L’emplacement est excellent, Ă  5 minutes de marche de la plage grande anse. Le logement a tout ce qu’il faut, une vrai petit havre de paix. Les hĂŽtes, Clarisse et Didier, sont parfaits! À la fois discrets et disponibles, ils sont trĂšs accueillants et offrent de trĂšs bons conseils pour bien profiter de votre sĂ©jour en Guadeloupe.

Great times at Les Vanilles

My family and our friends (who stayed at the other cottage) had such a great time at Clarisse's and Didier's spotlessly kept property. The unit was beautifully decorated, clean and had all the necessities to make a great spot to retreat after a sunny day at the beach (and there are many!). Pool is wonderful addition to already splendid place. Clarisse and Didier were very welcoming and caring and their smiles bright up even rainy days. Car is essential to my opinion, especially when with kids. Deshaies is few kilometers away but there is great little restaurant apprx. 500 meters from Les Vanilles, little before the roundabout.

Wonderful stay in lovely GĂźte

We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Karaibe GĂźte. Everything was perfect and the GĂźte is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Eric and Antoinette gave us a lovely breakfast on our first morning , wonderful desserts and bananas from the garden. Lovely welcoming people who looked after us very well. The garden faces the tropical forest and the sounds of the frogs and hummingbird s visiting are absolutely wonderful. So relaxing a place to be. Just a little note that there is no mobile phone signal available at property and you have to go in the car to the top of the hill nearby to get a signal.

Un nid douillet dans un jardin paradisiaque

Nous avons passĂ© un sĂ©jour inoubliable aux Vanilles. Le gite est conforme Ă  l'annonce, confortable, dĂ©corĂ© avec goĂ»t et d'une propretĂ© impeccable. On s'y sent bien. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© trĂšs bien accueilli. Clarisse et Didier sont trĂšs accueillant, pleins de bons conseils et d'attentions (punch, bananes du jardin). C'Ă©tait un rĂ©el plaisir d'Ă©changer avec eux. Le gĂźte est situĂ© Ă  cĂŽtĂ© de Deshaies, petite ville trĂšs sympa. Et que dire du jardin, si ce n'est qu'il est vraiment Ă©poustouflant. On ne peut qu'ĂȘtre Ă©merveillĂ©.

Nice place next to the forest

Alles in allem war die Ferienwohnung wunderbar! Soweit fehlt es an nichts, die Basics sind vorhanden. In diesem tollen Klima braucht man ohnehin nicht viel. Wir wurden durch die Gastgeber herzlich empfangen und immer mit guten Tips, RatschlĂ€gen versorgt. Nebenan gibt es eine zweite Ferienwohnung, was kein Problem darstellt, aber durchaus gut zu wissen ist. Ein gutes Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr viele AktivitĂ€ten!

Tout simplement parfait

Les Vanilles sont un vĂ©ritable petit paradis ! Le cadre nous transporte instantanĂ©ment dans une ambiance tropicale. Quel bonheur de se rĂ©veiller le matin au chant des oiseaux. Les gĂźtes sont charmants, dĂ©corĂ©s avec soin et surtout impeccablement Ă©quipĂ©s. Clarisse et Didier sont des personnes extrĂȘmement sympathiques et trĂšs accueillantes. MalgrĂ© notre arrivĂ©e tardive, de petites attentions nous attendaient, et ils ont Ă©tĂ© de trĂšs bon conseil tout au long de notre sĂ©jour. Notre seul regret aura Ă©tĂ© de ne pas rester quelques jours de plus pour profiter davantage de l'environnement et de la sympathie de nos hĂŽtes! Nous recommandons Ă  100%.

We actually came to Guadeloupe for the 4th time and this was definitely the best accomodation we had. The patio was virtually at the edge of the forest and the lush green plants and the birds were very impressive. The hosts were very friendly and they didn't only give us many useful advices but also helped us to organize things.
