Chambres d'hôtes DORIS

If you are reading this review then you know that the Reunion Isle is a long way to go and you need a good reason to visit. Trekking around the huge crater at Cilaos is one good reason, staying at this house should be the second. After the stunning trip up from the coast with 400 corners and single lane tunnels you need to relax before making you trekking plans out of the crater which surrounds the community. Gabrielle and William are a lovely young couple who work really hard to make you feel welcome. They offer rooms in a creole style house which is in a small hamlet near Cilaos. The house is simply furnished and spacious. As we were travelling in a group of two couples we had bathroom and toilet sharing rooms. Plenty of room and clean. We decided to take up the evening meal option which was varied and copious with local fresh produce and local drinks. Gabrielle explained all about the food and here cooking was excellent. As we left after three days we felt that we were leaving friends and the stay here certainly ranks as one of the high spots in our holiday. Reunion is special. So is this charming hotel with such amazing hosts.
