They are small properties located in beautiful surroundings, because we feel these elements influence the charm of your stay.

One of the charms of Madagascar is to eat ‘à la carte’. Your guide is extremely knowledgeable and will be more than happy to recommend local restaurants for a touch of the local offerings.
