La Digue

Bydleli jsme v útulném pokoji s manželskou postelí. Na pokoji byla koupelna se sprchovým koutem i vanou. Pokoj měl funkční klimatizaci a minibar. Každý den probíhal úklid. Celá vila je umístěna na klidném a tichém místě. Má domácí a přátelskou atmosféru, která zapadne do krásného ostrava La Digue. Ubytování poskytuje skvělé snídaně a pronájem kol. Paní majitelka je velmi příjemná a přátelská osoba. Velmi ji záleží na vašem pohodlí a spokojenosti. Pobyt jsme si užili a doporučili bychom ho každému.

We stayed in a cozy room with a double bed. The room had a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. The room had working air conditioning and a minibar. Cleaning was done every day. The whole villa is located in a quiet and peaceful place. It has a homely and friendly atmosphere that blends in with the beautiful setting of La Digue. The accommodation provides a great breakfast and bike hire. The lady owner is a very nice and friendly person. She cares very much about your comfort and satisfaction. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Postel by mohla být tišší.
Bed could be quieter.

Útulný pokoj s domácí atmosférou a skvělou snídaní - Cosy room with a homely atmosphere and great...

Delightful location to stay and explore the wonderful island. Immersed in vegetation. Clean and spacious rooms. Very friendly and always available. Breakfast with fresh fruit, toasted bread and other items prepared at the moment by the lady. Small new: the house is located in a steep slope; the island is cycling x with a bit of effort but absolutely worth it

Perfect location immersed in the island's vegetation (August 2017)

Mrs. Lauria is discreet, kind and efficient, her house and garden are perfectly clean, every morning Marlène prepared us a delicious breakfast with always such a good homemade cake.

20/20 for this guest house.

A comfortable local home – also the most expensive place we stayed in the Seychelles.  You will discover that on La Digue everything costs more than Praslin or Mahe.

We stayed here for a week, booking via agoda.  This is intended to be a fair, impartial review of our stay.

First you need to know that this isn’t a hotel or self catering apartment, it is a room in a Seychellois house - a pleasant, comfortable room, with en-suite bathroom, fridge, a/c and fan.  Our bathroom shower was hot, the basin, bidet and bath only have cold water.

On the plus side, the retired teacher owner is keen that guests enjoy their stay and sets them up with a good breakfast of seasonal fruit, bread and eggs.  At the front door, there is a breezy shared verandah with two comfortable seats, to enjoy the lovely garden, filled with tropical plants and flowers.  Please note that contrary to the Seychelles Tourism guide, there is no TV or personal safe in the room.  We only discovered there was (paid) internet here on our last day, as the wifi didn’t reach our room.

We walked from the jetty with two wheeled bags, but in the heat of the day would recommend taking a taxi unless you are exceptionally fit, more acclimatised or travel extremely light.  Over 10 Euros for a five minute drive is extortionate, but as I said, on La Digue everything costs more.  The walk started easy enough, but the final stretch to the Guest House is a bit steep.  When the road in front rises alarmingly and you think ‘I can’t possibly drag my bag up here,’ look to the right.  The house sign is above the door, but is only visible from above, when you have walked past.  I did suggest they could have a sign put up at the junction and another at the house gate.

The location is lovely if you want peace and quiet, but is at least a 20 minute walk from the main village amenities, so you need to walk or ride for meals, although there is a well-stocked mini-market a five minute walk from the junction.  Other reviewers have said that the owner cooked meals for them, but this was not offered.  On some listings the kitchen is listed as communal, but if this is the case it was not made clear to us.  We made up lunches in our bathroom, buying a knife and other cutlery in the local hardware shop.

The Zerof Café is just beyond the shop, but be aware there is a take-away and sit-in section.  Prices in the latter are twice as expensive and service is poor.  With two staff (watching television) and only two customers (us), they still managed to get my wife’s order wrong.  We paid 10 euro for a cheese and ham sandwich!  The Gala take-away 300 metres past the Veuve Reserve has far better choice.

Carry on up the road from Liane de Mai to find the Belle Vue viewpoint café.  It is a mind-bogglingly steep walk however, we only managed a few hundred yards beyond Liane de Mai before becoming soaked with sweat and exhausted.  Apparently if you book a meal, they will drive you up.  We also discovered on our last morning that the trucks with seats at the back, which hurtle around the lanes act as local buses.  It would be worth waiting until one comes along, flag it down and pay your Rs7 to get a lift to the top.

I would recommend asking about internet, the kitchen, transport and anything else when you arrive, we didn’t, so missed out on a few things - which is our own fault.

If you are looking for a resort, close to amenities, this is the wrong place.  If you want somewhere homely to experience a bit of Sesel life, this is a good choice, which whilst not exactly cheap, isn’t crazily expensive. Just don’t drag your bags all the way from the jetty!

A comfortable local home

The guesthouse is located very central, close to everything, and easily accessible by bike. The house is literally build upon the typical granite rocks you see everywhere in the Seychelles. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The lady of the house makes you feel welcome immediately, is very nice to chat with and prepares a lovely breakfast for you in the morning. She even arranged two fresh coconuts for us because it was our last day. Good value for money. I would recommend this to others! Thanks for everything!!!

great place & lovely lady of the house

The house is located in the center of the island in the zone belle vue. The house is immersed in a tropical garden very clean and rich in plants and fruits. She is very thoughtful: breakfast on time every morning prepared at the time: toasted bread, fresh fruit, eggs, omelets in short everything served condensed by an always appealing conversation. The lady speaks fluent English and French.

The place to stay on the island

We stayed in Liane de Mai for 4 nights in a three-bedroom economy room. We liked everything very much. The room is simple, but the price for it for La Diego is very small - only 50 euros a night. The room has two double beds, a closet, a refrigerator, a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The bathroom is external, but it didn't bring any inconvenience. There is a room with its own bathroom, but it's more expensive. The house, room and bathroom are very clean. The cleaning, the changing of the towels every day. The breakfasts are just amazing: fruits, eggs, toast, baking, juices, coffee. The hostess is remarkable: she's very kind and a nice woman, always willing to help.

It's amazing!

We spent a week at Liane de Mai and were very happy that we did. The house and rooms were immaculate and the breakfasts amazing, keeping us going almost to dinner! There are two main reasons that I would recomend this as a place to stay, firstly, Lauria who was born and has spent her life on the island and worked as headmistress in the local school and so is known and respected by seemingly everyone on the island. Secondly the house is located halfway up the main peak of the island which means that it is relatively cool at night and very quiet. Lauria also has a beautiful garden. The house is a 15 minute walk from the harbour and about 25 minutes from the nearest beach.

Perfect place to stay in La Digue

Three beautiful air-conditioned bedrooms and spacious bathrooms, all the comforts for a special stay in this suggestive place built between the rocks of a promontory in La Digue, all made even more comfortable by the special care and attention of Sir Lauria, the beautiful housewife.

Feel at home thanks to Mrs. Lauria.

The hostess is incredibly nice and helpful. Whether it's organizing bicycles, calling restaurants or arranging taxis, everything is taken away. Breakfast is excellent. Fresh fruit from the garden, mostly a freshly baked cake from the niece, toast, jam. Very good. The location is top. We took a taxi from the ferry station.
