Notes on accommodation
The villa is located in a beautiful tropical garden which is over 4500 sq.m. There is an abundance of amazing flora and fauna which will appeal to nature lovers. The total privacy offered makes the villa ideal for those who really want to unwind and relax in paradise. The garden is safe for children and there are no main roads nearby. The villa is located on a private residential area and no noisy neighbours!
One of the best aspects of your stay apart from the very good standard of accommodation, is the very kind and helpful staff. Anjanee, our head housekeeper speaks perfect English and french and will ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay at our villa. She is also an excellent cook and can prepare a mouthwatering array of local and continental recipes. She will also acccompany you on your first shopping trip if you need her to help you chose some tasty local ingredients. There is a gardener and pool cleaning service daily. We also have excellent rates for car hire.
Outside
The tropical garden with exotic fruit, flowers and trees offers plenty of space for unwinding in peaceful surroundings even if there are 9 of you as there is so much space outside. The area around the pool is ideal for sunbathing and there are 6 pool loungers and also a shaded terrace if the sun gets too hot! The garden offers space for bareques and sipping long cool cocktails watching the sunset. There is plenty of outdoor furniture for dining and barbecues. The house staff will also be happy to give you any help you need for entertaining and dining.
The pool is totally private and is graduated in depth with a 2m depth at the deepest end. There is also a baby pool which is ideal for toddlers and small children.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach to the villa is the public beach at Poste Lafayette. It is peaceful and never very crowded as beaches on the north or west coast can be and the views are spectacular. The beach takes 5-7 minutes to reach on foot or less than a minute by car. There is also a coast guard office on site for your peace of mind and security. They are always very friendly and can give you lots of advice on the best spots to swim and snorkel.
Golf
The links golf course is a 5,492m 18-hole course designed by Peter Allis. With its wide open spaces and rolling terrain, elevated trees, challenging dog legs and water hazards on six holes. The clubhouse, situated on the highest point on the course, enjoys magnificent panoramic views of this beautiful island.
Off the east coast of Mauritius, a short hop across a coral lagoon in a 'golfing special' water taxi from the 5 star Le Touessrok Hotel, this extraordinary course stands on its very own tropical island, Ile aux Cerfs, fringed by white sands. All 18 holes have spectacular views on the Ocean.
There are 9 lakes in all so the course achieves designer Bernhard Langer's intention of challenging advanced players, while remaining exciting and playable for recreational golfers. The views and the excitement of the course are breathtaking.
It's the longest course in Mauritius at over 6,476m. The fast greens are mostly small and undulating, requiring precise approach shots.
Travel
Plaisance is the nearest airport and is 40km or 1 hour 15 minutes drive.
For your convenience we can arrange additional car hire from around only £20 per day.
Distances
The nearest commercial town is Flacq and is located 10 mins drive away. There is also a good bus service to Flacq. Here there are shops, banks and supermarkets for all your needs. The villages of Belle Mare and Trou d'eau douce are 8 and 15 mins drive away. Here there are plenty of local shops and good restaurants - Chinese, Mauritian or sea food specialities.
Further details
Many activities are available at the public beaches. At Belle Mare there is waterskiing, windsurfing, snorkelling, parasailing and deep sea diving with courses for all levels available. At Ile aux Cerfs, there is also parasailing, waterskiing and excellent snorkelling. You get there by taking a boat from the village of Trou d'eau Douce.
With the abundance of excellent hotels on the east coast, you can also pre book treatments at the spas. We recommend the Prince Maurice and the Residence as the range and quality of the treatments are excellent.
The more touristy region of Grand Baie is 30 mins away by car. Here, you will find a large range of bars and restaurants but you need to choose carefully as some are better than others!!
We recommend 2 excellent local restaurants. The first is Chez Manuel at Saint Julien Village which offers local dishes, speciality of Chinese and seafood.
The other is Le Four a Chaud which serves excellent seafood and is located overlooking the Indian Ocean at Trou d'eau Douce. There is also a good local take away at lunch times called Chez Nizam at Roches Noires. The final local restaurant you must try is La Maison d'ete which is 5 mins away by car. You need to book a table in advance but the food is excellent with a variety of local and continental dishes.
Booking notes
We can keep an option on dates for between 3 and 5 days depending on the season. A deposit of 35% is required to confirm the booking and the final balance must be paid 15 weeks prior to departure. A deposit of £200 is also required for the local telephone calls and any breakages. This will be refunded once you leave and the inventory has been checked.
Guest comments
Dear Neshat,
I would like to thank you for making us welcome at the Villa Quatre Epices.
The villa is very comfortable, we particularly enjoyed the rattan chairs for relaxing in the evening, after a fun day on the beach and beside the lovely swimming pool. There is plenty of space for 6 guests and comfortable armchairs for us all. We enjoyed going out early in the morning on to the balcony to greet the new day. Jay is a delight and so quietly cleans the pool every morning while Sunita decorated our breakfast table with beautiful tropical flowers from the garden. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the air conditioning useful. The offer of an evening meal cooked by the maid had great appeal. Infact the villa gave us all everything we could have wanted and we enjoyed ourselves to the limit.
Mauritius is delightful, who knows, perhaps we will return one day, I would love to. Best wishes, Marilyn, United Kingdom
