühlt. Die Bilder, die bei der Unterkunft gezeigt werden, sind meiner Meinung nach überarbeitet und entsprechen nicht der Realität - da gehört einiges neu gemacht oder zumindest korrekt „geschminkt“, wenn man schon kein Geld reinstecken möchte… Die schöne Aussicht macht die Lage trotzdem nicht perfekt: die Anfahrt bzw Auffahrt ist absolut nicht ohne. Mir ist jedes Mal als Fahrer leicht übel geworden, weil die Strecke steil, kurvig und holprig ist. Außerdem ist folgende Info extrem wichtig, aber nirgends angegeben: für die Unterkunft ist ein Mietauto notwendig, aber nicht irgendeines, sondern ein Auto mit erhöhter Bodenfreiheit! Bei Regenwetter bzw feuchtem Boden bezweifle ich, dass man da überhaupt hoch kommt. Wenn man einen gewissen Standard beim Wohnen im Urlaub haben möchte, sind meine Frau und ich der Meinung, dass dieser hier einfach nicht gegeben ist. Ist man nicht heikel und sucht das Abenteuer, dann kann man hier auf alle Fälle eine schöne Zeit haben. Ich weiß nicht, wie die anderen tollen Bewertungen zustande gekommen sind, aber nur eine tolle Aussicht und ein netter Vermieter bringen auch nichts, wenn ich mich im Haus nicht (von Anfang an) wohlfühle…

The view is 100% the best there is on Praslin. You won't find anything better. The only downside is that you should not book if you're a seasoned driver as at night, it may be tough to get to the property. You'll basically be driving at 70-80° slopes and gotta know how to drive well enough in hilly areas. But it's a short drive, so it's all worth it with anse lazio only 5 mins away. And so many more things close by. Book immediately if driving is not a problem for you! P.S. - BEST SUNRISE EVERRRR

L’emplacement est exceptionnel et prendre le petit déjeuner avec une telle vue est magique ! Logement propre. Propriétaire et son père très gentil.

Le waouh de l’emplacement doit aller de pair avec le confort du logement pour avoir de telles notes…de ce fait j’ai été déçue par l’intérieur de la maison : confort sommaire, certains draps taches, certains matelas méritent d’être changés …

This is an incredible house on the top of the hill. The view from its territory is stunning and worth every cent payed. Vincent helped us with organisation of the tour to the small islands nearby which was an incredible journey!

I have no words to describe the beauty of this place.Definitely one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen in my entire life.It is impressive how breathtaking the view is, from all angles of the house.The peace and the calm gives you it's unreal.Vincent and his Dad are the best hosts I have ever met in my life, trying all their best to make their guests happy and relaxed, putting all their efforts to help as much as they can and make the stay a special one.I cannot thank you enough for the special moments we had and can't wait to be back.

The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—no photo can do them justice. Situated on top of a hill, the property is surrounded by a huge garden offering 360-degree views. These are probably the best views you can get anywhere in Praslin. The apartment was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Both bedrooms were large, each featuring a double bed and two single beds, and each had an attached bathroom that was equally spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and our host went above and beyond by leaving us delicious fruits, eggs, and fish. The fruits, picked from his own garden, were especially delightful. A rental car is essential for accessing the property due to its hilltop location. The climb is quite steep, which could be challenging for drivers unfamiliar with such roads. If you’re unable to drive all the way to the top, there is parking available below with a short walk to the property. This was one of the best stays we’ve had in Seychelles. I would choose this place over a 5-star resort any day. It's that amazing, and I highly recommend it. You won’t regret staying here.

One thing to note is that we encountered a wasp nest outside the room, and we had to deal with wasps entering frequently. We killed around 15 wasps during our three-day stay. However, given the jungle setting, we don't blame the host for this.

Fantastic place with extremely friendly and helpful owners. Views are spectacular and we loved just relaxing around the place. Easy access to great beaches and supermarkets etc.

Nothing!

Very good and quiet home million $ view good space Nice kitchen Privet parking

slow internet

Everything was wonderful. The view from the villa is amazing. The road to the villa is very steep!!! You can't live here without a car. Vincent helped with any questions. I recommend this place.

Nothing

One of the best part is shower outside. Amazing view and shower. Of course there is one also inside. Morning, evening view was incredible. And all house was just for me. Absolute privacy and nature peace

nothing. Just be ready to climb up to hill 😄

The view from this property is one in a million - you get a 180-degree view from basically sunrise to sunset (the latter falls behind the mountains). Within a 10-minute drive you get to the best beaches in Praslin - Anse Lazio, there you can hike for 1hr through the rainforest along the coast with gorgeous views to another gem Anse Georgette. The villa is spacious, with lots of nature around. Quiet, serene surroundings. Birds and flying foxes in the trees. Also chickens and roosters from the few neighboring locals. Safe, clean, cozy and comfy. All equipped, working, and fast wi-fi. One local convenience store is a short drive to. And yes, to get to this wonderful place you need a car, or you need it anyway to explore the island. The host (Vincent) is friendly and helpful (can get you a car rental at the last moment). Really enjoyed my stay and plan to revisit!!!

Thank you to Vincent, his father, and his wife. They were very welcoming. The room is very spacious, so you can relax even if you stay with family or friends. The View from the room is also great. I was worried about mosquitoes, but it was perfectly fine even if I opened the windows at night. Not a single one. Dinner is an additional charge but be sure to request it in advance. I ate some very delicious Creole food. Vincent's father seems to be a very famous plant grower. He will be able to tell you a lot about Seychelles plants. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

The slope is steep, so I recommend wearing sneakers instead of flip-flops.

This is top of the world. Literally. Best views. Accommodation itself is also quite fabulous, full kitchen and grilling area. Bedroom is efficient. The best feature is outdoor shower, I don't think we used one inside once. This is a place for contemplating and stargazing. Vincent is a great host and also graciously let us use for late checkout times. One advice I would have was to take a full wheel drive car to enjoy experience as both public road and lane to the house are steep climb.

This is a rather old house with a beautiful view in a vary quiet area on the top of the hill. Note that it takes some expertise to get there by car. The host is always available and quick to reply. The house is big. All in all we had a good time there.

As said it is an old place and the equipment inside is old too. Furniture, kitchen equipment quite worn out. To me it was not a problem, but you should not expect a luxurious villa. In my opinion this being said is was a bit overpriced in comparison with other places on Mahe and LaDigue. My needs were however satisfied.

What a wonderful location! The views were spectacular even with changeable weather. Everything was clean, loads of room for us, good air conditioning in the bedrooms, wonderful welcome and Vincent helped out with everything we ever needed. Lovely comfy bed too.

The oven needs a little effort to get it to light but Vincent will help if you need him. Maybe a new can opener? But those are tiny niggles. Loved our time there and can recommend it thoroughly.

What a fantastic place to stay in Praslin. View is amazing and this is something I value a lot when booking an accommodation. Massive sea view and mountain view from every angle. Huge terrace. House is huge and I had it for myself. Bedroom has 3 beds and there is another bedroom like that. Big living room, kitchen, 2 covered terraces and 1 outdoor terrace. Many options available to hang out! Place is comfortable, clean, obviously super quiet as no neighbor around since it's lost in nature, washing machine available, fully equipped kitchen, good internet. You need a car to get there by the way as it's quite up the hill. SUV possibly better in order to park all the way up otherwise you can park a little bit below and walk up, which is what I did. Host is very nice. The dad and mom are living below the property and the son Vincent manages it. I dealt mostly with the dad. They are all very nice and even offered me some fish. Very remote place so you need to get your food up there. It's the kind of place I would want to come back again some day!

Kitchen could use some renovation some day. Flies are a bit of a problem at times. Place can get quickly dirty with all the dead insects. It's nature also, so was not a problem for me.
