Very beautiful villa with 5 rooms. The view of Beau Vallon is unique. We stayed there for 3 nights and were the only guests. Michel and Jon pampered us. The breakfast was very delicious, our wishes were fulfilled. The warm atmosphere and the nice conversations with the hosts made our stay very special.

We really enjoyed our stay at this quite grand colonial style villa. Our room (the master bedroom) was large and airy, nicely furnished with a huge bathroom. The bed was comfy and the walk-in wardrobe made keeping things tidy a breeze. We were well looked after by the hosts and their on-site assistant, Alam. He was always around to get drinks or beach towels, umbrellas, etc., and keep the villa clean and tidy. The villa is up a steep access road (which is not uncommon on the island due to the local topography) and about a mile out of Beau Vallon, which means a car is pretty much essential to get to the fabulous beaches and local eateries. However, the access road & parking could be considered somewhat challenging unless you are a confident driver. We enjoyed the breakfasts which consisted of a platter of varied fresh fruit, eggs of your choice, and pancakes obviously prepared with care. Alternative options were offered as well. The hosts also offered a 3-course evening meal option. Unfortunately, this was not available every night of our stay. The food was excellent and, although we initially thought it seemed expensive, it turned out to be good value in comparison with the better local restaurants. We found the Villa a peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing place to stay. It's not perfect by any means, but you'd have to be pretty picky to find much to complain about, and it was a more personal & comfortable experience than the standard hotel offerings.

We had a great stay. However, a rental car is absolutely necessary. The accommodation is great and quiet. We felt very comfortable.

Petit Amour Villa completely thrilled us! We were there for ten days and enjoyed the wonderful view every single day. The unique service that catered to the individual wishes and circumstances of us guests made our vacation an unforgettable beautiful experience. The staff is incredibly attentive and takes care of all questions, the food is delicious, and the owners are true treasure troves of knowledge and stories about the island and the rest of the world. We will definitely come back to Mahé, and Petit Amour Villa will be our destination again. Thank you!!

Not accessible without a car, very steep driveway. The rooms are a bit dated, but okay for the price.

We loved Petit Amour Villa, but we think it was very remote, and the reason we don't rate it higher is that it was not possible to order dinner on-site.

Stunning view from the rooms and breakfast area. Surrounded by greenery and very quiet. However, it is located at the top of a steep hill and it is absolutely necessary to have a car, especially for the distance from restaurants and activities. The owners and staff are very helpful and kind.
