Cerf island is a lovely little gem. The hotel is clean and nice, with a nice pool and kayaks and snorkel gear available. Since there are really no shops or restaurants on the island, you're at the mercy of the hotel for all meals which seemed rather expensive, even for Seychelles. We had hoped to have a room on the top floor and requested one in advance, and were told we could have it if available on the day of check in; however, when we arrived, we learned that a couple arriving earlier the same day were given the remaining room on the top floor. Our room was on the ground floor, adjacent to the main dining and pool area and it didn't feel very private - as a result, I don't recommend the hotel unless you can be guaranteed to have a room on the top floor.

I don't understand the comment about the availability of the upstairs room, when they stated themselves that they were informed that it is not guaranteed but issued upon check in if available. They asked and I told them there were no upstairs rooms available, perhaps they thought that those in the upstairs rooms were allocated rooms that day, but we had clients upstairs that had checked in 2 days before their arrival and they were long stays departing on the 27th and 31st of May. As for the food being expensive....I guess that's an individual opinion .As for the room it has a view of the pool again it is a personal opinion. As for Restaurants there are two other hotels that has restaurants, it is specified on the web site that the villa is situated on a small island.

Villa de Cerf, just across the pond from Mahe island, away from the hustle and bustle and right into a hidden Paradise, within Paradise. After just 1 week here in the Cozy room, with the warm hospitality, coupled with the Delicious Home Cooked meals under the Stary night sky....made me Wish this was Home. If you're looking for some Privacy, a full Belly, Peace and Quiet... This is the Place.

Just spent 4 days at Villa de Cerf, and really wish we didn't have to leave!!! The Villa in itself is small and intimate with only 4 rooms, making it extremely cozy and homey... but the rooms are large and spacious with a lovely ensuite and balcony. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Wonderful home cooked meals. The perfect getaway!

Such a wonderful place that we had chosen to stay at! The service from the manager Tutsi and the staff was excellent, they were always available whenever we had any requests. The food was outstanding, we had enjoyed the meals prepared by the chef. The rooms were spacious and clean, and to our standards. Overall, a beautiful place to relax, and enjoy by the beach and the pool.

We went there as a group of 12 to celebrate a birthday and we loved it! The villa is beautiful and the decor stylish. The staff, especially Rita, gave us a warm welcome and were very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the buffet lunch and spent a wonderful day by the pool. Could not have chosen a better venue and will certainly recommend it.

The Villa de Cerf is located at the northwest of the small island. There are only four rooms (for a maximum of eight guests), which guarantees a very familiar atmosphere. They are big, clean, and very comfortable.The manager and her chef are living in the back of the house and are available to fulfill the guests' needs almost the whole day. The rest of the staff is also very kind and attentive. The manager Rita will organize day trips, car rentals and transfers as the guests wish. The meals prepared by the young chef are delicious: Breakfasts consists of tea or coffee, juices, fresh fruits or pancakes, a variety of eggs, toast, jam, and butter. There's plenty of everything and you will always get refill if needed. Lunch is a la carte and can be chosen from a variety of dishes.

Very good for a relaxing and quiet break, rooms very comfortable and spacious, better the first floor rooms as the balcony overlooks Mahe and the capitol Victoria. Only drawback is the very limited water taxi services from Mahe to the island and back that doesn't allow guests to dine on Mahe as the last crossing is at 17.30.

This guest house is a wonderful place to spend days of relaxing at a calm Island with a lot of opportunities as snorkeling, kayaking, swimming in the pool right next to the beach, taking a sunbath, hiking on top of the hills ... We had great days there while we were on Honeymoon an enjoyed the excellent service of the whole team there, we had a hudge nice decorated room and really got the best food we tried at the Seychelles. All the little friendly details of this guesthouse made us a pleasant stay. Thanks for all Anna, Charly and your Team. Kind regards from the Honeymoon-Couple from Germany Timm and Birgit

The small island is part of the St. Anne Marine National park and perfect for cayaking and snorkling. We've been here for the third time and we like the privacy and tranquility of this island and the Villa. Ana and her team are perfect hosts and the food is wonderful. We will come back, for sure !
