WEST COAST - Albion - Villa facing the blue ocean with Private Pool

We stayed in the villa for 4 nights in August 2024. We had a self-check-in, as our host Francoise was abroad herself. However, Check-in was easy as described, WA-communication with Francoise as well, and there was a telephone contact to a neighbour in case of problems (wich we didn't need). The house is very nice, situated near the sea with sea-view from the upper story. The public beach is some hundred meters away but very nice, clean and quiet. The house is clean and equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed the big terrace with the small pool. As Albion is a touristically rather quiet spot for Mauritius, I recommend to have a rental car to be mobile. In summary, we really enjoyed our stay, Thank you very much Francoise!

Property had great interior with full kitchen and up-stairs bedrooms with great views of the ocean. Wonderful tohear the sounds of the ocean day and night.

This is a gorgeous property next to the ocean shore. Looking a little closer you see bars on the windows and inside doors. We rated the check in very low because we were not told about the security system which turned into a costly mistake when our phone, camera and documentation was stolen in the night as we slept. So all pictures are gone and we recovering from stolen identity actions. Really nice location, but crime can be a problem for tourists. The property manager very quickly resolved broken locks and security concerns but offered no financial support.

We had a fabulous week in Mauritius and used the villa as a base to explore the island in our hire car. Francoise, the owner, was abroad dealing with family issues but kept in full contact throughout. Charonne greeted us the morning after our late evening arrival and showed a great deal of hospitality...nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to have some provisions provided and a home cooked meal left in the fridge for our arrival. This was very much appreciated after a long flight and drive trying to find the villa in the dark, with poorly lit streets, street names and diversions due to construction of a new bridge in Albion . At first we were concerned with the electric fence around the property, but it proved that this was more of a deterrent and we had little to worry about...the most we heard were the birds chirping away around the villa in the day time and the numerous stray dogs barking at night. A word of warning...do be careful if driving at night as there are many more hazards on the roads than in the UK!!( Cyclists do not use lights, pedestrians walk on roads with no footpaths and stray days frequently lie in the middle of the road). Overall, a lovely holiday was had and it was good to come back to the peace and tranquillity of the villa and the pool after a busy day touring and exploring the island. Just a suggestion..it might be useful to provide guests with a folder in the villa of useful information such as nearest large supermarket, places to go and things to do etc. Thank you to both Francoise and Charonne for making our holiday so enjoyable.
