Village du Pecheur

This is a special hotel. It was designed by an Italian painter (Lorenzo Appiani) in the 1960’s. The forms and contours of the walls and public areas reminiscent of Santorini, the relaxed open layout, the original restored wooden detailing, the materials, everything was selected and planned with a keen eye to have an aesthetic calming effect. It’s the ideal hideaway hotel, perfectly zoned indoor/outdoor dining area, a small number of rooms so it never feels crowded even on the beach directly in front of the hotel. The service was also spectacular, we fondly remember the genuine interest and care shown to us (couple with 4 year old child) by Chez, the main administrator. You may be tempted when looking at the price of a room to go to one of the “flashier” hotels a little up the beach, but be careful! You won’t find the beauty and tranquility there that you’re probably looking for in Seychelles. This hotel is a MUST STAY!

You walk into the port and the first thing you get is a smile. They are fantastic. From the moment you arrive until you leave the hotel. The rooms are very cosy. The rooms are very spacious. We were in the hotel that directly overlooks the beach. The only thing that they should put more care and attention is in the breakfasts. The place where you have breakfast is wonderful but the food needs to be changed. Overall the place is great. The best are the rooms with balcony overlooking the beach.

We had a wonderful stay here for 9 nights, in our opinion on the best part of the beach. Very friendly atmosphere, good service, great tasting food. It’s a nice feeling to dine with your feet in the sand. We chose to upgrade to a deluxe room on the beach side of the hotel, which we highly recommend. Just a few steps to the water. And just a 10-minute boat ride to Curieuse Island with the tortoises. Charles and the others in the reception will make a good deal for you with the rasta guys next door. It’s a great trip. Don’t miss it.

If you’re looking for Paradise on Earth .... this is IT!  This beautifully appointed hotel, originally built by an Italian artist, has all the elegance and charm of a five star hotel.  My partner and I had a sea view balcony room that offers a breath-taking view over the turquoise Indian Ocean.  The hotel, floors, walls and rooms are all in beautiful polished natural stone and marble.  Our bathroom was huge with both bath and large separate shower.  The toilet with bidet was also a separate room.  All the doors were solid arched hardwood as were the extensive wardrobes (with personal safe) and hardwood beamed ceilings.  Really effective and quiet air conditioning.  The huge dining room is open at the far end directly onto the beach and you can dine outside actually on the private beach at night for a truly romantic dinner. The beach is totally white, coral, finest sand with the ocean the most amazing turquoise and sooo warm.  We went 5th June for two weeks (low season) and the beaches were practically empty .... it was an absolute perfect hideaway.  The weather was wonderful (rain some days at night and the odd sprinkle in the day, but always warm and as much sunshine as you’d want).  Great food, fresh fish recommended.  Always well cooked and beautifully presented with personal requirements always fulfilled. BUT!!! ... what really made our holiday so wonderful were the STAFF!!  We would like to mention just a few by name (all of them were great right down to the maintenance man!) but we would personally like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts SANDEEP, who made us special mocktails and divine drinks day and night of his own receipts and was an absolute gentleman and a scholar.  BHAGAT, who served us day and night in the restaurant, on the beach and was just always there with his sunshine smile and gentle kindness, always.  Nothing too much trouble, a really kind and genuine man who served us like we were royalty and made us feel so special.  He chose and played wonderful music every night that was so good we even got up and danced.  It was magical.   RHEICHE (I’ve spelt her name wrong I’m sure) the most lovely lady who served us at meal times, again, so kind, so friendly, always making the time to treat us with such care and warmth.  Last but not least BABIN, our exceptional security guard.  He is from Nepal and is typical of the Nepalese gentlemen.  He made us feel so safe and secure as he patrolled inside and outside ALL night every night.  Always smart, always with a ready smile and just a really lovely man.  All the staff are wonderful.  The Manager, Suren, runs a very tight ship and the guests comfort is his absolute priority.  Thank you all, so much, WE WILL DEFINITELY 

We really enjoyed our staying here, it was more than we expected. Worth the money. The hotel staff was great and nice and especially Sandeep from the hotel helped us book tours and taxis very cheaply, and really cared for us and wanted us to have a nice holiday and save money where we can. And also they great drinks 🍹 😉
