Elegant property with perfect beach access

We were a family of three couples, the accommodation was perfect. Well equipped, serviced and nicely furnished with a beautiful garden, and direct access to the sea with some of the best snorkelling on Mahe, Denise and her staff made the stay seamless.

Great accommodation

We had a great time at Bel Horizon. The accommodation was clean, fully equipped, good air con, great views, well located, good externals with pool, access to sea, BBQ etc. etc. Denise is a first rate host - very clear and easy to deal with beforehand and then a really good briefing on arrival, with everything done that was needed along with good advice on the Island. Fantastic family holiday Thank you Denise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Belhorizon. The apartment is spacious and clean with spectacular sunset views. The host was available during the stay to answer questions and check us in and out. Laundry and cleaning service was provided. Sea kayaks available to paddle to the local beach or snorkel. The best snorkelling we did was from the apartment itself. Small private beach with coconut palm. Small pool, sun loungers, hammocks (shared with 1-2 other guest groups). Beautiful garden with lemon trees, bougainvillea, palms etc. Visits from sunbirds and red fody. Beach towels provided. Well equipped kitchen. Small supermarket 5 minutes walk. We would recommend this self-catering apartment to anyone! Fantastic find. Will visit again one day.

Great Place and Great People

From the first contact, we (group of 6) knew this was going to be a great place to wind down after a very busy two weeks in Africa. Denise made it easy to make all the financial arrangements even though we were 11time zones apart. She then helped make arrangements for our airport transfers. Her staff met us at the villa even though it was very late and walked us through the villa. She even has refreshments and juice waiting as well as coffee and bread for the morning. We could not have been happier with the location and condition of the villa. All kind of loungers in the beautifully taken care of garden and lawn. The snorkeling off of the small beach was very good with only a short swim over shallow water to the reef. Denise helped to arrange several activities including a boat trip to two other islands which we high recommend. We highly recommend Belhorizon as the place to stay in the Seychelles. And compared to the cost of neighboring hotels, it is a great deal.

Wunderschönes Haus mit drei Wohneinheiten, wir hatten die größte!Mit drei Stockwerken, oben zwei, unten ein, dafür besonders großes Schlafzimmer, je mit eigenem Bad, mittig Küche, Wohnzimmer, Wc und bestuhlte Terrasse war es optimal für zwei gemeinsam reisende Generationen.Die Außenanlage ist ein Traum, riesiger botanischer Garten, Sonnen/ Schattenterrassen am Pool und am eigenen Strand! Alles sehr gepflegt und wir wurden von Denise und ihrem Team stets freundlich umsorgt. Passionsfrüchte aus dem eigenen Garten- sehr lecker.Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig, die Nähe zu Beau Vallon für abendliche Unternehmungen geeignet.Wir waren rundum zufrieden… besonders mit einer guten Klimaanlage in den heißen Nächten

Unser Aufenthalt war absolut paradiesisch. Eine zweckmäßig und sehr saubere Unterkunft, ein toller Garten und ein gepflegter Pool trugen zu unserem schönen Urlaub bei. Die kleine Bucht lädt zum verweilen und entspannen ein. Das Wasser ist auf Grund der Gezeiten nicht immer zum Schwimmen geeignet, aber das weiß man und hat ja den Pool um sich abzukühlen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die absolute Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft. Empfangen mit einem frischen Obstkorb wurde uns alles erklärt. Peter, der Hausmeister hat für uns gekocht und gegrillt, was absolut empfehlenswert und super lecker ist. Als dann am Abreisetag unser Flug gecancelt wurde, hat Denise uns sehr geholfen, wir durften länger in der Wohnung bleiben, ebenso hat sie für uns die Kommunikation mit dem Flughafen übernommen, ein Taxi bestellt usw. Vielen Dank nochmal dafür. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen.
Kleine Bucht, fast für sich allein

Excellent place. Wonderful view from each balcony room

Вилла выглядит так же как и на фотографиях. Расположена прямо на берегу. В отлив даже можно купаться рядом с домом, но пляжа как такового нет. Но в 5 минутах на машине самый большой пляж Бо Валлон в одну сторону, и один из самых красивый пляжей Сансет Бич в другую сторону. С балконов прекрасный вид на океан горы и лес. Все балконы широкие и просторные, приятно посидеть там вечером. До ближайшего магазина можно даже дойти пешком за 10 мин. Хозяйка очень доброжелательная, быстро отвечает на все вопросы по поводу приезда, дала полезные советы по поводу отдыха и парковки. Даже разрешила нам заехать раньше так как мы прилетали очень рано. В доме полный набор кухонных принадлежностей, газовая и электрическая плитки, микроволновка, электрический чаиник, холодильник. Есть утюг (правда самый простой) Когда прилетели хозяйка оставила для нас хлеб молоко растительное масло и фрукты. На территории есть бассейн, барбекю, и стол под навесом. Так же естьстиралка (на территории, не на вилле), но мы не пользовались. Нам все очень понравилось, было очень жалко уезжать. Очень рекомендуем!

Die Vermieterin Denise ist ausgesprochen nett, hilfsbereit und tierlieb. Sie verbreitet eine tolle Wohlfühlatmosphäre und organisiert frische Tropenfrüchte für den Obstsalat.

We spent 3 weeks at this beautiful residence and loved every minute. The views, pool, beach access, property, etc were are wonderful. Denise, our host, was so accommodating, helpful, and funny. She would stop by with stories and fresh fruit, which were always welcome. This is the perfect place to hide out for awhile and write a book or as a short stop over to visit Mahe on your way to see the other islands. My family and I will definitely be returning.
