La Maison de Rosalie

Top choice in The East


Relax and feel at home in this enchanting Creole house that has bags of charm and atmosphere. It's spacious, light and airy, with two bedrooms, spick-and-span bathrooms and a kitchen. It opens onto a vast garden dotted with plenty of tropical trees. A great choice. One downside: no air-con.
