I stayed here for 1 week with my wife and 2 kids (ages 15 & 12) in August 2017. Great pool which the kids loved, and benefits from a solar mat which raises the water temperature a few degrees... necessary in August. Plenty of sun loungers and a mature garden makes relaxing around the pool a pleasure. We also loved the verenda/porch area for lazy lunches and an evening beer.
The owner's sister checked us in and showed us around the house. Very welcoming and appreciated after a long flight from the UK. Don't expect the Ritz inside... this is a home with charm and character. Don't get me wrong, there are mod-cons like a dishwasher, AC units in rooms, large flat screen TV, washing machine, comfortable beds (not always the case in rentals), wifi, etc!
The area is very residential and quiet which suited us perfectly for our 1st week on the island. Couple of small grocery stores nearby, a few good restaurants, and some food stalls.
The beach in walking distance from the house isn't very good (rocky and we found it quite dirty) but don't despair!! Go to the one near Club Med, it's on Albion beach but a nicer part (and only a few mins by car).
We did a few trips since we had a car and Albion is a great location for access to many places. We even made it over to Ile Aux Cerfs on the east which was around 1hr 15mins hours each way, and Le Morne at the SW of the island, around 1 hour. The Botanical Gardens are around 40 mins depending on how you navigate through Port Louis! There is a large supermarket (Monoprix) along with some other modern shops on the A3 road between Bambous and Casela Nature Park (around 20 mins away). We combined that with a couple of hours at Wolmar public beach, well worth a trip (easy free parking) if you want to see another section of the coast, but in a less touristy section than Flic-en-Flaq.
Last, but definitely not least, Francoise (the owner) was a joy to deal with. She provided lots of information and answered my many emails (with patience) leading up to our stay. She even greeted me at the villa via video call to ensure everything was ok! Thanks Francoise for a relaxing and comfortable first week on this beautiful island!
