Description:
The colonial-style Villa de Cerf is a 'small hotel' located on the beach on Cerf Island. This small island is located off the coast of Mahé in the middle of the protected Sainte Anne Marine Park. This concentration of small islands is unique and the extensive coral reef and the fish population makes Cerf Island popular amongst snorkelling fans.
The Villa de Cerf is located on the northernmost tip of the island, and therefore offers a view of the main island Mahé, as well as of the Marine Park.
Cerf Island's second advantage is its quiet, serene location. The island measures just 1 km (0.6 miles) in length, and there are no cars or vehicles, and little in the way of infrastructure. In fact, the beach that circles the island is the closest thing there is to a proper 'road'. This means that you can comfortably walk from your accommodation to one of the island's two restaurants (one at the Hotel L'Habitation hotel and one at the Cerf Island Resort). However, the Villa de Cerf has its own chef, who serves up delicious Creole and international dishes each morning and evening. Don't miss the special smoked fish salad and the typical grilled fish!
Cerf Island is just a short 5-minute boat trip from the main island of Mahé. The hotel's own taxi-boat makes the trip several times each day, allowing guests to easily reach Mahé's many sights, including the colourful market in Victoria, the Seychelles capital, or one of its many stunning beaches.

It was great here, the nice little accommodation, a great cook, nice people. It was just a shame that the water directly in front of the accommodation was very cloudy. However, we then went around the island in the canoe and found nice spots for snorkeling and swimming. We would really like to come here again on our next stay! Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
great location opposite Eden Island with individual service and spacious rooms, upstairs with great views of the sea from the balcony. The food was adequate, but there was still room for improvement. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
