Demeure de Cap Macon

· 1. General impression It looks like an old general's dacha outside Moscow. It used to be cool, but now everything is in a deplorable, dilapidated state. Yes, there is antique furniture and doors made of expensive wood. But everything has dried out, is warped, does not open/close, creaks, the plaster is falling off in places, the electrics are a disaster - cut wires (current-carrying?) are sticking out everywhere, sockets are falling out of the walls, the ceiling fan sparks and starts smoking burnt plastic when turned on (the owner honestly warned about this and gave us a floor fan instead), etc. The pros are clean. The cons are some kind of poor kitchen equipment: three or four mismatched glasses, the same number of plates, three forks for a four-bed room... and so on. There can be no talk of proper cooking and serving. Well, here you could have spent a hundred bucks and made a decent minimum of accessories?! Rusty refrigerators, etc. - we don't pay attention, allowance for the climate. In short - an old colonial mansion in complete disrepair. 2. A separate achtung! All the rooms, especially the room on the first (basement) floor, stink terribly of a musty cellar. It is really impossible to be there. The owner denies everything, says there is no smell, don't show off. It is impossible to accurately identify this room from the photographs, it seems the owner is passing it off as a "superior room" or "standard suite" depending on the situation. On this floor, besides this room, there are only utility rooms. 3. Location This is the outskirts of the island. Within 15 minutes' walk there is one stall and one micro-eatery (I must give it credit - very tasty and inexpensive, but visually - a hole in the hole). A car is a must have, and even then - it will take an hour to get to the center one way. But! There are wild hiking trails nearby, and super secluded magnificent beaches, which can only be reached on foot in 1-2-3 hours. And know - from the main road these 100 meters to the house are strictly up a steep mountain. 4. The owner - customer focus is not her thing. Inadequate and difficult

Siamo stati alla Demeure de Cap Macon nel mese di agosto 2022. L'alloggio domina la baia sottostante, una delle più belle dell'isola, circondato da una vegetazione lussureggiante e immerso in un giardino molto curato. Abbiamo soggiornato per una settimana in quattro nell'appartamento Family con due camere, due bagni, un ampio soggiorno con angolo cottura, tv, Wi-Fi e una bella veranda vista mare. L'alloggio era arredato con gusto, pulitissimo, fresco e silenzioso. La colazione nella veranda della casa padronale una delizia, con frutta fresca tropicale, spremute, uova, bacon, marmellata di papaya fatta in casa e la gentilezza dei padroni di casa ci ha subito conquistato. Jean Louis è stato estremamente disponibile e attento a ogni nostro bisogno, Marie Anne una cuoca eccezionale che una sera ci ha deliziato con una cena creola a base di pesce, crostacei e verdure tradizionali, veramente indimenticabile. Se dovessimo tornare alle Seychelles, soggiorneremmo qui senza alcun dubbio.
