Self-catering · Takamaka, Mahé
★★★★★ 4.9 (56 Google reviews)
✓ Verified listing · Official Seychelles Tourism registerChalets Des Vacances, once known as La Montagne Villa, is a self-catering complex of chalets set on a jungle hillside in the Takamaka area of southern Mahé. It holds a 4.9 star rating across 56 reviews. What guests come back to again and again is the pairing of a green, forested setting with two hosts, Mervin and Adam, who look after everyone personally.
The apartments are spacious and comfortable, and one guest called the room fantastic. Because the place sits up on the hillside, the views are the thing people mention first. They stretch out over the surrounding jungle, and one visitor described them as simply stunning. The units are self-catering, so guests have their own space and can come and go at their own pace. Reviewers were pleased with the rooms and the general condition of the property.
Mervin and Adam own several chalets in the complex and run it themselves. New arrivals have been welcomed with juice and a large plate of fruit. Guests describe the two as dedicated and genuinely caring. They arranged laundry for one couple, and more than once they cooked fresh fish at very reasonable prices, on one occasion serving it as a free dinner. The energy of the place and the friendliness of the hosts come up in almost every review.
The setting is quiet and green, and a restaurant sits within a 100 metre walk for evenings when guests would rather not cook. The 4.9 rating here is earned rather than inflated. It reflects the host-cooked fish, the fruit welcome, the care shown by Mervin and Adam, and the jungle views, all at a price guests considered reasonable for the Takamaka area.

A selection of guest reviews from Google. The rating above reflects all reviews.
The chalets sit in the hills above Takamaka on the south of Mahé, a green and fairly quiet corner of the island. The big south-coast surf beaches are close, with Anse Takamaka and the wide sands of Anse Intendance both within an easy drive, and the Takamaka rum distillery is nearby too. A restaurant is about 100 metres away on foot. Beyond that, the hillside location means a hire car is genuinely useful here, both for reaching the beaches and for the run north to Victoria and the airport. Guests who like the idea of being surrounded by forest rather than crowds tend to settle in quickly.
