La Residence

We stayed in one of the incredible two bedroom bungalows. It was immaculate. It was extremely spacious and the view was spectacular. Very well equipped and really well located. We can’t praise it enough and would love to come back. The staff were really helpful and friendly. They cleaned every day, it was spotless!

Amazing two bedroomed bungalow, couldn’t believe the view from the patio, kitchen and lounge, both bedrooms are darker but that’s good to keep them cool, there is an additional bed in the lounge for a 5th person, ideal for families, feels safe, and such a tropical setting, I recommend hiring a car, it’s very reasonable 38 euros a day online with sunshine cars, we picked up at a hotel nearby and will drop off near the jetty in Victoria, the new Hilton nearby is very nice but we didn’t enquire about using the pool, most hotels in Seychelles offer a day rate to use the facilities, we will be returning to this accommodation for a longer period, i please give the little black cat some milk and bread, ❤️

Despite the amazing reviews of this location, I was a bit sceptical of what I might find. But from the moment I drove up the hill into the property, I knew I had truly arrived paradise. I stayed for 4 nights in villa 9 at the far end of the property which had a hammock, and the views from atop this place are amazing, especially at sunrise and sunset. Down the hill and across the road, is a scenic entrance to one of the many public beaches spread across the island. I should have explored it more though. I enjoyed the few walks and the many drives I made from the residence to some amenities. I loved the antique feel of the house, and I was amazed by its matching level of functionality, although the kitchen was lacking a few utensils for effective cooking. I enjoyed my dinner on the terrace a lot, soaking in the cool breeze from the sea. The host Mayna was helpful with some recommendations, even though my initial payment to confirm my booking was mixed up somehow, and I ended up spending additional time at the airport trying to sort that all out. They have a library where you can borrow books to read from too. If I ever returned to the island for a longer stay, I'll love to stay at La Residence again.

Nice little view and friendly staff but sadly lots of cockroaches in the rooms
