Bydleli jsme v útulném pokoji s manželskou postelí. Na pokoji byla koupelna se sprchovým koutem i vanou. Pokoj měl funkční klimatizaci a minibar. Každý den probíhal úklid. Celá vila je umístěna na klidném a tichém místě. Má domácí a přátelskou atmosféru, která zapadne do krásného ostrava La Digue. Ubytování poskytuje skvělé snídaně a pronájem kol. Paní majitelka je velmi příjemná a přátelská osoba. Velmi ji záleží na vašem pohodlí a spokojenosti. Pobyt jsme si užili a doporučili bychom ho každému. We stayed in a cozy room with a double bed. The room had a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. The room had working air conditioning and a minibar. Cleaning was done every day. The whole villa is located in a quiet and peaceful place. It has a homely and friendly atmosphere that blends in with the beautiful setting of La Digue. The accommodation provides a great breakfast and bike hire. The lady owner is a very nice and friendly person. She cares very much about your comfort and satisfaction. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone. Postel by mohla být tišší. Bed could be quieter.…

A comfortable local home – also the most expensive place we stayed in the Seychelles. You will discover that on La Digue everything costs more than Praslin or Mahe. We stayed here for a week, booking via agoda. This is intended to be a fair, impartial review of our stay. First you need to know that this isn’t a hotel or self catering apartment, it is a room in a Seychellois house - a pleasant, comfortable room, with en-suite bathroom, fridge, a/c and fan. Our bathroom shower was hot, the basin, bidet and bath only have cold water. On the plus side, the retired teacher owner is keen that guests enjoy their stay and sets them up with a good breakfast of seasonal fruit, bread and eggs. At the front door, there is a breezy shared verandah with two comfortable seats, to enjoy the lovely garden, filled with tropical plants and flowers. Please note that contrary to the Seychelles Tourism guide, there is no TV or personal safe in the room. We only discovered there was (paid) internet here on our last day, as the wifi didn’t reach our room. We walked from the jetty with two wheeled bags, but in the heat of the day would recommend taking a taxi unless you are exceptionally fit, more acclimatised or travel extremely light. Over 10 Euros for a five minute drive is extortionate, but as I said, on La Digue everything costs more. The walk started easy enough, but the final stretch to the Guest House is a bit steep. When the road in front rises alarmingly and you think ‘I can’t possibly drag my bag up here,’ look to the right. The house sign is above the door, but is only visible from above, when you have walked past. I did suggest they could have a sign put up at the junction and another at the house gate. The location is lovely if you want peace and quiet, but is at least a 20 minute walk from the main village amenities, so you need to walk or ride for meals, although there is a well-stocked mini-market a five minute walk from the junction. Other reviewers have said that the owner cooked meals for them, but this was not offered. On some listings the kitchen is listed as communal, but if this is the case it was not made clear to us. We made up lunches in our bathroom, buying a knife and other cutlery in the local hardware shop. The Zerof Café is just beyond the shop, but be aware there is a take-away and sit-in section. Prices in the latter are twice as expensive and service is poor. With two staff (watching television) and only two customers (us), they still managed to get my wife’s order wrong. We paid 10 euro for a cheese and ham sandwich! The Gala take-away 300 metres past the Veuve Reserve has far better choice. Carry on up the road from Liane de Mai to find the Belle Vue viewpoint café. It is a mind-bogglingly steep walk however, we only managed a few hundred yards beyond Liane de Mai before becoming soaked with sweat and exhausted. Apparently if you book a meal, they will drive you up. We also discovered on our last morning that the trucks with seats at the back, which hurtle around the lanes act as local buses. It would be worth waiting until one comes along, flag it down and pay your Rs7 to get a lift to the top. I would recommend asking about internet, the kitchen, transport and anything else when you arrive, we didn’t, so missed out on a few things - which is our own fault. If you are looking for a resort, close to amenities, this is the wrong place. If you want somewhere homely to experience a bit of Sesel life, this is a good choice, which whilst not exactly cheap, isn’t crazily expensive. Just don’t drag your bags all the way from the jetty!…

The guesthouse is located very central, close to everything, and easily accessible by bike. The house is literally build upon the typical granite rocks you see everywhere in the Seychelles. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The lady of the house makes you feel welcome immediately, is very nice to chat with and prepares a lovely breakfast for you in the morning. She even arranged two fresh coconuts for us because it was our last day. Good value for money. I would recommend this to others! Thanks for everything!!!

We spent a week at Liane de Mai and were very happy that we did. The house and rooms were immaculate and the breakfasts amazing, keeping us going almost to dinner! There are two main reasons that I would recomend this as a place to stay, firstly, Lauria who was born and has spent her life on the island and worked as headmistress in the local school and so is known and respected by seemingly everyone on the island. Secondly the house is located halfway up the main peak of the island which means that it is relatively cool at night and very quiet. Lauria also has a beautiful garden. The house is a 15 minute walk from the harbour and about 25 minutes from the nearest beach.

Lauria the owner is such a wonderful person, and very caring! i stayed in Liane de mai for 4 days and it was the best b&b i stayed in throughout seychelles . she wants to make sure you are having a nice stay, and is not intrusive at all. She's genuinely a nice person and her home is always spotless clean. Her breakfast is also to die for ! she makes you feel very welcome, and her house is located is a nice and quiet area far from the noise of the city center. she can recommend you a very nice hiking guide (Robert) and places to go : all her contacts are as nice as her.

What a joy to be with Lauria in her beautiful home. I love the dining area and the faint smell of flowering vine after which the pension is named. You are not right on the water but once there it doesn't matter. Lauria retired from being the head teacher on the island. She is a gem of a person in a gem of a location. I am happier therethan almost any place on earth.

Words are not enough to describe our warm and authentic stay at Liane De Mai. From the moment we arrived we immediately felt at home. The house has two pretty rooms which are clean and tidy decorated with flowers from the garden. Attached is a spacious bathroom with hot shower, towels (daily changed) and even a tub (not like you will be needing it with all the fantastic beaches around). Surrounding the house is a beautiful garden filled with flowers, tropical fruits and huge bolder blocks, my favorite was the one resembling a shark. The true charm of Liane De Mai is Lauria. She is a remarkable woman which gracefully takes care of her guests. It’s in every detail from how she greets you and asks about your day to how she serves you a yummy homemade breakfast. She truly cares about her guests and even took in to consideration that I had allergies against certain fruits and prepared a special fruit juice for me. After spending a long day at the beach we would always ride our bikes home to the guest house instead of heading out. We even had the opportunity to share dinners with Lauria served in all humbleness with tastes that tickled our senses. A true honor! I have traveled to +45 countries and stayed in hundreds of accommodations and for me Lauria’s simple yet charming guesthouse comes out on top. It is one of those places that is difficult to leave and you which you had booked a couple of more nights. My wife and I are dreaming about coming back to share new unforgettable memories with Lauria. If you want a personal warm place to stay look no further. Spend as many days as possible and forget about the other islands, La Digue is the best! If you don’t believe me ask the French couple that left to Praslin only to return back to Liande De Mai the next day after canceling their hotel on Praslin.…

Lauria looks after you in a kind, caring way that makes you feel so welcome. Her trick is to do this in a way that is not intrusive but makes you feel incredibly relaxed and welcome. She is a brilliant hostess. The house is spotless, the rooms spacious and comfortable and the breakfasts amazing. If you want a proper home away from home in a beautiful, peaceful setting, I would always recommend the Liane de Mai guesthouse.

I stayed with Loria last week and I had a FABULOUS time. She welcomes you into her home wholeheartedly and she has a beautiful home. My room was large, airy, light and quiet with a very spacious en suite bathroom. The whole house is spotlessly clean and the gardens are manicured to perfection. It is just up the hill, about 100m from the Belle Vue Cafe sign, as you are approaching the steep hill. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed staying at Liane de Mai and what a wonderful woman Loria is. The breakfasts were staggering, with everything homemade. Some days I was worried I would sink while snorkelling, I had eaten so much! At night it is silent all around (even more than the rest of La Digue!) and the stars are so clear in the sky. I felt extremely sad when I left and I will definitely return…
