Le Charme d'Antan, for 6 people, A house, A memory, An emotion

The Charm of Yesteryear — A house, a memory, an emotion

There are places that you visit.
And others that you feel deeply.

Le Charme d'Antan is one of those rare houses, one of those that tell a storey before you have even put down your suitcases. At the entrance to Cilaos, in the heart of a spectacular setting, this authentic Creole hut opens its doors to you as one opens a precious book, passed down from generation to generation.

An arrival that has to be earned... and that amazes

Coming to Cilaos is already an experience in itself.
A mythical road, nearly 400 bends, an impressive climb through lush nature... then suddenly, the circus opens up.

And there, your breath is taken away.

When you arrive, an attention awaits you:
a bottle of still water and sparkling water from Cilaos, very cold, to quench your thirst after this unique trip.

The next morning, let yourself be surprised:
a hot coffee, fresh air, and a sunrise over the mountains, from the terrace (uncovered).
A suspended moment, almost unreal.

A house inhabited by the soul of its owners

They share a heritage.

Each object, each material, each detail has been chosen with a sincere intention: to transmit a piece of them, a piece of the island, a piece of Cilaos.

* Rare old objects, witnesses of another time
