Maison de Jardin: Location and Description
The house was used as a filming location for the 1983 film "West of Paradise" and was featured in a book about the most unique houses in the Seychelles.
In 2017 the house was fully renovated. Italian materials and décor were used, but the Creole character was kept.
The word unique is often overused, but it does apply to this house. Amenities include privacy, authenticity, luxury and comfort, as well as two giant tortoises.
The villa is surrounded by a tropical garden and lies between Beau Vallon and the town centre.
