Villa Yrondi

We stayed there for 6 days across a big birthday. I didn't want to stay in one of the mega-expensive resorts, I wanted something with character. And the Villa clearly exceeded my expectations, it was super nice. Yes, it has a bit patina and if you look for all-day pampering, you probably need to stay in the ultra-luxury resorts. But if you want to experience life on the island, stay in a super nice and super friendly environment that was designed by an artist, you cannot fail. Everything was just very pleasant and we felt super looked-after. The value for money is unbeatable

Beautiful room and terrace and Valerie was a gracious host

The plunge pool did not seem very clean, lots of bird feathers from the cute parakeets that live on the terrace. The larger communal pool was also not very inviting.

Very charming guest house, conveniently located close to the ferry and public beaches. Restaurants and shops were within 10 minutes distance by bike. Breakfast is available upon request and there is also a bike rental available for 1000 XPF per day. Valerie was a great host and took good care of all my inquiries!

This is a guesthouse, so no meals. La Fermette, a cafe/restaurant at the bottom of the lane, is great though, with a snowy mountain theme. Free transfer to the yacht club can be arranged by Villa Yrondi for dinner, which was nice. Villa Yrondi is a French colonial villa and the owner lives on the top floor. The bedrooms were spacious and had air con. Free bicycles for guest use.

My shower was an enthusiastic dribble and the bed frame squeaked even if you nudged it with your leg - difficult to sleep.
