It reads as a proper hosted stay rather than a bare self-catering unit. The house is large and spacious, with three rooms and beds for six. What guests return to again and again is the comfort of a family home run by a kind host, with private bathrooms and daily care.

About Elje Villa
Each room has its own private bathroom, which two families sharing a seven-night stay found made the whole house very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard. Guests described the space as cozy and home-like, with a very comfortable bed. Rooms were well equipped. Beach towels are offered and there is a washing machine on site, which is a practical touch for a longer stay on the island.
The host is Elna, and reviews describe her simply as a very kind lady. She gave one guest suggestions for activities, and several people singled out how helpful and friendly she was. Breakfast comes up over and over as very nice, with one guest calling it perfect. Two resident dogs live at the villa, and guests found them cute and very friendly rather than a nuisance. The welcome is the kind people mention by name.
The villa sits in a quiet residential pocket of Anse Réunion, not on the main road, which keeps it calm and relaxing. It is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the jetty and well placed for exploring La Digue. It reflects a genuinely hosted guesthouse with breakfast, daily cleaning and private bathrooms, and the reviews carry no real complaint to report. Guests who want a home-like base with a real host tend to leave very happy.

The Area
Anse Réunion is a quiet residential stretch on the west side of La Digue, a short way south of the main village at La Passe. The villa stands back from the main road, so the setting stays peaceful. The jetty and La Passe are a 10 to 15 minute walk away, which puts the shops, the ferry and the island's small hub within easy reach on foot. Reaching La Digue means a ferry from Praslin, a crossing of roughly 15 minutes. There are almost no cars on the island. Most guests here rented bicycles, which is the natural way to reach the beaches and get around, though the walk into La Passe is easy enough on foot.
