Great villa close to a beautiful small beach (2 minutes down the hill). The breakfast was awesome and the owners took care of everything (they are the heart of the villa). Clean and good bed room, cars can be rented there. Also the dinner can be ordered in the morning and we can highly recommend this (price was good for the Seychelles)

Retrying this review as my previously submitted reviews appears to have disappeared. My wife and I stayed 2 nights starting October 18th, 2023. A nice hotel and excellent service by the staff. Beach, mini-mart and nice restaurant (Rock Pool) near by. Brian (the owner) went way beyond being helpful by driving us in a couple of instances. Our room looked out over the ocean and it was very relaxing to sit on the veranda and observe nature. We would gladly stay there again.

Glacis Heights Villa is a truly exceptional B&B. Location is excellent. Breakfast is top notch and made to order. And the owners/hosts do everything possible to make you feel at home. They are also exceptional concierges and a wealth of information about the island and options. You will not be disappointed with this place, and it rivals any 5 star hotel in quality and attention to detail.
Rooms are exceptionally clean and well maintained.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Glacis Heights for 10 days, we were very satisfied with the service which we received.
Below are good and bad points of our stay.
Good points:
- Brian is a great host, very friendly, always welcoming, goes far and beyond to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. Helping us with general advise on excursions, restaurants and shops, taxis, giving bug repellent, lifts to and from places, bus timetables, maps, car rentals, email addresses and contact numbers of locations and trips, (without us even needing to ask). - The location is good, with a lovely view and not too far away from shops and restaurants. - Some others at Seychelles staying in other accomodations were having trouble finding a genuine car rental, whereas we had a car rental at our accommodation - Breakfast was good, very tasty, i enjoyed the atmosphere. - Our room was also nice, cleaned most days, tv, own wifi, shower, jacuzzi bath, shower gel and shampoo etc.
Improvements:
These improvements didnt ruin our holiday, wouldnt effect us coming back to Glacis Heights Villa and were very minor, however for some people may be taken a bit differently.
- (For breakfast you choose the night before the food and the time you would like it) the selection of food is not huge, but enough for most people (fruit, yoghurt, a selection of cooked breakfast, toast or pancakes), being a vegetarian however it would have been great to be able to have a larger cooked breakfast than beans and an egg. - My boyfriend who eats a lot also was still very hungry after breakfast as you are unable to select the quantity, (2 toast, 1 egg, 1 hash browns etc) . - Food took a little longer than expected, especially when a little busy, sometimes taking up to 15mins. -A few mornings we didnt have the right order. - We realised the yoghurt pots offered were around 6 months out of date. **- I asked for tea one morning, which comes in a tea pot, this was very dirty, with spider webs in and around the pot and a spider was inside the tea pot, which came to a huge surprise as we werent sure how this wasnt seen before given to us.
- Cleanliness within the room is at a normal standard, after a while you do see there is a lot of dirt and dust around in some places (lamp, cupboards and wardrobes, bed frame etc) , however at a first glance and being there for a couple days, this wouldn’t stand out - Towels / beach towels werent changed every day which was an annoyance when going to the beach most days.
All in all lovely trip and will hopefully return, the negatives are easy to improve and i’m sure these will be improved in the future.
Not recommended for a honeymoon accommodation but nice for a couple or family.

Loved loved LOVED staying here. Not only a charming and cute B+B, but the facilities are great (aircon, 2 person jacuzzi bath, fairy lights on dining area, fantastic pool). Brian is super friendly and makes you feel so at home staying here.
The room is gorgeous with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea (+ Silhouette island/sunset views). Beach towels provided. Also v handy, but almost always missing: a bottle opener in the room! Hurrah!
Breakfast, you fill out a form w your choices the night before. Lovely balcony breakfast!
The Wifi is spotty but Brian said new internet provider is currently being installed!
We stayed in basic, slightly worn accommodation on La Digue so this was palastial and luxurious in comparison.
Thank you Beryl and Brian! Hope to be back one day!

It's pretty rare to meet people like Brian and Beryl in any walk of life. Suffice to say all the previous reviews proved to be spot on.
The hospitality was fantastic, and they couldn't have been kinder or more helpful.
The villa was impeccably clean, the rooms tastefully furnished, the breakfasts perfect and with amazing views throughout.
Great service, a wonderful setting, from people who genuinely care.

We stayed here only for a day, unfortunately. Place is so comfortable, you are sure to feel at home. The hosts treated us like we have known them since very long. Very humble and extremely helpful hosts. Breakfast was great. So much greenery in the entrance of the home. We took the room as well as the apartment as we were 4. We definitely liked the apartment better. More spacious and privacy. We could cook what we needed. The view from the balcony is great. The place is 15 mins by bus to Beau Vallon beach and restaurants. If you are not hiring a car, bus is cheapest. You can also walk down to small beaches nearby. There are couple of stores right below the house for anything you want to buy. I would definitely want to go back for longer.

We had great 2 nights at the beautiful house of Beryl and Brian. The view was awesome, the room clean and comfortable and the breakfast was the best we had on the islands. Important to mention as well is the exceptional care of Brian giving so many recommendations and doing his best for you to have the best time. A rental car might be recommended. We hope to see you guys one day again.. Good on ya, mate!

Mahe was the last place we visited and my husband and I were glad we did it. Especially after staying at Glacis Heights and having great hosts as Brian and Beryl. Brian shared a lot of tips about Mahe and its restaurants, we found out that Beryl is well known for her massage skills in town and Irene cooks great pancakes of our delicious breakfast!!! The view is also beautiful and we took amazing pictures of the sunset right on the small beach down the road. Room is clean, nice atmosphere, worth to stay there.

Hello Heeguri
local buses are very cheap but you will spend a lot of time waiting for one. We are located near nice beaches and eating places in Beau Vallon which can be travelled by bus .... getting a taxi back is reasonable. To travel generally by taxi is expensive although we do have taxi contacts which offer reasonable prices. To travel south of Mahe by bus is possible but again you will spend considerable time waiting.
kind regards .... Brian
Hi. I had a company transport for the airport pick up. No idea of the taxi charges. As I am a teatotaller, I did not visit any bars. But yes, there are some bars near the waterfront close to Glacis
Hi Peter,
We do have hire car connections that will deliver a car here at Glacis or the airport. Pricing at present is from €40-45 per day for a manual i10 Hyundai which is economical or €45-50 per day for a automatic. Please provide us with your needs if you wish to hire a car ie dates / pick up from and return location / manual or automatic.
Regards...Brian
