At the gateway to Le Tampon, at 400 m above sea level and on the doorstep of the southern highlands, Villa Mascareignas is a home full of character set over two levels, fully renovated and tastefully decorated. At this altitude the nights are milder than on the coast, pleasant for sleeping. A double-height living room under timber beams, three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a large outdoor dining area: comfortable space for up to 8 guests to explore the south of the island.
The villa occupies the upper level of a house, reached by an outdoor tiled staircase. It spans two levels and 105 sq m.
The living room is striking with its high beamed ceiling and exposed timber. It opens onto a fully equipped kitchen (oven, induction hob, dishwasher, microwave, large fridge, coffee machine, kettle, toaster) with a stone breakfast bar and a granite worktop. The feel is both modern and Creole, bright all day long.
The covered varangue extends the living space: a large table for outdoor meals, bamboo blinds, and a glimpse of the sea horizon. This is the spot for quiet breakfasts and family dinners.
All three bedrooms are air-conditioned: - Bedroom 1 (ground floor): double bed, direct access to the varangue, soft natural tones. - Bedroom 2 (upper floor): double bed, window with sea view, desk corner for remote work. - Bedroom 3 (mezzanine): a double bed in an alcove on the lower part and a double bed on the open mezzanine, ideal for children or a group of friends.
Bathrooms: a bathroom on the ground floor with a corner bathtub and double sink, a shower room upstairs with a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet.
For families: generous living spaces and a small children's table area in the living room.
Key amenities: reversible air conditioning in every bedroom, fibre Wi-Fi, private parking (1 space included, 2nd on request), washing machine and drying rack, television, bed linen and towels provided, welcome toiletries.
Ideally located a stone's throw from the dual carriageway, the villa lets you reach Saint-Pierre, the coast and the volcano road within minutes, without the long winding roads. Le Tampon is the crossroads of southern Réunion, perfect for exploring without redoing the drive every day. - Saint-Pierre and its beaches: about 15 minutes. - Plaine des Cafres and the volcano road: about 25 minutes. - Piton de la Fournaise: about 25 minutes from Plaine des Cafres, then the volcano road. - Shops and restaurants: about 5 minutes, immediate access.
Ideal for families, couples, groups of friends, hiking and trail-running enthusiasts, and remote-work stays (fibre, desk corner, easy access).
Good to know before booking: the villa is on the upper floor, reached by an outdoor staircase of about ten steps. It is not suitable for people with reduced mobility. No swimming pool. No smoking indoors (allowed on the varangue), no pets, no parties or events.
