Riambel is a small town located far from the tourist hustle and bustle. the stay at home was very enjoyable. the beach was practically all for us and lovely dogs welcomed us there every day. the house is well equipped and cleaned from Monday to Sunday by very nice ladies. I recommend and I think that I will be back😉

Thank you for your review! we would love to welcome you back any time again!
Eine Woche in einem wunderschönen Strandhaus. Davina (Hausmanager) war immer über WhatsApp erreichbar. Wichtige Informationen (Restaurants, Märkte...) wurden direkt mitgeteilt. Unkomplizierte Übernahme und Abgabe des Hauses. Die Hausmädchen haben Mo-Sa sauber gemacht. Sie würden auch Essen zubereiten, wenn gewünscht.
Der Zaun in Richtung Strand wurde im Verlauf der Woche erneuert. Einzig das Holzdeck um den Pool gibt es nicht mehr.
Wichtig: Nur bei Flut kann man leidlich in der Lagune vor dem Haus schwimmen, bei Ebbe ist das aufgrund des niedrigen Wasserstands nicht möglich. Wir sind immer zum St. Felix Beach gefahren (4km). Supermarkt im Nachbarort mit Auto schnell erreichbar.
Gute Reitschule fußläufig erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Très beau bungalow avec tout le confort pour passer un excellent séjour. La qualité de la literie est à souligner particulièrement.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe qui gère le bungalow (réservation, accueil, ménage, jardin). Ceux-ci sont à votre écoute et font en sorte que votre séjour se passe à merveille.
Herrliches kleines Ferienhaus direkt am Strand. Check in und Check out problemlos. Sehr hilfreiches Personal. Sehr sauber. Kleiner, aber schöner Pool zum planschen für die Kinder. Ursprüngliches Mauritius in Riambel. Haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Gerne wieder.

Vielen Dank das freut uns sehr! jawohl, gerne wieder!
Un excellent accueil dans cette villa dotée d'un jardin très appréciable. La pisscine est un plus. La maison est très bien équipée et Sapna saura vous donner les conseils pour passer de bonnes vacances. Une situation à Riambel au calme un peu isolée. La plage en face de la maison ne permet pas vraiment la baignade. Il faut aller plutôt à 4km à St Félix. Excellent séjour au calme en famille au Cardinal.
Merci

Magnifique chalet malgré le petit couac d'arrivée
Les propriétaires sont adorables, les lieux sont magnifiques encore mieux que sur les photos et le personnel très discret.
Le seul point négatif etait la communication et la procédure d'arrivée à cause de l'agent immobilier
