Arnaud and Nouba are excellent hosts and our stay here was the perfect getaway. The food was sensational and such a great price! I recommend this accommodation for those wanting something very special - away from the business of the south.

We had a great week with family at Arnaud and Nuba. It's paradise here exclaimed our daughter Maëlle discovering "The Right Place". After our stay, we all agree with it. Our girls enjoyed the company of Fabiola and Bout during their games. The separation was difficult. The "good place" is located in the northern part of the island, in the less touristy part and that, that we liked. We did not go south of the island or to the island with mats. We landed after 3 weeks of visiting the Big Island. We have discovered the joys of scooter. This allowed us to move easily to different things to see. The meals were very good and healthy and even custom made. We ate a lot of fresh products all came from the sea. We enjoyed meeting other travelers, learning a new card game and new games. also thank you for sharing book. In short, Arnaud and Nuba, thank you for your welcome. The island of Sainte Marie will remain a highlight of our trip. Perhaps we will return one day to see you and see the whales. Meanwhile, the adventure continues for us.

Thank you so much for this very nice stay , it has been so great , so relaxing and comfortable !!! Thanks for your support during my illness, thanks for the great food , what a little paradise you have there ! It was one of our favorite places in Madagascar , and we will recommend and have already recommended your place as much as possible ! 5 stars !!!! Good luck and maybe we see each other again ! Leif and Tina

Everything happened as it was described: simple exchanges, simple, good food and the constant desire to please us. An ideal place to learn idleness, which is not always easy in our European mentality. Obviously this is the good life compared to what was seen in the rest of Madagascar, but it was the perfect end to a month of leave in triumph.

A great time spent at the Right Place! The setting is very relaxing and enjoyable. The available canoes allow you to discover the surroundings. One can also rent scooters. Arnaud showed us a waterfall in the village and proposed a walk through the rice fields. At meals, Nuba and employees we were regaled good food: zebu, squid, crab, ... delicacies! In short a very enjoyable week at the island Sainte-Marie!

Great experience !!! Thank you for the patience of Arnaud and Nuba and their team.

Paradise on Earth!!!!! Very very good place for those who want to leave the luxury hotel circuit, tourists, etc. The 3 villas are situated on the beach, feet in water .... Sunrise and sunset in the first line of the sun. Home all equipped, menage by the lovely Caroline and her husband venoch. Possibility to visit or transit guides on the island thanks to Lalaina (very good availabilty). Mandatory scooter rental or tuk-tuk for a villa situated 4km from the "capital" but this has not been a problem at all. Ste Marie is really a virgin place of the tourist invasion and retains all its charm and authenticity. Paradisiacal landscape, very friendly people, music, crabs, lobsters, litchies .... etc.etc. Very, very good place and very good qlite money. Recommend ++++++

Très agréable. Les pieds dans l'eau. Surclassés à notre arrivée. Bien placé. Nous recommandons volontiers !!!

Marc and Peggy were extremely gracious hosts. Communication was excellent. The photos don't do the place justice - it's stunningly beautiful, private, clean and feels very safe. You can watch the sun set over the water every night. Marc was able to help facilitate all the activities my friend and I wanted to do on the island for a good price. The staff were lovely and took great care of us. Would highly recommend Samaria to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday on Sainte Marie.

An unforgettable stay in Mark and his family, who were taken care of us for 1 week, which organized excursions according to our desires, he sent us a scooter for us to visit the island. The bungalows are spacious and very clean. We ate very well all the food is really well cooked a delight. You understood at Marc is a true paradise departure is difficult it attaches quickly to his family ... I advice as to the family that couple. Marc thank you for all. Jonathan & Sarah

Amazing property. The Owner and manager Marc, + his wife and the crew make you feel at home since arrival. Any type of support/help needed is immediately sorted out by Marc who treats each customer as a friend, as a relative, genuinely caring about you. My husband spoted out simething that was really important, we were not Mr. & Ms X from room Y. We were Kim & Olga. They new our routines after second day staying with them.... I can tell that this has been one of our best vacations since long ago , and i travel 75% of my time. Definetely even it is challenging to arrive to Ile Sainte Marie, i am looking forward to be back in future and i miss a lot the quietness, relax time and peaceful life at Samaria.

Superb stay with Mark and Peggy, beautiful setting (see aerial photos ;-), well maintained and tastefully decorated. Marc has guided us for tours (he knows the island by heart) and provided us with a scooter. The only big negative ... Very hard to leave, even my wife was moved to leave the (sniff). Again thank you Marc, Peggy, children and all the staff. PS: do not forget to sample the rums.

It was amazing. Good food, loved the view, bungalows were in very good shape. Marc is ready to help you with anything you need: transport, advice, 1 day trips. Feel free to ask him any kind of information. His staff is also very nice. All in all, the stay at Marc's exceeded my expectations.

We really enjoyed the week to wind down our Madagascar trip. It is a very beautiful area with so far 4, 5 soon, modeled on the native huts, beautiful bungalows. The owners are very nice and in the accompanying restaurant the boss himself cooks very well. Marc speaks very good English and will help you like it to organize one or the other little thing. The island itself was compared to our small tour (partly with rented vehicle incl. Driver / guide) on the main island a little less exciting, but is a great place to relax. One can here (as in the rest of Madagascar) enjoy a very beautiful landscape and learn nice people.

extremely warm welcome. If you come to St. Mary's and you have more questions, Marc will respond with great joy (and remains available even when you do not sleep more at home!). Very good food. typical friendly lodge ... I highly recommend. Thanks again for everything ! (The return to France's complicated ...)

Very welcoming, beautiful landscape. Only flat, clean toilets, other than that a very pleasant and quiet stay in a heavenly place.

Cozy spacious bungalow with a beautiful view! Lida's cooking is delicious and gave us a (yummy) taste of Malagasy cuisine. She and her husband have been very helpful in organizing our stay on the island.

The stay has been amazing chez Nina. The place is a paradise and their treatement of people is wonderful. Nina and Hermes are two great persons, helpful, kind and they take care of every detail and also is their staff. If I ever come back to Sainte Marie, I will definitely go to their place again.

We were pleasantly surprised by the reception, very simple and kind people. Housing, decent, clean and well maintained. Sainte-Marie is a beautiful island, you have come.

Short stay in the bungalow feet in the water but everything was perfect, the photos correspond to the description. we had a very friendly welcome from Germano and staff enough for us. mariens the saint are lovely people and the saint marie island is so heavenly that we will return to the festival of the whales. To move there many tuk tuk or by bike we would have loved to stay longer and enjoy this quiet sitting in the lounge chairs waterfront. Without hesitation, here you go.

I had the opportunity to spend a stay in tongasoabeach with friends, hosting Eusebe and staff was really great, the house was in line with expectations and the description beforehand. The villa was ideally placed in a simply heavenly landscape, we could enjoy the whales which was only 200m from the shore, with a breathtaking view on the terrace. I leave with a pleasant and wonderful surprise of this rental, great memories and wonderful encounters. I highly recommend this rental

Upon arrival I was greeted by Giuliana (the director) that put me immediately at ease The rest of the team and fantastic smile and immediate availability all with Malagasy discretion It's true cry arrival but even more at the start I go back for a longer stay with the rest of the family

Communication with Germano was perfect before the arrival on the scene and has shown itself accommodating. The bungalow is clean and peaceful location just beside the sea. However, our stay was marred by the fact that we have not had water (even cold) for almost two days. Power cuts are frequent, which is normal, but do not have water when you pay this price is very uncomfortable. Eusebe welcomes you at the airport, which is very convenient. After putting 24H to join him for various applications, it was finally available and charming to the end of our stay. By cons, more news Germano during the stay when we told him of our dissatisfaction regarding water. Somewhat mixed stay at final

The place is very nice as the pictures cliches. We were welcomed al aerodrome and accopagnes up to the bungalow by Mr. Euseb cool. The bungalow was very bright and very warm. The private beach is beautiful Lovely staff. We spent an extra stay and probably will come back

Housing is true, the beautiful view and quite well placed. The welcome was perfect with a person who waited for us at the boat and took us to the villa. Ditto for our departure. The transfer was included in the price. Only downside the price that is displayed on airbnb does not match the requested rate. Thank you to make the change for future tenants.

A superb accommodation, where we do not have all been disappointed, pictures are quite representative of the beauty of the place ... But this is not to mention the reception, FANTASTIC. Euzebe is available and welcoming. The villa is 4 km from the city center, well placed in relation to different things to do on the island but enough away from the city to enjoy the surroundings. We highly recommend!

Marc and Peggy, and their staff, are very kind and helpful. We felt welcomed and well looked after. Their villa is in a beautiful location, right by the sea. However the fixtures and fittings have become corroded by the salt spray and the bolts are very stiff to open the shutters and the kitchen equipment is quite old, though serviceable. We couldn't find a tin opener through! We used a large knife instead. Also the electricity supply was off one entire evening, which was a dark and boring experience. however, for Africa, perhaps this added to the authenticity!

A very nice stay on the beautiful island of Sainte Marie. The house is very nice creole type with a large terrace with kitchen and dining outdoors. We were pampered by Imelda who took care of us, the house, the kitchen and children. The beach in front of the house is gorgeous, the current brings thousands of shells on the beach. Marc and Pegguy were lovely and we were able to organize activities that corresponded exactly to our expectations. A moment of relaxation and discovery!

to enable us to make the most of our stay on this beautiful island of Sainte Marie Geny and Marc have made every effort and spared no effort to achieve this goal more and efficiently. Marc responds quickly to emails to prepare the trip and guided our taxi by telephone to facilitate our arrival. Down car we were expected by Marc who presented the scene and the cook and the maid and made available to keep a phone to join him at any time. We hesitated to accept this offer because we host appeared abnormally low in relation to the description. Actually we have a while to recover from our surprise. Indeed, the proposed house is beautiful, tasteful, functional with a terrace a few meters from the sea in a large well-maintained tropical garden. The description is frankly below the reality. Finally, Mark and his family are more than favorably known and recognized on the island and say that we are at Marc or just its part opens all doors. Marc takes care of everything as it delivered at home rental motorcycle so we can take a walk on the island! It is easy to understand that so we were happy to arrive as this wonderful home made our departure very difficult. We can only renew our sincere thanks to Marc, his wife Geny, Yann and his children Eloise and her mom for these few days spent with them.

Very good holiday spent at the villa of the roses! The villa is really ideal for relaxing! Marc and his family were very helpful! Goodies: direct access to the beach where one can easily swim, and take advantage of Melda of cooking skills! The least: do not be afraid little corny ... Ratatouille was the appointment every night! But not surprising for a villa in nature!

We were made to feel extremely welcome. I am disabled and hadn't told Marc. There was a slippery step down onto the beach and overnight he had it rebuilt to accomodate me. Marc seems to know everyone on the island and organised trips such as whale watching and general exploring for us at very reasonable rates. The accomodation was excellent (the photos don't do it justice). The chambermaid, chef and driver were all very cheerful and helpful. The only problem we had was that Air Madagascar went on strike and we had to spend an extra 4 days in paradise (shame!).
