Villa Clarisse & Spa by Olivier Claire

What a place ! From the moment you walk in you feel special. The decor, the staff, the gardens, the location are all perfect. We were in room 2 which was spacious and lovely. Close enough to wander to the port but once you are in the garden or by the pool you could be in the middle of nowhere. The pool area is lovely, we had drinks from the honesty bar before heading out for dinner and the breakfast was amazing which we enjoyed in the garden. Perfect stay just wish it could have been for longer.

We had an excellent stay at Villa Clarisse with charming, discreet and ever helpful staff. The facilities were of a very high quality and the gardens very relaxing and lovely. A beautiful bijou and 5 star hotel. Our second visit but not our last.

We stayed for 6 nights in a large and well-appointed garden room. Very peaceful location but easy walk to many restaurants. Valet parking efficient. Staff really delightful. Breakfast excellent. Also garden and pool area (though pool area small with limited seating which may be an issue in busier times as guests from sister hotel can use it). Much enjoyed our stay UNTIL major problem at check-out. We booked on-line and it was made clear in writing that - to confirm the reservation - a 50% deposit was required. This was duly taken from my credit card well before arrival. On check out they had no record of the (large) deposit payment and did not make any effort to try to find it. I therefore paid the full amount. On return home I checked with my bank that the deposit payment had indeed been made and emailed all the confirmation codes to the hotel, which finally - and I have to say rather lazily - repaid the amount clearly due, some 15 days after check out. Which very much spoiled the experience - and may serve as a warning to others if their accounting systems are so bad.

This hotel is beautifully decorated. The gardens are very well maintained and a nice space to relax. I thoroughly enjoyed the spa and the newly renovated pool. Centrally located if you like to wonder around town do some shopping or enjoy a nice sunset with a chilled glass of wine.

We just arrived home from a wonderful stay at the Villa Clarisse which is located just down a quiet cobblestone street, away from the crowds in the lively square. We were graciously taken care of by the lovely and efficient team and the ‘villa’ is elegant and relaxed. Breakfast in the garden each morning was so peaceful. After a day of cycling the island it was a treat to return to such a beautiful place. The bed was exceptionally comfortable – we were restored and rejuvenated in the morning. The Villa Clarisse is truly a special place for us and we cannot wait to return.
