Tropical Retreat Seychelles

Where should I start....best before we even arrived! Anne made the most amazing effort to arrange for us special diet items, organized a rental car, sent detailed instructions so we could easily find the house.....amazing! Best service ever! Once we arrived at the house we were truly impressed. The villa is beautiful, spotless and the perfect place to enjoy a super relaxing vacation on that beautiful island. From an architectural ponit of view, this house is a real gem! The stone that it is built around makes it a real pleasure for anyone who is looking for those unique places that are rather scarce...Highly recommend this place! We were absolutely happy. Thank you Anne!

We had been in this place 2014 , all was perfect, including owner.

Nurk family from Estonia.

If you're looking for a place to call home in the Seychelles, look no further. This home came highly recommended by friends who had been and as soon as we arrived there we immediately understood why. What a hidden gem! House and location must be the BEST in that part of the island. Everything exceeded our expectations and we're somewhat reluctantly submitting this review because in a sense we almost want to keep it to ourselves :))) The owners have recently done some new and very tasteful renovation. Great job guys! It's an an enormous house and so ideal for families or a large group. Extremely safe for children. Quiet and isolated from neighbours yet so close to everything. The Beau Vallon beach and restaurants were only about 5 minutes drive away. And with 2 amazing housekeepers (Liza and Moreen) and a night watchman (Dave) to look after us while we were there (2 weeks), what more could we ask for? The boat excursion & beach barbecue that was booked for us with Pat and Fatima was the best we did on the island. An absolute must for when we return. We loved the fruits from the garden. The avocados and bananas were the best. So organic and fresh! Thank you Anne for arranging our stay. You and your staff are first class and very professional! We can't wait to return next year with our the whole family this time.

Our stay at Hillcrest Villas was beyond our expectations. The beautiful property itself is simply wonderful - we could not believe that we had the whole place to ourselves. The management & staff are also all fantastic and they really made our perfect holiday in Paradise. What a trip! We definitely recommend Hillcrest to all our friends and family. - Paula

Nice villa combining hi-tech design with a shade of colonial style. Energy saving technologies with use of solar energy are widely applied. The pool promotes a relax in evening and night time that is very important. Pleasant garden with night illumination with coconut palm trees and mango.

At villa the good site on the hill in 2-3 minutes of a driving from Beau Vallon by car, nearby is the Roni supermarket that is very convenient.

The owner of Anne very much cares of comfort of guests and if necessary can provide booking as restaurant for a dinner, and other entertainments. I recommend strongly to use the help of Anne when booking car for hire as it is very interesting to do a bit of traveling on different sights and island beaches.

Also, the manager of villa Lisa is always ready to give help and information for the organization of various entertainments and so forth.

2 restaurants on Beau Vallon - Boat House and La Plage, I recommend. Also the La Scala restaurant but this restaurant is on considerable removal.

I recommend strongly to visit the market in Victoria (works in the mornings, except Sunday) and to buy fresh fish or seafood as on villa there is excellent barbeque stove and all necessary equipment and it is possible to enjoy an evening dinner on villa.

Also, I recommend strongly to visit Intendance and Grande Ance beaches (from June to August are closed for bathing because of a strong current and waves, but for surfers from Bali - for example, it will be interesting after Kuta and Legian with Seminyak as waves very powerful), also falls (near Port Glaud) and a botanical garden are obligatory to visit - it is very nice.

On villa there is a night watchman (suddenly any questions) and safety system as the owner (Anne) very much cares of comfort and safety of guests, including the smallest (special being closed protections that the child didn't fall on a ladder for example are equipped).

In general very beautiful nature of the island promotes relax, it is possible to do a bit of traveling on Praslin and La Digue islands - in my opinion better on excursion as Cat Coco ferries have schedule inconvenient for travel.

I hope that my response helped with information on villa, as for thinking personally, I will recommend by all means to the friends at visit for Seychelles to stop on a visit at Anne (owner) in Hillcrest villa, as this best combination of reasonable price and quality.

I very grateful to Anne & Lisa for care and organization my trip!
