Villa-Malaza

accueil charmant et endroit calme et très agréable. James La Réunion

Villa Malaza is a great hotel with luxurious rooms, a beautiful garden and an overall very safe feeling. The rooms are large with also large bathrooms attached to them. The owner is very friendly and does most of the cooking herself.

Although she tries her best, the vegetarian food of the owner isn't always amazing. But the owner is very willing to accommodate diets, and with some more detailed instructions the meals are fairly decent.

La literie

Les merveilleuses confitures maison servies par la maîtresse des lieux au petit déjeuner…Sans compter le jardin magnifique et la gentillesse de tout le monde…

Le fait de devoir repartir…

Confusion with rooms and obliged to change

I was on a research trip, and first booked the hotel only for one month. As my project was prolonged for another two months, I even did not doubt in which hotel I would stay. So, during all three months at Villa-Malaza, the owners and the staff really cared to make my stay pleasant. The bungalow was kept clean. The hotel had a garden, so that the microclimate was not so hot as expected in a tropical region. Electricity and water were available all around the day (not as natural for the rest of Antalaha!). Villa-Malaza is also somewhat outside the city and thus quiet. On the other hand, connection with the city by tuk tuks is easy. As for disadvantages: Villa-Malaza has no access to a beach for swimming. However, there seems to be only one place for swimming in the whole Antalaha… And the internet is weaker if you prefer to stay in a bungalow. But it is stronger around the main building (normal rooms). Breakfast is rather sweet than salty. So, do not hesitate to clarify with Giséle (the owner) your preferences. Normally, she pays attention to your culinary needs.

WiFi could be stronger. And there were some other minor things like for example a broken towel rail in the bathroom. But everything was clarified rapidly because hotel owners are always available for a direct communication.

everything about this place is perfect, the location, the food, the hospitality, the entertainment, it has a gym in the first floor and has a private beach for picnic. it has everything it says on the picture and more..

Nothing, I loved everything about this place..
