L'Échappée Belle

Réunion


Concealed behind high walls down a cul-de-sac near the mairie (town hall), this bright, contemporary five-room B&B has a number of points in its favour, not least its vast tropical garden and its pool – lovely for unwinding after a day's explorations. There's also a communal kitchen, a Jacuzzi (free) and a dining room in the garden. Downside: there's no air-con.

Bathrooms are clean but would benefit from an upgrade. The friendly couple who run the place are a fount of knowledge on what to see and do in the area.
