    Loved everything. We care coming back again.

    We stayed here for a week. We all enjoyed our stay. Staffs were friendly and very helpful. They always go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The place is immaculately clean and very well maintained. Fresh healthy breakfast is served every morning. Hot shower, comfortable beds, AC, daily housekeeping, internet too is available. This place is highly recommended. Plus there’s a swimming pool too.

    We stayed on the second floor , in a spacious apartment with a equipped kitchen, lovely bedroom and spa like bathroom ( huge shower , toilet and sink ) The breakfast was a great way to start the day ( crepes/French loaf/tea or coffee/fruits) The staff helped arrange transport and activities. Area close to restaurants and shops ( walking distance)

    Barking dogs at night (not the fault of the property) and lack of any surface to put anything on in the bathroom. Aved, the host, says it was the intention of the architect to have a minimalist look and the bathroom is stunning, but not practical. We suggested adding a unit or table to one side and he's taken the suggestion on board.

    Friendly attentive hosts. We had an enormous apartment on the top floor with kitchen, large bedroom and even larger bathroom. Amazing value with breakfast included; big basket of bread, omelette, large platter of fruit, juice and coffee. We were tired after a long boat trip so decided to eat at the Light Villa one night and, with no prior warning, crispy chicken, chips and salad was provided for us with lots of french bread and butter. All the food was amazing and plentiful. The small swimming pool is mostly shaded and this was a welcome relief from the hot sun. Very secure property with private parking. I asked where I could do some washing and it was all done for us, free of charge!

    The breakfast was great and we had a variety to choose from. The host was really nice, he kept in contact while we were still in South Africa and even when we arrived he kept in contact and was very responsive. He was also very helpful on arranging transportation for run which he negotiated a very good price for us. He also went out of his way to go get us the essentials we needed. We would definitely go back there.

    I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Light Villa, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and were always available to offer helpful recommendations. The villa itself is a gem—beautifully designed and maintained, with stunning views. The location was perfect; it was peaceful and serene, yet still close to everything. The comfort level was top-notch, with cozy rooms, plush furnishings, and every little detail thoughtfully considered. As for the food, it was just delicious! Each meal felt like a special treat, full of flavor and made with care. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every dish was perfectly prepared and fresh. Overall, The Light Villa exceeded all expectations. The combination of incredible hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and impeccable comfort made for an unforgettable stay. I can’t wait to come back!

    The bed was making some noises, but overall it was not that bad, because we stayed only one night.

    The place was very clean and well maintained. I apreciate the breakfast which was fresh and tasty (omelette, bread, cheese, jam and fresh fruit). We also enjoyed the pool for an evening swimm. The rooms vere clean and spacious, equipped with a small kitchen and AC. The host was very helpfull and it was easy to communicate (about the keys etc.)

    The beds can be a little harder (but then this is my personal choice and others may prefer the soft beds)

    The property was super clean and nice. We fully enjoyed the stay, The hosts prepared very good breakfast every morning and ensured that as vegetarians we were provided with enough options to serve us well. Both WiFi and AC worked very well. Also helped us to get last minute booking for 5 island boat tour. Spotless clear bathrooms with all amenities. Daily cleaning was included. Adequate secured parking space. My son also loved the small pool which was refreshing after the day long boat trip. Will definitely recommend the place. and for sure book again whenever we go back to Mauritius.

    In our room there were no doors to the bathroom. Not a big deal, but a bit surprising.

    The hosts were amazing, helpful and friendly. We stayed for two weeks and they made it feel like home. Price/value for this accommodation is top deal. Location is near the Trou d’Eau Douce where you can find few nice restaurants or go to The Ile aux Cerfs with catamaran. Breakfasts were huge and tasty. It was possible to have dinner as well - we had Christmas bbq with chicken and prawns.
